Bonding Durability Evaluation of Polymer-Modified Emulsified Asphalt Microsurfacing by Hao Fu, Qian Chen, Xiaolong Sun, Wenwu Zhang, Shanshan Wang

“…Taking the wear resistance and pull-off properties after aging treatment and the change rate of various properties before and after treatment as evaluation indexes, the bonding durability of the microsurfacing was comprehensively evaluated by the ideal point method of entropy weight. The results show that the water damage resistance, abrasion resistance, and deformation resistance of the microsurfacing have a high correlation with the mechanical strength and adhesion performance of the modified emulsified asphalt binder. …”

JPEG reversible data hiding method based on optimal DCT frequency embedding by Ziyang ZHOU, Yun TAN, Jiaohua QIN, Xuyu XIANG

“…Joint photographic experts group (JPEG) images are widely used on the Internet due to their ability to maintain good picture quality while requiring less storage space.Reversible data hiding (RDH) techniques for JPEG images enable the hiding and extraction of secret information while allowing for lossless restoration of the original image.RDH is of great significance in file management and image authentication.However, many existing RDH methods result in a significant increase in the storage space of the encoded image after embedding secret information.For methods based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient embedding, the key issue that affects the performance of reversible information hiding in JPEG images is how to select the frequency band position.A reversible information hiding method for JPEG images was proposed, based on optimal DCT frequency embedding.The entropy decoded JPEG image was divided into 8×8 non-overlapping DCT blocks.The average texture complexity of each DCT block was calculated and ordered in ascending order.Then the alternating current (AC) in adjacent DCT blocks was paired pairwise.By satisfying the capacity of the information to be embedded, the optimal AC coefficient frequency position set was obtained from the distortion cost function of the AC coefficient frequency.The secret information was embedded according to the designed two-dimensional histogram mapping strategy.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the expansion of the loaded image file’s storage size compared to existing methods, while maintaining good visual quality of the cover image.…”
