One of the effective methods for the preservation of copyright ownership of digital media is watermarking. Different watermarking techniques try to set a tradeoff between robustness and transparency of the process. In this research work, we have used
Missing traces in acquired seismic data is a common occurrence during the collection of seismic data. Deep neural network (DNN) has shown considerable promise in restoring incomplete seismic data. However, several DNN-based approaches ignore the spec
Achieving better exploitation and exploration capabilities (EEC) have always been an important yet challenging issue in the design of evolutionary optimization algorithm (EOA). The difficulties lie in obtaining a good balance in EEC, which is determi
The CamCAN Lifespan Neuroimaging Dataset, Cambridge (UK) Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience, was acquired and processed beginning in December, 2016. The referee consensus solver deployed to the Open Science Grid was used for this task. The dataset in
Could John Kerry have gained votes in the 2004 Presidential election by more clearly distinguishing himself from George Bush on economic policy? At first thought, the logic of political preferences would suggest not: the Republicans are to the right
For several semirings S, two weighted finite automata with multiplicities in S are equivalent if and only if they can be connected by a chain of simulations. Such a semiring S is called 'proper'. It is known that the Boolean semiring, the semiring of
We introduce solvable stochastic dealer models, which can reproduce basic empirical laws of financial markets such as the power law of price change. Starting from the simplest model that is almost equivalent to a Poisson random noise generator, the m
This research concerns a type of configuration optimization problems frequently encountered in engineering design and manufacturing, where the envelope volume in space occupied by a number of components needs to be minimized along with other objectiv
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Central and Eastern Europe were subject to strong polarisation processes. This article proposes examines two neglected aspects regarding the transition period: a comparative static assessment of foreign trade since
Reusable software components need expressive specifications. This paper outlines a rigorous foundation to model-based contracts, a method to equip classes with strong contracts that support accurate design, implementation, and formal verification of
Abridged : The various IBIS/ISGRI catalogues contain a large population of hard X-ray sources whose nature is still unknown. Even if the >20 keV positional uncertainty provided by ISGRI is unprecedented, it is still too large to pinpoint the counte
We present results on the Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) 0501+4516, discovered by the SWIFT Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on 2008 August 22. More than 50 bursts were identified from this source, out of which 18 bursts had enough counts to carry out spectral
We discuss the presence of symmetries in images engraved on ancient seals, in particular on stamp seals. Used to stamp decorations, to secure the containers from tampering and for owner's identification, we can find seals that can be dated from Neoli
The orthorhombic phase of Si-doped Fe carbide is synthesized at high pressures and temperatures using laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LHDAC), followed by its characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, Transmission Electron Microsco
Large language models (LLMs) demand significant memory and computation resources. Wafer-scale chips (WSCs) provide high computation power and die-to-die (D2D) bandwidth but face a unique trade-off between on-chip memory and compute resources due to l
We describe a geometrical property of helical structures and show how it accounts for the early art of ropemaking. Helices have a maximum number of rotations that can be added to them -- and it is shown that this is a geometrical feature, not a mater
Maximum likelihood estimation and a test of fit based on the Anderson-Darling statistic is presented for the case of the power law distribution when the parameters are estimated from a left-censored sample. Expressions for the maximum likelihood esti
We begin with the premise that the law of entropy could prove to be fundamental for the evolution of intelligent life and the advent of technological civilization. Building on recent theoretical results, we combine a modern approach to evolutionary t
![The Grid[Way] Job Template Manager, a tool for parameter sweeping](/images/papers/1003.1291/cover.png)
Parameter sweeping is a widely used algorithmic technique in computational science. It is specially suited for high-throughput computing since the jobs evaluating the parameter space are loosely coupled or independent. A tool that integrates the mo
Between 1996 July and 2002 April, one or more spacecraft of the interplanetary network detected 787 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were also detected by the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor and/or Wide-Field X-Ray Camera experiments aboard the BeppoSAX spacecra
In this paper, the famous Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations are firstly generalized, the new special types of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations with the positive fractional power terms (gKGZE) are presented. In order to derive the exact solutions of new
![The O I] 1641A line as a probe of symbiotic star winds](/images/papers/1004.2532/cover.png)
The neutral oxygen resonance 1302A line can, if the optical depth is sufficiently high, de-excite by an intercombination transition at 1641A to a metastable state. This has been noted in a number of previous studies but never systematically investiga
V1408 Aql (= 4U 1957+115) is a low-mass X-ray binary with an orbital period near 9.3 hr, whose compact star is a black hole candidate. The system shows a large-amplitude orbital photometric modulation at optical wavelengths. We have obtained new opti
Emotions play a central role in most forms of natural human interaction so we may expect that computational methods for the processing and expression of emotions will play a growing role in human-computer interaction. The OCC model has established it
The properties of a massive star prior to its final explosion are imprinted in the circumstellar medium (CSM) created by its wind and termination shock. We perform a detailed, comprehensive calculation of the time-variable and angle-dependent transmi
The article represents a new class of hidden symmetries in long sequences of oligonucleotides of single stranded DNA from their representative set. These symmetries are an addition to symmetries described by the second parity rule of Chargaff. These
We define and examine the shutdown problem for blockchain systems: how to gracefully end the system's operation at the end of its useful life. A particular focus is those blockchain systems that hold archival data of long-lived interest. We outline w
[Abridged] The analysis of a sample of 52 clusters with precise and hypothesis-parsimonious measurements of mass shows that low mass clusters and groups are not simple scaled-down versions of their massive cousins in terms of stellar content: lighter
The method of waveforms cross correlation (WCC) is used to detect signals from aftershocks of the August 14, 2016 earthquake within Sakhalin Island, which had local magnitude ML = 6.1. Arrivals of regular P- and S-waves detected by the WCC method wit
Research on mobile collocated interactions has been exploring situations where collocated users engage in collaborative activities using their personal mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets), thus going from personal/individual toward shared/
This article reviews some recent promising approaches to make mobile power closer to reality. In contrast with articles commonly published by the microwave community and the communication/signal processing community that separately emphasize RF, circ
Blockchain offers a decentralized, immutable, transparent system of records. It offers a peer-to-peer network of nodes with no centralised governing entity making it unhackable and therefore, more secure than the traditional paper-based or centralise
Given a nonlinear evolution equation in (1+n) dimensions, which has spatially extended traveling wave solutions, it can be extended into a system of two coupled equations, one of which generates the original traveling waves, and the other generates s
The social media craze is on an ever increasing spree, and people are connected with each other like never before, but these vast connections are visually unexplored. We propose a methodology Twigraph to explore the connections between persons using
