Biometric systems were proposed and developed to provide a better and stronger factor of authentication. Such systems authenticate individuals based on physical and behavioral traits such as fingerprints, iris, face, palm print, hand geometry, voice, etc. The use of biometric traits to replace existing passwords or as access keys has proven to be highly secure against physical attacks. It is a ...

ABSTRACT The use of organic fertilizers can increase the production forest species for extraction wood from monoculture stands or integrated systems. This study aimed to evaluate effect applying doses sheep manure on biometric traits Mimosa caesalpiniifolia (‘sabiá’) in a silviculture system an area previously occupied by native degraded pasture Albaquult. experimental design was randomized blo...

Leptin plays a key role in the regulation of the energy balance in mammals. Thus, the leptin and leptin receptor are being intensively studied in these animals. However, it remains unclear whether the leptin-mediated control mechanism is conserved in nonmammalian vertebrates such as the avian. In this study, the association of the SNP LEPR A286G with carcass traits was investigated in the EMBRA...

Endocan expression has been reported to be associated with aggressive tumor progression and poor outcomes in various cancers, such as breast cancer, renal cell cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, and pituitary adenomas. However, the prognostic significance of endocan in neuroendocrine tumors remains unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between endocan expressio...

While multimodal biometric systems are considered to be more robust than unimodal ones but traditional fusion rules are more sensitive to spoofing attempts. The proposed system is designed to overcome spoofing in worst-case scenario where impostor was able to create fake biometric traits of both face and fingerprint modalities in the presented multimodal biometric system. The paper investigates...

The allocation of wood density in trees depends on many factors, but mainly the tree species. A great number studies have analysed dominant or codominant trees, only a few focused grown under canopy. We examined basic and fresh natural origin oaks growing canopy artificially planted Scots pine. major purpose work was to study different parts such as trunk branches. From total 80 we selected eig...

This article explores the potential of ICT-based biometrics for monitoring the health status of the elderly people. It departs from specific ageing and biometric traits to then focus on behavioural biometric traits like handwriting, speech and gait to finally explore their practical application in health monitoring of elderly.

Research on the role of dietary factors in breast cancer causation has focused predominantly on fat intake. While some studies have examined associations between breast cancer rates and consumption of whole milk, there has been less attention given to dairy products in general. Dairy products contain both hormones and growth factors, in addition to fat and various chemical contaminants, that ha...

With a number of emerging applications requiring biometric recognition of children (e.g., tracking child vaccination schedules, identifying missing children and preventing newborn baby swaps in hospitals), investigating the temporal stability of biometric recognition accuracy for children is important. The persistence of recognition accuracy of three of the most commonly used biometric traits (...
