A video steganalysis method based on coding cost variation by Jianyi Liu, Cong Zhang, Ru Zhang, Yi Li, Jie Cheng

“…Motion Vector Coding Cost Change features can be well consistent with the coding cost before recoding by analyzing the sub-pixel coding cost of recoding. By counting the sub-pixel coding costs of motion vectors before and after video recoding, the Sum of Absolute Difference values of motion vectors instead of predicted residuals are applied to steganalysis and detection, and the steganographic algorithm based on motion vectors is effectively detected. …”

FATIGUE STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF HIGH-STRENGTH JOINT BOLTS UNDER MULTIAXIAL NONPROPORTIONAL LOADING SPECTRUM by CAO FaJun

“…And the calculation process of the method described as following: first,the multi-axial non-proportional loads,which loading on the hub blade because of natural wind,were transformed into corresponding stress spectrum after the process of the stress calculation of housing FE model and the stress treated according to the rain-flow counting rules. Second,the Mises stress was synthesized at the calculation nodal location of the bolt cross section from the multi-axial stress spectrum. …”

Four-Channel Vibrating Testbed Design for Full Vehicle Durability Simulation by Huiqi Du, Shiqing Xu

“…In order to reflect the fatigue process of parts more truly, the anomaly points were identified and eliminated based on the two-parameter rain-flow counting method. By representing the transfer function in the frequency domain, the measured signal is changed quickly by Fourier, and the uniqueness of the transfer function is ensured by establishing an invariant system. …”

Triglyceride-Glucose Index and its Relationship to Erectile Dysfunction in Subjects without Heart Disease by Sudeep Jayaram, S Santhosh, Nikhil Vaidya, Arifa Bakerywala, Harsh Anadkat, Heena Shaikh

“…Results: The examination indicated that there were no notable disparities between the two groups regarding smoking rates, alcohol intake, or measurements of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, haemoglobin, creatinine levels, and leukocyte and platelet counts. Individuals experiencing erectile dysfunction were found to be older and exhibited significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, triglycerides, and the TyG index compared to the control group. …”

DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models. by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

“…Most of these methods approximate the ℓ0 (pseudo) norm by more tractable functions; however, to estimate more accurate solutions, it is preferable to directly use the ℓ0 norm for counting the number of nonzero elements. To this end, we focus on sparse estimation of GGM with the cardinality constraint based on the ℓ0 norm. …”

Seeds and vegetative propagules of all selected invasive plants in Europe do not survive industrial composting by Sabina Tomše, Marjeta Resnik, Nejc Gorjan, Simona Strgulc Krajšek

“…The composted and fresh vegetative propagules were planted in pots with soil, and the number of rooted parts was counted. None of the seeds and the vegetative propagules survived the industrial composting process, and we can conclude that it is safe to dispose of the IAPS like other organic waste or green cut.…”
