Prediction-error of Prediction Error (PPE)-based Reversible Data Hiding
This paper presents a novel reversible data hiding (RDH) algorithm for
gray-scaled images, in which the prediction-error of prediction error (PPE) of
a pixel is used to carry the secret data. In the proposed method, the pixels to
be embedded are firstly predicted with their neighboring pixels to obtain the
corresponding prediction errors (PEs). Then, by exploiting the PEs of the
neighboring pixels, the prediction of the PEs of the pixels can be determined.
And, a sorting technique based on the local complexity of a pixel is used to
collect the PPEs to generate an ordered PPE sequence so that, smaller PPEs will
be processed first for data embedding. By reversibly shifting the PPE histogram
(PPEH) with optimized parameters, the pixels corresponding to the altered PPEH
bins can be finally modified to carry the secret data. Experimental results
have implied that the proposed method can benefit from the prediction procedure
of the PEs, sorting technique as well as parameters selection, and therefore
outperform some state-of-the-art works in terms of payload-distortion
performance when applied to different images.Comment: There has no technical difference to previous versions, but rather

Detecting monopole charge in Weyl semimetals via quantum interference transport
Topological Weyl semimetals can host Weyl nodes with monopole charges in
momentum space. How to detect the signature of the monopole charges in quantum
transport remains a challenging topic. Here, we reveal the connection between
the parity of monopole charge in topological semimetals and the quantum
interference corrections to the conductivity. We show that the parity of
monopole charge determines the sign of the quantum interference correction,
with odd and even parity yielding the weak anti-localization and weak
localization effects, respectively. This is attributed to the Berry phase
difference between time-reversed trajectories circulating the Fermi sphere that
encloses the monopole charges. From standard Feynman diagram calculations, we
further show that the weak-field magnetoconductivity at low temperatures is
proportional to in double-Weyl semimetals and in Weyl
semimetals, respectively, which could be verified experimentally.Comment: published versio
Better synchronizability predicted by a new coupling method
In this paper, inspired by the idea that the hub nodes of a highly
heterogeneous network are not only the bottlenecks, but also effective
controllers in the network synchronizing process, we bring forward an
asymmetrical coupling method where the coupling strength of each node depends
on its neighbors' degrees. Compared with the uniform coupled method and the
recently proposed Motter-Zhou-Kurth method, the synchronizability of scale-free
networks can be remarkably enhanced by using the present coupled method.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures; to be published in EPJ
Dynamical Computation on Coefficients of Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian from One-doublet and Topcolor-assisted Technicolor Models
Based on previous studies deriving the chiral Lagrangian for pseudo scalar
mesons from the first principle of QCD, we derive the electroweak chiral
Lagrangian and build up a formulation for computing its coefficients from
one-doublet technicolor model and a schematic topcolor-assisted technicolor
model. We find that the coefficients of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian for
the topcolor-assisted technicolor model are divided into three parts: direct
TC2 interaction part, TC1 and TC2 induced effective Z' particle contribution
part, and ordinary quarks contribution part. The first two parts are computed
in this paper and we show that the direct TC2 interaction part is the same as
that in the one-doublet technicolor model, while effective Z' contributions are
at least proportional to the p^2 order parameter \beta_1 in the electroweak
chiral Lagrangian and typical features of topcolor-assisted technicolor model
are that it only allows positive T and U parameters and the T parameter varies
in the range 0\sim 1/(25\alpha), the upper bound of T parameter will decrease
as long as Z' mass become large. The S parameter can be either positive or
negative depending on whether the Z' mass is large or small. The Z' mass is
also bounded above and the upper bound depend on value of T parameter. We
obtain the values for all the coefficients of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian
up to order of p^4.Comment: 52 pages, 15 figure
LHC Search of New Higgs Boson via Resonant Di-Higgs Production with Decays into 4W
Searching for new Higgs particle beyond the observed light Higgs boson
h(125GeV) will unambiguously point to new physics beyond the standard model. We
study the resonant production of a CP-even heavy Higgs state in the
di-Higgs channel via, , at the LHC Run-2 and
the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). We analyze two types of the decay modes,
one with the same-sign di-leptons () and the
other with tri-leptons (). We
perform a full simulation for the signals and backgrounds, and estimate the
discovery potential of the heavy Higgs state at the LHC Run-2 and the HL-LHC,
in the context of generical two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM). We determine the
viable parameter space of the 2HDM as allowed by the theoretical constraints
and the current experimental limits. We systematically analyze the allowed
parameter space of the 2HDM which can be effectively probed by the heavy Higgs
searches of the LHC, and further compare this with the viable parameter region
under the current theoretical and experimental bounds.Comment: v3: JHEP published version, 34pp, 10 Figs(36 plots) and 9 Tables.

Power-law Strength-Degree Correlation From a Resource-Allocation Dynamics on Weighted Networks
Many weighted scale-free networks are known to have a power-law correlation
between strength and degree of nodes, which, however, has not been well
explicated. We investigate the dynamic behaviors of resource/traffic flow on
scale-free networks. The dynamical system will evolve to a kinetic equilibrium
state, where the strength, defined by the amount of resource or traffic load,
is correlated with the degree in a power-law form with tunable exponent. The
analytical results agree with simulations well.Comment: 6 pages, and 8 figure
