The principal challenge in hardcopy data hiding is achieving robustness to the print-scan process. Conventional robust hiding schemes are not well-suited because they do not adapt to the print-scan distortion channel, and hence are fundamentally limited in a detection theoretic sense. We consider data embedding in images printed with clustered dot halftones. The input to the print-scan channel ...

Accurate spatial distribution information of rainfall is essential to rainfall-induced hazard predictions and statistical interpolation methods may serve as a useful tool produce detailed from coarse data sources. Although numerous comparison studies about different have been conducted on irregular rain-gauge networks, there need perform such work the increasingly available gridded data. Carrie...

The recent work by Poulard et al. (2020) offers a novel, non-invasive technique to assess diaphragm contractility, which has long been target of respiratory physiologists, and the importance this topic could not be over-emphasized during current pandemic. In addition discomfort balloon's placement, magnetic stimulation phrenic nerves is also pleasant, avenues such as ultrasound-based techniques...

Quinizarin is a well-suited molecule for obtaining strongly colored materials by atomic layer deposition.
