Video Data Hiding Using Forbidden Zone Data Hiding and Selective Embedding Ersin Esen and A. Aydin Alatan‚ Member‚ IEEE Abstract—Video data hiding is still an important research topic due to the design complexities involved. We propose a new video data hiding method that makes use of erasure correction capa- bility of repeat accumulate codes and superiority of forbidden zone data hiding. Selective embedding is utilized in the proposed method to determine host

Although there are several alternatives‚ the most convenient solution seems to be the development of industrial production agriculture‚ which results in the farming practices of confined animal feeding. Intensive livestock operations or confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are farms in which anywhere from several hundred to several thousand animals are being raised in tremendously condensed spaces for the commercial production of poultry‚ meat and dairy

ORIGINS OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS RESEARCH comparison of the origins of operations management and operations research reveals that both are an innovation of the 20th century. The origin of operations research was in England‚ circa 1937‚ and has its roots in scientific management‚ with its first significant applications to military operations in both World War I and World War II. Operations management had its origins in the early factory system‚ and was more associated with physical

A) SELECTIVE (ARTIFICIAL BREEDING) Definition: Selective breeding is when the plants/animals from the existing stock that have the characteristics they want are selected and are allowed to breed. The offspring will hopefully display the characteristics which are required. The best offspring are then bred from‚ until all offspring display the characteristics that are wanted. This leads to new breeds of animal being produced. Uses: * High yielding crops‚ such as wheat are produced by collecting

Throughout history fate vs. free will has been debated over and over. Do we really have control over our lives‚ or are there higher beings controlling our lives? When we look at Greek Mythology we often run into the gods of that era.

We must ask ourselves if Odysseus was ruled by his own whims or if he was ruled by fate‚ this paper
