Drug-Resistant Bone, Joint and Spine Tuberculosis: Evolution of Diagnosis and Treatment
Drug resistant (DR) osteoarticular TB (OATB) is a challenge in view of it being deep seated lesion and paucibacillary disease. Case definition, investigation protocol, treatment of proven DR and those cases wh...

Treatment Outcome of Drug-Resistant Skeletal Tuberculosis: A Retrospective Analysis
Management outcomes of drug-resistant (DR) osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) is dismal as in pre-ATT era (1905). The studies documenting treatment outcome of DR-OATB are scarce; hence, present retrospective a...

Reducing Bias in Face Recognition
In this chapter, we estimate the demographic bias in FR (Face Recognition) algorithms and introduce two methods to mitigate the demographic impact on FR performance. The goal of this research is to learn a fai...

Incidence and Patterns of Drug Resistance in Patients with Spinal Tuberculosis: a Prospective, Single-Center Study from a Tuberculosis-Endemic Country
There is paucity of data on incidence and pattern of drug resistance in spinal TB. This prospective observational study was conducted to document the incidence and drug-resistance pattern among primary and pre...

Chapter
Fingerprint Sensing
This chapter surveys available fingerprint acquisition techniques: from the traditional “ink on paper” to live-scan sensing based on optical, capacitive, and ultrasonic technologies. Technological advancements...

Chapter
Fingerprint Matching
This chapter formalizes the fingerprint matching problem, namely finding a similarity between any given fingerprint pair. The requirements of the matching problem are high similarity values between two impress...

Chapter
Latent Fingerprint Recognition
Latent fingerprints (or fingermarks) are the traces of friction ridges left by fingers touching object surfaces. Because of their poor quality, latent fingerprints have been (and still often are) processed sem...

Chapter
Fingerprint Individuality
Scientific evidence supporting fingerprint individuality (i.e., quantifying the extent of uniqueness of a fingerprint) is being increasingly demanded, particularly in forensic applications when a suspect is tr...

Chapter
Tuberculosis of the Axial Skeleton
Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is a socioeconomic disease and robust public health programs are needed for prevention. The prevalence is region dependent. Extra-pulmonary TB is typically paucibacillary; ZN stains an...

The Role of Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT), Line Probe Assay (LPA), Liquid Culture, Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) Smear and Histopathology in the Diagnosis of Osteoarticular Tuberculosis
There is a paucity of data on the role of molecular methods in the diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis. The present study was conducted to define the role of molecular (CBNAAT, LPA), phenotypic (AFB smear...

The economics of platforms in a Walrasian framework
We present a tractable model of platform competition in a general equilibrium setting. We endogenize the size, number, and type of each platform, while allowing for different user types in utility and impact o...
