 | | | | | | Evaluations of Thinning Algorithms for Preprocessing of Handwritten Characters Thinning algorithms have played an important role in preprocessing phase which decides the success of recognition in the OCR system. This paper report on the performance of 11 thinning algorithms from the perspective of character recognition where different aspects of the performance of each algorithm like computing time, deviation from perfect 8-connectedness, and number of possible noise spurs present in the skeletons are considered. | | | Fast Face Recognition Using Eigen Faces Face is a typical multidimensional structure and needs good computational analysis for recognition. Our approach signifies face recognition as a two-dimensional problem. In this approach, face recognization is done by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Face images are faced onto a space that encodes best difference among known face images. The face space is created by eigenface methods which are eigenvectors of the set of faces, which may not link to general facial features such as eyes, nose, and lips. The eigenface method uses the PCA for recognition of the images. The system performs by... | | | Working Women in Arab Countries: A Case for Cautious Optimism Working women in the Arab world have been suffering from significant problems in their participation and economic/organizational well-being. Statistics point to the fact that the gap between males and females is significant in terms of pay and participation rates. Some cultural and institutional factors that could be responsible –at least partially- for such deficiencies are explored. We argue, however, that there is still room for cautious optimism in relation to the future status of working women. Gradual, though slow, positive changes are indeed happening in Arab contexts. Moreover, a... | | | Curricular Choices of ultra-Orthodox Jewish Communities: Translating International Human Rights Law to Education Policy This paper employs the provisions of international human rights law in order to analyze whether and how liberal states should regulate Haredi educational practices, which sanctify the exclusive focus on religious studies in schools for boys. It conceptualizes the conflict between the right to acceptable education and the right to adaptable education in international human rights law, and analyzes four case studies of Haredi education that exemplify different socio-legal approaches towards this conflict. The case studies show how education laws are transformed along the cogwheels of... | | | A Portrait of Armenian Student Life at the Syrian Protestant College 1885-1920 In December 1866 the Syrian Protestant College (hereafter SPC) opened its doors with four professors and sixteen students. The College soon became a recognized center of higher education in the Ottoman Empire, and attracted without discrimination a large number of students from all over the Empire. Daniel Bliss, the founding father of the college, quickly organized a medical department to fulfill the needs of the region. After the language change in the medical department from Arabic to English, non-Arabic speaking students, among whom were Armenians, started enrolling in the College.... | | |
