Statistical Assessment of Discrimination Capabilities of a Fractional Calculus Based Image Watermarking System for Gaussian Watermarks.

In this paper, we explore the advantages of a fractional calculus based watermarking system for detecting Gaussian watermarks. To reach this goal, we selected a typical watermarking scheme and replaced the detection equation set by another set of equations derived from fractional calculus principles; then, we carried out a statistical assessment of the performance of both schemes by analyzing the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the False Positive Percentage (FPP) when they are used to detect Gaussian watermarks. The results show that the ROC of a fractional equation based scheme has 48.

ECG Signal Denoising and Features Extraction Using Unbiased FIR Smoothing.

Methods of the electrocardiography (ECG) signal features extraction are required to detect heart abnormalities and different kinds of diseases. However, different artefacts and measurement noise often hinder providing accurate features extraction. One of the standard techniques developed for ECG signals employs linear prediction.

Direct application of Padé approximant for solving nonlinear differential equations.

Unlabelled: This work presents a direct procedure to apply Padé method to find approximate solutions for nonlinear differential equations. Moreover, we present some cases study showing the strength of the method to generate highly accurate rational approximate solutions compared to other semi-analytical methods. The type of tested nonlinear equations are: a highly nonlinear boundary value problem, a differential-algebraic oscillator problem, and an asymptotic problem.
