Recently, cancelable biometrics emerged as one of the highly effective methods of template protection. The concept behind the cancelable biometrics or cancelability is a transformation of a biometric data or extracted feature into an alternative form, which cannot be used by the imposter or intruder easily, and can be revoked if compromised. In this paper, we present a novel architecture for template generation in the context of situation awareness system in real and virtual applications. We develop a novel cancelable biometric template generation algorithm utilizing random biometric fusion, random projection and selection. Proposed random cross-folding method generate cancelable biometric template from multiple biometric traits. We further validate the performance of the proposed algorithm using a virtual multimodal face and ear database.

One of the important tasks in Mechanical Engineering is to increase the safety of the vehicle and decrease its production costs. This task is typically solved by means of Multiobjective Optimization, which formulates the problem as a mapping from the space of design variables to the space of target criteria and tries to find an optimal region in these multidimensional spaces. Due to high computational costs of numerical simulations, the sampling of this mapping is usually very sparse and scattered. Combining design of experiments methods, metamodeling, new interpolation schemes and innovative graphics methods, we enable the user to interact with simulation parameters, optimization criteria, and come to a new interpolated crash result within seconds. We denote this approach as Simulated Reality, a new concept for the interplay between simulation, optimization and interactive visualization. In this paper we show the application of Simulated Reality for solution of real life car design optimization problems.

New types of trees of structure and linked lists with variable order relations (RTR-trees and RTR-lists) are discussed. Using them enables application of the direct kinematic scheme for simulation of 3D-objects with reorderable structure, making the logic of behavior simulation more natural

The ππ0 production in nuclear Coulomb field at threshold has been studied for the first time experimentally. The cross section of the reaction $$\pi ^ - + (A,Z) \to \pi ^ - + \pi ^0 + (A,Z)$$ at 40 GeV on C, Al, Fe nuclei has been determined for small 4-momentum transferst

Cross sections and charged multiplicity distributions forK + p interactions at 70 GeV/c are presented and compared withK + p data at other energies. Comparisons are also made with available π+ p,pp, andK − p data.

The reaction π−A→Aπ− γ at 40 GeV/c was studied on “Sigma” spectrometer on six different nuclear targets in the region of four-momentum transfer |t
