Fabrication of Cu-doped iron oxyhydroxide for phosphate removal: A comprehensive spectroscopic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic approach

“…The solid sample was characterized using a surface area analyzer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), pHiep and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results reveal that the surface area of iron oxyhydroxide increases from 35.1 m2/g to 126 m2/g with Cu ion doping, which may be due to the difference in ionic radii of Fe+3 (0.645 Å) vs. …”

Acoustic scene classification using inter- and intra-subarray spatial features in distributed microphone array by Takao Kawamura, Yuma Kinoshita, Nobutaka Ono, Robin Scheibler

“…Under the assumption that multiple subarrays, each equipped with microphones, are synchronized, we investigate two types of spatial feature: intra- and inter-generalized cross-correlation phase transforms (GCC-PHATs). These are derived from channels within the same subarray and between different subarrays, respectively. …”

Reliable steganalysis of color images based on color gradient sequence by QI Ke1, ZHANG Da-fang1, XIE Dong-qing2

“…Based on the difference between the vibrations of color gradient orientation sequences and color gradient sum sequences of stego images and those of images without hiding message,a novel reliable steganalysis of color images was presented which major in the analysis of these two categories of color gradient sequences,which could distill the differ-ences of the vibrations of them.The Hilbert-Huang transform based characteristic vectors were constructed and the SVM classifier was used to classification.The experimental results have shown that the proposed method realizes the reliable steganalysis of color images with higher correct rate,shorter vectors and lower false positive rate comparing with tradi-tional color image steganalysis algorithms.…”
