The state-of-the-art fingerprint matching systems achieve high accuracy on good quality fingerprints. However, degraded fingerprints obtained due to poor skin conditions of subjects or around a crime scene often have noisy background and ridge structure. Such pose problem for the existing recognition systems. This paper presents restoration model that reconstructs binarized image with an improv...

Climate variability has profound effects on vegetation. Spatial distributions of vegetation vulnerability that comprehensively consider sensitivity and resilience are not well understood in China. Furthermore, the combination cumulative climate a one-month-lagged autoregressive model represents an advance technical approach for calculating sensitivity. In this study, spatiotemporal characterist...

the discharge of total suspended sediments (tss) and dissolved nutrients from watersheds into receiving waters is a serious problem when natural vegetation is degraded by agriculture or overgrazing. this study was conducted in soolegan watershed to investigate land use change and overgrazing effects on phosphorus loss (dissolved & particulate), particle size associated loss of p and effect of t...
