Automatic systems for matching facial sketch images from the police mug shot database are very important for law enforcement agencies. These systems can help to locate or narrow down potential suspects. In this work, we deal the problem of face recognition through forensic sketches with focus on the Eigentransformation method and Local feature-based discriminant analysis (LFDA). The Eigentrasfo...

We review our recent contributions on shot noise for entangled electrons and spin-polarized currents in novel mesoscopic geometries. We first discuss some of our recent proposals for electron entanglers involving a superconductor coupled to a double dot in the Coulomb blockade regime, a superconductor tunnel-coupled to Luttinger-liquid leads, and a triple-dot setup coupled to Fermi leads. We br...

Research skills are one of the that need to be built for students face challenges 21st Century. Therefore, this study aims build research through Collaborative Real-World Analysis (CReW-A) learning model. This uses One-Shot Case Study design. Respondents came from 21 Physics Education who were grouped into seven groups. observed using a 5-point Likert rating scale observation sheet. Students an...

This paper reviews the Quake-Catcher Network (QCN), a distributed computing seismic network that uses lowcost USB accelerometers to record earthquakes, and discusses the potential to incorporate QCN stations with traditional seismic networks. These very dense urban networks could then be used to create a working earthquake early warning system, as has been shown by our preliminary tests of the ...

Shot putting is an important component of track and field events and the throwing distance (s, m) is the greatest concern of coaches and athletes. There are mainly three major factors affecting throwing distance: the initial velocity (v, m/s), release angle (A, °) and release height (h, m) in shot push. So far, it is common to use the physical kinematics knowledge in the research of shot puttin...

There has been renewed interest in the physics of the so-called ‘crossover’ for current fluctuations in mesoscopic conductors, most recently involving the possibility of its appearance in the passage to the macroscopic limit. Shot noise is normally absent from solid-state conductors in the large, and its anomalous resurgence there has been ascribed to a rich interplay of drift, diffusion, and C...

Multimedia is going more and more popular day by day and the major reason is the rapid advancement in technology and continuous reduction in price. Boundless amount of data in all media formats are now available locally in our own computers and online over the internet, most of these are however unorganized and scattered. There is an emerging need of classification, summarization and indexing o...

While the cognitive, perceptual, and emotional capacities of humans and apes share much in common (e.g. there is a core set of abilities that makes humans fundamentally different from apes and other animals in kind, not just in degree. There are no documented cases of other animals dancing to rhythmic sounds, intentionally producing art, or spontaneously generating and manipulating meaningful s...

Experimental studies of choice behavior document distinct, and sometimes contradictory, deviations from maximization. For example, people tend to overweight rare events in 1-shot decisions under risk, and to exhibit the opposite bias when they rely on past experience. The common explanations of these results assume that the contradicting anomalies reflect situation-specific processes that invol...
