Insulin action on glucose transport and metabolism was studied in paraovarian adipocytes from 3-month-old female rats and compared with insulin action in epididymal adipocytes from closely age-matched males. At maximal insulin concentrations the stimulations of 2-deoxyglucose uptake (4-fold the basal value) and of [U-14C]glucose incorporation into CO2 and total lipids (3- and 2-fold the basal v...

Identity verification becomes a challenging task when it has to be automated with high accuracy and non-repudiability. The existing methods such as passwords and photo identity cards are inadequate to meet such heavy demands. Automated biometrics-based authentication methods can meet all the demands. An overview of the fast developing and exciting area of automated biometrics is provided in thi...

Two cases of epididymal sarcoidosis, presenting as scrotal masses, are described. Biopsies of the epididymis and scalene nodes established the diagnosis. The literature of epididymal sarcoid and its differential diagnosis is discussed.

The testing and evaluation of biometrics is a complex and difficult task. The difficulties in such an endeavor include the selection of the number and type of individuals that will that will participate in this process of testing. Determining the amount of data to be collected is another important factor in this process. Choosing an appropriate set of individuals from which to collect biometric...

Apart from making the authentication system reliable, biometric systems reduce the time required for authentication considerably at the airports, borders, and government offices. The paper presents a survey of the unimodal biometric methods that are currently available, and other hybrid forms of biometrics that can be used for security purposes. Some of the latest forms of biometrics that are s...

In this paper we introduce the idea of using behavioral biometrics in intrusion detection applications. We present a new biometrics-based technique, which can be used to detect intrusion without the need for any special hardware implementation and without forcing the user to perform any special actions. The technique is based on using “keystroke dynamics” and “mouse dynamics” biometrics. We dis...

-In this present era, system and network technology is considered as a key tool for a wide variety of applications. Network security affects many organizations, and it becomes one of the major tasks. Biometric is one of the most secure and suitable authentication tools. By using biometrics in a correct way, many problems can be solved by using user identification and passwords. This paper analy...
