Can Identical Twins be Discriminated Based on Fingerprints?
Reliable and accurate identification of people is extremely important in a number of business transactions as well as access to privileged information. Automatic identification methods based on physical biometric characteristics such as fingerprint or iris can provide positive identification with a very high accuracy. However, the biometrics-based methods assume that the physical characteristic...
متن کاملHow Different Can Two Intersecting Families Be?
To measure the difference between two intersecting families F ,G ⊆ 2[n] we introduce the quantity D(F ,G) = |{(F,G) : F ∈ F , G ∈ G, F ∩ G = ∅}|. We prove that if F is k-uniform and G is l-uniform, then for large enough n and for any i 6= j Fi = {F ⊆ [n] : i ∈ F, |F | = k} and Fj = {F ⊆ [n] : j ∈ F, |F | = l} form an optimal pair of families (that is D(F ,G) ≤ D(Fi,Fj) for all uniform and inter...
متن کاملCortical processing of near-threshold tactile stimuli: an MEG study.
In the present study we tested the applicability of a paired-stimulus paradigm for the investigation of near-threshold (NT) stimulus processing in the somatosensory system using magnetoencephalography. Cortical processing of the NT stimuli was studied indirectly by investigating the impact of NT stimuli on the source activity of succeeding suprathreshold test stimuli. We hypothesized that corti...
متن کاملSomatosensory activation of two fingers can be discriminated with ultrahigh-density diffuse optical tomography
Topographic non-invasive near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become a well-established tool for functional brain imaging. Applying up to 100 optodes over the head of a subject, allows achieving a spatial resolution in the centimeter range. This resolution is poor compared to other functional imaging tools. However, recently it was shown that diffuse optical tomography (DOT) as an extension of...
متن کاملCan non-local correlations be discriminated in polynomial time?
In view of the importance of quantum non-locality in cryptography, quantum computation and communication complexity, it is crucial to decide whether a given correlation exhibits non-locality or not. In the light of a theorem by Pitowski, it is generally believed that this problem is computationally intractable. In this paper, we first prove that the Euclidean distance of given correlations from...
