Transliteration is the process of representing words of one language into another using corresponding equivalent phonemes. For example, “Mohammed”, “Mohammad”, or “Muhammed” are three valid transliterations to the Arabic proper noun “محمد”. Transliteration from Arabic to English usually results in several different versions for the same Arabic name causing some names to have more than 40 different versions. Finding transliterated names is a problem in most languages. In English, this problem has been studied by researchers and many techniques have been developed to find transliterated names referring to the same foreign name. Techniques such as string matching and phonetic matching have been used to find similar names. However, some of these techniques were designed to find similar names of English origin and not a specific transliterated names. In this paper we review current techniques used to find variants of the same name and introduce a new technique we specifically developed to find transliterated Arabic names in English text. We developed a data set of more than 25,000 transliterated Arabic names and tested the effectiveness of current and the new technique on finding 115 names within that list. Our results show that our technique is superior to all other techniques. We also present an online system that we developed to find transliterated Arabic names on the web using our technique. arabic 8 English 57

3D Holoscopic imaging (also referred to as Integral Imaging) is a technique for creating full colour 3D optical models that exist in space independently of the viewer. In this paper, the main objective is to provide new file formats as raw material for full parallax computer generated 3D Holoscopic content, based mainly on Adapted Multiprocessor Ray Tracing System, displayed on auto-stereoscopic. The most important is being 3D model file format as there are many 3D modelling application available in the market and support different file formats. Therefore a file formats (scene description file) are developed for an Adapted Multiprocessor Ray Tracing System "Tachyon" (AMRTST) and for Ac3D computer graphics software package as well; the new file formats are created by uses 3D unidirectional camera parameters. Experimental results show validation of the new algorithm (AMRTST) and for the first time a 3D content of file formats are developed, and tests on an adapted Multiprocessor ray tracing system and on Ac3D package some scenes are tested such as teapot, car, roses and human-body.

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 anatomical and behavioral characteristics. Biometric traits represent a strong and undeviating link between a person and his 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 biometric systems 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. In this paper we present the most common and reliable known biometric systems suitable for Multimodal Biometrics Fusion, providing highly efficient and secure systems, showing their strengths and weaknesses and also presenting technologies in which may have great benefits for security applications in the near future.
