steganography in colored images based on biometrics by Zeena Nabeel Jameel AL-Kateeb, Marriam Raad Jasim Mohammed AL-Bazaz

“…Therefore this research has provided a suggested algorithm to hide confidential data in colorful images based on the features of engineering dimensions of the human hand as one of the types of biometrics; we extracted a set of these characteristics and processed them to build a matrix that specifies the map of the distribution of confidential data in the cover image. The proposed method was applied to a set of images to hide a set of confidential messages and the visual quality of the cover image was not affected after the concealment. …”

An effective Key Frame Extraction technique based on Feature Fusion and Fuzzy-C means clustering with Artificial Hummingbird by Sumandeep Kaur, Lakhwinder Kaur, Madan Lal

“…This study proposes a key frame extraction method from a video that (i) first removes insignificant frames by pre-processing, (ii) second, four visual and structural feature differences among the consecutive frames are extracted and aggregated to identify informative frames, (iii) third, to cluster the obtained frames, a hybrid FCM-AHA method is proposed by combining Fuzzy C-means(FCM) with artificial hummingbird optimization algorithm (AHA) to circumvent the local minima trapping problem of FCM, and finally, from each cluster, the two frames having greatest Euclidean distance from all the other frames within a cluster is selected as key frames to remove redundant frames. …”

MATHEMATICAL LOW-REYNOLDS MODELING OF HEAT EXCHANGE IIN TURBULENT FLOW IN FLAT CHANNELS WITH TURBULATORS SYMMETRICALLY LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES by I. E. Lobanov

“…Objectives The aim of the study was to simulate the heat transfer in flat channel with turbulators, symmetrically located on its both sides, depending on the channel's geometric parameters and the coolant flow modes followed by the verification of the obtained calculated data by the existing experiment.Methods The calculation was carried out on the basis of a theoretical method based on the solution of the Reynolds equations, closed with the help of the Menter shear stress transport model, by factored finite-volume method, as well as the energy equation on multiscale intersecting structured grids (Fast COmposite Mesh method, FCOM).Results A theoretical mathematical calculation model for intensified heat exchange in turbulent flow for a flat channel with turbulators, symmetrically located on both sides, depending on the channel's geometric parameters and coolant flow modes was generated. …”
