This book presents a novel method of multimodal biometric fusion using a random selection of biometrics, which covers a new method of feature extraction, a new framework of sensor-level and feature-level fusion. Most of the biometric systems presently use unimodal systems, which have several limitations. Multimodal systems can increase the matching accuracy of a recognition system. This monograph shows how the problems of unimodal systems can be dealt with efficiently, and focuses on multimodal biometric identification and sensor-level, feature-level fusion. It discusses fusion in biometric systems to improve performance.

Neurosurgery of Arteriovenous Malformations and Fistulas A Multimodal Approach


Free Download Neurosurgery of Arteriovenous Malformations and Fistulas: A Multimodal Approach by Hans-Jakob Steiger , Robert Schmid-Elsaesser , Alexander Muacevic , Hartmut Brückmann , Berndt Wowra
English | PDF (True) | 2002 | 475 Pages | ISBN : 3211837035 | 63.9 MB
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and fistulas (AVF) differ from all other pathology affecting the central nervous system by their high-flow arteriovenous shunts. Permanent occlusion of these shunts is the essence and the challenge of therapy. Much progress has been made since the first neurosurgical efforts to deal with these problems. Endovascular therapy and radiosurgery became accepted alternatives or adjuncts to surgery. In many instances the choice of the primary therapeutic modality is not clear and arguments can be found for several options. However, microsurgery, endovascular therapy and radiosurgery differ very much with regard to invasiveness, length of stay at the hospital but also residual risk after therapy. These secondary factors are often decisive for the choice of treatment modality. The book presents in a clearly structured way the modern treatment concepts. It has been written for all colleagues involved in surgery, radiosurgery and endovascular therapy of neurovascular malformations.

2012 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 3527329900 | PDF | 4 MB
Written in a clear language, for use by scholars, managers and decisionmakers, this practical guide to the hot topic is unique in treating the security aspects of hazmat transportation from both uni-modal and multi-modal perspectives. To begin with, each transport mode and its relation to security vulnerability, analyses, figures, and approaches is discussed separately. Secondly, the optimization process of a hazmat supply chain is examined from a holistic, integrated viewpoint. Finally, the book discusses and compares the various hazmat transport security policies and strategies adopted in various regions around the world. The result is a must-have source of high-quality information including many case studies.Content: Chapter 1 Editorial Introduction (pages 1-8): Prof. Luca Zamparini and Prof. Genserik ReniersChapter 2 History and Importance of Hazmat Transportation (pages 9-15): Prof. Genserik ReniersChapter 3 Economic Issues in Hazmat Transportation (pages 17-26): Luca ZampariniChapter 4 Security of Hazmat Transports by Road (pages 27-48): Mark LepofskyChapter 5 Security Aspects of Hazmat Transport Using Railroad (pages 49-69): Manish Verma and Vedat VerterChapter 6 Security of Hazmat Transports by Inland Waterways (pages 71-89): Pero Vidan and Josip KasumChapter 7 Security of Hazmat Transports by Pipeline (pages 91-113): Paul W. ParfomakChapter 8 Mulitmodal Transport: Historical Evolution and Logistics Framework (pages 115-133): Wout Dullaert, Bert Vernimmen and Luca ZampariniChapter 9 Multimodal Analysis Framework for Hazmat Transports and Security (pages 135-162): Cathy Macharis, Koen Van Raemdonck, Juha Hintsa and Olivier MairesseChapter 10 Metaheuristics for the Multimodal Optimization of Hazmat Transports (pages 163-181): Kenneth Sorensen, Pablo Maya Duque, Christine Vanovermeire and Marco CastroChapter 11 Freight Security and Livability: US Toxic and Hazardous Events from 2000 to 2010 (pages 183-199): Lisa Schweitzer, Pamela Murray?Tuite, Daniel Inloes, Mohja Rhoads and Fynnwin PragerChapter 12 Security of Hazmat Transports in Italy (pages 201-218): Paola Papa and Prof. Luca ZampariniChapter 13 Security of Hazmat Transports in The Netherlands from a Security Practitioner’s Point of View (pages 219-235): Henk NeddermeijerChapter 14 Safeguarding Hazmat Shipments in the US: Policies and Challenges (pages 237-261): Joseph S.
