The Computer Vision Research Lab at the University of Notre Dame began collecting iris images in the spring semester of 2004. The initial data collections used an LG 2200 iris imaging system for image acquisition. Image datasets acquired in 2004-2005 at Notre Dame with this LG 2200 have been used in the ICE 2005 and ICE 2006 iris biometric evaluations [1,2]. The ICE 2005 iris image dataset has ...

Since time immemorial, human beings have made use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are distributed widely in nature. LAB has traditionally been employed to produce fermented milk products, including yoghurt, leiben, dahi, lassi, shrikhand, kefir and koumiss (Miyazaki and Matsuzaki, 2008). Milk, although a rich growth medium, contains low concentration of free amino acids and peptides to eff...
