We explore Chord-like ring structures for Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) and show that the Postage Stamp Problem (PSP) is equivalent to finding optimal structures for such ring topologies. We first leverage known results for that problem to design structures for ring-like DHTs that use shortest-path routing. We then describe a variant of the PSP that corresponds to ring-like DHTs that use greed...

abstract   background: traumatic or congenital events can result in injury and functional deficiency in the hand and we need to reconstruct the fingers at times. studies are available in the pediatric and adult age groups to assess the length of the thumb. but to the best our knowledge no measurement of the relative clinical length of all fingers has been reported in the literature. we performe...

bilateral finger and palm prints of 500 males and 500 females of the caucasian origin in south iran have been collected and analyzed for both qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyhic features. results show that most of the qualitative features on bilateral and bisexual differences are not significant. however, quantitative features frequently showed significant differences both bilaterally an...

In this paper a new authentication system using Finger Back Knuckle Surface is examined. This paper is intended to propose an effectual method for personal authentication using Finger Back Knuckle Surface. This method take advantage of the less number of features extracted from the Finger Back Knuckle Surface and the Angular geometric analysis is done to mine the distinguishable feature informa...

In this paper we propose the Formal Verification of existing models like in banking sector ie ATM Transaction through biometric (Finger Print) with the help of Real Time Constraint Notation. Finger print recognition is most popular and commonest method of using the biometrics. In the finger print technology, the uniqueness of epidermis of fingers is utilized for identification of user. The user...

Since computer was invented, people are using many devices to interact with computer. Initially there were keyboard, mouse etc. but with the advancement of technology, new ways are being discovered that are quite usual and natural to the humans like stylus, touch-enable systems. In the current age of technology, user is expected to touch the machine interface to give input. Hand gesture is such...

Finger Trees (Hinze and Paterson 2006) are a general purpose persistent data structure with good performance. Their genericity permits developing a wealth of structures like ordered sequences or interval trees on top of a single implementation. However, the type systems used by current functional languages do not guarantee the coherent parameterization and specialization of Finger Trees, let al...
