Watermarking schemes evaluation
Abstract鈥擠igital watermarking has been presented as a solution to copy protection of multimedia objects and dozens of schemes and algorithms have been proposed. Two main PRoblems seriously darken the future of this technology though.
Firstly, the large number of attacks and weaknesses which appear as fast as new algorithms are proposed, emphasizes the limits of this technology and in particu-lar the fact that it may not match users expectations.
Secondly, the requirements, tools and methodologies to assess the current technologies are almost non-existent. The lack of benchmarking of current algorithms is bla-tant. This confuses rights holders as well as software and hardware manufacturers and prevents them from using the solution appropriate to their needs. Indeed basing long-lived protection schemes on badly tested watermarking technology does not make sense.
The 2D CFD Program NaSt2D
The program is a 2D solver for the incompressible, transient Navier-Stokes equations including the temperature equation and free boundary PRoblems. It uses finite differences for discretization on a structured equidistant staggered grid, central and upwind (donor-cell) discretization of the convective parts and an explicit time stepping scheme. The free boundary value PRoblems are treated with the MAC technique.
The model is Goal Programming and Serial Correlation with fuzzy concept.
This model can be used to solve some finance and economic PRoblems.
The result can find the best and worse solution.
Discussing embedded systems in general is difficult, because each embedded system is unique. Rather than presenting a list of general principles for handling embedded development issues, this book presents examples of PRoblems encountered and solutions to those PRoblems using real hardware and software. In that sense, it is a “cookbook” for developers that offers design “recipes” that can be elaborated on or modified as needed to solve other design PRoblems.
Exceptional C++ shows by example how to go about solid software engineering. Along with a lot of other material, this book includes expanded versions of the first 30 issues of the popular Internet C++ feature Guru of the Week (or, in its short form, GotW), a series of self-contained C++ engineering PRoblems and solutions that illustrate specific design and coding techniques.
the book provides many solved examples that illustrate the principles involved,
and includes, in addition, two chapters that deal exclusively with applications of
unconstrained and constrained optimization methods to PRoblems in the areas of
pattern recognition, control systems, robotics, communication systems, and the
design of digital filters. For each application, enough background information
is provided to promote the understanding of the optimization algorithms used
to obtain the desired solutions.
The book consists of three sections. The first, foundations, provides a tutorial overview of the principles underlying data mining algorithms and their application. The presentation emphasizes intuition rather than rigor. The second section, data mining algorithms, shows how algorithms are constructed to solve specific PRoblems in a principled manner. The algorithms covered include trees and rules for classification and regression, association rules, belief networks, classical statistical models, nonlinear models such as neural networks, and local memory-based models. The third section shows how all of the preceding analysis fits together when applied to real-world data mining PRoblems. Topics include the role of metadata, how to handle missing data, and data preprocessing.

MATSNL is a package of MATLAB M-files for computing wireless sensor node lifetime/power budget and solving optimal node architecture choice PRoblems. It is intended as an analysis and simulation tool for researchers and educators that are easy to use and modify. MATSNL is designed to give the rough power/ lifetime predictions based on node and application specifications while giving useful insight on platform design for the large node lifetime by providing side-by-side comparison across various platforms. The MATSNL code and manual can be found at the bottom of this page. A related list of publications describing the models used in MATSNL is posted on the ENALAB part of the 2 project at http://www.eng.yale.edu/enalab/aspire.htm
Some time during my development works I had the need of printing the contents of a ListView control. So I wrote down the code for a custom control, named PrintableListView, that solved the following two PRoblems:
* extend the print on multiple pages when the width of the list exceeds the width of the print page,
* shrink, optionally, the list in a way that the resulting width fits o
