A novel audio watermarking scheme using multiscale wavelet modulation

A novel audio watermarking scheme to embed robust and inaudible watermarks for the purpose of copyright protection is proposed. The key innovation is to add time-frequency redundancy into watermark signals by multiscale wavelet modulation. In order to maximize the watermarking strength within perceptual constraints, the signals synthesized from different scales are masked using a frequency auditory model, respectively, and then intergrated to form the final watermark signal. The detection structure is built using the redundancy in watermark signals, and the performance is further enhanced by modeling the statistical behaviors of wavelet coefficients as generalized Gaussian distribution. The use of original audio signal is not required in watermark detection. The experimental results show that our approach can achieve not only good transparency but also satisfying robustness to common audio manipulations.

自然科学取向意识研究的贡献与困境

自然科学界近年来掀起了一场前所未有的研究意识问题的"文艺复兴"运动.物理学、生物学、人工智能等科学范式的约束与启发,使当前意识科学研究的重点内容及问题类型发生了许多显著的变化,呈现出了对意识解释的不同水平、层次与性质.蓬勃发展中的意识科学研究也面临着不少困境,需要进一步确立适合于意识研究的新的科学现,提高自然科学与人文科学这两大基本向度的整合水平,加强对关键性的基础问题研究的理论力度.     

基于CVM的建筑废弃物回收利用非市场价值评估

本研究以建筑废弃物为研究对象,通过问卷形式调查绵阳市居民对建筑废弃物回收利用非市场价值的认知以及支付意愿,在此基础上采用条件价值法(contingent value method,CVM)对建筑废弃物回收利用的非市场价值进行核算和评估,并分析影响居民支付意愿的因素.结果显示:2015年绵阳建筑废弃物回收利用非市场价值为8.29亿元,占2015年绵阳市建筑业总产值的2.19%;城市,农村居民的平均支付意愿分别为584.88元/(户每年)和208.08元/(户每年),分别占家庭年平均收入的0.91%和0.55%.由此可知,建筑废弃物回收利用非市场价值巨大,但平均支付意愿在家庭年平均收入中所占比例较低,说明居民对建筑废弃物回收利用非市场价值支付意愿还很低.研究发现,居民对建筑废弃物价值的认知程度和政府对建筑废弃物回收利用经费的透明化管理是影响城乡居民支付意愿的主要因素.因此,加强建筑废弃物回收利用宣传教育和经费透明化管理,是提高居民支付意愿,改善建筑废弃物回收利用现状的有效手段.

Single-nucleotide evolution quantifies the importance of each site along the structure of mitochondrial carriers

Mitochondrial carriers are membrane-embedded proteins consisting of a tripartite structure, a three-fold pseudo-symmetry, related sequences, and similar folding whose main function is to catalyze the transport of various metabolites, nucleotides, and coenzymes across the inner mitochondrial membrane. In this study, the evolutionary rate in vertebrates was screened at each of the approximately 50,000 nucleotides corresponding to the amino acids of the 53 human mitochondrial carriers. Using this information as a starting point, a scoring system was developed to quantify the evolutionary pressure acting on each site of the common mitochondrial carrier structure and estimate its functional or structural relevance. The degree of evolutionary selection varied greatly among all sites, but it was highly similar among the three symmetric positions in the tripartite structure, known as symmetry-related sites or triplets, suggesting that each triplet constitutes an evolutionary unit. Based on evolutionary selection, 111 structural sites (37 triplets) were found to be important. These sites play a key role in structure/function of mitochondrial carriers and are involved in either conformational changes (sites of the gates, proline–glycine levels, and aromatic belts) or in binding and specificity of the transported substrates (sites of the substrate-binding area in between the two gates). Furthermore, the evolutionary pressure analysis revealed that the matrix short helix sites underwent different degrees of selection with high inter-paralog variability. Evidence is presented that these sites form a new sequence motif in a subset of mitochondrial carriers, including the ADP/ATP translocator, and play a regulatory function by interacting with ligands and/or proteins of the mitochondrial matrix.
