Biometrics technologies have been around for quite some time and many have been deployed for different applications all around the world, ranging from small companies' time and attendance systems to access control systems for nuclear facilities. Biometrics offer a reliable solution for the establishment of the distinctiveness of identity based on "who an individual is", rather than what he or she knows or carries. Biometric Systems automatically verify a person's identity based on his/her anatomical and behavioral characteristics. Biometric traits represent a strong and undeviating link between a person and his/her identity, these traits cannot be easily lost or forgotten or faked, since biometric systems require the user to be present at the time of authentication. Some biometric systems are more reliable than others, yet they are neither secure nor accurate, all biometrics have their strengths and weaknesses. Although some of these systems have shown reliability and solidarity, work still has to be done to improve the quality of service they provide. Presented is the available standing biometric systems showing their strengths and weaknesses and also emerging technologies which may have great benefits for security applications in the near future.

3D Integral Imaging (also referred to as 3D Holoscopic imaging) methodology uses the principle of “Fly’s eye” and hence allows natural viewing of objects (i.e. fatigue free viewing); 3D-holoscopic technology produces images that are true optical models. This technology is based on physical principles with duplication of light fields. In this paper, a new method of visualization medical 3D integral images is proposed. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data images (DICOM) taken from CT, MRI, PET and US images that produced by 3D-Doctor software to generate medical 3D integral images visualization of anatomy without glass in natural light. The method is mainly based on multiprocessor ray tracing system as renderer. The medical 3D content is captured in real time with the content viewed by multiple viewers independently of their position, without the needs of 3D eyewear. Experimental results show validation of the new algorithm and demonstrated that medical 3D integral images content can be displayed on commercially available multi-view auto-stereoscopic display. Medical 3D integral images content is parsed into multiprocessor ray tracing system, consequently, short time of medical 3D integral images movie of such pelvis scene is generated and displayed on PC screen, LCD and Holovizio display.

Open Educational Resources become an important asset for many educational institutions. In this paper we report the analysis of our survey data on using open educational resources at the University of Tripoli (UoT) among the academic staff members. The survey data was collected electronically to assess the awareness and usage of open educational resources within the University of Tripoli. Results of our survey reveal that 90% of academic staff members surveyed are using open educational resources, but they are not contributing much to OER due to lack of support from university
