Location privacy protection in VANETs considers preserving two types of information: the locations and identifications of users. However, existing solutions which either replace identifications by pseudonyms or hide locations in areas cannot be directly applied to geographic routing protocols since they degrade network performance. To address this issue, we proposed a location-preserved content...

This paper proposes a wavelet-tree-based watermarking method using distance vector of binary cluster for copyright protection. In the proposed method, wavelet trees are classified into two clusters using the distance vector to denote binary watermark bits. The two smallest wavelet coefficients in a wavelet tree are used to reduce distortion of a watermarked image. The distance vector, which is ...

This paper presents the design, simulation and implementation of an adaptive mho distance relay to compensate during a phase-to-phase fault with fault resistance using the KU method. The phaseto-phase fault with fault resistance occasionally produces a trajectory of impedance outside the zone of the distance relay protection. Therefore, in this case, the distance relay will not send the trip co...

We analyze the effects of European Antidumping (AD) protection on Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth of import-competing domestic firms. We identified a panel of 1,793 European firms between 1993 and 2000 affected by AD cases that were initiated in 1996. Using a difference-indifference approach, we find evidence of increased TFP growth for those firms that filed for protection compared to f...
