The technology is based upon thefact that no two retinal patterns are alike. In this paper, the nine parameters of an ellipsoidal shape fit-ted into a retinal image such as coordinates of the center of theellipsoid, the length of major, minor, intermediate axes, and thedirection of three axes will be calculated. For each individual, theseparameters are unique. Key Words: Ellipsoid, image processing, pattern recognition,parallel algorithm, retina, three-dimensional moments . 1

Asexample, in first order circuits (RC or RL) if we include AC excitations we are really dealingwith filters: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass or band-stop (reject) devices. These simple circuitsare examples of passive circuits & systems. With the introduction of operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) integrated circuits, we start description of so-called active filters. Studying theinput/output (I/O) models of these systems, students are gradually introduced to using computer-aided design, CAD, or analysis tools that can be beneficial in their work.

The training data set areused for training a SVM classifier while the testing dataset are used for the evaluation.According to the experimental results, we know that GEI is an applicable feature for human gaitrepresentation. Despite of the limitation of the dataset, e.g., different races and thickness ofclothes which weaken the distinct differences between males and females, the average accuracyof the proposed approach reaches up to 87% under 10 times holdout validation.1.

Another challenge faced by departments pertains to satisfying the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) criteria for capstone senior project experience within the curriculum.

BACKGROUNDIn a network security class, students learned the basics about how to provide confidentialityusing either symmetric key encryption or asymmetric key encryptions. They have also beentaught how to provide authenticity by applying techniques with Message Authentication Code(MAC). In this work, students were challenged to explore how the cryptography knowledge canbe applied in real world settings. Specifically, students were encouraged to first study securityconcerns in cloud computing. They were then been asked to discover how cryptography can beused to enhance security in cloud computing. In order to evaluate how practical the proposedapproach, they were instructed to establish a testing environment to

It also avoids studentsto fall asleep in class, since they have to stand up and move to specific positions during thesimulations.

Data Mining for Adverse Event Detection and Action RecommendationAbstractMany real-life data mining applications use sequence data modeling, in which data isrepresented as a sequence. A temporal sequence is a finite ordered list of events (t1,e1),(t2,e2), …,(tn,en) where ti represents time and ei represents the event taking place at time ti.ei takes place before ei+1 for 1≤ i ≤ n-1. This model can be used in data mining, calledsequence data mining, to predict certain event that may take place at a specific time.Sequence data mining has a wide range of applications. This data mining technique canbe used for prediction of adverse events and can recommend appropriate actions to betaken as needed. In aviation safety, the
