In order to ensure that the performance of an automatic fingerprint identification/verification
system will be robust with respect to the quality of input fingerprint images, it is essential to …

Fingerprint verification is one of the most reliable personal identification methods. However,
manual fingerprint verification is incapable of meeting today's increasing performance …

Biometrics-based verification, especially fingerprint-based identification, is receiving a lot of
attention. There are two major shortcomings of the traditional approaches to fingerprint …

Fingerprint verification is an important biometric technique for personal identification. We
describe the design and implementation of a prototype automatic identity-authentication system …

Memapsin 2 (β-secretase) is a membrane-associated aspartic protease involved in the
production of β-amyloid peptide in Alzheimer's disease and is a major target for drug design. We …

Q obvious disadvantages: tokens may be lost, stolen, forgotten, or misplaced, and a PIN may
be forgotten by a valid user or guessed by an impostor.(Surprisingly, approximately 25% of …

An automatic personal identification system based solely on fingerprints or faces is often not
able to meet the system performance requirements. We have developed a prototype …

Fingerprint classification provides an important indexing mechanism in a fingerprint database.
An accurate and consistent classification can greatly reduce fingerprint matching time for …

The effect of acetylation on the DNA binding properties of the rigidly conserved histone H4
amino-terminal tail has been studied in detail using the technique of thermal denaturation. …

This paper proposes a new quadratic stabilization condition for Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy
control systems. The condition is represented in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) …
