Outline: Biometrics refers to the science of recognizing individuals based on their physical, physiological or behavioral traits such as face, fingerprints, iris, gait and voice etc. In last few decades, a number of biometric solutions are incorporated in various access control and identity management applications, such as laptops and border control systems. Human identification methods based on credentials, such as identification documents and PIN, cannot meet the growing demand for security in applications such as ID cards, border crossings, and access control. As a result, recognition methods based on physiological and behavioral characteristics are increasingly adopted to enforce person identification applications. However, biometric systems that are based on a single trait often suffer from limitations such as lack of invariant representation, non-universality, noisy sensor data, lack of individuality of the biometric trait and susceptibility to circumvention. There are still several challenging problems in improving the accuracy, robustness, efficiency, security, privacy and ergonomics of multibiometric systems.

Outline: Image processing is processing of images using mathematical operations by using any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, a series of images, or a video, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it. Images are also processed as three-dimensional signals with the third-dimension being time or the z-axis. Image processing usually refers to digital image processing, but optical and analog image processing also are possible. Biometrics, on the other hand, refers to automatic recognition of people based on their distinctive anatomical or behavioral characteristics such as face, fingerprint, iris, retina, hand geometry, voice.

Outline: Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) has recently become a prominent area of research in the field of acoustic communications. Acoustic waves are the most accurate means of achieving adequate transmission range and data rate in underwater communications. New progresses achieved in UWSN communications make reliable data transmission across several meters conceivable. Many studies have been investigated on developing networking solutions for underwater networks, including acoustic channel modeling and physical layer transmission analysis as well as networking protocols. In radio channels, path loss depends on link length; whereas acoustic waves in underwater experience both frequency and link length dependent path loss. Furthermore, reflections from the water surface and sea bottom increase channel fading. All these factors are considered in the design of UWSN wireless systems. Hence, in UWSN communications, range and bandwidth are important bottlenecks. ...

Outline: Energy insufficiency in wireless communication devices is mainly due to wireless interface, which spend most of its time in the process of idle listening. Before any transmission, to decide whether the channel is idle or busy, idle listening is necessary to perform channel sensing. In contention-based channel access protocol, idle listening is unavoidable and is the primary source of energy consumption in WLAN. In terms of energy saving in WSNs, asynchronous MAC protocols would be the prominent protocols since they allow nodes to sleep most of the time. When it tends to have data occasionally, it is likely to spend some energy since the sender needs to continuously deliver preambles until its receiver finally wakes up. To shorten the duration of preambles, several approaches have been taken ...

Outline: Modelling and Simulation, or M & S as it is commonly referred, is becoming one of the academic programs of choice for students in all disciplines. M & S is a disciplines with its own body of knowledge, theory, and research methodology. At the core of the discipline, the fundamental notion that models are approximation for the real world. To engage, M & S, students must first create a model approximating an event. The model is then followed by simulation, which allows for the repeated observation of the model. After one or many simulations of the model, a third step takes place and that is analysis. Analysis aids in the ability to draw conclusions, verify and validate research, and made recommendations based on various iterations or simulations of the model. These basic precepts coupled with visualization, the...

Outline: Over the past few years, it has become increasingly obvious that the current technique of producing energy has no future. So, unboundedness of resources is remarkably reflected in the growing prices of gas and oil. Moreover, we are observing the primarily effects of burning fossil fuels. The increase of the ocean levels, the rise in weather extremes, and the melting of the glaciers as well as the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima, all show that nuclear energy is not the right path to follow in future.
Luckily, there is a possible solution with which a sustainable energy supply can be guaranteed i.e., renewable energy resources. These use immeasurable sources as a basis for energy supplies and can confirm a full supply with appropriate amalgamation of different technologies such as ...
