The article has been reproduced with the permission of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The article (JBI 2006a), which updates and supersedes the 2003 information sheet of the same name, has been derived from a systematic review conducted in 2004 (Fernandez et al 2004)...

Altimetry is probably one of the most powerful tools for ice sheet observation. Our vision of the Antarctic ice sheet has been deeply transformed since the launch of the ERS1 satellite in 1991. With the launch of ERS2 and Envisat, the series of altimetric observations now provides 19 years of continuous and homogeneous observations that allow monitoring of the shape and volume of ice sheets. Th...

This fact sheet is part of a series highlighting different recyclable commodities. According to dictionary.com, a commodity is as “an article of trade or commerce; something of use, advantage, or value; any unprocessed or partially processed good.” When a product is recycled, original commodity material becomes new products. The recyclable commodity fact sheet series is designed to answer commo...

A numerical framework for the simulation of sheet steel stamping forming is presented. The main problems, the equations of motion, the constitutive relation, the initial conditions, boundary conditions and contact conditions, are presented in detail. Based on this, the finite element model is established and solved for exploring the changes in laws of stress, strain and so on. The information o...

Abstract-In this paper, concept of visual cryptography is extended to digital watermarking scheme based on least significant bit (LSB) algorithm. An image which has to be transmitted (watermark) is split into two sheetimages using visual secret sharing algorithm. Then, one sheet -image are embedded into the host images before transmission and second sheet –image is held by the owner At the rece...
