Protection of biometric data and templates is a crucial issue for the security of biometric systems This paper proposes new security architecture for protection of face templates using visual cryptography and chaotic image encryption. The use of visual cryptography is explored to preserve the privacy of biometric image by decomposing each private face image into two independent public host imag...

sam shepard is one of the foremost living american playwrights. he has always been concerned with the problem of identity, specifically the fragmented identity of man living in the postmodern era. such characterization is evident in his plays: true west, fool for love, and a lie of the mind. thus, the present article is to demonstrate the fragmented identity of lee and austin, eddie and may, an...

BACKGROUND The ATP7A gene encodes the ATP7A protein, which is a trans-Golgi network copper transporter expressed in the brain and other organs. Mutations in this gene cause disorders of copper metabolism, such as Menkes disease. Here we describe the novel and unusual mutation (p.T1048I) in the ATP7A gene of a child with Menkes disease. The mutation affects a conserved DKTGT1048 phosphorylation ...

This study aims to bridge two research streams that have evolved relatively apart from each other, namely the research streams on organisational identity and on employer branding (employer image). In particular, we posit that it is crucial to examine which factors company outsiders (applicants) as well as company insiders (employees) associate with a given employer. To this end, this study uses...

Both the amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal domains of IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 are believed to contribute to high-affinity IGF binding. To investigate cooperativity in IGF binding by these domains, we expressed IGFBP-3 fragments 1-88 (NBP-3) and 185-264 (CBP-3) as FLAG and hexahistidine-tagged fusion proteins, respectively. IGF-I and IGF-II bound to NBP-3 poorly and to CBP-3 with modera...

The major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (Lhcb1,2) of photosystem II is inserted into the thylakoid via the signal recognition particle dependent pathway. However, the mechanism by which the protein enters the membrane is at this time unknown. In order to define some topographical restrictions for this process, we constructed several recombinant derivatives of Lhcb1 carrying h...
