This paper presents an iris recognition method based on the Morlet wavelet transform real coefficients. Firstly, it locates the iris, then makes normalization to the iris image and gets 512 columns multiplying 64 rows rectangular iris image, ensures the effective iris area. Secondly, it makes one dimension Morlet wavelet transform row by row to the iris image in the effective iris area, gets a ...

Iris belongs toIridaceae family and it is monocotyledon. Iris is one of the important ornamental and medicinal plants. 34 iris genotypes (14 species) collected from different provinces of Iran were planted at National Institute of Ornamental Plants (NIOP) Iran. All of the species evaluated for 15 quantitative traits and 30 qualitative traits. Results showed that the highest positive correlation...

Antigen processing in B lymphocytes entails initial binding of antigen to the surface Ig and internalization of the antigen into acidic compartments where the antigen is degraded, releasing peptides for binding to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules. Using subcellular fractionation techniques we show that functional, processed antigen-class II complexes capable of activating ant...

We relate the unfolding of a protein to its loss of structural stability or rigidity. Rigidity and flexibility are well defined concepts in mathematics and physics, with a body of theorems and algorithms that have been applied successfully to materials, allowing the constraints in a network to be related to its deformability. Here we simulate the weakening or dilution of the noncovalent bonds d...

PURPOSE This study was performed to examine the vascular network of the human iris using flat preparation. METHODS The ciliary body-iris structures were separated from human eyeballs, and a portion of the irises were treated with trypsin to remove the pigment granules. These iris tissues were unfolded and placed onto glass slides using flat preparation, and the vascular network of each iris w...

Iris recognition has received increasing attentions due to its distinct characteristics in recent years. An efficient approach for iris feature extraction plays a very important role in an iris recognition system. In this paper, we developed a novel method for iris feature extraction utilizing the Intersecting Cortical Model (ICM) network which is a simplified model of Pulse-Coupled Neural Netw...

Iris masks are essential in iris recognition. The purpose of having a good iris mask is to indicate which part of iris texture map is useful and which part is occluded or contains noisy artifacts such as eyelashes, eyelids and specular re ections. The accuracy of the iris mask is extremely important. The performance of the iris recognition system will decrease dramatically when iris mask is ina...
