A polymeric photosensitizer, poly(NIPAM-co-RB), consisting of N-isopropylacrylamide and rose bengal units, demonstrates a temperature-controlled changeable oxygenation selectivity by singlet oxygen in water.

the present study investigated the use of interactive metadiscourse resources (imrs) in terms of appropriacy during a process- based writing course by applying qualitative and exploratory methods. moreover, learners' perception was investigated to find out how confident they felt as they were writing and rewriting the drafts. 30 intermediate efl learners were chosen to participate in this study...

This paper studies the methods for changing thresholds in the absence of secure channels after the setup of threshold secret sharing schemes. First, we construct a perfect (t, n) threshold scheme that is threshold changeable to t ′ > t , which is optimal with respect to the share size. This improves the scheme of Wang and Wong by relaxing the requirement from q ≥ n + v to q > n with the secret-...

The biological vision system is far more efficient than machine vision system. This is due to the former has rich neural layers for representation and process. In order to obtain a non-task-dependent image representation schema, the early phase of neural vision mechanism is worth simulating. We design a neural model to simulate non-classical receptive field of ganglion cell and its local feedba...

Because visual predation occurs day and night, many predators must have good night vision. Prey therefore exhibit antipredator behaviours in very dim light. In the field, the giant Australian cuttlefish (Sepia apama) assumes camouflaged body patterns at night, each tailored to its immediate environment. However, the question of whether cuttlefish have the perceptual capability to change their c...

This work proposes a Secure and authenticated discrete reversible data hiding in cipher images deals with security and authentication. In the first phase, a content owner encrypts the original uncompressed image using an encryption key. Then , a data hider may compress the least significant bits of the encrypted image using a data hiding key to create a sparse space to accommodate some addition...

systems use digital models to provide interactive viewing. We present a 3D digital video system that attempts to provide the same capabilities for actual performances such as dancing. Recreating the original dynamic scene in 3D, the system allows photorealistic interactive playback from arbitrary viewpoints using video streams of a given scene from multiple perspectives. V irtual reality can be...

In this paper the interaction between users and the interactive theorem prover HOL is investigated from a human-computer interaction perspective. First, we outline three possible views of interaction, and give a brief survey of some current interfaces and how they may be described in terms of these views. Second, we describe and present the results of an empirical study of intermediate and expe...
