Large scale biometrics projects rely on capturing images/signal from multiple sensors. For example, in India’s Aadhaar project, multiple fingerprint sensors of different make and model are used for data collection. Similarly, in law enforcement applications, different agencies use different fingerprint sensors. These scenarios cause two potential problems: (i) sensor inter-operability and (ii) ...

This work proposes a contribution aiming at probabilistic model estimation, in the setting of distributed, decentralized, data-sharing computer systems. Such systems are developing over the internet, and also exist as sensor networks, for instance. Our general goal consists in estimating a probability distribution over a data set which is distributed into subsets located on the nodes of a distr...

In the Hallstatt salt mine (Austria), polyhalite rocks occur in 0.5-1 m thick and several metre long tectonic lenses within the protocataclasite to protomylonite matrix of the Alpine Haselgebirge Fm.. Thin section analysis of Hallstatt polyhalites reveals various fabric types similar to metamorphic rocks of crust-forming minerals, e.g. quartz and feldspar. Polyhalite microfabrics from Hallstatt...
