Level 3 features (sweat pores, incipient ridges and ultra-thin characteristics of the ridges) are less frequently adopted because they can be extracted only from high resolution images, but they have the potential of improving all the steps of the biometric recognition process.
The higher concentration of NCBMs typically shows greater viscosity and more intense shear-thinning characteristics.
The shear thinning characteristics of the substrate are described by the power law equation η S = K · γ ˙ n - 1, wherein K stands for the Ostwald factor and η for the shear rate exponent.
Compared with the linear poly(AM-co-AMPS) having the similar molecular weight, S-poly(AM-co-AMPS) provides the drilling fluids with better shear-thinning characteristics and much lower apparent viscosities under non-aging and high-temperatures.
Patients with NPSLE appear to have different cortical and subcortical gray matter thinning characteristics than those SLE patients without acute or past NPSLE symptoms (e.g., seizure, transient ischemic attack, acute confusion).
All materials exhibited moderate shear thinning characteristics (n values range from 0.75 to 0.95) with both time dependent behavior and some irreversible loss of structure.
In addition, the flow behavior of the dispersions below 0.4 %w/v was Newtonian but they exhibited a pseudoplastic with shear thinning characteristic at higher concentrations.
The findings were that UCB samples exhibit time-dependent non-Newtonian behaviors with a shear thinning characteristic, and both thixotropy and rheopexy properties are observed under long periods of steady-state shearing (300 shearhearatete).
Moreover, n-values decreased with the increase of surfactant concentration, showing a trend of increasing the shear thinning characteristic of the studied systems.
Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is an optic neuropathy associated with a glaucomatous optic nerve head, progressive retinal nerve fiber layer thinning, characteristic visual field defects, open anterior chamber angle on gonioscopy, and a maximum intraocular pressure (IOP) below 21 mmHg [ 1].
Planar steel substrates were used to set up a datatable of thin film characteristics such as film thickness, hardness, coefficient of friction, adhesion and Young's modulus.
