Large scale biometrics projects rely on capturing images/signal from multiple sensors. For example, in India’s Aadhaar project, multiple fingerprint sensors of different make and model are used for data collection. Similarly, in law enforcement applications, different agencies use different fingerprint sensors. These scenarios cause two potential problems: (i) sensor inter-operability and (ii) ...

This work proposes a contribution aiming at probabilistic model estimation, in the setting of distributed, decentralized, data-sharing computer systems. Such systems are developing over the internet, and also exist as sensor networks, for instance. Our general goal consists in estimating a probability distribution over a data set which is distributed into subsets located on the nodes of a distr...

The Upper Jurassic Galice Formation and parts of its 164 to 162 Ma Josephine ophiolite basement, both of the western Klamath terrane (WKT) have been suggested to constitute lower grade equivalents of the Condrey Mountain Schist (CMS) . The high P/T CMS is exposed through a window within the Rattlesnake Creek terrane (RCT) which has been thrust westward over the WKT. The Ga lice-CMS correlation ...

The Meatiq basement, which is exposed beneath late Proterozoic nappes of supracrustal rocks in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, was affected by three metamorphic events. The ophiolite cover nappes show only the last metamorphic overprint. The M1 metamorphic event (T≥750 °C) is restricted to migmatized amphibolite xenoliths within the Um Ba∞anib orthogneiss in the structurally lowest parts o...

Sheeted dike complexes, in which dike intrudes dike without intermediate screens of gabbro or pillow lava, have long been considered key features of oceanic lithosphere and ophiolites formed in extensional environments. The presence of a sheeted complex implies an approximate balance between spreading rate and magma supply, such that there is just enough melt to fill newly formed fractures prod...

In hyperalkaline () fluids that have participated in low-temperature (<150) serpentinization reactions, the dominant form of C is often methane (), but origin this uncertain. To assess serpentinite aquifers within Samail Ophiolite, Oman, we determined fluid chemical compositions, analyzed taxonomic profiles fluid-hosted microbial communities, and measured isotopic compositions hydrocarbon gases...
