Estimation for filtering attacks on QIM watermarks by WANG Jin-shen, DAI Yue-wei, WANG Zhi-quan

“…A scheme for estimating two-band amplitude scale attack within a quantization-based watermarking context was presented.Quantization-based watermarking schemes are not robust against linear time invariant（LTI） filtering attacks,on which a multi-band amplitude scaling attack that modifies the spectrum of the signal using an analysis/synthesis filter bank was concentrated.First the probability density function（PDF） of the attacked signal was derived.Second,using a simplified approximation of the PDF model,a maximum likelihood（ML） procedure for estimating two-band amplitude scaling factor was proposed.Finally,experiments were performed with synthetic audio signals showing the good performance of the proposed estimation technique under realistic conditions.…”

Histoire et épistémologie des savoirs locaux et autochtones by Marie Roué

“…In this paper, we will attempt an anthropological history of the concept of “local knowledge”, from the first research dedicated to the botanical or zoological knowledge of “traditional” peoples carried out in the 50’s, to the outburst of interest on behalf of actors as disparate as the World Bank, conservation and development NGOs, governments, biodiversity managers, not to mention the main stakeholders, i.e. indigenous peoples and local specialised groups.Through the history of different networks that contributed to developing the concept of local knowledge, traditional or indigenous ecological knowledge, we will highlight precursors and replace them in their heuristic context. …”

通用引物鉴定野鸟源禽流感病毒HA亚型 by 张苗, 柴洪亮, 杨思远, 侯志军, 邢明伟, 孙颖, 华育平

“…即利用1对通用引物对所有病毒样品进行RT-PCR扩增,将各PCR产物进行核苷酸序列测定并与GenBank上参考毒株序列进行同源性比较,以确定其HA亚型。BLAST分析显示,22株已知亚型毒株的PCR扩增产物的序列测定结果与GenBank公布的相应亚型毒株序列比较其核苷酸序列同源性均在99%～87%之间,而6株未知亚型的野鸟流感病毒毒株测得的核苷酸序列经BLAST比对分别确立为1株H4、1株H5、2株H7、2株H11亚型。…”

Foundations of radar synthesis theory of phantom objects formation in SAR images by Volodymyr Pavlikov, Simeon Zhyla, Pavlo Pozdniakov, Denys Kolesnikov, Hlib Cherepnin, Olexandr Shmatko, Oleksii Odokiienko, Pavlo Malashta, Eduard Tserne

“…The following results were obtained: 1) the structure of the PhR is defined, which includes a receiver, a bank of SAR signal models, a bank of object models to be injected into the PhR signal, and a transmitter; 2) the parameters of the received SAR sensing signal that need to be estimated in the PhR receiver are determined; 3) the geometry of interaction in the “SAR-PhR” system is described, which allowed us to determine an expression for estimating the distance between SAR and PhR, as well as to estimate the distance-related parameters, such as signal delay time and characteristics of sensing signals. …”
