Altering Split Decisions of Coding Units for Message Embedding in HEVC
(Springer, 2017-05)
This paper proposes a novel message embedding solution based on modifying the split decisions of HEVC videos. The encoder starts by computing a mapping between the split decisions of a Coding Unit (CU) and its features ...
Saliency detection in MPEG and HEVC video using intra-frame and inter-frame distances
(Springer, 2016-04)
This paper proposes a video saliency detection model for MPEG and HEVC coded videos. The model extracts features from MPEG macro blocks and HEVC coding units. The feature variables are based on syntax elements and statistics ...
Environmental Management Systems in Public Sector
(Edward Elgar, 2023)
This chapter focuses on environmental management systems (EMS) in public sector organisations (PSOs). Our objectives are to 1) explain what is an EMS, describe the two main EMS standards (ISO 14001 and EMAS) and how to ...
Scaffold‑based 3D cell culture models in cancer research
(Springer Nature, 2024)
Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures have emerged as valuable tools in cancer research, offering significant advantages over traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems. In 3D cell cultures, cancer cells are grown ...
Structural and Durability Performance of 3D Concrete Printing
(2023-07)
3D concrete printing, 3DCP, is considered the latest digital technology in the construction industry, it has proven its potential in a wide range of disciplines. Recently, there has been growing interest in exploring 3D ...
Evaluation of Estrone Liposomes using Microfluidics for Breast Cancer Therapy
(2023-11)
Breast cancer, the predominant and frequently recurring cancer in women on a global scale, presents challenges to traditional chemotherapy methods. This is primarily due to issues such as systemic toxicity, low solubility, ...
Semantic based navigation and lane keeping
(2023-04)
This thesis develops a novel method of robotic navigation and lane keeping system for the outdoor environment. The system uses semantic information, that is knowledge of a given map, and camera-based object detection of ...
Corporate Diversification, Earnings Management, and Financial Statement Readability
(2023-11)
I examine the implications of corporate diversification on the quality of financial reporting measured as earnings management and financial statement readability. The results reveal that diversified firms have a lower ...
Model Parameter Identification of Supercapacitors Using Metaheuristic Gradient Based Optimization
(2023-11)
Energy storage plays an essential role in both conventional and renewable energy systems, serving as a backup power source and maintaining grid stability between load-demand cycles. The effective control of energy transfer ...
