By the distinguishing texture characteristics encoded in wavelet transform domain, the text is fast detected from complex background images stored in the compressed format such as JPEG2000 without full decompress. Compared with some traditional character location methods, the proposed scheme has the advantages of low computational cost, robust to size and font of characters and high accuracy. Preliminary experimental results show that the proposed scheme is efficient and effective.展开更多

CAC uses a candidate anchor histogram and the file-type specific knowledge to refine how anchors are determined when performing de- duplication of file data and enforces the selected average chunk size. CAC yields more chunks being found which in turn produces smaller average chtmks and a better reduction in data. We present a detailed evaluation of CAC and the experimental results show that this scheme can improve the compression ratio chunking for file types whose bytes are not randomly distributed （from 11.3% to 16.7% according to different datasets）, and improve the write throughput on average by 9.7%.展开更多

Nonetheless, the research in this domain has been growing at an impressive speed in recent decades. Analysis of corporate governance has become a key factor in our understanding of corporations in recent years, and an indicator of investor confidence in the decisions is taken by the managers and board of directors of the listed companies. This paper evaluates both qualitative and quantitative techniques that are implied in corporate governance field. The methodological techniques are a key element of the research process In this article, the authors developed a content analysis of the published empirical research in order to expose a possible gap between what is currently done versus what needs to be done in terms of the techniques of data analysis used in corporate governance field. The results of this study allow the authors to draw some valuable conclusions regarding the trends in methodological techniques that support the evolution of corporate governance. The findings indicate that, in general, the researchers are inclined to more sophisticated quantitative techniques. However, the use of qualitative techniques remains preponderant among corporate governance scholars.展开更多
