Yes / Biometric authentication is the science and engineering of assessing and evaluating bioinformatics from the human body in order to increase system security by providing reliable and accurate behaviors and classifiers for personal identification and authentication. Its solutions are widely used in industries, governments, and the military. This paper reviews the multimodal biometric systems that integrated both faces and fingerprints as well as shows which one has the best accuracy and hardware complexity with the methods and databases. Several methods have been used in multimodal biometric systems such as KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), PCA (Principal Component Analysis), and so on. A multimodal biometric system for face and fingerprints that uses an FoM (Figure of Merit) to compare and show between the articles the best accuracy that have used multimodal biometric system face and fingerprints methods. The best performance has been found is 99.43% by using the cascade multimodal method. / Horizon-MSCA-RISE-2019-2023, Marie Sklodowska-Curie

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This investigation was conducted to individualize growth prediction by use of regression formulas and therefore supplement the present method of using mean incremental data obtained from case study. There were 30 normal individuals, ages 8 to 19 years, 14 males and 16 females. Based on the analysis of serial headplates, the incremental growth change for 12 variables to be used in growth prediction was calculated for each individual for each 3 year period until adulthood was reached. Cephalometric measurements, consisting of 39 variables, were made at the beginning of each 3 year period. For every age group the following information was fed into a computer: a.) The known incremental growth change for each 3 year for the 12 variables to be used in prediction. b.) The known measurements of the 39 variables at the beginning of each 3 year period. The computer selected from the 39 variables only those which best predicted the already known incremental growth change of the 12 variables to be used in prediction. A total of 101 regression formulas of a possible 108 was obtained for males, and 102 for females, with a high multiple correlation. A sign test at .05 level of confidence was used to determine if this regression formula method was significantly better than the mean incremental method presently used at Indiana University. The results showed that, in the majority of the cases, the regression method proved to be significantly better than the mean incremental method. In none of the cases was the man incremental method significantly better.

The study involved a total of 60 students with 30 in each of 2 introduction to keyboarding classes, 1 online and 1 face-toace class. The students’ t-test scores were used to determine if statistical differences existed between the two groups at the p < .05 level of significance. This research examined the impact of the mode of instruction: online versus face-toace in keyboarding and its relationship to keyboarding achievement with reference to speed, technique and accuracy. A causal comparative design was used for this study. Data for the research were collected using the skill and technique evaluations of the participants. The techniques of the students were observed by the same teacher and a score was given according to a technique rubric. The instrument used to measure speed and accuracy was a timed writing of 5-minute duration. The beginning speed for the online and face-toace classes did not show any significant difference. The ending speed was higher for the face-toace students than the ending speed for online students. Both the online group and the face-toace group increased their speeds significantly by the end of the study. The beginning technique scores for the face-toace class were significantly higher than the online class. At the end of the study, there was no difference in the technique scores of the online and face-toace class. It appears that technique can be taught in both environments with appropriate instructional materials, media, and teacher direction. The face-toace group made significantly fewer errors than the online group at both the beginning and end of the study. There was a meaningful relationship between technique and accuracy found in this study and a meaningful relationship between technique and speed. This shows that proper technique is indicative of both higher speed and fewer errors. Also, there was a meaningful relationship between GPA and speed and accuracy. It is recommended that schools offer keyboarding online because offering the class online will be meeting the needs of so many.
