Lightweight Cipher for H.264 Videos in the Internet of Multimedia Things with Encryption Space Ratio Diagnostics

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Within an Internet of Multimedia Things, the risk of disclosing streamed video content, such as that arising from video surveillance, is of heightened concern. This leads to the encryption of that content.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

A Joint Representation of Rényi’s and Tsalli’s Entropy with Application in Coding Theory

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2017
We introduce a quantity which is called Rényi’s-Tsalli’s entropy of order ξ and discussed some of its major properties with Shannon and other entropies in the literature. Further, we give its application in coding theory and a coding theorem analogous to

Precise Estimation of Probabilities in CABAC Using the Cauchy Optimization Method

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
The algorithm of entropy coding that is now widely used in video compression is the Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC). This paper presents a modified, improved version of CABAC, called the CABAC+.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Efficient Inter-Prediction Method Using Reference Frame Accumulation for MPEG G-PCC

open access: yesIEEE Access
This paper presents a novel hybrid reference frame generation method to enhance the inter-prediction performance of geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC), a recent point cloud coding standard developed by the moving picture experts group (MPEG ...

Entropy Coding Aided Adaptive Subcarrier-Index Modulated OFDM

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
We propose entropy coding-aided adaptive subcarrier-index-modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SIM-OFDM). In conventional SIM-OFDM, the indices of the subcarriers activated are capable of conveying extra information. We propose the novel

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Entropy Approximation in Lossy Source Coding Problem

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
In this paper, we investigate a lossy source coding problem, where an upper limit on the permitted distortion is defined for every dataset element. It can be seen as an alternative approach to rate distortion theory where a bound on the allowed average ...
