개인 식별 연구는 보안, 감시 시스템에서 중요한 부분이다. 최선의 성능을 가진 시스템을 설계하기 위하여 감지기들로부터 최대 정보를 이용할 수 있도록 설계한다. 다양한 생체 인식 시스템은 등록, 확인, 또는 개인 식별을 위하여 생리 특성이나 행동 특성을 하나이상 활용한다. 발걸음 인식만을 가지고는 아직 개인별 변별적 특징을 안정적으로 나타내지 못하므로, 본 논문에서는 얼굴과 발걸음을 결합한 개인 식별 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 한 개의 카메라를 이용한다. 즉, 얼굴과 발걸음 인식 모두 하나의 카메라를 이용하여 획득된 같은 이미지 셋을 사용한다. 본 논문의 중점은 이미지들에서 이용할 수 있는 최대 정보량을 활용하는 것으로 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 것이다. 결합은 결정 단계에서 고려된다. 제안된 알고리듬은 NLPR 데이터베이스를 사용한다. Identification of humans from multiple view points is an important task for surveillance and security purposes. For optimal performance the system should use the maximum information available from sensors. Multimodal biometric systems are capable of utilizing more than one physiological or behavioral characteristic for enrollment, verification, or identification. Since gait alone is not yet established as a very distinctive feature, this paper presents an approach to fuse face and gait for identification. In this paper we will use the single camera case i.e. both the face and gait recognition is done using the same set of images captured by a single camera. The aim of this paper is to improve the performance of the system by utilizing the maximum amount of information available in the images. Fusion in considered at decision level. The proposed algorithm is tested on the NLPR database.

Iraq is expected to face a major problem in water scarcity, especially in the near term because of climate change and foreign policies of neighbor countries as well. Therefore, the focus has been on minimizing the depletion of water within the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and their sources, especially in the field of agriculture, as one of the solutions is hydroponics system as a modern systems in Iraq by can reduce the irrigation water by almost half. Hydroponic mean the process that cultivated of plants in water without soil, by mixing salts with water to form a nutrient solution. Hydroponics can be divided into two main parts: open system and closed system. The open system uses the nutrient solution once, is discarded, and cannot be reused again. In the closed system, the nutritious solution is reused again after adding a few nutrients as compensation for the lack of consumption rather than replacing the solution. This experiment reinforces the possibility of reusing the nutrient solution while managing the changes that occur in the nutritious solution. By using solar distillation technology in combination with hydroponics, the water irrigation used for agriculture can be reduced further compared to other systems that are more expensive and require significant maintenance. Distillation system are several processes to remove impurities, salts and heavy metals from improper water and convert them into potable water and other essential uses and industrial .in small and simple uses solar water still can be used because of cheap costs especially in Iraq and west-Indian Islands, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia. However, this system has not been used in a wide range because of the low productivity of water extracted from it. In this experiment, an amount of (740 ml/ cm²) of pure water was obtained by using 2 liters brackish water in summer season. In addition, some factors have been studied to help increase productivity such as plastic cover and glass cover, use insulation material or not, effect of the difference of water depth on production, and the effect of high and Low temperature.

In this study, an additive-free self-crosslinking technique was optimized to prepare pervaporation desalinationmembranes for brine treatment. MXene-coated membranes that were about 100 nm thick weresynthesized using the facile vacuum filtration technique. The MXene nanosheets were then crosslinkedat different temperatures from 25 C to 180 C, inspired by weight loss through thermogravimetric analysis. The MXene membrane self-crosslinked at 140 ℃ (M140) proved to be the optimal membrane interms of the permselectivity of brine with a stable d-spacing of 1.43 nm in distilled water and 1.48 nmin a 10 wt% NaCl solution. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopyrevealed TiAOATi bond formation induced by reverse hydrolysis of MXene, leading to increasedsurface roughness and decreased swelling tendency. M140 generated a permeation flux of 70 kg m-2h1with salt rejection up to 99.9 % for 100 g/L of NaCl solution at a feed temperature of 70 C. Furthermore,M140, tested with simulated brine for a 48 h operation test, showed successful suppression of salt transporton the permeate side, while maintaining 50 kg m-2h1 flux and 99.9 % salt rejection. M140 is recommendedfor pervaporation desalination, where a high salinity feed is expected.

Telomere Biology in Mood Disorders: An Updated, Comprehensive Review of the Literature

Ather Muneer,Fareed Aslam Minhas 대한정신약물학회 2019 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.17 No.3

Major psychiatric disorders are linked to early mortality and patients afflicted with these ailments demonstrate an increased risk of developing physical diseases that are characteristically seen in the elderly. Psychiatric conditions like major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia may be associated with accelerated cellular aging, indicated by shortened leukocyte telomere length (LTL), which could underlie this connection. Telomere shortening occurs with repeated cell division and is reflective of a cell’s mitotic history. It is also influenced by cumulative exposure to inflammation and oxidative stress as well as the availability of telomerase, the telomere-lengthening enzyme. Precariously short telomeres can cause cells to undergo senescence, apoptosis or genomic instability; shorter LTL correlates with compromised general health and foretells mortality. Important data specify that LTL may be reduced in principal psychiatric illnesses, possibly in proportion to exposure to the ailment. Telomerase, as measured in peripheral blood monocytes, has been less well characterized in psychiatric illnesses, but a role in mood disorder has been suggested by preclinical and clinical studies. In this manuscript, the most recent studies on LTL and telomerase activity in mood disorders are comprehensively reviewed, potential mediators are discussed, and future directions are suggested. An enhanced comprehension of cellular aging in psychiatric illnesses could lead to their re-conceptualizing as systemic ailments with manifestations both inside and outside the brain. At the same time this paradigm shift could identify new treatment targets, helpful in bringing about lasting cures to innumerable sufferers across the globe.

A Noise Robust Gait Representation: Motion Energy Image

이희성,홍성준,Imran Fareed Nizami,김은태 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2009 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.7 No.4

Gait-based human identification aims to discriminate individuals by the way they walk. A unique advantage of gait as a biometric is that it requires no subject contact and is easily acquired at a distance, which stands in contrast to other biometric techniques involving face, fingerprints, iris, etc. This paper proposes a new gait representation called motion energy image (MEI). Compared with other gait features, MEI is more robust against noise that can be included in binary gait silhouette images due to various factors. The effectiveness of the proposed method for gait recognition is demonstrated using experiments performed on the NLPR database.

Thermal stress effects on microtubules based on orthotropic model: Vibrational analysis

Taj, Muhammad,Khadimallah, Mohamed A.,Hussain, Muzamal,Fareed, Khurram,Safeer, Muhammad,Khedher, Khaled Mohamed,Ahmad, Manzoor,Naeem, M. Nawaz,Qazaq, Amjad,Qahtani, Abdelaziz Al,Mahmoud, S.R.,Alwabli, Techno-Press 2021 Advances in concrete construction Vol.11 No.3

Vibration of protein microtubules is investigated based upon Orthotropic Elastic Shell Model, considering the effect of thermal stresses. The complete analytical formulas of thermal vibration for microtubules are obtained. It is observed that the effects of thermal stresses on the vibrational frequency mode are more significant when the longitudinal and circumferential wave vectors are large enough. But when the length of wave vector reduces to 5 nm, these effects have no significant effects. The present results well agree with the lattice vibrations of microtubules. Moreover, the results show that the effects of thermal stresses due to small change in temperature are not so significant but with the increase in temperature its effects are obvious.

Paraboloid Structured Silicon Surface for Enhanced Light Absorption: Experimental and Simulative Investigations

Khan, Firoz,Baek, Seong-Ho,Kaur, Jasmeet,Fareed, Imran,Mobin, Abdul,Kim, Jae Hyun Springer US 2015 NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS Vol.10 No.1

<P>In this paper, we present an optical model that simulates the light trapping and scattering effects of a paraboloid texture surface first time. This model was experimentally verified by measuring the reflectance values of the periodically textured silicon (Si) surface with the shape of a paraboloid under different conditions. A paraboloid texture surface was obtained by electrochemical etching Si in the solution of hydrofluoric acid, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and deionized (DI) water. The paraboloid texture surface has the advantage of giving a lower reflectance value than the hemispherical, random pyramidal, and regular pyramidal texture surfaces. In the case of parabola, the light can be concentrated in the direction of the Si surface compared to the hemispherical, random pyramidal, and regular pyramidal textured surfaces. Furthermore, in a paraboloid textured surface, there can be a maximum value of 4 or even more by anisotropic etching duration compared to the hemispherical or pyramidal textured surfaces which have a maximum <I>h</I>/<I>D</I> (depth and diameter of the texture) value of 0.5. The reflectance values were found to be strongly dependent on the <I>h</I>/<I>D</I> ratio of the texture surface. The measured reflectance values were well matched with the simulated ones. The minimum reflectance value of ~4 % was obtained at a wavelength of 600 nm for an <I>h</I>/<I>D</I> ratio of 3.75. The simulation results showed that the reflectance value for the <I>h</I>/<I>D</I> ratio can be reduced to ~0.5 % by reducing the separations among the textures. This periodic paraboloidal structure can be applied to the surface texturing technique by substituting with a conventional pyramid textured surface or moth-eye antireflection coating.</P>
