Sharing similar genetic traits makes the investigation of twins an important study in forensics and biometrics. Fingerprints are one of the most commonly found types of forensic evidence. The similarity between twins’ prints is critical establish to the reliability of fingerprint identification. We present a quantitative analysis of the discriminability of twin fingerprints on a new data set (2...

Dermatoglyphics, the study of palm prints are the patterns of the ridged skin of the digits, palms & soles, which are constant and individualistic. Dermatoglyphic study of finger tip & palmer patterns had been done extensively in various genetic and metabolic disorders. The present study is carried out to see the co-relation between the interdigital patterns and ABO blood groups. The study incl...

BACKGROUND Inexpensive screening tools are needed to identify individuals predisposed to developing diabetes mellitus (DM). Such early identification coupled with an effective intervention could help many people avoid the substantial health costs of this disease. We investigated the hypothesis that fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in fingerprints is an indicator of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). ...

Over the years, access control systems have become more and more sophisticated and several security measures have been employed to combat the menace of insecurity of lives and property. This is done by preventing unauthorized entrance into buildings through entrance doors using conventional and electronic locks, discrete access code, and biometric methods such as the finger prints, thumb prints...

Introduction: Identification whether of living person or dead bodies have always been an uphill task for forensic experts. Traditional ways identification are used commonly due to limited resources and lack trained personals in the relevant field. becomes very important when victim assailant is unknown. To establish identification, methods finger prints, foot DNA technology. Lip prints a relati...

Background: Dermatoglyphics are the dermal ridge configurations on the digits, palms and soles. Dermatoglyphic polymorphism results from the co-operation of genetic and environmental factors. The Dermatoglyphic analysis is a valuable completion of initial diagnosis of some syndromes genetically determined. Our objective was to assess dermatoglyphics study results against standard chromosomal an...

Blomeke, C.R., Rusk, C.P., Balschweid, M.A., & Elliott, S.J. The purpose of this study was to evaluate retinal imaging technology as a means of permanent identification of 4-H beef and sheep projects. The specific objectives of this study were to compare the time required to collect a retinal image versus a nose print, and to determine the false match and false non-match rate of visual verifica...

CONTEXT Palm prints formed once does not change throughout life and is not influenced by environment. Palmar Dermatoglyphics can indicate the development of potentially malignant and malignant lesions and help in identifying persons at high risk of developing Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSSC). AIM To analyze the qualitative [finger ridge pattern and presen...
