Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of epidermal ridges and their configurations on the palmar region of hand and fingers and plantar region of foot and toes. The term dermatoglyphics was coined by Cummins and Midloo 1926 and was derived from Greek words derma means skin and glyphics means carvings. Ridges are genetically determined therefore dermatoglyphics is useful in anthropological, medico legal & genetic studies and is accepted as a simple & inexpensive method for deciding whether a patient has a particular genetic disorder or not. This science is both old and young. After extensive...

In this fast pace world we can see rapid revolutions in computer science whether it would be in telecommunication, smart phone devices or processors speed. When we talk about speed, Parallel computation comes in the picture. Implementation of Mathematical equations on different interconnection network is always been an interesting realm among researchers of Parallel and Distributed System. Prefix is not a simple equation. Many real world challenges has been simplified through prefix and prefix based equations such as forecasting, Probability Analysis and Computation of profit and loss etc....

I have compiled a work on normal growth and development of the facial soft tissues.Soft tissue profile change is a result of both underlying skeletal growth and overlying soft tissue thickening. The complex interplay between hard and soft tissue structures of the face continues past the termination of pubertal growth, and although varying in magnitude, the changes brought about during this period are of clinical importance. The interrelationship of soft tissue components, such as nose, lips, and chin, will be influenced by both growth and orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is important that...

For controlling and protecting sensitive or confidential documents and images and also providing authenticity, there is a need to protect the confidential data by proving security and authenticity to the image documents. As biometric data is unique for each individual so that it will grant access only to legitimate users. This book includes an approach for granting authenticity to a user. It includes two algorithms, one is digital watermarking and other is fingerprint verification. In digital watermarking, the fingerprint data (as image) of a user has been embedded in other cover image and...
