The modified histogram shifting method proposed by Hong et. al.(2010) is best method of reversible watermarking[16]. The shifting of pixels are more in Hong et. al.(2010) method. Even Hong et. al.(2010) method of modified histogram shifting has less embedding capacity and do not provide enough quality for general purpose image. Our forward modified histogram shifting method overcomes all these ...

In Gradient Echo (GE) images, susceptibility artifact induces both intravoxel dephasing and pixel shifting (Fig. 2-a) leading to intensity and geometric distortions [1] that may disturb image analysis. In previous works, correction of GE images is assessed by modifying acquisition parameters or by using specific sequences [2]. All the proposed techniques always constrain the acquisition process...

Digital watermark is a technique used to protect the ownership of images and their associated software. A useful watermark scheme should be visually imperceptible and must be robust to resist various attacks: such as JPEG compression, pixel-shifting, cropping, blurring, etc. In this paper, we propose a public watermarking system to protect image processing software and images. We embed a binary...

The authors conducted a review of classical and conflicting theories of accommodation and presbyopia. They make a critical comparison with the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that have been developed in recent decades. Based on these studies, formulates a new approach on the subject, shifting the focus of the discussion of the lens to the posterior pole of the eye.

A network of prefrontal and parietal regions has been implicated in executive control processes. However, the extent to which individual regions within this network are engaged in component control processes, such as inhibition of task-irrelevant stimulus attributes or shifting (switching) between attentional foci, remains controversial. Participants (N=17) underwent functional magnetic resonan...

A vehicular driveline is the system used to transfer engine torque to the wheels. Resonances in the elastic parts of the driveline are important to handle when control of the engine and the transmission is optimized. Gear shifting by engine control is a new approach for automatic gear shifting with disengaging the clutch replaced by engine control. Resonances are excited in an uncontrolled driv...

This work presents a novel robust wavelet-tree-based watermarking method based on structure-based quantization. Wavelet-trees are arranged into super-trees. The watermark bits are then embedded into the super-trees by using the proposed structure-based quantization method. Next, the super-trees are quantized into a significant structure according to these bits. The quantized super-tree has a st...

Personal pronouns, such as 'I' and 'you', require a speaker/listener to continuously re-map their reciprocal relation to their referent, depending on who is saying the pronoun. This process, called 'deictic shifting', may underlie the incorrect production of these pronouns, or 'pronoun reversals', such as referring to oneself with the pronoun 'you', which has been reported in children with auti...
