Watermarking is an effective technology that solves many problems within a digitization project. A high capacity data entrenching scheme based on precise and fast framework for the computation of Zernike moments (ZMs) is proposed in this paper. The high capacity is achieved by maximizing data entrenching size and improving the hiding ratio after dipping the inaccuracies in the computation of ZM...

We consider the effect on the transport capacity of wireless networks of different physical layer coding mechanisms. We compare the performance of traditional channel coding techniques, turning the wireless network in reliable point-to-point channels, with multi-access computation coding, in which nodes receive functions of messages transmitted by different neighbours. In both cases, network co...

We show that, given a non-degenerate, finitely connected domain D, its boundary, and the number of its boundary components, it is possible to compute a conformal mapping of D onto a circular domain without prior knowledge of the circular domain. We do so by computing a suitable bound on the error in the Koebe construction (but, again, without knowing the circular domain in advance). Recent resu...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>So far, the optimal investment timing to maximize total profit of multi-stage capacity expansion infrastructure projects is not clear. In case uncertain demands, multiple stopping time theory adopted model decision-making for in a finite horizon. this context, first-stage project involves dedicated asset later expansion, and at each stage constrained, which ma...

Modern switches have packet processing capacity of up to multi-tera bits per second, and they are also becoming more and more programmable. We seek to understand whether the programmability can translate packet processing capacity to computational power for parallel computing applications. In this paper, we first develop a simple mathematical model to understand the costs and overheads of data ...

the aim of this paper is to present an efficient method for a rail freight car fleet sizing problem. this problem is modeled mathematically as a multi-period, dynamic and multi-objective, in which the rail freight wagons are assumed to be heterogeneous. demands for different wagons and all travel times are assumed deterministic. in order to increase the utilization of the available wagons in th...

In humanitarian relief operations (HRO), due to the excessive number of relief organizations, multiple organizational coordination is a demanding and complicated task. Considering such a problem, this paper proposes a two-phase mechanism to coordinate multiple heterogeneous relief organizations in a decentralized HRO logistics network. To address such a problem, first a bi-level mixed integer l...
