We propose the reversible data hiding algorithm for progressive image transmission in this paper. With the alteration of difference values between original and predicted images, reversible data hiding can be applicable to progressive image transmission. For assessing parameters including the reversibility, embedding capacity, and image quality, with our algorithm, we observe the generally bette...

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the benefits of cloud computing to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within Gauteng in South Africa. A survey was used as a data collection method for this research. The results of this study reveal that cloud computing characteristics may have positive impacts on SMEs’ performances. The results suggest that Information Quality and System Quality ch...

introduction: self-assessment in healthcare is inevitable, like in all other sections. scarce resources, necessity of performance refining, vitality of provided services and quality of services are evidence for necessity of having a proper system of self-assessment of performance in this area. hence, the purpose of present study was to study areas of improvement based on european foundation for...

the widespread use of internet has caused new psychological, social, and educational problems for the students. the aim of this study was to examine the quality of life in medical students who suffer from internet addiction. this cross-sectional survey was carried out in tehran university of medical sciences, and a total of 174 fourth-to seventh-year undergraduate medical students were enrolled...

in a 2  3  2 factorial arrangement, 144, fifty–four-week-old laying hens, in 12 treatments with 12 replicates for each treatment, received one of 12 diets based on maize or wheat containing three levels of dried tomato pomace (dtp: 0, 50 and 100 g/kg) as a substitute for wheat bran, and two levels of pigment (0 and 900 mg/kg), for 9 weeks. weight gain (wg), egg production (ep), egg weight (ew...

the objective of present study was to determine the effects of β-mannanase-based enzyme (hemicell®) on productive performance and egg quality in diets containing graded levels of whole date waste (wdw) fed to laying hens. a total of 336 hy-line leghorn hens after production peak were randomly divided into 56 cages. eight iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous experimental diets in a 4 × 2 factorial ...

the current internet inherently has a degree of survivability due to the connection less ip protocol. dynamic routing protocols are designed to react to faults by changing routes when routers learn about topology changes via routing information updates (e.g., link status advertisements). loss of quality of service (qos) has not been an issue because current internet traffic is the best-effort. ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of mineral and vitamin premix on performance and egg traits of laying hens from 37 to 49 weeks of age. two hundred and forty laying hens (hy-line w-36 strain) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments of four replicates each with 12 hens per replicate). the levels of mineral and vitamin premixes in the experiment were ...
