Juxtaposition of Shallow Reservoir-Triggered Seismicity and Deep Tectonic Locking in the Qiaojia-Dongchuan Seismic Gap

Identifying the critical state of mature seismic gaps is challenging, especially when anthropogenic stress perturbations, such as reservoir impoundment, superimpose on tectonic loading. Here, utilizing a high-resolution dense array catalog from the Qiaojia-Dongchuan seismic gap (hosting the second-largest hydropower station in the world), we reveal a distinct vertical decoupling mechanism. The shallow activities exhibit high b-values (1.0), indicative of fluid-driven reservoir-triggered seismicity. Conversely, deep seismicity (20 km) outlines a 'locked asperity' characterized by low b-values (less than 0.8) and high Coulomb stress accumulation rate. We further identify a complex dipping structure, suggesting compound fault kinematics. Additionally, the calculated stress accumulation suggests this seismic gap is in a critical state with elevated rupture potential. Our findings indicate that shallow induced seismicity can mask the silent accumulation of deep tectonic strain. This decoupling model provides a new framework for assessing seismic risks in reservoir-fault systems globally.

Reversible Data Hiding over Encrypted Images via Intrinsic Correlation in Block-Based Secret Sharing

With the rapid advancements in information technology, reversible data hiding over encrypted images (RDH-EI) has become essential for secure image management in cloud services. However, existing RDH-EI schemes often suffer from high computational complexity, low embedding rates, and excessive data expansion. This paper addresses these challenges by first analyzing the block-based secret sharing in existing schemes, revealing significant data redundancy within image blocks. Based on this observation, we propose two space-preserving methods: the direct space-vacating method and the image-shrinking-based space-vacating method. Using these techniques, we design two novel RDH-EI schemes: a high-capacity RDH-EI scheme and a size-reduced RDH-EI scheme. The high-capacity RDH-EI scheme directly creates embedding space in encrypted images, eliminating the need for complex space-vacating operations and achieving higher and more stable embedding rates. In contrast, the size-reduced RDH-EI scheme minimizes data expansion by discarding unnecessary shares, resulting in smaller encrypted images. Experimental results show that the high-capacity RDH-EI scheme outperforms existing methods in terms of embedding capacity, while the size-reduced RDH-EI scheme excels in minimizing data expansion. Both schemes provide effective solutions to the challenges in RDH-EI, offering promising applications in fields such as medical imaging and cloud storage.

A Hybrid Quantum Computing Pipeline for Real World Drug Discovery

Quantum computing, with its superior computational capabilities compared to classical approaches, holds the potential to revolutionize numerous scientific domains, including pharmaceuticals. However, the application of quantum computing for drug discovery has primarily been limited to proof-of-concept studies, which often fail to capture the intricacies of real-world drug development challenges. In this study, we diverge from conventional investigations by developing \rev{a hybrid} quantum computing pipeline tailored to address genuine drug design problems. Our approach underscores the application of quantum computation in drug discovery and propels it towards more scalable system. We specifically construct our versatile quantum computing pipeline to address two critical tasks in drug discovery: the precise determination of Gibbs free energy profiles for prodrug activation involving covalent bond cleavage, and the accurate simulation of covalent bond interactions. This work serves as a pioneering effort in benchmarking quantum computing against veritable scenarios encountered in drug design, especially the covalent bonding issue present in both of the case studies, thereby transitioning from theoretical models to tangible applications. Our results demonstrate the potential of a quantum computing pipeline for integration into real world drug design workflows.

Secure Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images Using Cipher-Feedback Secret Sharing

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDH-EI) has attracted increasing attention, since it can protect the privacy of original images while the embedded data can be exactly extracted. Recently, some RDH-EI schemes with multiple data hiders have been proposed using secret sharing technique. However, these schemes protect the contents of the original images with lightweight security level. In this paper, we propose a high-security RDH-EI scheme with multiple data hiders. First, we introduce a cipher-feedback secret sharing (CFSS) technique. It follows the cryptography standards by introducing the cipher-feedback strategy of AES. Then, using the CFSS technique, we devise a new (r,n)-threshold (r<=n) RDH-EI scheme with multiple data hiders called CFSS-RDHEI. It can encrypt an original image into n encrypted images with reduced size using an encryption key and sends each encrypted image to one data hider. Each data hider can independently embed secret data into the encrypted image to obtain the corresponding marked encrypted image. The original image can be completely recovered from r marked encrypted images and the encryption key. Performance evaluations show that our CFSS-RDHEI scheme has high embedding rate and its generated encrypted images are much smaller, compared to existing secret sharing-based RDH-EI schemes. Security analysis demonstrates that it can achieve high security to defense some commonly used security attacks.
