In this thesis I explore the nature and properties of scrambling in Korean. Contrary to the widely accepted view that scrambling is truly optional, I propose that scrambling is a consequence of case-driven obligatory movement, a proposal consistent with the "last resort" condition on movement in [Chomsky 1991] and [Chomsky 1992]. I assume that scrambling is adjunction and defend this view in Ch...

In this paper we present a system for preserving the privacy of individuals in video sequences by obfuscation of facial appearance, so as to render recorded people unrecognizable. Therefore we address the following two problems: automatic face detection and scrambling of face region. A multi-resolution access control scheme is used in order to decrease the visual quality of regions containing f...

This paper proposes a novel pixel-based scrambling scheme to protect, in an efficient and secure way, the distribution of digital medical images. To provide an efficient encryption of a large volume of digital medical images, the proposed system uses simple pixel level XOR operation for image scrambling in an innovative way such that structural parameters of the encryption scheme have become a ...

Drift error is a critical issue in video scrambling which is widely used to protect privacy in surveillance video. However, how to improve video coding efficiency while preventing drift error in video scrambling has not been covered in most studies. Proposed is a prediction restricted scheme for H.264/AVC privacy protected video scrambling. Experiments show that the proposed scheme dramatically...

In modern telecommunications, it is often desirable to scramble the contents of the information. This paper presents a particularly e±cient method of analogue signal scrambling. A stationary process is subjected to scrambling by means of a linear periodic time-varying ̄lter. We observe then a cyclostationary process. We demonstrate that perfect reconstruction is possible. In presence of overlapp...

Packet loss-resilient and security are two major challenges faced by real-time audio transmission over IP networks. Due to the capability of recovering signal from a small set samplings randomness in acquisition process, compressive sensing (CS) has vast prospect dealing with these problems. In this paper, we propose secure packet loss-resistant framework (CS-SPT) based on principle CS. Inspire...

Scrambling transformation plays an important role in information hiding application, so offering an effective evaluation method for scrambling algorithms is becoming increasingly necessary. The paper firstly analyzed the Arnold transformation process to get some universal rules about the periodicity of scrambling process, then used the improved Intersecting Cortical Model Neural Network (ICMNN)...

This article addresses the problem that the expressive power of tree-adjoining grammars (TAGs) is too limited to deal with certain syntactic phenomena, in particular, with scrambling in freeword-order languages. The TAG variants proposed so far in order to account for scrambling are not entirely satisfying. Therefore, the article introduces an alternative extension of TAG that is based on the n...

According to the research of LSB steganalysis, LSB steganography could destroy the distribution of 0 and 1 in the lowest bit planes, and this situation will cause the abnormality of histogram and asymmetry statistical, thereby left an opportunity that could be exploited to the steganalysis. From the view of steganalysis, this paper compared the two typical kinds of image scrambling methods whic...

1 Abstract In this paper we present a GB-parsing system for German and in particular its strategy for argument interpretation, which copes with the diiculty that word order is relatively free in German (due to scrambling) and also that the arguments can precede their predicate. In this case, the parser makes a provisional interpretation, which is checked when the argument structure of the predi...
