Biometric identification using palm print is a reliable technology and has various advantages over other biometric traits. In this paper, the feature extraction of palm print is carried out using multi scale wavelet edge detection. The result and performance is compared with conventional edge detection techniques like Sobel and Canny methods. The experiment is carried out on a polyu database an...

PURPOSE To study the refractive outcomes of 3-port lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) for subtotal retinal detachments due to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Lens-sparing vitrectomy may provide superior refractive outcomes by limiting induced myopia of prematurity. METHODS This is a retrospective, consecutive, nonrandomized, comparative (paired eye) study. Entrance criteria were previous complet...

the study evaluated the body weight during growth (bwg), body weight at slaughter (bws), breast meat yield (bmyg), percent breast meat yield (bmy) and breast meat quality (colour and drip loss) of genetically featherless (scsc) broilers compared to their feathered sibs under hot conditions. two hundred featherless chicks and 200 feathered sibs were reared under hot conditions in two rooms (aver...

data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin isa brown and ilorin ecotypechickens. the studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...

BACKGROUND Previous studies of regional and temporal variation in U.S. breast cancer mortality rates have been confined largely to analyses of rates for white women. PURPOSE Breast cancer mortality rates from 1969 through 1992 for white women and black women in four regions of the United States and for all women throughout Canada were compared to identify racial, regional, and temporal differ...

We used a longitudinal twin design to examine the causal association between sexual, emotional, and physical abuse in childhood (before age 18) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits at age 24 using a discordant twin design and biometric modeling. Additionally, we examined the mediating and moderating effects of symptoms of childhood externalizing and internalizing disorders on the li...

Biometric Authentication systems adopt a suitable image processing technique to manipulate the biometric images. It refers to verifying a person using their biometric traits that includes physiological, biological and/or behavioral traits like iris, face, fingerprint, voice, hand writing etc. , A biometric characteristic should be unique, universal, permanent and acceptable. In this work, the t...

BACKGROUND Other patients' stories on the Internet can give patients information, support, reassurance, and practical advice. OBJECTIVES We examined which search facility for online stories resulted in patients' satisfaction and search success. METHODS This study was a randomized controlled experiment with a 2x2 factorial design conducted online. We facilitated access to 170 stories of brea...

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of genetic and non-genetic factors on body weight and carcass traits of Japanese quails. Two strains of Japanese quail (150 wild quails and 150 white quails) were used as base population. Four mating groups were used to produce progenies: wild male × wild female, white male × wild female, wild male × white female and white male × white ...
