For any given host image or group of host images and any (block) transform domain of interest, we find the signature vector that when used for spread-spectrum (SS) message embedding maximizes the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the corresponding maximum-SINR linear filter. We establish that, under a (colored) Gaussian assumption on the transform domain host data, the same derived signature minimizes host distortion for any target message recovery error rate and maximizes the Shannon capacity of the covert steganographic link. Then, we derive jointly optimal signature and linear processor designs for SS embedding in linearly modified transform domain host data and demonstrate orders of magnitude improvement over current SS steganographic practices. Optimized multisignature/multimessage embedding in the same host data is studied as well.

Accurate segmentation of power line targets helps quickly locate faults, evaluate line conditions, and provides key image data support and analysis for the safe and stable operation of the power system.The aerial power line in segmentation due to the target is small, and the imaging reflected energy is weak, so the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aerial power line image is very susceptible to the interference of the environment line elements and noise, resulting in the detection of the power line target in the image of the defective, intermittent, straight line interferences and other low accuracy and real-time efficiency is not high. For this reason, this paper designs a pure amplitude stretching kernel function to form a Fourier amplitude vector field and uses this amplitude vector field to implement the stretching transformation of the amplitude field of the aerial power line image, so that the angular field after the Fourier inverse transformation can better react to the spatial domain line targets, and finally, after the Relative Total Variation (RTV) processing, the power line can be well detected.

The presence of background noise or competing talkers is one of the main communication challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in speech understanding in naturalistic spaces. These external factors distort the time-frequency (T-F) content including magnitude spectrum and phase of speech signals. While most existing speech enhancement (SE) solutions focus solely on enhancing the magnitude response, recent research highlights the importance of phase in perceptual speech quality.

As a result of the significant changes in businesses around the globe such as the generalization of remote working and digital transformation, the boundaries between work and private life tend to vanish, causing concerns about whether individuals' investment in their work could have detrimental effects on their life and health. In such context, the notion of heavy work investment, an umbrella construct that subsumes different forms of investment of the self into the work domain, warrants scholarly attention as it may have both a bright and dark side for individuals. The present study focuses on three forms of heavy work investment, i.

Intercalation has been considered as an effective method to explore innovative two-dimensional (2D) materials and modify their properties. However, the relationship between intercalation concentration, structure, and property remains a largely uncharted territory, and the controllable synthesis of desired intercalated phases faces challenges. Here, a general intercalated rule for the effect of self-intercalation ratio on atomic arrangements is revealed.
