Recently, a cryptographic construct, called fuzzy vault, has been proposed for cryptobiometric systems, and some implementations for fingerprint have been reported to protect the stored fingerprint template by hiding the fingerprint features. Also, solutions to the most challenging issue in applying the fuzzy vault to fingerprint have been proposed. One of the solutions exploits the idea of the...

In wheat, flag leaf, stem, chaff and awns contribute to grain filling through photosynthesis and/or re-mobilization. Environmental and genetic effects on the relative contribution of each organ were examined by analyzing the consequences of sink-source manipulations (shading and excision) and by comparing carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) values in dry matter (at maturity) and sap (two weeks af...

Fingerprint minutiae based biometric systems attract significant amount of attention as a secure user authentication method. In these systems, protecting the privacy of fingerprint templates plays a very important role in improving user’s acceptance upon providing their fingerprint information. However, due to the non-exact reproducible problem fingerprint minutiae templates can’t be protected ...

Cellular Automata are a powerful formal model for describing physical and computational processes. Qualitative analysis of Cellular Automata is in general a hard problem. In this paper we will investigate the applicability of modern SAT solvers to this problem. For this purpose we will define an encoding of reachability problems for Cellular Automata into SAT. The encoding is built in a modular...

We present a way to enjoy the power of SAT and SMT provers in Coq without compromising soundness. This requires these provers to return not only a yes/no answer, but also a proof witness that can be independently rechecked. We present such a checker, written and fully certified in Coq. It is conceived in a modular way, in order to tame the proofs’ complexity and to be extendable. It can current...

background : chaff cutter, a commonly used fodder cutter machine in rural parts of india is responsible for a significant number of agricultural-related accidents. mostly, these accidents lead to amputation of the upper extremities and the fatal injuries are extremely rare. case report: this article presents a very unusual case of fatal head injury and crush injury to right leg sustained by a f...

This article presents the study of significant factors influence on pelletizing process soybean chaff. The aim research was to determine operating modes screw providing chaff pellets output with a crumbling not more than 12% at optimum temperature 70 — 80°C. To - such as flight step, rotation speed, moisture pelletizing, well optimal values variation these factors, search experiments were condu...

Network attackers frequently use a chain of compromised intermediate nodes to attack a target machine and maintain anonymity. This chain of nodes between the attacker and the target is called a stepping stone chain. Various algorithms have been proposed to detect stepping stones, timing correlation based algorithms being one of them. However, the existing timing based algorithms are susceptible...
