Download or read book Information Hiding written by Fabien A. P. Petitcolas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These post-proceedings contain 27 papers that were accepted for presentation at the Fifth International Workshop on Information Hiding, held 7–9 October 2002, in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The papers were selected from 78 submissions on the basis of their scienti?c excellence and novelty by the program committee. We tried to have a balanced program covering several aspects of information hiding. The program committee was composed of Ross J. Anderson (Univ- sity of Cambridge, UK), Jan Camenisch (IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland), Ingemar J. Cox (NEC Research Institute, USA), John McHugh (SEI/CERT, USA), Ira S. Moskowitz (Naval Research Laboratory, USA), Job Oostveen (Philips Research, The Netherlands), Andreas P?tzmann (Dresden University of Technology, Germany), Mike Reiter (Carnegie Mellon University, USA), and me. We all wish to thank all the authors of submissions for o?ering their papers for consideration. This year, contrary to the four previous workshops, the call for papers - quested anonymous submissions. However, anonymity was not compulsory and we did accept some papers in which the identity of the authors was clear. Each submission was assigned to three members of the program committee. Papers submitted by program committee members were assigned to four reviewers. The program committee relied on the advice of outside colleagues. We also insisted that 12 of the 27 accepted papers should be revised according to the comments of the reviewers.

Download or read book Twisted But True written by Darren Burch and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retired Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch captivates you on another wild police ride-along with outrageously macabre and compelling stories from his thirty-year career as a rookie cop, sex crime detective, and night detective sergeant in the Phoenix Police Department’s Homicide Unit in this gut-clinching, horrific, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny follow-up to Darren’s award-winning true-crime book, Twisted But True. Darren’s dark humor reemerges with a vengeance, starting with death and despair, and then to the hilarious as a rookie cop in “That First Squad,” to a case of animal sexual depravity in “Choking the Chicken,” and a deadly home invasion beyond belief in “That One Case”, which was featured on the ID Channel’s American Detective TV series. These thirty true-crime stories mirror the time frame of Twisted But True, but this time, Darren goes even deeper and darker by filling in the cracks.

Download or read book How to Hide Inside a Three written by Jane van der Riet and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's hard enough being an adult, let alone a functional one. Leigh-Anne feels like neither. A white woman from Cape Town's Southern Suburbs, she's gradually unravelling as wife, mother, sister, daughter and office manager. The story opens in winter with Leigh-Anne lost at midnight on Rondebosch Common. Three losses are preying on her. First, there's her relationship with her ageing dad, who seems to be hiding a secret. Secondly, Leigh-Anne's desire for Samuel, her thin and distracted psychiatrist husband, has run dry, and she can't help thinking about her colleague Omar at NGO Phambili - Omar with the hairy wrists and warm jacket. The third area of loss is through a perceived betrayal of her activist best friend, Gwendal, whose increasing battiness alienates her teenage daughter. Leigh-Anne's children, Tom and Jamie, pipe up from the sidelines. They are oblivious as their mother grows fatter and drunker, her clandestine bingeing a backdrop to their lives. She seeks refuge by ordering her world into threes and multiples of threes, which are presented as lists - quirky, funny and often poignant. Her lists corral her worries and failures but can't fix them. Looming large is the loss of a national dream, evident in the poverty all around them, and personified in Mr Hoody, who lives on the pavement outside Leigh-Anne's local Spar. Leigh-Anne and her siblings discover the sordid secret their parents have been hiding: her father had an affair with the teenage sister of a nurse who worked at his abortion clinic on the Cape Flats during the apartheid years. The girl became pregnant, and Leigh-Anne has a sister, whom she tracks down. Eventually, Leigh-Anne's husband moves out and she starts rebuilding her life - with the possibility that Omar (whose attempted reconciliation with his ex-wife has failed) might be a part of it.

Download or read book Multimedia Security written by Kaiser J. Giri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of outstanding content written by experts working in the field of multimedia security. It provides an insight about various techniques used in multimedia security and identifies its progress in both technological and algorithmic perspectives. In the contemporary world, digitization offers an effective mechanism to process, preserve and transfer all types of information. The incredible progresses in computing and communication technologies augmented by economic feasibility have revolutionized the world. The availability of efficient algorithms together with inexpensive digital recording and storage peripherals have created a multimedia era bringing conveniences to people in sharing the digital data that includes images, audio and video. The ever-increasing pace, at which the multimedia and communication technology is growing, has also made it possible to combine, replicate and distribute the content faster and easier, thereby empowering mankind by having a wealth of information at their disposal. However, security of multimedia is giving tough time to the research community around the globe, due to ever-increasing and efficient attacks carried out on multimedia data by intruders, eves-droppers and hackers. Further, duplication, unauthorized use and mal-distribution of digital content have become a serious challenge as it leads to copyright violation and is considered to be the principal reason that refrains the information providers in freely sharing their proprietary digital content. The book is useful for students, researchers and professionals to advance their study.

Download or read book Studies on the Derveni Papyrus Volume II written by Glenn W. Most and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on the Derveni Papyrus, volume II brings together two new editions of the first fragmentarily extant columns of the Derveni Papyrus and seven scholarly articles devoted to their interpretation. The Derveni Papyrus is by far the most important textual discovery of the 20th centuryregarding early Greek philosophy, religion, exegetical theory and practice, linguistic ideas, and a host of other areas and issues. But the editorial and interpretative history of this extraordinary document has been very checkered. While the interpretation of the better preserved later columns isstill highly controversial in many regards, at least the text of those columns has by and large found a scholarly consensus; but the editorial and interpretative situation with the worse preserved first columns is quite different. This volume offers not one but two editions of the first columns, byRichard Janko and by Valeria Piano, given that it is not currently possible to agree upon a single edition; and it explains clearly and in detail the papyrological problems and doubts that lead to these two editions, making it possible for readers (even non-papyrologists) to form their own informedjudgment about the most likely readings to be adopted. Furthermore, it contains a number of articles by leading scholars on the Derveni Papyrus, above all offering original solutions to the question of the relation between the earlier and the later columns, but also providing analysis andinterpretation of other, related problems.

Download or read book What the Robin Knows written by Jon Young and published by HMH. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to listening to songbirds—the key to observing nature in a whole new way. Includes audio of bird vocalizations! A lifelong birder, tracker, and naturalist, Jon Young is guided in his work and teaching by three basic premises: the robin, junco, and other songbirds know everything important about their environment, be it backyard or forest; by tuning in to their vocalizations and behavior, we can acquire much of this wisdom for our own pleasure and benefit; and the birds’ companion calls and warning alarms are just as important as their songs. Birds are the sentries of—and our key to understanding the world beyond our front door. By learning to remain quiet and avoid disturbing the environment, we can heed the birds and acquire an amazing new level of awareness. We are welcome in their habitat. The birds don’t fly away. The larger animals don’t race off. No longer hapless intruders, we now find, see, and engage the deer, the fox, the red-shouldered hawk—even the elusive, whispering wren. Deep bird language is an ancient discipline, perfected by Native peoples the world over. Finally, science is catching up. This groundbreaking book unites the indigenous knowledge, the latest research, and the author’s own experience of four decades in the field to lead us toward a deeper connection to the animals and, in the end, ourselves. “He can sit still in his yard, watching and listening for the moment when robins and other birds no longer perceive him as a threat. Then he can begin to hear what the birds say to each other, warning about nearby hawks, cats, or competitors. Young’s book will teach you how you, too, can understand birds and their fascinating behaviors.” —BirdWatching “Here is the ancestral wisdom passed down from Apache elder Stalking Wolf to renowned tracker Tom Brown to Jon Young himself, who in turn passes on to the reader the art of truly listening to the avian soundscape. With all senses more finely tuned, you’ll find yourself more aware of your surroundings, slowing down, and reconnecting with a native intelligence and love of the natural world that lies deep within each of us.” —Donald Kroodsma, author ofThe Singing Life of Birds and Birdsong by the Seasons

Download or read book Ten Projects in Applied Statistics written by Peter McCullagh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-04 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first half of the book is aimed at quantitative research workers in biology, medicine, ecology and genetics. The book as a whole is aimed at graduate students in statistics, biostatistics, and other quantitative disciplines. Ten detailed examples show how the author approaches real-world statistical problems in a principled way that allows for adequate compromise and flexibility. The need to accommodate correlations associated with space, time and other relationships is a recurring theme, so variance-components models feature prominently. Statistical pitfalls are illustrated via examples taken from the recent scientific literature. Chapter 11 sets the scene, not just for the second half of the book, but for the book as a whole. It begins by defining fundamental concepts such as baseline, observational unit, experimental unit, covariates and relationships, randomization, treatment assignment, and the role that these play in model formulation. Compatibility of the model with the randomization scheme is crucial. The effect of treatment is invariably modelled as a group action on probability distributions. Technical matters connected with space-time covariance functions, residual likelihood, likelihood ratios, and transformations are discussed in later chapters.
