CFA-Based Splicing Forgery Localization Method via Statistical Analysis by Lei Liu, Peng Sun, Yubo Lang, Jingjiao Li

“…To avoid the impact of this impractical assumption, a CFA-based forgery localization method independent of linear assumption is proposed. The probability of an interpolated pixel value falling within the range of its neighboring acquired pixel values is computed. …”

Coexistence in a metapopulation model with explicit local dynamics by Zhilan Feng, Robert Swihart, Yingfei Yi, Huaiping Zhu

“…Many patch-based metapopulation models assume that the localpopulation within each patch is at its equilibrium and independent of changesin patch occupancy. We studied a metapopulation model that explicitly incorporates the local population dynamics of two competing species. …”

ATTEMPTS TO LEGITIMIZE POLITICAL POWER IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS FROM THE COLONIAL TO THE POST-COLONIAL PERIOD by Nguyễn Văn Bắc

“…In this work, in addition to some common theories on legitimate domination, the author tries to apply several national perspectives to explain each player’s attempts in legitimizing and stabilizing their control over the Central Highlands from the French colonial period until Vietnam was entirely independent and united in 1975.…”

On the Periodic Orbits of Four-Particle Time-Dependent FPU Chains by Hongwu Tang, Mingyan Xing, Qihuai Liu, Guirong Jiang

“…In this case, the unperturbed system has the linear spectra 2 and 2, which are rational independent. Therefore, the classical averaging theory cannot be applied directly, and the existence and multiplicity of periodic orbits for four-particle FPU chains is proved by using a new result from averaging theory by Buică, Francoise, and Llibre.…”

Age-related change in inhibitory processes when controlling working memory capacity and processing speed: A confirmatory factor analysis. by Nuria Carriedo, Odir A Rodríguez-Villagra, Juan A Moriano, Pedro R Montoro, Valentín Iglesias-Sarmiento

“…The main purpose of this study was to examine the age-related changes in inhibitory control of 450 children at the ages of 7-8, 11-12, and 14-16 when controlling for working memory capacity (WMC) and processing speed to determine whether inhibition is an independent factor far beyond its possible reliance on the other two factors. …”

Evolutionary Analysis of Innovation Development in a Metropolitan Area from a Symbiosis Perspective: Empirical Research on the Shanghai Metropolitan Area by Quanxiang Xue, Can Liu, Min Zhao, Jie Wu

“…The research results showed that under a reciprocal relationship, the innovative development of core city and node cities was higher than the actual level; under a mutual inhibition symbiosis or parasitic symbiotic relationship, the innovative development of core city and node cities was lower than the actual level; and under an independent symbiotic relationship, the innovative development of the core city was higher than the actual level, while that of the node cities was lower than the actual level.…”

SER Performance of Enhanced Spatial Multiplexing Codes with ZF/MRC Receiver in Time-Varying Rayleigh Fading Channels by In-Ho Lee

“…With the spatial correlation between transmit antennas, SER equations for M-ary QAM and PSK constellations are derived by using a moment generating function (MGF) approximation of a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), based on the assumption of independent zero-forced SNRs. Analytic and simulated results are compared for time-varying and spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channels that are modelled as first-order Markovian channels. …”

Optimal Wavelet Estimation of Density Derivatives for Size-Biased Data by Jinru Wang, Zijuan Geng, Fengfeng Jin

“…A perfect achievement has been made for wavelet density estimation by Dohono et al. in 1996, when the samples without any noise are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). But in many practical applications, the random samples always have noises, and estimation of the density derivatives is very important for detecting possible bumps in the associated density. …”

PROGNOSTIC FACTORS FOR RESECTABLE COMMON BILE DUCT CANCER by A. Yu. Syskova, I. S. Stilidi, A. N. Polyakov

“…Five-year overall survival is 18-48%, and more than half of the patients relapse within five years.Metastases in the regional lymph nodes and the presence of tumor cells in the margin of the resection are independent factors of a negative prognosis and are associated with a high risk of recurrence.The clinical significance of other prognostic factors, such as renal invasion, low degree of differentiation, tumor size, pancreatic invasion and the need for resection of adjacent organs, require further study.…”
