Image hashing is a potential solution for image content authentication (a desired image hashing algorithm should be robust to common image processing operations and various geometric distortions). In the literature, researchers pay more attention to block-based image hashing algorithms due to their robustness to common image processing operations (such as lossy compression, low-pass filtering, ...

In this paper we present a polynomial time algorithm for finding the shortest sequence of rotations that converts one binary tree into another when both binary trees are of a restricted form. The initial tree must be a degenerate tree, where every node has exactly one child, and the destination binary tree must also be degenerate, of a more restricted nature. Previous work on rotation distance ...

Stable crystalline phosphorus ylides are obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reactionbetween hydantoins or thiohydantoins and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence oftriphenylphosphine. These phosphoranes undergo smooth intramolecular Wittig reaction followedby an electrocyclic ring opening to produce dialkyl (E)-2-(2,5-dihydro-5,5-diaryl-2-thioxo-1H-imidazol-4-yl)fum...

the conformation of alinidine a new and specific bradycardic agent was studied using mndo method. it has been found that the rotation of both phenyl and imidazoline ring of this compound is restricted. of two possible isomers of irnidazoline ring, the one with nh in the cis position to allyl side chain is slightly more stable. on the other hand, the allyl group can rotate freely and at least si...

The synthesis and characterisation of axially chiral atropisomeric 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles is reported. Molecules designed to display restricted rotation about 1,2,3-triazole N-1-aryl or C-5-aryl bonds were investigated by physical computational techniques. barrier was found be higher than that for rotation, confirming axial chirality stemming from an bond in a the most suitable devel...

Methylation of the peptide bond in model azadipeptides leads to the E configuration and hence to atropisomerism due to a restricted rotation around the N-N axis.
