In this paper, statistical analysis of watermarking schemes based on correlation detection is presented. Statistical properties of watermark sequences generated by piecewise-linear Markov maps are exploited, resulting in superior watermark detection reliability. Correlation/spectral properties of such sequences are easily controllable, a fact that affects the watermarking system performance. A ...

A tournament is unimodular if the determinant of its skew-adjacency matrix $1$. In this paper, we give some properties and constructions tournaments. $T$ with $S$ invertible $S^{-1}$ a tournament. spectral characterization tournaments given. Lastly, show that every $n$-tournament can be embedded in by adding at most $n - \lfloor\log_2(n)\rfloor$ vertices.

In this paper we compare different ways of representing the photometric changes in image intensities caused by changes in illumination and viewpoint, aiming at a balance between goodness-of-fit and low complexity. We derive invariant features based on generalized color moment invariants – that can deal with geometric and photometric changes of a planar pattern – corresponding to the chosen phot...

A nonclassical skew-selfadjoint system of two linear differential equations is considered, which depends rationally on the spectral parameter. Systems of this type are related to the sine-Gordon equation. We introduce the notion of Wp-functions (Weyl functions) which are defined in a neighborhood of the poles. The main results are theorems on the existence and uniqueness of the Weyl functions, ...

We report on spectral intensity and group delay measurements of the highest-occupied molecular-orbital (HOMO) recombination dipole moment of N_{2} in the molecular-frame using high harmonic spectroscopy. We take advantage of the long-wavelength 1.3  μm driving laser to isolate the HOMO in the near threshold region, 19-67 eV. The precision of our group delay measurements reveals previously unsee...

The phonon Hall effect has been observed in the paramagnetic insulator Tb3Gd5O12. A magnetic field applied perpendicularly to a heat current induces a temperature gradient that is perpendicular to both the field and the current. We show that this effect is due to resonant skew scattering of phonons from the crystal field states of superstoichiometric Tb(3+) ions. This scattering originates from...

Two objectives dominate consideration of control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) for spacecraft maneuvers: High torque (equivalently momentum) and singularity-free operations. This paper adds to the significant body of research towards these two goals utilizing a minimal 3-CMG array to provide 646% singularity-free momentum performance increase spherically, compared to the ubiquitous pyramid arrangeme...

In this paper, theoretical performance analysis of watermarking schemes based on correlation detection is undertaken, leading to a number of important observations on the watermarking system detection performance. Statistical properties of watermark sequences generated by piecewise-linear Markov maps are investigated. Correlation/spectral properties of such sequences are easily controllable, a ...

In this paper, the effect of skew angle on reinforced concrete bridge decks is presented by using grillage analogy. The actual deck system represented an equivalent longitudinal and transverse beams.
