Enhanced Efficiency and Security in LSB2 Steganography: Burst Embedding and Private Key Integration
Abstract In the realm of digital colour image steganography, the utilisation of an image key for the extraction of essential covering stego-bytes from predetermined secret positions was explored. The traditional Least Significant Bit (LSB) and LSB2 methodologies were streamlined by substituting the logical operations within both the hiding and extraction functions with straightforward assignment operations. […]

Is the β3-Adrenoceptor a Valid Target for the Treatment of Obesity and/or Type 2 Diabetes?
Abstract β3-Adrenoceptors mediate several functions in rodents that could be beneficial for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. This includes promotion of insulin release from the pancreas, cellular glucose uptake, lipolysis, and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. In combination, they lead to a reduction of body weight in several rodent models including ob/ob […]
