Due to the ubiquity of social media and digital information, the
use of digital images in today's digitized marketplace is
continuously rising throughout enterprises. Organizations that want
to offer their content through the internet confront plenty of
security concerns, including copyright violation. Advanced
solutions for the security and privacy of digital data are
continually being developed, yet there is a lack of current
research in this area. The Handbook of Research on Multimedia
Forensics and Content Integrity features a collection of innovative
research on the approaches and applications of current techniques
for the privacy and security of multimedia and their secure
transportation. It provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the
latest empirical research findings in the area of multimedia
forensics and content integrity. Covering topics such as 3D data
security, copyright protection, and watermarking, this major
reference work is a comprehensive resource for security analysts,
programmers, technology developers, IT professionals, students and
educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and
academicians.
By addressing the enigma of the exceptional success of Hungarian
emigrant scientists and telling their life stories, Brilliance in
Exile combines scholarly analysis with fascinating portrayals of
uncommon personalities. Istvan and Balazs Hargittai discuss the
conditions that led to five different waves of emigration of
scientists from the early twentieth century to the present.
Although these exodes were driven by a broad variety of personal
motivations, the attraction of an open society with inclusiveness,
tolerance, and - needless to say - better circumstances for working
and living, was the chief force drawing them abroad. While
emigration from East to West is a general phenomenon, this book
explains why and how the emigration of Hungarian scientists is
distinctive. The high number of Nobel Prizes among this group is
only one indicator. Multicultural tolerance, a quickly emerging,
considerably Jewish, urban middle class, and a very effective
secondary school system were positive legacies of the
Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Multiple generations, shaped by these
conditions, suffered from the increasingly exclusionist,
intolerant, antisemitic, and economically stagnating environment,
and chose to go elsewhere. "I would rather have roots than wings,
but if I cannot have roots, I shall use wings," explained Leo
Szilard, one of the fathers of the Atom Bomb.
