?-Synuclein aggregation is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease and promising biomarker for early detection assessment progression. The prospect molecular test materializing with the recent developments methods based on amplification synuclein seeds (e.g. RT-QuIC or PMCA). Here we adapted single-molecule counting ?-synuclein aggregates in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), using simple 3D printed microsco...

A number of reviews have accompanied and monitored the progress of molecular phylogenetic research on bryophytes, focusing on the publication record itself, bryophyte phylogeny and systematics in the molecular era, as well as the evolution and phylogenetic utility of markers from different genomes. However, none of the recent reviews include a detailed characterization of all molecular markers ...

Fingerprinting protocol applies a watermarking technique to embed a fingerprinting information in a digital content such as music, image, movie, etc.. The cryptographic protocol is studied by many researchers, but how to apply watermarking techniques is not remarked. In this paper, we study the problem to implement the watermarking techniques in the fingerprinting protocol, and then propose an ...

Including a unique code in each copy of a distributed document is an effective way of fighting intellectual piracy. Codes designed for this purpose that are secure against collusion attacks are called fingerprinting codes. In this paper we consider fingerprinting with the marking assumption and design codes that achieve much higher rates than previous constructions. We conjecture that these cod...

The most prevalent natural source of hydrocolloids, cosmetics, medications, and nutraceuticals is marine seaweed (macroalgae). Numerous bioactivities, including antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory characteristics, have been found in bioactive substances such as polyphenols sulfated non-sulfated polysaccharides. As a result, new start-up projects industries based on are em...

Fingerprinting schemes allow tracing of illegally redistributed multimedia contents. When using asymmetric fingerprinting, the merchant does not know the marked copy nor the embedded mark, so fraudulent distribution of the content by the merchant –which could lead to framing honest customers– is not possible. A problem with the deployment of classical asymmetric fingerprinting protocols is that...

Fingerprinting techniques are receiving widespread attention in the field of information security. In this paper we argue that they may be of specific interest for the field of network forensics. In three case studies, we explore the use of fingerprinting techniques to improve and extend current investigative methods and showcase why fingerprinting allows for more target-oriented investigations...

Digital fingerprinting of multimedia data involves embedding information in the content, and offers protection to the digital rights of the content by allowing illegitimate usage of the content to be identified by authorized parties. One potential threat to fingerprints is collusion, whereby a group of adversaries combine their in&vidual copies in an attempt to remove the underlying fingerprint...
