Face verification, though an easy task for humans, is a long-standing open research area. This is largely due to the challenging covariates, such as disguise and aging, which make it very hard to accurately verify the identity of a person. This paper investigates human and machine performance for recognizing/verifying disguised faces. Performance is also evaluated under familiarity and match/mi...

This is a commentary on the article ‘The rise of post-truth populism in pluralist liberal democracies: challenges for health policy.’ It critically examines two of its key concepts: populism and ‘post truth.’ This commentary argues that there are different types of populism, with unclear links to impacts, and that in some ways, ‘post-truth’ has resonances with arguments advanced in the period a...

Distributed virtual honeynet is an important security detection system to Worms, Botnet detection, Spam and Distributed Denial-Of-Service. The honeynet value significantly relies on the disguise capacity. The traditional deploying method is a static scheme that the configuration of honeynet is determined by security experts beforehand and unable to change after the deployment. The hackers or Bo...

Several studies reveal the option to disguise a disability in online interaction, but none sufficiently analyzes the various factors contributing to a disguise. The primary aim of this paper is to quantify the impact of social psychological factors like stigma consciousness (i.e. expectation of prejudice and discrimination in social interaction) and self-consciousness on the disguise of the rea...

An invaluable method for probing the physics of a quantum many-body spin system is mapping to noninteracting effective fermions. We find such mappings using only frustration graph G Hamiltonian H, i.e., network anticommutation relations between Pauli terms in H given basis. Specifically, when (even-hole, claw)-free, we construct an explicit free-fermion solution this structure G, even no Jordan...

within the linguistic paradigm, there is a problem that was always connected with coherence conceptions of truth: how we may, in light of the evidence available to us, raise an unconditional truth claim that aims beyond what is justified. in other words, within the linguistic paradigm, if the truth of a proposition can no longer be conceived as correspondence with something in the world, then h...

Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

whistleblowing is defined by the retaliation that those who speak out receive. why some organizations find it almost impossible not to retaliate depends more on the properties of the organization than the act of the individual whistleblower. these properties are, to greater or lesser degree, present in all organizations. not all organizations retaliate against whistleblowers, but the whistleblo...

Following the recommendations of ENFSI guideline for evaluative reporting, forensic handwriting examiners should assign a LR to evaluate their results. But when evaluating results signature analysis, how one account possibility disguise? The present paper explores three possible solutions. first option could be two values, assuming that questioned was disguised, and other it sincerely written. ...
