The primary function of Facial Recognition and Facial Identification are to either Authenticate someone’s identity or to Identify an unknown individual. The process of Authentication, is considered to be a 1:1 process, meaning that an individuals face and positive identity are already stored in a database and the system is only comparing the image of the individual present against a known image in a database. This type of system would be used in a controlled environment such as a high-security…

Often time’s witnesses are under extreme conditions when their testimonies of events are needed. One question that comes to mind is, due to wrongful convictions found after DNA testing; will eyewitness identification be accurate enough to overturn a wrongful…
Lead Identification (LO): Lead compounds bind to target receptors, and shows potentially therapeutic pharmacological activity, and may contain similar structures and functional groups. Lead compounds are used as a foundation for drug development and may be modified structurally for greater pharmacodynamic efficiency and potency.1 One source of determining lead compounds is by assaying libraries through HTS. Researchers analyze the drug’s ADME properties (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and…
keys a reality. Instead of turning the key into the ignition switch, you'll simply command your car to "Start the engine." How cool would that be? Fingerprint Identification In essence, a technology replacing the key fob should be unique to a point where it is nearly impossible to duplicate. Based on this quality, fingerprint identification is one of the top contenders for the job. Even with over 7 billion people on earth, no two individuals have the same fingerprint, which gives every person a…

Many people assume that once they have had CPR class, they are done with that forever. They learned CPR and, like completing the 1st grade, they do not need to go back and do it again. That is not true. There is a reason that CPR certification needs to be renewed on a consistent bases. Though there are some aspects of CPR that remain the same, there are changes to the latest CPR guidelines. The American Heart Assoc. reviews and adjusts the latest CPR guidelines and has made a number of changes…
Voter identification laws have been a major topic of discussion and source of tension over the past few election cycles in America. Lawmakers have been working quickly to enact these laws around the country since the contested 2000 election. These laws have risen out of a so-called need to combat widespread voter fraud in our elections; however, the laws are coming from one end of the political spectrum and have the tendency to only benefit that side 's electoral achievements. At the end of the…
Who are we and the elements that comprise it in society are similar if not the same for people as for organisations. Concepts used to understand who we are is identity, identification, and reputation. Major contributors to these are Stuart Albert, David A. Whetten, Jane E. Dutton, Janet M. Dukerich, Charles Fomburn, and Mark Shanley. The identity is the concept constructed on internal beliefs of oneself (ideational), personal definition (definitional), and perception of experiences…
Bacterial identification plays an imperative role in pathology, enabling the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases abundant within the human population. Samples from biological tissues as well as artificial reservoirs, are frequently utilised for analysis in order to detect the presence of bacteria. These may be either normal flora, opportunistic pathogens or invasive microorganisms, from which analysis can deduce their role in disease states. The inaugural step in the process of bacterial…
First is hazard identification. This is the process of examining each work area and work task for the purpose of identifying all the hazards which are “inherent in the job”. Work areas include but are not limited to machine workshops, laboratories, office areas, agricultural and horticultural environments, stores and transport, maintenance and grounds. Second is risk identification, once a hazard to health and safety has been identified, the risk associated with that hazard must be examined. As…
