Therefore, it is important for privacy institutions to actively check the documents on the Internet to find out whether some private files have been leaked. In this paper, we put forward a scheme for active image betrayal checking on the Intemet based on the digital fingerprint, which embeds fingerprints into privacy documents, extracts codes from the Intemet images, and then fmds out the divulged files by matching two groups of codes. Due to so many documents on the Internet, the number of times of code comparison is huge, which leads to a large running time. To overcome the deficiency in practical application, we optimized the process by accurate matching methods and approximate matching method. Then a method was proposed to group objects by locality sensitive hashing （LSH） process before code comparison, in order to eliminate the vast majority of unrelated pairs. Experiments prove that this method could operate with less running time and less memory.展开更多

Florentine Renaissance depictions of the theme are numerous and varied, traditionally represented as a predella （step） panel and as an altarpiece in dining halls or sacristies of churches and convents. Vasari＇s Last Supper for the Refectory ofLe Murate （The Walled） in Florence is an unusual depiction of Christ＇s thanksgiving. This imposing religious structure was painted for a poor Benedictine nunnery＇s cenacolo （refectory） in Florence. Vasari completed two drawings for the commission in 1546. The drawings and painting reveal how Vasari drew upon the work of his predecessors to create an innovative expression of thanksgiving, betrayal, and departure. This large masterpiece was severely damaged, almost irreparably, by several mishaps and floods in 1583 and 1718 and, more recently, by the major Florentine alluvione （flood） of 1966. In commemoration of the 50th year anniversary of this last catastrophic event, Vasari＇s Le Mutate Last Supper was carefully and magically restored by a group of masterful technicians, artists, and scientists. Their collaboration and support from the private sector demonstrate the successful bond among art, technology, science, and patronage.展开更多

And these problems that Shakespeare has given to us through the play King Learare never limited by the ages and nations, they are general social problems. This paper aims at analyzing the major character and the reason that causes this tragic ending. King Lear can be regarded as the mirror to the society by describing the tragedy of the two families in the play, the King Lear's family and the Glouster's family.

The play is about race, lust, revenge and politics. The Elizabethan experienced a cultural blend and a fear of Africans and other foreigners. Like Dekker, Elizabethan dramatists imparted well-known contemporary prejudices and stereotypes on those of specific origin in Africa based solely on their dark skin. Elizabethan shows reinforced the image of the Moor as cruel, tyrannical and deceitful. The African Moors are portrayed to the Elizabethan expectations as being demi-devil, deceitful, lascivious, unpleasant, merciless egotist as soon as he appears. The depiction of the evil Moor contributes to Elizabethan superiority as an intrinsic right. Dekker illustrates the pervasive racism of Elizabethan Europe and the plain consequences of this institutionalized prejudice.展开更多
