In this paper is presented an example of the use of fractal approaches in the field of online handwriting processing. The adaptation of the box counting method to the computation of online handwriting fractal dimension is presented. The influence of different parameters is studied. This allows understanding why the value of the proposed parameter is invariant towards the tablet or the speed or ...

This paper describes a biometric method for user authentication on smart cards. Smart cards are chip cards with the ability for data processing directly on the card. They are not only usable for storing biometric reference data, but biometric user authentication methods can also be performed on card in order to protect security-relevant functions or data on the cards. The biometric data under c...

Context photography uses sensors and image processing to create a picture that is visually affected by invisible factors in the environment, such as sound and movement. The system was previously implemented on a Tablet PC, but our newest prototype runs on standard camera phones. The program uses the phone's built-in microphone and real-time image analysis to create context photographs. Having t...

PURPOSE Sublingual buprenorphine and combination buprenorphine/naloxone (BNX) are effective options for the treatment of opioid dependence. A BNX sublingual tablet approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the induction and maintenance treatment of opioid-dependence in adults was developed as a higher-bioavailability formulation, allowing for a 30% lesser dose of buprenorphine with bi...

A 6 year old girl presented with a large osteochondroma arising from the scapula. Radiographs, CT and MRI were performed to assess the lesion and to determine whether the lesion could be safely resected. A model of the scapula was created by post-processing the DICOM file and using a 3-D printer. The CT images were segmented and the images were then manually edited using a graphics tablet, and ...

Here we show real-time multiple gas identification on a mobile platform through the use of an array of nanomechanical membrane-type surface stress sensors (MSS). Commercially available hardware is used to integrate the MSS array into a portable unit with wireless capability. This unit transmits data to a consumer mobile tablet where data is displayed and processed in real-time. To achieve real-...

Metric measurement of environment has fundamental role in tasks such as interior design and plant maintenance. Conventional methods for these tasks suffer from high development cost or unstability. We propose a mobile metric perception enhancement system which focuses on interactivity through user locomotion. The proposed system overlays geometric annotations in real-time on a tablet device. Th...

Bodily activity may influence subjects’ cognitive processing against embodied cognition. Approaching positive objects and avoiding negative ones facilitate the of emotional information by enhancing valence estimation. The effect be termed “Approaching Avoiding Compatibility Effect (AACE)”. Implicit approach–avoidance behavior towards stimuli can measured using Approach–Avoidance Task (AAT). We ...

Background & Aim: Today, the use of medicinal plants has been growing because of less side effects than chemical drugs in the treatment of diseases particularly infectious diseases. According to the available scientific evidence, garlic is an effective anti-parasitic drug. In the present research will be study the inhibitory effect of garlic tablet on Limnatis nilotica. Material & Met...
