The enforcement of intellectual property rights is dif cult for digital data One possibility to support the enforcement is the embedding of digital watermarks containing information about copyright owner and or receiver of the data Watermarking methods have al ready been presented for audio images video and polygonal D models In this paper we present a method for digital watermarking of model a...

A. 2003. Comparison of krig-ing with external drift and regression-kriging. A generic framework for spatial prediction of soil variables based on regression-kriging. In further text, theory behind kriging with external drift and regression-kriging and differences between them are explained in more detail. We focus mainly on practical issues, i.e. how to derive predictions and prediction uncerta...

Blind sour e separation (BSS) de omposes a multidimensional time series into a set of sour es, ea h with a one-dimensional time ourse and a xed spatial distribution. For EEG and MEG, the former orresponds to the simultaneously separated and temporally overlapping signals for ontinuous non-averaged data; the latter orresponds to the set of attenuations from the sour es to the sensors. These sens...

In a simple prime-target auditory rhyming event-related potential (ERP) paradigm with adults and 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children, nonword stimuli (e.g., nin-rin, ked-voo) were used to investigate neurocognitive systems involved in rhyming and their development across the early school years. Even absent semantic content, the typical CNV to primes and late rhyming effect (RE) to targets were evid...

INTRODUCTION HisTORICAL REVIEW OF THE KNOWN RIcKETTSIAE MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE Criteria for Distinguishing Rickettsiae from Cell Granules, etc. OBSERVATIONS ON VARIOUs RICKETTSIAE Rickettsia medophagi in the Sheep-Ked, Melophagus ovinus Rickettsia in the Mosquito, Culex pipiens Rickettsia in the Sand-Fly, Culicoides sanguisuga Rickettsiae in Tabanidae Rickettsia lectularia in the Bedbug, Cimex...

The concentration of arsenic in tissues of tilapia was evaluated and an estimation of the risks associated with the consumption of this fish was done, taking into account the guidelines established by FAO/WHO. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique in kinetic energy discrimination (KED) mode was employed and certified reference materials were analyzed with recoverie...

During work on the control of human pediculosis Craufurd-Benson & Macleod found that body lice, which normally have a high resistance to derris, were rapidly killed when high-boiling tar acids were added to the insecticide. A similar effect was observed in experiments with the sheep ked, Melophagus ovinus, when mixtures of cresylic acid and diphenylamine were applied either as a dusting powder ...

This paper deals with the automated design and economic optimization of reinforced concrete frame bridges typically used in road construction. The optimization algorithms applied are (i) parallel genetic algorithms (PGA) and (ii) parallel memetic algorithms (PMA). The evaluation of solutions follows the Spanish Code for structural concrete. Stress resultants and envelopes of framed structures a...
