Abstract
A method using local features to assess the quality of
an image, with demonstration in biometrics, is proposed.
Recently, image quality awareness has been found to increase
recognition rates and to support decisions in multimodal
authentication systems significantly. Nevertheless,
autom ....etc

Liquefaction and related phenomena have been responsible for tremendous amounts of damage in historical earthquake around the world. Especially, its devastating effects sprang to the attention of geotechnical engineers in a three-month period in 1964 when the Niigata earthquake in Japan followed the Good Friday earthquake in Alaska. Evaluation of liquefaction resistance of soils is an important step in many geotechnical investigations in earthquake-liable region. The most common procedure around the world for evaluating liquefaction resistance ....etc

Psycho Physiological Credibility Assessment
INTRODUCTION
Lies are part of human life! People often tell lies to deceive others. many of us have heard about lie detector ,some where seen in movies or read it in fiction stories. Does anything of this sort really exist? If yes, does it really detect lies? Yes it does. The first thing that comes to our mind is how an instrument with some electronic components can read out our mind. Though science and technology are growing at the speed of light, has it reached a stage where ....etc

An environmental, economic and practical assessment of bambooas a building material for supporting structures


Introduction
1.1. Sustainability as a selection criterion for building
materials
Building materials are commonly selected through
functional, technical and financial requirements. However,
with sustainability as a key issue in the last decades,
especially in western countries, the environmental load of
building materials has also become a more important criterion.

This paper deals with the application of artificial neural network to the transient stability assessment of a power system. The backpropagation technique is used to train the neural networks. The use of artificial neural network for computing critical clearing time and transient energy margin for a machine infinite bus system has been illustrated. In our enthusiastic investigations we found the ideas here proposed for a single machine will be the pioneer for extension of the same to the assessment of multi machine stability.
