Effects of Furrow Irrigation on the Growth, Production, and Water Use Efficiency of Direct Sowing Rice by Chunlin He

“…The improved WUE in the FI system is attributed to (1) a significant reduction of irrigation rate, seepage, evaporation, and evapotranspiration; (2) a significant reduction in the reduced materials, such as ferrous ion (Fe2+), and therefore an increase in the vitality of the root system, evident by the increases in the number of white roots by 32.62%, and decreases in the number of black roots by 20.04% and yellow roots by 12.58%; the use of the FI system may also reduce humidity of the rice field and enhance gas transport in the soil and light penetration, which led to reduced rice diseases and increased leaf vitality; and (3) increases in tiller and effective spikes by 11.53% and the weight per thousand grains by 1.0 g. …”

Bifunctional watermarking for copyright protection and content authentication with perfectly blind detection by Dong XUE, Yaxun ZHOU, Wei JIN

“…In view of the limitation that most of the watermarking algorithms are single in functions and unable to achieve perfectly blind detection,a bifunctional watermarking algorithm with perfectly blind detection for copyright protection and content authentication was proposed.The algorithm adopted the idea of region segmentation for sub-block,and the generation and embedding of watermark were respectively carried out in the different regions of the same sub-block.A feature watermark was generated by judging the parity of the first digit from the average of maximum singular values,and the watermark was embedded by adjusting two DCT coefficients of adjacent blocks in the same position.Both the image copyright protection and content authentication functions were achieved by comparing the generated feature watermark and blindly extracting authentication watermark in the detection.Compared to some of the reported watermarking schemes,the proposed algorithm not only has better robustness against the common attacks to realize the copyright protection,but also has a good sensitivity to malicious image tampering to accurately locate the tampered area.…”

Human-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms affecting transcription factor binding and their role in pathogenesis by E. V. Antontseva, A. O. Degtyareva, E. E. Korbolina, I. S. Damarov, T. I. Merkulova

“…To predict rSNPs, approaches based on searches for allele-specific events in RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, ATAC-seq, MPRA, and other data are also used. Nonetheless, for a more complete functional annotation of such rSNPs, it is necessary to establish their association with a trait, in particular, with a predisposition to a certain pathology or sensitivity to drugs. …”
