Robust tampering detection and localization of composite image by Xiao WANG, Rong ZHANG, Lijun GUO

“…Aiming at the problem of tamper detection of composite image of natural images and highly simulated computer-generated images,a method of extracting image block color and texture feature based on differential histogram and local binary texture descriptor in YCbCr color space was proposed.By training posterior probability support vector machine,the image block to be measured was identified.In the case of non-overlapping block,the approximate tampering area was general judged,then the block was discriminated by pixel in the region,ultimately the accurate location of tampering area was achieved.The experimental results show that the recognition rate of 128 dpi×128 dpi image blocks is 94.75%,which is higher than other methods.The tapering region of the synthesized image can be precisely positioned,and the rotation and scaling operation show good coercivity.…”

Efficient DDoS attack detection and prevention scheme based on SDN in cloud environment by Heng HE, Yan HU, Lianghan ZHENG, Zhengyuan XUE

“…For addressing the problem of two typical types of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in cloud environment,a DDoS attack detection and prevention scheme called SDCC based on software defined network (SDN) architecture was proposed.SDCC used a combination of bandwidth detection and data flow detection,utilized confidence-based filtering (CBF) method to calculate the CBF score of packets,judged the packet of CBF score below the threshold as an attacking packet,added its attribute information to the attack flow feature library,and sent the flow table to intercept it through SDN controller.Simulation results show that SDCC can detect and prevent different types of DDoS attacks effectively,and it has high detection efficiency,reduces the controller’s computation overhead,and achieves a low false positive rate.…”

Subjektivität und Sprachgebrauch – Anregungen Michel Bréals für eine linguistische Pragmatik? by Heinz-Helmut Lüger

“…The role of Michel Bréal in the development of modern linguistics is judged very differently. Is Bréal the "inventor" of the word semantics (Touratier 2000), can his Essai de sémantique from 1897 even be considered as revolutionary (Tamba-Mecz 1988) or as the foundation of a new linguistic sub-discipline (Schmehl 2006)? …”

Soulèvement populaire au pays de Chávez by Julien Rebotier

“…Stemming from a socio-historical and geographical perspective, a contextual and prospective analysis of such violence brings a better understanding of the events instead of merely judging a government. The analysis also brings Venezuelan riots into a continental crossroads: between the emerging of strong social queries (services, democracy, consumption) and the weakness of States that are only recently getting stronger from the regional left turn of the 2000. …”

Les Souverains Anonymes : des archives carcérales du « dedans » by Simon-Olivier Gagnon, Anne Klein

“…Since 1999, a website has been online, which constitutes a form of archive of prisoners over which they have control, unlike the archives of police and judicial institutions, which are generally the documents through which these people are seized, whether by police officers and judges or by historians. As an expression of the concerns of the incarcerated, these archives not only make it possible to write a history from prison, but they are also the manifestation of a singular relationship to the world that is constructed over the course of the archiving process.…”

Anatomie d’une condamnation by Alessandro Gamberini

“…After describing the conditions of the sentence given to the three former militants of “Lotta continua” and laying stress on some contradictory aspects in the informants’ statements on which the accusation is based, the author analyzes an internal contradiction in the way justice operates: a contradiction that has opposed, on many occasions during the long judicial process (from 1988 to 2000), the giudici di merito, who pronounce on the guilt of the defendants, and the giudici di legittimità, the judges of the court of Cassation, whose role is to guarantee the legitimacy of the procedures. …”
