Secret image sharing with multi-sized shadow images: Balancing concealment and communication overhead

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences
Secret image sharing (SIS) possesses advantageous attributes such as loss tolerance, offering a promising solution for image protection. However, the issue remains unresolved, which is the trade-off between the transmission or storage overhead of shadow ...

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.

On Converting Secret Sharing Scheme to Visual Secret Sharing Scheme

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2010
Traditional Secret Sharing (SS) schemes reconstruct secret exactly the same as the original one but involve complex computation. Visual Secret Sharing (VSS) schemes decode the secret without computation, but each share is m times as big as the original ...

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Redacted Disclosures and Bank Loan Contract Terms

Journal of Corporate Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of redacting disclosures on bank loan contracts. Our findings indicate that firms that redact information have loans with significantly higher spreads, shorter maturities, and more restrictive covenants and face a greater likelihood they will be required to post collateral compared to firms that do not redact ...

Incorporating Crowdsourced Data Into Operational Products: A Perspective From a National Meteorological Service

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Future advances in the fields of meteorology and climate science will require scientists to increasingly strive towards the provision of new high‐resolution services. In this context, the development of new products and services along the weather chain may greatly benefit from the adoption of second‐and‐third‐party data (23PD) as a source of high ...
