Improving random number generators by chaotic iterations. Application in data hiding
In this paper, a new pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) based on chaotic iterations is proposed. This method also combines the digits of two XORshifts PRNGs.

Quantization-Based Image Watermarking by Using a Normalization Scheme in the Wavelet Domain
To improve the invisibility and robustness of quantization-based image watermarking algorithms, we developed an improved quantization image watermarking method based on the wavelet transform and normalization strategy used in this study.

A “Tech First” Approach to Foreign Policy? The Three Meanings of Tech Diplomacy
ABSTRACT Scholars have recently argued that international politics is plagued by instability as the world rapidly transitions from one crisis to another. This state of “Permacrisis,” or permanent crises between states, is driven by technological innovations which create new kinds of crises and drive competitions between adversarial states.

Abstract AI enables forms of automation that threaten unemployment and deskilling, eliminating important opportunities for the development of virtue. The concomitant loss of virtue and meaningful employment makes it a theological problem from the perspective of Catholic social teaching and theological anthropology.

ABSTRACT Between 1889 and 1914, the international peace movement and the labor movement shared goals of preventing war and promoting justice, but their collaboration was constrained by differing class compositions and priorities. While the peace movement, led largely by middle‐class reformers, emphasized arbitration and disarmament, the labor movement,

A robust watermarking technique based on image normalization
This paper presents a robust watermarking method against geometric distortions and several other signal processing schemes. In the proposed watermarking method, image normalization is used to get geometric invariant features. The watermark embedding and

The Tree of Chivalry and the Black Lady: Juana of Castile's 1496 Joyous Entry into Brussels☆
Abstract Kupferstichkabinett MS 78D5 (Staatliche Museen Berlin) presents an iconographic account of the Joyous Entry of Juana of Castile into Brussels on 9 December 1496. In this article, we newly identify a rare visual record of a civic contribution to a tournament within the manuscript.

The traditional embedded watermarking scheme achieves copyright protection of images by embedding watermarks into the original images. This process will deteriorate the original image, so it is not suitable for medical images.

Rice response as affected by various fertilizer‐P sources under contrasting irrigation methods
Abstract Alternative fertilizer‐phosphorus (P) sources created by recycling excess nutrients from waste sources, such as struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O), require further research to determine their niche in agriculture and potential environmental implications.
