Fusion of Multiple Biometric For Photo-Attack Detection in Face Recognition Systems

A spoofing attack is a situation in which one person successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data and gaining illegitimate access. Spoofing attacks are of several types such as photograph, video or mask. Biometrics are playing the role of a password which cannot be replaced if stolen, so there is the necessity of counter-measures to biometric spoofing attacks. Face biometric systems are vulnerable to spoofing attack. Regardless of the biometric mode, the typical approach of anti-spoofing systems is to classify the biometric evidence which are based on features discriminating between real accesses and spoofing attacks. A number of biometric characteristics are in use in various applications. This system will be based on face recognition and lip movement recognition systems. This system will make use of client-specific information to build client-specific anti-spoofing solution, depending on a generative model. In this system, we will implement the client identity to detect spoofing attack. With this, it increases efficiency of authentication. The image will be captured and registered with its client identity. When user has to be authenticated, the image will be captured with his identity manually entered. Now system will check the image with respect to client identity only. Lip movement recognition will be done at time of authentication to identify whether client is spoof or not. If client is authenticated, then it will check for captured image dimension using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). This system also encrypts and decrypts a file by extracting parameter values of a registered face

Femtosecond pulsed laser direct write production of nano- and microfluidic channels

Nano- and microfluidic channels were produced by selectively delaminating 1200 nm1200nm thermally grown oxide films (SiO2)(SiO2) films from Si(100) substrates using a femtosecond pulsed laser. Single pass channels exhibiting bell-like cross sections with widths of 24 μm24μm and heights of 355 nm355nm were directly written at a speed of 1 cm/s1cm∕s, while larger channels (320 μm320μm in width and ∼ 15 μm∼15μm in height) were produced by laterally overlapping single pass channels. The results of an investigation of the interior surfaces of the channels via atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are presented.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87769/2/183113_1.pd

2023 Judge Horace J. Johnson, Jr. Lecture on Race, Law and Policy with Vanita Gupta

School of Law Dean Peter Bo Rutledge gave introductory remarks, while law faculty members Clare Norins and John Meixner co-moderated, and SPIA Dean Matthew Auer provided closing remarks. Vanita Gupta is the 19thUnited States Associate Attorney General and serves as the third-ranking official at the Department of Justice. Associate Attorney General Gupta supervises multiple litigating divisions within the Department of Justice, including the Civil Division, Civil Rights Division, Antitrust Division, Tax Division, and Environmental and Natural Resources Division. She also oversees the grant making components of the Department, including the Office of Justice Programs, the Office on Violence Against Women, and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services; and supervises the Office for Access to Justice, Office of Information Policy, the Community Relations Service, the Executive Office for United States Trustees, the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, and the Service members and Veterans Initiative. Associate Attorney General Gupta previously served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the nation’s oldest and largest coalition of non-partisan civil rights organizations in the United States. Before serving in that capacity, from October 15, 2014, to January 20, 2017, Associate Attorney General Gupta served as Acting Assistant Attorney General and Head of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. Appointed by President Barack Obama as the chief civil rights prosecutor for the United States, Associate Attorney General Gupta advanced a wide range of civil rights enforcement matters. Prior to her tenure leading the Civil Rights Division, Associate Attorney General Gupta served as Deputy Legal Director and the Director of the Center for Justice at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Knowledge and awareness of basic life support among MBBS students in tertiary care hospital in Uttar Pradesh

Background: Every medical student in India have to undergo a compulsory rotatory internship for completion of their course where they encounter various medical emergencies and apply their medical knowledge. An early encounter to a basic life support course and training will increase the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and thus the outcome of the patient. This study was designed to test knowledge of MBBS students in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Uttar Pradesh and used a preformed validated questionnaire to test awareness and knowledge of basic life support and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a sample of 500 MBBS students. Descriptive analysis was performed on the questionnaire responses. All data obtained from the questionnaire was evaluated and statistically analysed using software IBM SPSS Statistics software version 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) for MS windows.Results: With a response rate of 47% among 500 MBBS students, the mean score obtained was 2.34±1.066 out of a maximum score of five. A maximum score of 2.804±1.055 obtained by 5th-year students. Surprisingly, first-year students achieved an average score of 2.66±0.97, which was higher than that of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students. 87% of students were like-minded to participate in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) awareness program. Only 45% of students correctly answered the order of CPR as C-A-B (chest compression-airway-breathing).Conclusions: The study showed that though the awareness and importance of basic life support (BLS) are high among the medical students, the accurate knowledge required in performing BLS is inadequate. This study also showed that the National medical commission has taken a positive step in the incorporation of BLS in the curriculum

Femtosecond-laser-induced delamination and blister formation in thermal oxide films on silicon (100)

Silicon (100) substrates with thermal oxide films of varying thickness were irradiated with single and multiple 150 fs150fs laser pulses at normal and non-normal incidences. A range of laser fluence was found in which a blister or domelike feature was produced where the oxide film was delaminated from the substrate. At normal and non-normal incidences blister features were observed for samples with 54, 147, and 1200 nm1200nm of thermal oxide. The blister features were analyzed with optical and atomic force microscopy. In addition, the time frame for blister growth was obtained using pump-probe imaging techniques.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87772/2/153121_1.pd

Improvement in nitrogen use efficiency: physiological and molecular approacheses

Nitrogen deficiency in agricultural systems is a world-wide problem. It is true of the Indian scenario as well. The utilization efficiency of nitrogenous fertilizers under field conditions is poor. This results in loss of a costly input and accentuates the environmental degradation. In this paper, the present status of our knowledge on physiological and molecular approaches to improve nitrogen utilization efficiency at the level of its uptake, assimilation and relationship to photosynthesis, a major factor determining biomass and grain yield, is discussed. The work done in the authors' laboratory for over a decade is summarized. It is hoped that better understanding will help to apply the tools of molecular biology to genetically manipulate the crop plants so as to enhance yields at low inputs of nitrogen

Oil Sniffer

Capstone Design and Manufacturing Experience: Fall 2006Commercial aircraft travel can be an uncomfortable experience for some due to cabin odor. At times, the source of the problem is oil in the air supply taken from the engine compressor. The rationale for the “oil sniffer” is the need for a non-subjective method of measuring commercial aircraft cabin odor. Current particulate sensor technologies are both bulky and cost prohibitive for use during flight. This portable device will be developed by determining the acceptable limit of oil particulates in cabin air, and the feasibility of applying existing sensor technologies into the detection of oil particulates in the air.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/49561/2/ME450 Final Team 09.pd
