“Oxygen starvation” of the atmosphere by Givishvili Givi, Leshchenko Liudmila

“…It becomes obvious that man-made processes affecting the atmosphere lead to two multidirectional phenomena: a) global warming of the troposphere; b) global cooling of the thermosphere: an extreme increase in the mass of CO2 heats the lower layers of the atmosphere, and its upper layers are cooled even by an inconspicuous decrease in part of O2 relative to the total mass. …”

Application of Interactive Multi-Biometrics Recognition on E-Commerce by Ling Tan, Lu Zhang

“…An interactive multi-biometrics recognition method was proposed，and its application on e-commerce was researched from third-party payment platform.For our interactive multi-biometrics recognition，the identification of users was accomplished with the recognition of multi-biometrics features like nose，ear，and finger-knuckle-print.Payment confirmation and signature were achieved with interactive face scan and fingerprint identification.A frame of third party payment platform was designed，based on which a simple and light-weighted pre-authentication layered model for online payment was established.This model can well guarantee security and reliability of payers，sellers，and banks，simplify the process of payment for users as well.…”
