The steganography is applied on text, image, video, and audio files. useful for safe secure data transmission. Video used to preserve confidential information of security applications. To improve the message, pixels locations are optimized using nature inspired algorithm. As conventional algorithms have a low convergence rate new algorithm proposed. A New developed by combining two model namely...

Dietary lipids may affect sperm membrane structure, fluidity and its susceptibility to oxidative phenomena which may lead to altered sperm viability and proper binding to eggs. Given the recently demonstrated beneficial effects of fish oil diets on turkey fertility and embryo viability, the aim of this study was to test a caviar-derived marine product on spermatogenesis and sperm quality. Sixty...

While the current expansion of conservation genetics enables to address more efficiently the management of threatened species, alternative methods for genetic relatedness data analysis in polyploid species are necessary. Within this framework, we present a standardized and simple protocol specifically designed for polyploid species that can facilitate management of genetic diversity, as exempli...

The range of Shovelnose Sturgeon (SVS) Scaphirhynchus pla-torynchus in the great rivers of central North America has contracted, but most remaining populations are considered stable, likely due to a combination of successful harvest regulations and longitudinal continuity of many river reaches, despite damming in upper reaches. The evolutionary relationships of SVS relative to sister taxa is st...

Person re-identification (re-id) is a critical problem in video analytics applications such as security and surveillance. The public release of several datasets and code for vision algorithms has facilitated rapid progress in this area over the last few years. However, directly comparing re-id algorithms reported in the literature has become difficult since a wide variety of features, experimen...

This paper focuses on the problem of human activity representation and automatic recognition. We first describe an approach for human activity representation. We define the concepts of roles, relations, situations and temporal graph of situations (the context model). This context model is transformed into a Fuzzy Petri Net which naturally expresses the smooth changes of activity states from one...

Visual cues to the individual segments of speech and to sentence prosody guide speech recognition. The present study tested whether visual suprasegmental cues to the stress patterns of words can also constrain recognition. Dutch listeners use acoustic suprasegmental cues to lexical stress (changes in duration, amplitude, and pitch) in spoken-word recognition. We asked here whether they can also...

In this chapter we introduce the problem of identity inference as a generalization of person re-identification. It is most appropriate to distinguish identity inference from re-identification in situations where a large number of observations must be identified without knowing a priori that groups of test images represent the same individual. The standard singleand multi-shot person re-identifi...
