Super resolution of fingerprints
… with the purpose of detecting pores on fingerprints, compression of biometric data using distributed coding, and increasing the resolution of facial images with the purpose to improve performance of the face based recognition systems. This preprocessing step is of great importance since …

Evolutionary fingerprints in genome-scale networks
… about its mechanism. The quest for evolutionary fingerprints in metabolic and gene-coexpression networks is the central topic of this cumulative thesis based on four published articles. An understanding of the actual origin of life will probably remain an insoluble problem. However, one can argue …

Identifying expression fingerprints using linguistic information
… of intellectual property using expression fingerprints. Copyright law protects expression of content. Recognizing literary works for copyright protection requires identification of the expression of their content. The expression fingerprints described in this thesis use a novel set of …

Predicting Cognitive Reflection from Digital Fingerprints
While social media is beneficial in facilitating social connections and spreading knowledge on a large scale, its negative impacts — the propagation of misinformation through networks and the emergence of echo chambers in particular — are con- sequential and dangerous, inducing a more divergent …

Chemical Processing of Fingerprints on Thermal Paper
… individuals placed a total of thirty sets of fingerprints per person on thermal paper over a 10-day period. Each set of fingerprints consisted of three fingerprints on the thermal side of paper and three fingerprints on the nonthermal side of paper. During the 30 to 40-day time period, …

Thrombotic fingerprints for the enhanced prediction of thrombosis
Controlled thrombosis initiates and regulates tissue repair and remodeling in the vessel wall. Processes from heart attack to stroke, and deep vein thrombosis to pulmonary embolism, are all derived from unrestricted clotting. The frustrating aspects of these diseases lie not only in the difficulty …

Are Fingerprints Really Individualized Evidence? A Meta-Analytic Study
… academics that have challenged the legitimacy of fingerprints as a source of individualized evidence. They have also questioned the experts that analyze fingerprints and the methods they use. There have been recent cases where judges have questioned the foundation of fingerprinting and dismissed …

Thixotropic-viscoelastic rheological fingerprints in large amplitude oscillatory shear
In this work we demonstrate the use of large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) as a tool to characterize the behavior of constitutive models that exhibit both thixotropic and viscoelastic phenomena. We demonstrate this use of LAOS by first examining the strain controlled LAOS (LAOStrain) response …

Reagents for infrared chemical imaging of fingerprints on difficult surfaces
Fingerprints continue to be an important form of forensic evidence for individual identification. A number of techniques are currently available for the detection and enhancement of invisible or latent fingerprints. While these techniques perform well on many surfaces, there are a number of …

Discovering Fingerprints for Deepfake Detection and Multimedia-Enhanced Forensic Investigations
Forensic Science, which concerns the application of technical and scientific methods to justice, investigation and evidence discovery, has evolved over the years to the birth of several fields such as Multimedia Forensics, which involves the analysis of digital images, video and audio contents. …

Several new methods for the development of latent and blood fingerprints
… methods for the development of latent and blood fingerprints have been investigated as well as a preliminary appraisal of a technique for the estimation of post-mortem interval and age of blood stains. The utilisation of coordinatively-unsaturated (six-coordinate) europium and terbium complexes …

Comparison of Epidermal and Dermal Fingerprints Collected from Thiel-embalmed Bodies
Direct comparison of dermal and epidermal fingerprints can be vital to the identification of bodies where the epidermal skin layer is no longer available for fingerprinting. It has been reported that identification based on the comparison between dermal and epidermal fingerprints is possible, …

Comparison of Epidermal and Dermal Fingerprints in Elderly Individuals: a Pilot Study
… the relationship between epidermal and dermal fingerprints, there is a lack of literature detailing identifications based on the comparison of these two skin layers. It is also known that the dermis undergoes changes with increasing age and therefore the aim of present study was to investigate …

Identifying water contamination from fossil fuel development using geochemical and isotopic fingerprints
<p>Fossil fuels continue to be a major component of the energy economies in North America, accounting for 60% of electricity generation in the U.S. Recent incidences (i.e. spills) and limited regulation of the fossil fuel industry has generated public concern about the risks fossil fuel development …

Mining Rare Features in Fingerprints using Core points and Triplet-based Features
… descriptors is proposed to discover rarity in fingerprints. The algorithm uses a mathematical and statistical approach to discover rare features in fingerprints which provides scientific validation for both ten-print and latent fingerprint evidence. A feature is considered rare if it is …

The connectivity fingerprints of the frontal eye field and the inferior frontal junction
… and hypothesized that their connectivity fingerprints might underlie these roles. To accurately infer the localization of these regions in standard space, I carried out an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) fMRI meta-analysis using tasks that reliably engage these regions. Prosaccade …

Minutiae Triplet-based Features with Extended Ridge Information for Determining Sufficiency in Fingerprints
… statistically rare features or patterns in fingerprints. These features would help establish an objective minimum-quality baseline for latent prints as well as aid in the latent examination process in making a matching comparison. The proposed methodologies use minutiae triplet-based …
