Text coverless information hiding method based on synonyms expansion and label delivery mechanism by Zhen ZHANG, Jiaming NI, Ye YAO, Lichun GONG, Yujuan WANG, Guohua WU

“…To solve the problems of low hiding capacity and weak detection resistance, a method of coverless information hiding based on synonyms expansion and label delivery mechanism was proposed.To begin the proposed method, the secret information were divided into several keywords, then those keywords were embedded in different carrier texts respectively.Considering the interchangeability of synonyms in Chinese, using the word similarity calculation method based on HowNet,it was possible to filter synonyms which met the contextual semantics.For the purpose of increasing hiding capacity, various keywords or their synonyms were embedded in the same carrier text as much as possible.At the same moment, when recording the positional parameters of the secret information in each carrier text, those parameters were converted into a binary sequence in a fixed format, which was used to generate carrier text.Finally, the carrier texts and generated text were sent to the receiver.Comparison of the results with those of other studies confirm that the proposed method not only makes great improvement in hiding capacity and detection resistance, but also reduces the overhead of establishing and maintaining databases by using small text database.…”

Optimization and realization of SWIPT relay channel transmission rate based on rateless code by Weijia LEI, Minghao DONG

“…The optimization of the transmission rate and implementation of the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in a relay system were studied.In a three-node two-hop system,the decode-and-forward protocol was employed by the relay node.One transmission period was divided into two phases.The first phase was the simultaneous transmission of the information and energy from the source to the relay.The received signal at the relay node was split to two parts.One part was used for information decoding,and the other was converted into energy for information forwarding in the second phase.In the second phase,the information was forwarded according to the decode-and-forward protocol by the relay.The power splitting factor was optimized to minimize the total time of the two hops for the transmission of a certain amount of information when the durations of the two hops were unequal.Furthermore,Raptor codes were combined with different modulation modes to realize different transmission rates on the two hops for the efficient utilization of the different channel capacities in the two hops.The selection mechanism of the codeword length of Raptor codes and modulation mode was given.The simulation proves that the two hops with unequal durations can achieve a higher throughput,and the capacity of the relay channel can be efficiently used by employing Raptor codes,and an efficient and reliable transmission is realized.…”

Hydropower landscapes and tourism development in the Pyrenees by Jean-François Rodriguez

“…This runs counter to these prejudices and may well give rise to new ways of looking at these hybrid landscapes.The cross-border comparison of the Neouvielle and Encantats massifs in the Pyrenees reveals that their hydropower resources are exploited in the same way, but that heritage aspects are managed differently: dismantling of ancillary installations at the dams with a view to protecting the so-called “natural” landscapes in the Neouvielle massif, as opposed to rehabilitating and converting this heritage in the Encantats massifs with a view to developing a form of tourism that takes into account the hybrid nature of the vestiges visible in today’s landscape.…”

Les conditions d’exercice du travail des cadres de premier niveau : une étude de cas by François Bolduc, Geneviève Baril-Gingras

“…The article presents and discusses three types of results: some examples of how the prescribed task is converted into an effective task and of its translation into their work activity; a synthesis of how they perceive their role or "effective task"; and observations about the gap between this perception and their working conditions, in particular because of a quantitative work overload, limited actual autonomy, and obstacles to the planning and long-term development of their services. …”
