The Science of Biometrics
The Science of Biometrics: Security Technology for Identity Verification covers the technical aspects of iris and facial recognition, focusing primarily on the mathematical and statistical algorithms that run the verification and identification processes in these two modalities. Each chapter begins with a review of the technologies, examining how they work, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as some of their established market applications. Numerous approaches are examined. Facial recognition is much more of an emerging biometric technology than iris recognition; therefore, there are more algorithms that are currently being developed in that area. After this review, numerous applications of these two modalities are covered as well, some of which have just been commercially deployed while others are under research and development. Chapters 3 and 4 conclude with case studies to provide further application review. This book is directed to security managers, electronic security system designers, consultants, and system integrators, as well as electronic security system manufacturers working in access control and biometrics.
How Does Biased Technological Change Affect Energy Production in the Us? Evidence from Patent Data
Empirical literature about the energy transition has focused on the impact of energy prices or energy policy on the rate of technological change, as surveyed in Popp et al. (2010) or Popp (2019). However, very few papers have attempted to estimate the impact of technological progress on energy production decisions. I am trying to fill this gap using an AutoRegressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) model on yearly US data to estimate the so-called “directed technical change” (DTC) effect from Acemoglu et al. (2012). The main novelty of this paper is to provide a measure of biased technological progress based on patent citations from the EPO/OECD PATSTATS database to account for research value. The empirical analysis validates the DTC mechanism for different definitions of technological progress and for different time periods, with a short run coefficient lying between 0.07 and 0.15 and a long-run coefficient between 0.12 and 0.36. I also exhibit that for energy prices, the negative substitution effect can sometimes be out-performed by the positive “resource envelop” effect.
Witness
This detailed history of the famous Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York City, begins with its organization in 1809 and continues through its relocations, its famous senior pastors, and its many crises and triumphs, up to the present. Considered the largest Protestant congregation in the United States during the pre-megachurch 1930s, this church plays a very important part in the history of New York City.
