Biometric authentication is a promising solution for secure authentication. However, the storage of biometric data may lead to security and privacy problems. A Helper Data System (HDS) is introduced to solve these problems. HDS offers the capability to extract information from noisy data while maintaining the confidentiality. There are two types of HDS, which are Fuzzy Extractor (FE) and Secure...

The experiment was investigated to survey of yield and yield components of sunflower cultivars under drought stress in 2012 in Kabootatabad of Esfahan farm. An experiment was conducted in split plot and was designed in randomized complete block with three replications. Irrigation was as main plots in 3 levels (control (normal irrigation), irrigation of 130 mm evaporation from pan evaporation, i...

Acknowledgements I thank my supervisor, Doc. RNDr. Roman Barták, Ph.D., for his patient guidance and for his critical comments that helped me make this thesis better. I thank my parents for their continuous support through the work on this thesis and through all my studies. I hereby declare that I have written this diploma thesis on my own and solely with the use of cited references. I agree wi...

Electric vehicles introduce new problems in vehicle route planning. Due to limited battery capacity the fastest route from origin to destination is not always feasible. Existing techniques compute the energy optimal route, however this route is often too conservative in terms of travel time. Optimizing both energy consumption and travel time may allow us to identify routes which are both fast a...

The term ‘Master Data’ brings up different interpretations and connotations, especially with vendors espousing the “single version of the truth”. Is there a single version of the truth? Practical realities suggest that we need to continue to live with existing versions – at least until the “single version” is reached. So how do we handle the co-existence of “multiple versions” of the truth? Thi...

The percepts known variously as the line motion illusion, motion induction, and transformational apparent motion have attracted a great deal of experimental interest, since they sensitively probe interactions between preattentive and attentive vision processes. The present article develops a neural model that qualitatively explains essentially all the data reported thus far, and quantitatively ...
