Adaptive digital watermarking algorithm under image quad-tree partition by Wen-xing LIU, Wei CHEN, Yuan LIU

“…An adaptive digital watermarking algorithm based on image quad-tree partition was proposed.The original image was approximated by various least square polynomial patches at multiple scales and was organized by a quad-tree structure.At the same time,this representation also reflected the texture information of image.By calculating the watermark embedding intensity in different regions,an adaptive digital watermarking scheme based on the number of the refined meshes in each region was realized.The experiment results show that this algorithm has the good imperceptibility and robustness.…”

Social attributes aware data forwarding strategy in intermittently connected wireless networks by UDa-peng W, ONGXiao-long K, HANGHong-pei Z, IUQiao-shou L, IONGYu X, ANGRu-yan W

“…The nodes in the intermittent connection wireless network have the aggregation feature,the relation between nodes should be considered by the packet transmitting procedure.A social attributes aware data forwarding strategy in ICWN is proposed.According to the multiple parameters of network status,the social attribute of nodes is evaluated with the distribute manner; moreover,the relation between nodes is determined.Consequently,the packets are forwarded to their destination nodes.Results show that the packet delivery ratio and the delay can be optimized by proposed strategy.…”

A imagem como instrumento de identidade – A figuração de São Jerónimo no manuscrito Bíblico ANTT, Lorvão 45 by Inês Correia

“…It reflects an exercise of analysis based on Panofsky's method, but complemented by the vision of image as a possible result of multiple meaning, applied by Jean Wirth as hybrid iconography.Several 'Scribe' images, from Bibles of the same period, are compared with earlier ones, in order to achieve a deliberate iconographic system, which relates the Scribe (as scriptor) with Jerome (Doctor of the Church).…”

Virtual Network Resource Allocation Algorithm Based on Load Balance in Carrier-SDN by Li Wang, Jihong Zhao, Hua Qu, Ya Guo

“…Resource allocation algorithm for virtual networks in carrier-SDN based on load balance was proposed.Firstly,multiple-layered model of carrier-SDN was constructed.Secondly,the binaryzation of particle swarm optimization algorithm with the characteristic of virtual network embedding（VNE）algorithm was realized.Finally,load balance was set as optimization object,then the solution of VNE problem was got.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has superior performance in terms of load balance,acceptance ratio and average compared with existing methods.…”
