“Time‐Tripping” and Memory‐Making: A Grounded Theory of Grounded Theory
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.This paper explores the development of grounded theory methodology through the lens of memory studies, introducing the concept of “time‐tripping” as a key generic social process. The paper identifies several sub‐processes of time‐tripping, including “reclaiming,” “resisting,” “retro‐casting,” and “landscaping,” which shape the methodological “imaginary.

A Reinforcement Learning Agent for Minutiae Extraction from Fingerprints [PDF]
, 2001 In this paper we show that reinforcement learning can be used for minutiae detection in fingerprint matching. Minutiae are characteristic features of fingerprints that determine their uniqueness.

Theorizing Patriarchy Against a Backdrop of Workplace Sexism and Stress in UK Academia
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Our analysis investigates the distinct relationship between sexism and workplace stress as experienced by women academics in the UK higher education system. We argue that due to the insufficient literature on this issue there is a limited knowledge base of the harmful psychological effects of stress in the workplace upon women academics in the

From observation to understanding: A multi‐agent framework for smart microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Smart microscopy represents a paradigm shift in biological imaging, moving from passive observation tools to active collaborators in scientific inquiry. Enabled by advances in automation, computational power, and artificial intelligence, these systems are now capable of adaptive decision‐making and real‐time experimental control.

Is There High-Level Causation? [PDF]
, 2013 The discovery of high-level causal relations seems a central activity of the special sciences. Those same sciences are less successful in formulating strict laws. If causation must be underwritten by strict laws, we are faced with a puzzle (first noticed

Perfect Fingerprint Orientation Fields by Locally Adaptive Global Models
, 2016 Fingerprint recognition is widely used for verification and identification in many commercial, governmental and forensic applications. The orientation field (OF) plays an important role at various processing stages in fingerprint recognition systems. OFs

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Our study works towards a ‘sociology of organizational professionals’ by elucidating how they navigate domains dominated by occupational professionals. It shows that relational tactics impact whether organizational professionals remain limited to a periphery, become subservient to occupational professionals, or achieve durable roles.

RSA Cryptographic Key Generation Using Fingerprint Minutiae
Iraqi Journal for Computers and Informatics, 2014 Human users find difficult to remember long cryptographic keys. Therefore, researchers, for a long time period, have been investigating ways to use biometric features of the user rather than memorable password or passphrase, in an attempt to produce ...
