A Strange Algorithm for Fingerprint Based Age Estimation using Frequency Domain and Pattern Recognition Techniques

identifying the age from the unique mark of a new individual is a developing field of constructing studies. to perform this age component diverse systems had been extensively applied. Dominant a part of strategies makes use of the parameters like facet check and area broadness of a given particular finger influence for identity of the age estimation of that distinct person. Unique mark exam has enormous potential as a functioning machine for recognizable evidence of an person depending on both medical just as on restorative parameters. on this exploration work to select the age along their relationship recurrence vicinity and example acknowledgment methods were actualized for a hit grouping of finger prints two Dimensional Discrete Wavelet's (DWT) alongside independent component evaluation (ICA) are utilized to gauge the age factor from the unique mark statistics base. The statistics base which contains round 500 fingerprints of humans involving extraordinary age bunches inside the scope of 10 to 60 is considered for our exploration work. Multi-modular aid Vector gadget primarily based classifier is utilized for particular mark grouping. The exploratory consequences were arranged and from alongside those strains were given plots it changed into discovered that the talent of the proposed method is good.

Non-singular pronouns in Tibeto-Burman (Trans-Himalayan)

This paper surveys the forms of dual and plural pronouns across the Tibeto-Burman languages, and offers a reconstruction of the non-singular pronouns, and a general account of how various branches and languages have diverged from this original system. We can certainly reconstruct two, perhaps three, person-number portmanteaus: #i 1pl, or perhaps 1pl.inc, #ni 2pl, and, less certainly, #ka 1pl.exc. We also reconstruct #tsi dual which combined with singular pronouns to make dual forms. This construction was the model on which most daughter languages have innovated an analytic system of person and number marking, with distinct person and dual and/or plural morphemes combining to make the morphologically complex but semantically transparent compositional forms found in the majority of languages.

The interaction of person and number in Mi’gmaq

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This paper presents puzzles concerning the representation of features in the agreement system of the Eastern Algonquian language, Mi’gmaq. A growing body of research converges on the idea that φ-agreement should be separated into distinct person (π⁰), number (#⁰), and sometimes gender (γ⁰) probes (e.g. Anagnostopoulou 2003, Béjar 2003, Béjar and Rezac 2003, Laka 1993, Shlonsky 1989, Sigurðsson 1996, Sigurðsson and Holmberg 2008, Preminger 2012). While these proposals account well for agreement and partial agreement patterns in a number of languages, we show that in order to account for the agreement system of Mi’gmaq, π⁰ and #⁰ must probe together, which we argue to be the result of <em>fusion</em> of two distinct probes. We discuss the implications of Mi’gmaq agreement for “prominence hierarchies” and feature geometries in the grammar. </span></p></div></div></div>

Corporate Criminal Liability in South Africa: The Need to Look Beyond Vicarious Liability

Corporate criminal liability is a problematic concept, especially where it is based on an exceptionable principle such as vicarious liability. This is the case with the South African model. This article seeks to demonstrate that this model requires substantial modification because it compels the court to adopt the incoherent exercise of holding a corporation (which is a distinct person) liable for the intentional act (crime) of any of its agents, whether or not there is criminal intention on the corporation's part and whether or not it was aware of, or could have prevented the commission of the offence. It is submitted that it is more appropriate to hold a corporation liable only where it has been established that the course of conduct that resulted in the offence was encouraged or tolerated by persons who embody the corporation (usually sufficiently empowered managers or members of the board of directors).
