Topological Indices of Total Graph and Zero Divisor Graph of Commutative Ring: A Polynomial Approach by Sourav Mondal, Muhammad Imran, Nilanjan De, Anita Pal

“…The topological index is utilized as a significant tool in the study of the quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) and quantitative structures property relationship (QSPR) which correlate a molecular structure to its different properties and activities. Graphs containing finite commutative rings have wide applications in robotics, information and communication theory, elliptic curve cryptography, physics, and statistics. …”

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images using recompression by Jiu-fen LIU, Tao HAN, Yu-guo TIAN, Wen-bin LIU

“…To improve the performance of RDH (reversible data hiding) method in encrypted images,the embedding room was reserved before encryption and realizes the real separation of the data extraction from image decryption in op-eration.First,the feasibility of RDH in JPEG decompressed image blocks was researched.Then the theoretical probabil-ity of successful recovery of decompressed image blocks was calculated.Finally,a method of RDH in encrypted images was proposed and the main steps of the method include pretreatment,encryption,data embedding,data extraction and image recovery.The performance of the proposed method was compared with three existing RDH methods in encrypted images.The results demonstrate the proposed method has less error in image recovery,and for given embedding rates,the PSNR of decrypted image containing the embedded data are significantly improved.…”

Reminiscence Tours and Pilgrimage Sites by Katja Uusihakala

“…The notion of pilgrimage seems to capture both the physical as well as the emotional aspects that such movements contain. This essay examines how members of the ex-Rhodesian diaspora community in South Africa ‘travel back’ to the past in the present in two ways: firstly by concrete heritage journeys to Zimbabwe on reminiscence tours and secondly by constructing memory sites and commemorative venues, where the journeys back to the ‘homeland’ take the form of imaginative travel. …”

The Shop in Dickens’s Fiction by Maria Teresa CHIALANT

“…Considering that shops are either buildings and rooms where goods and services are sold, or spaces stocked with merchandise for sale, the present article looks at the latter of these functions in Dickens’s fiction; its aim is twofold: to draw attention to their recurrence as containers of objects—which gives him the opportunity to satisfy his obsession with the naming of things and to adopt the stylistic device of the list—and to explore the homology between the shop and the page as an example of Dickens’s rhetoric of “excess.”…”

Watermarking algorithm for image authentication based on second generation Bandelet by LIU Xu-chong1, LUO Yong1, WANG Jian-xin1, WANG Jie1

“…A watermarking algorithm for image authentication was designed,which was based on second generation Bandelet translation and statistical model.The image directional flow was constructed by using Bandelet,and it could depict the characteristic of the image.By applying noise visibility function,the noise visibility intensity algorithm which was based on Gaussian statistical models was proposed.The blocks of image which contain more texture information were selected to hide the image directional flow,based on the noise visibility intensity algorithm.The image was authen-ticated through comparing the hiding information and the carrier image directional flow created by Bandelet.Experimen-tal results show that the algorithm can resist the JPEG compression and noise attack strongly and guarantee the quality of the sight.It is a blind detection algorithm,and this algorithm has high concealment performance and security.…”

Vanini : un poème oublié de Hölderlin by Jacky C.-J. Paul

“…Indeed, an in-depth reading shows that in this ode and in the conception of nature outlined here—closely related to that of the “despiser of God”—a major and recurring key-theme is emerging which identifies Hölderlin as a militant poet, as an advocate of a “natural philosophy” that requires a radical reassessment of values and contains a message harmful to both the church and the state. …”
