Spinning black holes store rotational energy that can be extracted. When a hole is immersed in an externally supplied magnetic field, reconnection of field lines within the ergosphere generate negative (relative to infinity) particles fall into event horizon while other escape stealing from hole. We show analytically extraction via possible when spin high (dimensionless $a\sim1$) and plasma str...

This paper proposes a reversible data hiding mechanism based on multiresolution analysis with difference expansion algorithm. Based on the multiresolution analysis of an image, gradient information of crude original image is exploited to select proper embedding areas. Adaptively embedding method based on Difference Expansion Algorithm is proposed to embed data into the host image without causin...

Consider a mechanism design setting in which agents acquire costly information about an unknown, payoff-relevant state of nature. Information gathering is covert and the agents’ information is correlated. We investigate conditions under which (i) efficiency and (ii) full surplus extraction are Bayesian incentive compatible and interim individually rational. JEL Classification: D44, D82

In this paper we used a surfactant-stabilized lyotropic lamellar model system to study the interfacial behavior of an ion-extracting agent: N(1),N(3) dimethyl-N(1),N(3)-dibutyl-2-tetradecylmalonamide (DMDBTDMA). An analysis of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and polarized attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) data enabled us to describe the distribution of the m...

The transition to symbolic information from images involves in general the loss or misclassification of information. One way to deal with this missing or wrong information is to get feedback from concrete hypotheses derived at a symbolic level to the sub-symbolic (signal) stage to amplify weak information or correct misclassifications. This paper proposes such a feedback mechanism between the s...

Marine ecosystems cover more than 70% of the globe's surface. These habitats are occupied by a great diversity of marine organisms that produce highly structural diverse metabolites as a defense mechanism. In the last decades, these metabolites have been extracted and isolated in order to test them in different bioassays and assess their potential to fight human diseases. Since traditional extr...
