Analysis Of Near-Infrared Phase Effects On Biometric Iris Data, Brady Roos Stevenson
Analysis Of Near-Infrared Phase Effects On Biometric Iris Data, Brady Roos Stevenson
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to ascertain potential iris scan data variations from near infrared waves derived from fluorescent illumination. Prior studies of iris data variances from infrared wave interference of halogen, incandescent, and sunlight with iris cameras suggest that similar changes may exist under near infrared wavelengths from fluorescent light. The concern is that the fluorescent energy emission may interfere with the near infrared detection of an iris camera. An iris camera is used to measure human eye characteristics known as biometrics. If such infrared emission is statistically significant, then it can alter the validity of the iris …
Enacting Technology In Networked Governance: Developmental Processes Of Cross-Agency Arrangements, Jane E. Fountain
Enacting Technology In Networked Governance: Developmental Processes Of Cross-Agency Arrangements, Jane E. Fountain
National Center for Digital Government
This paper discusses the technology enactment framework, an analytical framework to guide exploration and examination of information-based change in governments.1 The original technology enactment framework is extended in this paper to delineate the distinctive roles played by key actors in technology enactment. I then examine institutional change in government by drawing from current initiatives in the U.S. federal government to build cross-agency relationships and systems. The U.S. government is one of the first central states to undertake not only back office integration within the government but also integration of systems and processes across agencies. For this reason its experience during …
Icts And Political Accountability: An Assessment Of The Impact Of Digitization In Government On Political Accountability In Connecticut, Massachusetts And New York State, Albert Meijer
National Center for Digital Government
This report presents a first analysis of the results of empirical research into the impact of digitization on political accountability in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York State. The report focuses on presenting the empirical findings and these data still require further analysis.
A Genetic Algorithm For The Longest Common Subsequence Problem, Brenda Hinkemeyer
A Genetic Algorithm For The Longest Common Subsequence Problem, Brenda Hinkemeyer
Culminating Projects in Computer Science and Information Technology
The Longest Common Subsequence problem (LCS) is a known :NP-complete problem that computes the longest subsequence (series of characters occurring in the same order, although not necessarily consecutively) that any number of strings share. An LCS is not necessarily unique for any combination of strings; however, the length will be. The computationally difficult version of this problem occurs when the number of strings and the LCS length are not fixed. The problem has a number of applications: anything from searching content to file difference listings. There is no single solution that fits all situations, and the deterministic solutions available are …
Challenges To Organizational Change: Multi-Level Integrated Information Structures (Miis), Jane E. Fountain
Challenges To Organizational Change: Multi-Level Integrated Information Structures (Miis), Jane E. Fountain
National Center for Digital Government
From introduction: Governments are extraordinary information creators, users, and disseminators. I-government focuses attention on the flow and structuring of information within government (Mayer-Schoenberger and Lazer, this volume). Government actors engage in knowledge work, specifically, in the creation, sharing, and communication of information. They design and redesign processes by which information flows according to legislative mandate, organizational practice and public need. Recently, they have sought to rethink information flows in order to leverage benefits from information and communication technologies. When public sector actors seek to change these information flows at any appreciable level of complexity, they inevitably engage in complex organizational …
