Regardless of the significant progress in face recognition algorithms, current systems are still defenceless to spoof attacks.Several anti-spoofing approaches have been proposed to control if there is a living individual or an artificial read more duplication, in front of the camera.So far, well-organized safety methods against this threat have pro
Tidal stream energy is a renewable energy resource that might be developed to offset carbon emissions.A tidal energy demonstration (TED) area has been designated in Minas Passage, Bay of Fundy, for testing and installing marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbines.Regulations require quantification of the potential for MHK turbine installations to harm loca
The dynamics model for coaxial lifting rotors can be used to study the controller design and flight simulation for coaxial-rotor aerial vehicles.However, both the computational efficiency and the accuracy should be considered.First, the computational model of the induced velocity of lifting rotor everywhere including the wake region is derived base
The paper is intended to explore the nature of the intertextual and intermedial relations between Dreiser’s novel An American Tragedy and Woody Allen’s London “exilic trilogy”, including Match Point (2005), Scoop (2006), and Cassandra’s Dream (2007).Though little is in common between a socially oriented naturalist and a self-reflexive iro
