Evaluation of the Worldwide Occurrence of Rabies in Dogs and Cats Using a Simple and Homogenous Framework for Quantitative Risk Assessments of Rabies Reintroduction in Disease-Free Areas through Pet Movements

Dog and Pet Supplies cat rabies cases imported from rabies enzootic countries represent a major threat for areas that have acquired rabies-free status and quantitative risk analyses (QRAs) are developed in order to assess this risk of rabies reintroduction through dog and cat movements.Herein we describe a framework to evaluate dog and cat rabies i

Binary image steganography method based on layered embedding

A non-additive distortion binary image steganography method was proposed which divided the cover image into two sub cover images, updated the distortion through delivering King Adjustable Base influence factor, and used the minimizing distortion codes to achieve message embedding.Compared with the previous additive distortion steganography methods
