In this paper, a new method of representing images called two directional two dimensional locality preserving indexing called 2D2LPI is presented. It is an extension of the two dimensional locality preserving indexing (2DLPI) method. The authors argue that the recently proposed 2DLPI reduces the dimensions of images in row direction and we propose an alternate way of reducing the dimension in column direction. Later the authors propose a method to reduce the size of an image both in row and column directions. To corroborate the efficacy of the proposed two directional two dimensional approach the authors design a model for person identification based on single instance of finger knuckle print and subsequently the authors propose a feature level fusion of multi-instance finger knuckle print for person identification. Also to study the suitability of the proposed approach on a different domain, a study on video summarization is also presented in this paper. The results of the proposed method are compared with that of the state of the art techniques such as 2D2PCA, 2D2LPP and it is found that the proposed 2D2LPI model is more competitive in terms of accuracy.

This article argues that the analysis of a threedimensional image demanded a three-dimensional approach. The authors realise that discussions of images and image processing inveterately conceptualise representation as being flat, static, and finite. The authors recognise the need for a fresh acuteness to three-dimensionality as a meaningful – although problematic – element of visual sources. Two dramatically different examples are used to expose the shortcomings of an ingrained two-dimensional approach and to facilitate a demonstration of how modern (digital) techniques could sanction new historical/anthropological perspectives on subjects that have become all too familiar. Each example could not be more different in their temporal and geographical location, their cultural resonance, and their historiography. However, in both these visual spectacles meaning is polysemic. It is dependent upon the viewer's spatial relationship to the artifice as well as the spirito-intellectual viewer within the community. The authors postulate that the multi- faceted and multi-layered arrangement of meaning in a complex image could be assessed by working beyond the limitations of the two-dimensional methodological paradigm and by using methods and media that accommodated this type of interconnectivity and representation.

Two-dimensional boron is promising as a tunable monolayer metal for nano-optoelectronics. We study the optoelectronic properties of two likely allotropes of two-dimensional boron using first-principles density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory. We find that both systems are anisotropic metals, with strong energy- and thickness-dependent optical transparency and a weak (<1%) absorbance in the visible range. Additionally, using state-of-the-art methods for the description of the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions, we show that the electrical conductivity is limited by electron-phonon interactions. Our results indicate that both structures are suitable as a transparent electrode.
