A novel adaptive steganographic scheme for spatial image is proposed. A noisy function is used to measure texture complexity of 2 × 2 pixel blocks, which keeps monotonic increasing after ±1 modifications. Therefore, the message is embedded into the noisiest areas and the recipient can identify the embedding region. The ‘double-layered embedding’ is exploited to reduce the number of ±1 modificat...

We assessed the abilities of 100 children (ages 3-16 years) and 20 adults to resist interference during the processing of 2 auditory dimensions of speech, namely the speaker's gender and spatial location. The degree of ...
