Protecting copyright of a digital content is gaining momentum and has been suitably complemented by technological innovations. Literature piracy, though not being given much attention, constitutes a major bulk. Unlike audio and video, text piracy is not complemented by IT solutions except for certain proprietary initiatives. This pursuit embarks on review of technological advancements for Text Copyright Protection along with issues and challenges for their implementation. Appraisal comprises of watermark embedding algorithms and distribution infrastructure. A brief discussion over the document structure, watermark composition and type, classification of algorithms and future direction is also being accomplished. To make approach holistic couple of systems were also studied.

 Abstract— This article presents an approach to protection of printed text data by watermark embedding in the printing process. Data protection is based on robust watermark embedding that is invariant to text data format converting into image. The choice of a robust watermark within the confines of the presented classification of digital watermark is justified. The requirements to developed robust watermark have been formed. According to the formed requirements and existing restrictions, an approach to robust watermark embedding into text data based on a steganographic algorithm of line spacing shifting has been developed. The block diagram and the description of the developed algorithm of data embedding into text data are given. An experimental estimation of the embedding capacity and perceptual invisibility of the developed data embedding approach was carried out. An approach to extract embedded information from images containing a robust watermark has been developed. The limits of the retrieval, extraction accuracy and robustness evaluation of embedded data to various transformations have been experimentally established.Tóm tắt— Bài báo trình bày cách tiếp cận để bảo vệ dữ liệu văn bản in bằng cách nhúng vào văn bản một đoạn thủy vân trong quá trình in. Bảo vệ dữ liệu dựa trên việc sử dụng thủy vân bền vững có khả năng chống lại sự chuyển đổi định dạng dữ liệu văn bản sang dữ liệu hình ảnh. Sau quá trình phân tích các hệ thống thủy vân số hiện có, nhận thấy việc lựa chọn một mô hình thủy vân bền vững là hợp lý. Do yêu cầu thực tế và các hạn chế của phương pháp nhúng thủy vân vào dữ liệu văn bản hiện có, bài báo đưa ra phương pháp nhúng mới được phát triển dựa trên một thuật toán ẩn mã sử dụng cách thay đổi khoảng cách giữa các dòng trong văn bản. Bài báo đưa ra một sơ đồ khối và mô tả thuật toán nhúng thông tin vào dữ liệu văn bản. Các thực nghiệm về khả năng nhúng và khả năng che giấu thông tin với tri giác thông thường của dữ liệu nhúng cũng được trình bày. Bài báo cũng nêu cách tiếp cận để trích xuất thông tin được nhúng từ các hình ảnh có chứa thủy vân bền vững. Bên cạnh đó, chúng tôi cũng đưa ra các giới hạn về khả năng ứng dụng của phương pháp dựa trên các thực nghiệm, các đánh giá về độ chính xác của việc trích xuất được dữ liệu và độ mạnh của phương pháp nhúng mới này đối với các phép biến đổi ảnh khác nhau.

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) can produce 3 types of signals: clicks, whistles and vocalizations. This study focuses on Orca vocalizations from northern Vancouver Island (Hanson Island) where the NGO Orcalab developed a multi-hydrophone recording station to study Orcas. The acoustic station is composed of 5 hydrophones and extends over 50 km 2 of ocean. Since 2015 we are continuously streaming the hydrophone signals to our laboratory in Toulon, France, yielding nearly 50 TB of synchronous multichannel recordings. In previous work, we trained a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to detect Orca vocalizations, using transfer learning from a bird activity dataset. Here, for each detected vocalization, we estimate the pitch contour (fundamental frequency). Finally, we cluster vocalizations by features describing the pitch contour. While preliminary, our results demonstrate a possible route towards automatic Orca call type classification. Furthermore, they can be linked to the presence of particular Orca pods in the area according to the classification of their call types. A large-scale call type classification would allow new insights on phonotactics and ethoacoustics of endangered Orca populations in the face of increasing anthropic pressure.

The paper reports the concept of a technological way as an urgent and empirically substantiated continuation of the wellknown theory of long waves in economy. The theory of long waves allows predicting on an empirical level world economic crises and an economic growth on the horizon for 50 years. The genesis of the theory of long waves by means of retrospective author’s classification of theories of long waves in accordance with technological, economic, institutional, administrative and social signs is analyzed. A basic range of authors having formed a modern and urgent theory of long waves which is verified by time and supported by empirical computations is presented by N.D. Kondratiev, G. Mensch, J. Dossy, Ch. Peres, S.Yu. Glaziev. The concept of a technological way being empirically confirmed by the continuation of the theory of long waves was formed by Academician Glaziev. In this concept there are revealed basic statement-laws and also the necessity of methodological approaches in technological, economic, institutional, administrative and sociological fields. The logic of the formation and interaction of technological totality is described thoroughly. The conclusions of technological way existence are drawn. Technological innovations defining the formation of the core of a technological way and revolutionizing a technological structure of economy have obtained a name of a “key factor”. Nanotechnologies are such a factor at present and for the prospect of 50 years. The conclusions of a basic property of a technological way being a self-reproducing integrity are drawn in consequence of which the technical development of economy cannot take place otherwise as by means of a successive change of technological ways.
