High capacity reversible hiding in encrypted domain based on cipher-feedback secret sharing by Minqing ZHANG, Chao JIANG, Fuqiang DI, Zongbao JIANG, Xiong ZHANG

“…To improve the security, robustness and embedding rate of reversible hiding in encrypted domain in the distributed environment, a multiple embedding algorithm based on cipher-feedback secret sharing was proposed.Firstly, the additional data were embedded into the polynomial coefficients redundancy generated in the process of secret image sharing.Secondly, the extra secrets were embedded by using the additive homomorphism of secret sharing.Experimental results demonstrate that a better security and robustness has been obtained by improving the diffusion characteristic of secret sharing using the feedback mechanism.In the (3,4) and (3,5) threshold, the embedding rates can reach 6.00 bit per pixel and 4.80 bit per pixel respectively.The proposed algorithm can not only maintain the strong security and separability, but also obtain a better embedding capacity.Meanwhile, the embedding rate of the scheme is not affected by the carrier image and is only related to the selection of algorithm parameters.…”

Spatial structure supports diversity in prebiotic autocatalytic chemical ecosystems by Alex M. Plum, Christopher P. Kempes, Zhen Peng, David A. Baum

“…We extend this ecological framework to investigate the effects of surface adsorption, desorption, and diffusion on ACE ecology. Simulating ACEs as particle-based stochastic reaction-diffusion systems in spatial environments—including open, two-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems and adsorptive mineral surfaces—we demonstrate that spatial structure can enhance ACE diversity by (i) permitting otherwise mutually exclusive ACs to coexist and (ii) subjecting new AC traits to selection.…”

A permeated hydrogen monitoring method based on poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline) hydrogenochromic films by Tian Yuan, Wen Shaomu, Yan Jing, Xu Lei, Wang Yongbo

“…In other words, a greater concentration gradient prompted more hydrogen atoms to enter the interior of the substrate, thereby increasing the hydrogen flux and accelerating the hydrogen diffusion rate. These insights provide a refined approach to hydrogen detection, and the advancement is crucial for safeguarding infrastructure, particularly pipelines, against the substantial risks of hydrogen-induced damage.…”
