Digital watermarking was commenced to copyright protection and ownership verification of multimedia data. However the evolution of the watermark focused on different security aspects of multimedia data such as integrity and authenticity. Fragile and semi-fragile watermarking schemes were introduced to accomplish these requirements. In this paper, we propose semi-fragile watermarking scheme to a...

In migratory birds, the place and time of pair formation are important parameters for population structure and dynamics. Geese are not only migratory but also exhibit long-term monogamy, and therefore the first pairing event in a bird’s lifetime is of particular importance. Through behavioural observations of young, known-age, marked birds conducted on the wintering grounds during three winter ...

was dying. I found him in a state of stupor, his body cold, and his pulse scarcely perceptible. He was ordered a draught of 25 minims of strong liquor ammonias and an ounce of brandy, but it was found that he could not swallow. At 10 o'clock, that is to say about half an hour after lie was bitten, I injected 25 drops of strong liquor arnmoniae under the skin at the point where there was the mar...

Rarely do the same apparitions inhabit the work of modern theorists of subjectivity, politics, ethnicity, the Sanskrit cosmopolis and medieval architecture at once. However, the South Asianist historian who ponders the work of Charles Taylor, Partha Chatterjee, James Scott and Sheldon Pollock cannot help notice the apparitions of monastic subjects within each. Tamara Sears has gestured at the s...

All of these papers share a concern with producing analyses of culture that are comprehensive and internally coherent. All agree with van der Leeuw that formalization can be used to achieve this. All assume that such analyses will be more than mere categorizations or remote analogies and will help expose the inner dynamics of culture. Though there is a common commitment to formalization as a ba...

Research has shown that single stuck-at fault (SSF) Ndetect test sets are effective for detecting defects not modeled by the SSF model. Experimental results showed N-detect coverage is a good metric for determining test quality. In this paper, we examine the test quality of pseudo-random Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) patterns by quantifying the relations between their N-detect coverage and test len...
