Their results show improvement in the watermarking robustness and imperceptibility.
This method achieves robustness against some signal processing like MP3 compression and additive noise, and if the watermarked audio remains intact, the host audio can be recovered perfectly.
Due to the complexity of underwater environment, the motion stability is affected by more system parameters, which are coupled and constrained with each other, increasing the complexity of the model, so it always leads to unexpected motion; the system dynamics presents challenges to stabilization and the motion robustness of the body.
In this paper, robustness probability estimation method is proposed and verified for the commonly used first-order and second-order predictor.
Thus, the phenomenon of robustness that we are examining is the insensitivity of the gene expression level, our phenotype, to genetic variation.
These three components--knowledge, goals, and uncertainties are combined in assessing the robustness of any proposed strategy.
There is a tradeoff between robustness and capacity of the watermark.
Because supply chains are increasingly complex (Blackhurst, Craighead, Elkins & Handfield, 2005), we argue that visibility will see maximum returns to resilience and robustness when supply bases are complex.
Summary: Oman LNG's early repayment of its $2bn loan demonstrates the company's financial robustness and the growing confidence in the oil and gas industry and Omani economy at large, says HE Dr Mohammed Al Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas and chairman of Oman LNG
In a statement to Oman News Agency, H E Dr Mohammed bin Hamad al Rumhi, Minister of Oil and Gas and chairman of Oman LNG, said, 'The early repayment of the loan by Oman LNG demonstrates the financial robustness of the company and confidence in the oil and gas industry and Omani economy at large.
Such a historic step is well received by the Omani economy as it offers a positive outlook, while supporting the government's efforts in enhancing the investment environment in the country as proactive debt payback by firms in the country indicates financial robustness that they have.
