An interdisciplinary perspective on social and physical determinants of seismic risk by Lin, K.-H. E., Chang, Y.-C., Liu, G.-Y., Lin, T.-H., Yeh, C.-H., Chan, Chung-Han

“…While disaster studies researchers usually view risk as a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, few studies have systematically examined the relationships among the various physical and socioeconomic determinants underlying disasters, and fewer have done so through seismic risk analysis. In the context of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this study constructs three statistical models to test different determinants that affect disaster fatality at the village level, including seismic hazard, exposure of population and fragile buildings, and demographic and socioeconomic vulnerability. …”

Robust watermarking of compressed and encrypted JPEG2000 images by Subramanyam, A. V., Kankanhalli, Mohan S., Emmanuel, Sabu

“…While the proposed technique embeds watermark in the compressed-encrypted domain, the extraction of watermark can be done in the decrypted domain. We investigate in detail the embedding capacity, robustness, perceptual quality and security of the proposed algorithm, using these watermarking schemes: Spread Spectrum (SS), Scalar Costa Scheme Quantization Index Modulation (SCS-QIM), and Rational Dither Modulation (RDM).…”
