This study provides an application framework toward measures to prevent/control identity theft in conjunction with sources. It also identifies the impact of overall protection of identity theft on consumer trust, the cost of products/services, and operational performance, all of which in turn contribute to a purchase intention using E-commerce (EC). For the first objective, this study proposes ...

Having a work-related identity is central to being an adult in America. Going to work and engaging in prescribed work behaviors in the workplace is the usual or typical way that adults achieve worker identities. The purpose of this study, developed from an ethnography of people who make crafts at home and sell their work at craft fairs, was to examine how worker identity is constructed when ind...

Facial identity and emotional expression are two important sources of information for daily social interaction. However the link between these two aspects of face processing has been the focus of an unresolved debate for the past three decades. Three views have been advocated: (1) separate and parallel processing of identity and emotional expression signals derived from faces; (2) asymmetric pr...

The distribution of the apparent 3D shape of human faces across the view-sphere is complex, owing to factors such as variations in identity, facial expression, minor occlusions and noise. In this paper, we use the technique of Support Vector Regression to learn a model relating facial shape (obtained from 3D scanners) to 3D pose in an identity-invariant manner. The proposed method yields an est...

For an artinian ring R, the directed zero-divisor graph Γ(R) is connected if and only if there is no proper one-sided identity element in R. Sinks and sources are characterized and clarified for finite ring R, especially, it is proved that for any ring R, if there exists a source b in Γ(R) with b = 0, then |R| = 4 and R = {0, a, b, c}, where a and c are left identity elements and ba = 0 = bc. S...

Biometrics is one of the recent trends in security, which is mainly used for verification and recognition systems. By using biometrics we confirm a particular person’s claimed identity based on particular person’s physiological or behavioral characteristics such as fingerprint, face or voice etc. Most biometric systems deployed in real-world applications are unimodal, such as they use a single ...

This study investigates the assumption that disabled people want improvements in their functional abilities, or complete cures. Contrary to this assumption, many disabled activists are found to have attitudes in which they refuse treatment that promises a cure. In order to explain this attitude, different sources of disability identity are isolated as potential predictor variables. A multivaria...

One of the pillars of the Semantic Web enterprise is the idea that if people use standard names for resources (URIs), then the integration of information from different distributed sources will happen smoothly and efficiently simply by using URI identity as a key for merging RDF graphs into a single (virtual) graph. The question this paper will try to address is: how do we find and reuse an ide...
