Blind video watermarking algorithm based on correlations between neighboring frames by GAO Qi, LI Ren-hou, LIU Lian-shan

“…A blind video watermarking method was proposed,in which the watermark composed of symbol part and in-formation part was embedded into the original video frames.After some video frames hiding the watermark were selected randomly from one segment of the video sequences,the symbol water mark was embedded into low frequency discrete cosine transform（DCT） coefficients of fixed blocks of such frames,whereas the information water mark was embedded into direct current coefficients of some other blocks selected by a cryptographic key.Repeat embedding till the whole video was watermarked.To extract the information watermark,the frames holding watermark were found out by detect-ing water the symbol mark rapidly from one video segment whose length was long enough to hold the whole watermark.Then,by using the high correlations between the watermarked frame and its neighboring frames,the pixel values of the blocks where the watermark was embedded can be well estimated.Comparing the estimated values with the current val-ues in the corresponding positions,the information watermark could be reconstructed.Experimental results show that this video watermarking method is robust against attacks such as compression,scaling,frame dropping,etc.…”

Value of aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase Ratio in predicting coronary thrombus burden in ST elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutan... by Mohamed Aboelhassan, Mohamed A.-K.F. Abdelmegid, Sawsan M. Moeen, Salma M. Hassan, Ishraq H. AbdEl-Hameed, Khaled M.A. Shehata

“…Background and aim The liver is extremely responsive to circulatory hemodynamics as a result of its intricate network of blood arteries. Elevated blood transaminase levels are frequently detected in individuals with myocardial infarction, this study is to determine the predictive value of the aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio and different clinical parameters in assessing the severity of coronary thrombus burden in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary PCI. …”

Metagenomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Crosstalk Between Intratumor Mycobiome and Hosts in Early‐Stage Nonsmoking Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients by Yaohui Sun, Zhiming Gan, Shijiancong Liu, Sheng Zhang, Wei Zhong, Jian Liu, Xiuting Huang, Wei He, Hongcheng Zhong, Qingdong Cao

“…Methods In this study, we conducted ultra‐deep metagenomic and transcriptomic sequencing on 128 samples collected from 46 nonsmoking ES‐LUAD patients and 41 healthy controls (HC), aiming to characterize the tumor‐resident mycobiome and its interactions with the host. Results The results revealed that ES‐LUAD patients exhibited fungal dysbiosis characterized by reduced species diversity and significant imbalances in specific fungal abundances. …”

Stackelberg games-based distributed algorithm of pricing and resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks by Yong JIANG, Shan-zhi CHEN, Bo HU

“…To deal with resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks,an algorithm based on multi-leader multi-follower Stackelberg games model was proposed to satisfy optimal utility of both operators and mobile users.The mobile user’s utility function with payoff and cost was designed,and it was demonstrated that the utility function obey concave function condition after defining operator price strategy,which assured the existence of Nash equilibrium point.A distributed iterative algorithm was presented to obtain optimal strategies of mobile user’s bandwidth allocation and operator’s pricing.At last,simulation experiments acquire player’s optimal strategies and Subgame perfect Nash equilibrium.…”

Research on(t,k)-diagnosability for exchanged hypercube network by Xi XIONG, Jia-rong LIANG, Qiang MA

“…Fault diagnosis was an important part in the processing of network system repair.PMC was a diagnosis model which was simple and easy to be understood.Through analysis of the structure of exchanged hypercube,a generalization measure of fault diagnosis for the network system was provided,called (t,k)-fault diagnosis method.By computing,it is shown that EH(s,p) is <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mo>( </mo> <mrow> <msup> <mn>2 </mn> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <mi>s </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mi>p </mi> <mo>− </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> <mn>2 </mn> </mfrac> </mrow> </msup> <mo>,</mo> <mi>s </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> <mo>) </mo> </mrow> </math>-diagnosable and conditional <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mo>( </mo> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <msup> <mn>2 </mn> <mrow> <mi>s </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mi>p </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> </msup> <mo>− </mo> <mn>2 </mn> <mi>s </mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mi>p </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> </mfrac> <mo>,</mo> <mn>2 </mn> <mi>s </mi> </mrow> <mo>) </mo> </mrow> </math> -diagnosable,where 1≤s≤p.The result shows that the(t,k)-diagnosability of EH(s,p) is <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msup> <mn>2 </mn> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <mi>s </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mi>p </mi> <mo>− </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> <mn>2 </mn> </mfrac> </mrow> </msup> </math> ,which is bigger than its ordinary diagnosability s+1,and the conditional (t,k)-diagnosability is <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <msup> <mn>2 </mn> <mrow> <mi>s </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mi>p </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> </msup> <mo>− </mo> <mn>2 </mn> <mi>s </mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mi>p </mi> <mo>+ </mo> <mn>1 </mn> </mrow> </mfrac> </mrow> </math>,which is bigger than its ordinary conditional diagnosability 4s-3.Above results present the important theory basis for fault diagnosis of exchanged hypercube network.…”
