Data Archiving overview

Image
  Data Archiving overview Archive of research data is the long-term storage of scientific research data such as natural sciences, social sciences, and life sciences. Different journals have different policies regarding the amount of data and methods that researchers need to store in public archives, and what is actually archived varies greatly from discipline to discipline. Similarly, major grant providers have different attitudes towards public archiving of data. In general, the tradition of science is that publications contain enough information to allow other researchers to duplicate and test their work. In recent years, this approach has become increasingly tense, as research in some areas has relied on large datasets that cannot be easily replicated independently. Archiving data is more important in some areas than in others. In some areas, all the data needed to reproduce a work is already available in journal articles. Drug development needs to ge...

Access control systems overview

 Access control systems overview Access control systems wide range of credentials can be used to replace mechanical keys. The electronic access control system grants access based on the credential presented. When access is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time and the transaction is recorded. When access is refused, the door remains locked and the attempted access is recorded. The system also monitors the door and warns you if the door is forced to open or stays open for too long after the door is unlocked. When the badge is presented to the reader, the reader sends the badge information (usually a number) to a reliable processor, the control panel. The control panel compares the credential number to the access control list, permits or denies the submitted request, and sends the transaction log to the database. If access is denied based on the access control list, the door remains locked. If the credentials and access control list match, the ...

Biometric Access control system

 Biometric Access control system Biometric access control system  are security identification and authentication devices. Such devices use automated methods to validate or identify living individuals based on their physiological or behavioral characteristics. These features include fingerprints, facial images, irises, and voice recognition. Biometric devices have been used for thousands of years. Non-automated biometric devices have been in use since 500 BC. It was used when the ancient Babylonians pressed their fingertips on clay tablets to sign commerce. Automation of biometric devices was first seen in the 1960s. In the 1960s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began using fingerprints to maintain criminal records. The first system measured hand shape and finger length. Although this system was phased out in the 1980s, it set a precedent for future biometric devices. Biometric data is used to create better and more accessible records of e...
