A method is provided for deriving a single code from a biometric sample in a way which enables different samples of a user to provide the same code whilst also distinguishing between samples of different users. Different features are analysed to obtain mean and variance values, and these are used to control how the different feature values are interpreted. In addition, features are combined and a sub-set of bits of the combination is used as the code. This enables bits which are common to all user samples to be dropped as well as bits which may differ between different samples of the same user.

The invention provides a method for identification of alleles. In this method, genomic DNA is used as target. Multiple allele-specific PCR amplification are carried out with a group of primers comprising one or more allele-specific primers for a target gene, a universal primer, and a common primer; and a DNA polymerase without 5' to 3' exonuclease activity. The PCR products are hybridized with tag probes immobilized on a DNA chip. Results are determined based on the signal intensity and the position of the probe immobilized on the array. Each allele-specific primer comprises a unique tag sequence at the 5' end. Each tag probe immobilized on the DNA chip comprises a sequence identical to its corresponding tag sequence; and each tag probe hyb...

Hydrophobic beeswax emulsions were incorporated into hydrophilic starch films to modify physical, mechanical and thermal properties of the films. Beeswax was added in the film-forming solution of high amylose pea starch (35 - 40% amylose w/w) at the level of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% w/w of starch with glycerol as a plasticizer (40/60 of glycerol/starch). Addition of beeswax affected mechanical properties significantly reducing tensile strength and elongation, and increasing elastic modulus. Beeswax addition decreased water vapor permeability, and increased oxygen permeability. However, the addition of hydrophobic wax particles in starch films marginally affected these physical properties below 30% beeswax in the films. Beeswax addition at the ...

A method and apparatus for providing optical supercontinuum. The method comprises creating a spectrally narrow phase feature within a supercontinuum spectrum produced from a laser pulse that has been subjected to supercontinuum generation, thereby producing a modified supercontinuum spectrum, and propagating the modified supercontinuum spectrum through an optical waveguide that is suitable for supercontinuum generation, thereby further modifying the modified supercontinuum spectrum. The method may include modifying the modified supercontinuum spectrum by increasing its energy in a vicinity of the phase feature.
