Image Hashing for Tamper Detection with Multiview Embedding and Perceptual Saliency by Ling Du, Zhen Chen, Yongzhen Ke

“…In this paper, we propose a Multi-View Semi-supervised Hashing algorithm with Perceptual Saliency (MV-SHPS), which explores supervised information and multiple features into hashing learning simultaneously. Our method calculates the image hashing distance by taking into account the perceptual saliency rather than directly considering the distance value between total images. …”

Global Modeling of the Oceanic Source of Organic Aerosols by Stelios Myriokefalitakis, Elisabetta Vignati, Kostas Tsigaridis, Christos Papadimas, Jean Sciare, Nikolaos Mihalopoulos, Maria Cristina Facchini, Matteo Rinaldi, Frank J. Dentener, Darius Ceburnis, Nikos Hatzianastasiou, Colin D. O'Dowd, Michiel van Weele, Maria Kanakidou

“…The computed marine SOA originates from the dimethylsulfide oxidation (∼78%), the potentially formed dialkyl amine salts (∼21%), and marine hydrocarbon oxidation (∼0.1%). Comparison of calculations with observations indicates an additional marine source of soluble organic carbon that could be partially encountered by marine POA chemical ageing.…”
