  2. Henry Classification System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Classification_System

    The Henry Classification System is a long-standing method by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics for one-to-many searching. Developed by Hem Chandra Bose, [1] Qazi Azizul Haque [2] and Sir Edward Henry in the late 19th century for criminal investigations in British India, [3] it was the basis of modern-day AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System ...

  3. Fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint

    Pattern based algorithms compare the basic fingerprint patterns (arch, whorl, and loop) between a previously stored template and a candidate fingerprint. This requires that the images can be aligned in the same orientation. To do this, the algorithm finds a central point in the fingerprint image and centers on that.

  4. Biometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics

    The first fingerprint-based cancelable biometric system was designed and developed by Tulyakov et al. [60] Essentially, cancelable biometrics perform a distortion of the biometric image or features before matching. The variability in the distortion parameters provides the cancelable nature of the scheme.

  5. Child development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development

    Vygotsky was strongly focused on the role of culture in determining the child's pattern of development. [14] He argued that "Every function in the child's cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological).

  6. Developmental niche - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_niche

    The three components of the developmental niche operate together with powerful though incomplete coordination as a system. Thus for example in a stable cultural environment, customs of care reflect parental ethnotheories about the child, and they are further supported by the physical and social settings of daily life.

  7. Dermatoglyphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatoglyphics

    Dermatoglyphics, when correlated with genetic abnormalities, aids in the diagnosis of congenital malformations at birth or soon after.. Klinefelter syndrome: excess of arches on digit 1, more frequent ulnar loops on digit 2, overall fewer whorls, lower ridge counts for loops and whorls as compared with controls, and significant reduction of the total finger ridge count.

  8. Developmentally appropriate practice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmentally...

    The developmentally appropriate practice is based upon the idea that children learn best from doing. Children learn best when they are actively involved in their environment and build knowledge based on their experiences rather than through passively receiving information.

  9. Magnetic resonance fingerprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance...

    Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is methodology in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characterized by a pseudo-randomized acquisition strategy. It involves creating unique signal patterns or 'fingerprints' for different materials or tissues after which a pattern recognition algorithm matches these fingerprints with a predefined dictionary of expected signal patterns.
