Digital fingerprinting of multimedia data involves embedding information in the content signal 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 fingerprinting is collusion, whereby a group of adversaries combine their individual co
The toppling deformation in bank slope of V-shaped Gorge reservoirs in Southwest China is very common.After the impoundment of the reservoir, geological disasters such as collapse and landslide may occur in toppling bank slope, which poses a threat to the normal operation of hydropower projects and personnel safety.Therefore, it is of great enginee
Understanding the optimal wavelength for detecting the water column profile from a light detection and ranging (lidar) system is important in the design of oceanographic lidar systems.In this research, the optimal wavelength for detecting the water column profile using a lidar system at the global scale was analyzed based on the inherent optical pr
We present a case report of a 66-year-old female who underwent salvage arthrodesis after a failed Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement secondary to aseptic loosening and talar subsidence.Secondary to the loss of talar integrity the decision was made Business to proceed with revisional ankle arthrodesis.To maintain limb length the primary surgeon (E
The National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) developed and operates a collaborative network of atmospheric-mercury-monitoring sites based in North America – the Atmospheric Mercury Network (AMNet).The justification for the network was growing interest and demand from many scientists and policy makers for a robust database of measurement
