Copy move forgery is a type of image forgery in which a portion of the original image is copied and pasted in a new location on the same image. The consistent illumination and noise pattern make this kind of forgery more difficult to detect. In copy-move forgery detection, conventional approaches ar...

In this work, using the concepts of qq-calculus, we first define the qq-Jung-Kim-Srivastava and qq-Bernardi integral operators for multivalent functions. Then, we use these operators to establish the generalized integral operator ℬq,p−m−λf(z){{\mathcal{ {\mathcal B} }}}_{q,p}^{-m-\lambda }f\left(z)...

The use of supplementary feeds, including concentrates, on New Zealand dairy farms has increased in recent decades and this could have mitigated methane (CH4) emissions by decreasing the forage-to-concentrate ratio. The forage-to-concentrate ratio in the diet can be easily managed in cows that recei...
