With the rapid growth of the Internet and multimedia systems in distributed environments, it is easier for digital data owners to transfer multimedia documents across the Internet. Therefore, there is an increase in concern over copyright protection of digital contents [Piva et al (2002); Lu et al (2001); Lu et al (2000); Lee and Jung (2001)]. Traditionally, encryption and control access techni...

Inductive reasoning is one of the most important higher level cognitive functions of the human brain. The premises in inductive reasoning are usually based on facts or observations, and constitute reasons for accepting the conclusion. Inductive reasoning is an open-ended process, that is to say, the conclusion induced from correct premises may be incorrect/ implausible. Inductive reasoning unde...

In this paper, the authors investigate the anti-synchronization of chaotic Pan, Lorenz, and Lu systems and anti-synchronization of Liu and Cai systems. Global exponential synchronization of Pan, Lorenz, Lu, Liu, and Cai chaotic systems are established by using Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization schemes f...

Ceramic laser media fabricated by vacuum sintering (Ikesue et al., 1995), (Ikesue et al., 1996), and nanocrystalline (Lu et al., 2000) technology are very attractive materials because they have several remarkable advantages compared with single crystal laser materials. Ceramic samples with a large size can be easily fabricated, whereas this is extremely difficult for single crystals; multiplaye...
