Research on algorithm for raster map multi-level sharing based on region incrementing color visual cryptography by Liguo FANG, Zhengxin FU, Hao HU, Gang SHEN, Bin YU

“…In view of the characteristics of raster map,important data of the map were divided into different map layers by using the idea of map segmentation.A regional incremental color visual cryptographic scheme for raster map sharing was designed,and a model based on this scheme was proposed.At the same time,the specific application process was given.In order to solve the problem of large pixel expansibility and poor visual effect of image recovery in traditional regional incremental visual cryptography scheme,random numbers and the access structure optimization were used.Construction of the method was simple and the additional overhead of generating and saving the encryption matrix was avoided.The experimental results show that the scheme can achieve multilevel raster map sharing with the map’s perfect recovery,meanwhile the extension of the scheme pixel is greatly reduced.…”

Les types de climats annuels au Brésil : une application de la classification de Köppen de 1961 à 2015 by Vincent Dubreuil, Karime Pechutti Fante, Olivier Planchon, João Lima Sant'anna Neto

“…The statistical and cartographic treatment of this information makes it possible to define the limits of the climates of Brazil: here we apply the concepts of « strong nuclei », defined as the regions where the ACT are systematically or mostly the same, and « transition areas », i.e. regions where there is a great diversity of ACT. This approach allows us to propose a detailed study of the transitions between the tropical climates types (mainly Aw, Am and Af) and those of the south, subtropical and temperate (Cwa and Cfa in particular) and discuss these climatic limits.…”

Nord et Sud dans la construction de l’identité noire américaine : réflexions sur le Mouvement pour les Droits Civiques by Anne Stefani

“…Through the example of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, it analyzes the Freedom Movement from a North/South perspective, showing that the Movement allowed the convergence and interaction of two specific black identities which had developed in the North and in the South in the wake of the Great Migration. After exposing the main characteristics of these two identities at mid-20th century, the article focuses on the evolution of SNCC and of a selection of its key members to demonstrate how the Movement absorbed and transformed distinctive features of black northern and southern cultures, giving birth, ultimately, to a new black identity in which North and South became united after an era of separate development.…”
