Update on the INCITS W1.1 Standard for Evaluating the Colour Rendition of Printing Systems

Summary of NIST Patriot Act Recommendations

1. One-to-One Matching (Verification) -NIST recommends one face and two index fingerprints for verification. All three biometrics should be in image form. The face image should conform to the ANSI/INCITS 385-2004 standard. The fingerprint images should conform to the ANSI/INCITS 381-2004 standard with 500 dots per inch (dpi) scan resolution. 2. One-to-Many Matching (Identification) -NIST recomm...

W1.1 Subgroup on MicroUniformity Update

INCITS W1 is the U.S. representative of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC28, the standardization committee for office equipment. In September 2000, INCITS W1 was chartered to develop an appearance-based image quality standard. (2) The resulting W1.1 project is based on a proposal that perceived image quality could be described by a small set of broad-based attributes. There are currently five ad hoc W1.1 teams, ...

Unnecessary repeated total cholesterol tests in biochemistry laboratory

INTRODUCTION We aimed to determine the number of repeated cholesterol (RC) tests and the ratio of unnecessary-repeated cholesterol (URC) tests among patients admitted to Pamukkale University Hospital (Denizli, Turkey) and provide solutions to avoid URC testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total cholesterol (T-cholesterol) tests (N = 86,817) between June 2014 and May 2015 were evaluated. The tests p...

Mond and the Universal Rotation Curve: Similar Phenomenologies

The Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and the Universal Rotation Curve (URC) are two ways to describe the general properties of rotation curves, with very different approaches concerning dark matter and gravity. Phenomenological similarities between the two approaches are studied by looking for properties predicted in one framework that are also reproducible in the other one. First, we looked ...
