In 2023, the Maranatha Reformed Church of Christ (MRCC), originally called De Zulu Hervormde Zendingskerk, celebrated the centenary of its existence in an intricate missional relationship with the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (NHKA).This is a significant milestone.Over a period of 100 years, many churches have emerged, many have disappear
Efficient CU and PU Decision Based on Neural Network and Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix for Intra Prediction of Screen Content Coding
Screen content coding (SCC) significantly improves the screen content compression efficiency over the high efficient video coding but at the cost of extremely huge computational complexity.The flexible quad-tree coding unit (CU) partitioning structure and the newly-introduced SCC intra modes are largely responsible for the high computational comple
De-Identification Mechanism of User Data in Video Systems According to Risk Level for Preventing Leakage of Personal Healthcare Information
A problem with biometric information is that it is more sensitive to external leakage, because it is information that cannot be changed immediately compared to general authentication methods.Regarding facial information, a case in which authentication was permitted by facial information output by a 3D printer was found.Therefore, a method for minim
Experimental and numerical response of rigid slender blocks with geometrical defects under seismic excitation
The present work investigates on the influence of small geometrical defects on the behavior of bempresas.com slender rigid blocks.A comprehensive experimental campaign was carried out on one of the shake tables of CEA/Saclay in France.The tested model was a massive steel block with standard manufacturing quality.Release, free oscillations tests as
Role of astroglial Connexin 43 in pneumolysin cytotoxicity and during pneumococcal meningitis.
Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus (PN) is a major causative agent of bacterial meningitis with high mortality in young infants and elderly people worldwide.The mechanism underlying PN crossing of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and specifically, the role of non-endothelial cells of the neurovascular unit that control the BBB function, remains
