BACKGROUND: Access to peripheral veins is necessary for sample collection, transfusion
and infusion of fluids or medications. The peripheral intravenous catheterization (PIVC) …

With the proliferation of automated systems for reliable and highly secure human
authentication and identification, the importance of technological solutions in biometrics is …

Palmprint is a unique and reliable biometric characteristic with high usability. With the
increasing demand of highly accurate and robust palmprint authentication system …

This paper presents two new approaches to improve the performance of palm-vein-based
identification systems presented in the literature. The proposed approach attempts to more …

A novel approach using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for finger-vein biometric
identification is presented in this paper. Unlike existing biometric techniques such as …

The circulating tumor cell (CTC) count has been shown as a prognostic marker for
metastasis development. However, its clinical utility for metastasis prevention remains …

Finger–vein based biometrics, as a new approach to personal identification, has received
much attention in recent years. However, the poor visibility of finger–vein imageries is really …

Metal halide perovskites have shown excellent properties for lighting applications, including
high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), compositional tunability, and narrow …

Although noninvasive, continuous monitoring of glucose concentration in blood and tissues
is one of the most challenging areas in medicine, a wide range of optical techniques has …

Extracting reliable finger-vein features directly from original finger-vein images is not an
easy task since the captured finger-vein images are always poor in quality. This paper …
