Blind detection for image steganography using short du ate codes statistical model for Hilbert scanning sequences by Shang-ping ZHONG, Qiao-fen XU, Wen-zhong GUO, Bin LIAO

“…By analyzing and proving the correlation between the detection capability of a short duplicate code statistical feature and the probability of cumulating short duplicate codes、the dimension of short duplicate codes,a method to improving the detection capability of a short duplicate code statistical feature was found.Then,a blind detection method for image steganography using short duplicate codes statistical model for Hilbert scanning sequences was proposed.The proposed method used Poisson distribution test to detect the stego-message based on the statistical feature of short duplicate code with same elements in LSB Hilbert scanning sequences.So,the proposed method could make full use of Hilbert curve to maintain the good properties of local correlation,and could not only use the correlation of adjacent elements,but also use the correlation of elements in local regions.Theoretical lysis and experiments show that the proposed method can effectively improve the detection rate under the condition of effectively controlling the false alarm rate.…”

Creative occupations as knowledge practices: Innovation and precarity in the creative economy by Hearn Greg

“…This paper commences with some description of empirical work that investigates creative occupations; however, the real point is to suggest that this type of detailed, occupation-based empirical work has important theoretical potential that has not yet been fully expended (though see Cunningham 2013; Hearn and Bridgstock 2014; Bakhshi, Freeman and Higgs 2013; Hartley and Potts 2014).…”

Shuffled differential privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication by Weijin JIANG, Yilin CHEN, Yuqing HAN, Yuting WU, Wei ZHOU, Haijuan WANG

“…Aiming at the current problem of insufficient security in clustering data collection and publication, in order to protect user privacy and improve data quality in clustering data, a privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication was proposed without trusted third parties based on the shuffled differential privacy model.K-Modes clustering data collection algorithm was used to sample the user data and add noise, and then the initial order of the sampled data was disturbed by filling in the value domain random arrangement publishing algorithm.The malicious attacker couldn’t identify the target user according to the relationship between the user and the data, and then to reduce the interference of noise as much as possible a new centroid was calculated by cyclic iteration to complete the clustering.Finally, the privacy, feasibility and complexity of the above three methods were analyzed from the theoretical level, and the accuracy and entropy of the three real data sets were compared with the authoritative similar algorithms KM, DPLM and LDPKM in recent years to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.The experimental results show that the privacy protection and data quality of the proposed method are superior to the current similar algorithms.…”

Opportunistic routing algorithm based on trust model for ad hoc network by Bo WANG, Xun-xun CHEN

“…Due to the absence of enough physical protection,dynamic topology,distributed collaboration,the limited bandwidth and computing ability in ad hoc network,traditional routing security mechanism cannot adapt to the design of routing protocols.Recently,opportunistic routing is of the research hotspots,which can cope with the unreliable transmissions to improve throughput of the whole network by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and spatial diversity of multi-hop wireless network.The concept of trust-based similarity in opportunistic routing for ad hoc network was incorporated,and a novel trusted opportunistic forwarding model based on trust degree of node and least cost of opportunistic routing were also built.Then a trusted minimum cost routing algorithm (MCOR) was proposed and the correctness and effectiveness of this algorithm from theoretical ana ysis were proved.Finally,MCOR algorithm was verified by simulation and was compared with the classic protocols:ExOR,TAODV and Watchdog-DSR.The simulation results show that MCOR scheme can detect and mitigate node misbehaviors.Furthermore,MCOR scheme outperforms the other protocols in terms of throughput,delay,expected ETX and cost of routing.…”

Cathodic tandem alkylation/dearomatization of heterocycles enabled by Al-facilitated carbonyl deoxygenation by Jinhui Hu, Weijie Deng, Jianfeng Zhou, Yubing Huang

“…Our approach can be executed via two distinct paths: the aluminum (Al)-facilitated spin-center shift (SCS) path and the Al-facilitated direct deoxygenation path. Both paths are theoretically substantiated by DFT calculations. The crux of this protocol is the in-situ activation of the alcohol intermediates by Al salts, which substantially lowers the activation energy necessary for the formation of key transition states, thereby effectively facilitating the deoxygenation process. …”
