We study the watermarking of 2D vector data and introduce a framework which preserves topological properties of the input. Our framework is based on so-called maximum perturbation regions (MPR) of the input vertices, which is a concept similar to the just-noticeable-difference constraint. The MPRs are computed by means of the Voronoi diagram of the input and allow us to avoid (self-)intersectio...

From the University Presses -- Is "Functional" Use "Transformative" and Hence "Fair"? A Copyright Conundrum

Use of existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments and their modification: the ISPOR Good Research Practices for Evaluating and Documenting Content Validity for the Use of Existing Instruments and Their Modification PRO Task Force Report.

BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments are used to evaluate the effect of medical products on how patients feel or function. This article presents the results of an ISPOR task force convened to address good clinical research practices for the use of existing or modified PRO instruments to support medical product labeling claims. The focus of the article is on content validity, wi...

User Interactions and Permission Use on Android

Android and other mobile operating systems ask users for au­ thorization before allowing apps to access sensitive resources such as contacts and location. We hypothesize that such au­ thorization systems could be improved by becoming more integrated with the app’s user interface. In this paper, we conduct two studies to test our hypothesis. First, we use AppTracer, a dynamic analysis tool we de...
