Biometric data (e.g. fingerprints) are matched to another sample to confirm a person’s identity (authentication). For example, BioCert biometric systems use optic scanners to collect fingerprint minutiae, then create mathematical templates based on that information for storage. New input fingerprints are scanned and compared to the stored samples. If the minutiae matching threshold is met, the person is authenticated.

The comparison of biometric templates to determine their degree of similarity or correlation.

The process of comparing biometric templates or images to determine their degree of similarity (a score). If the score exceeds a given threshold, the matching is positive, and a strong correlation between a person and the related template or the image could be established.

Adopting some aspects of another person's communication style for the purpose of building rapport. For example, matching their posture. Matching is not mimicry, which is conscious exact copying of another person's behavior.

Adopting characteristics of another person's outputs (behavior, words, etc.) to enhance rapport.

matching is adopting parts of another persons behaviour i.e. particular gestures, facial expressions, forms of speech, tone of voice etc. If subtly done it helps create a feeling of being similar or alike between people. Mismatching can be either conscious or unconscious behaviour. It has the effect of reducing rapport between people because a mismatcher does things differently from others, breathing at a different rate, speaking at a different tempo and so on. Mismatching can be a normal prt of focuses on difference.

Hanging strips of wallcovering so that the design will be in the correct relation to the preceding strips. The types of matches are "random", "straight", "drop", and "reverse".

Hanging strips of wallcovering so that the design will be in correct relation to the preceding strips. The types of matches: random, straight and drop. Also, coordinating different wallpapers or fabrics.

The technique of joining two strips of wallpaper so that partial designs or a sequence of designs will line up properly. (e.g. Drop Match, Straight Match)

Choosing a “control group” (the group who doesn’t receive the treatment or other thing being tested) who is like the “experimental group” (who does receive the treatment); the groups would be alike in gender, age, race, and severity of disability, for example.

The process of making a study group and a comparison (control) group comparable with respect to certain factors that are not part of the main hypothesis. Matching is often done on such characteristics as age, sex, race, income group, etc. and is included into the study design to prevent the matched variables from affecting the estimate of risk and ultimately the conclusions of the study.

A method utilized to create comparison groups, in which groups or individuals are matched to those in the treatment group based on characteristics felt to be relevant to program outcomes.

A matching in a graph is a set of edges such that every vertex of the graph is on at most one edge in the set.

a set of edges in a (bipartite) graph on vertex set X Y such that none of them have a vertex in common with any of the others

a set of pairwise non-adjacent edges

The process of laying out veneers into a pattern when manufacturing wide sheets or panels. (see Book Match, Slip Match).

Joining veneers in a sequence according to their natural sequential order or to obtain specific dimensions and a pattern desired.

The process of joining sheets of veneer together so as to make a larger patterned sheet. As consecutive veneer leaves are cut from the tree, they are tied in bundles of 24, 28 and 32. These veneer leaves can be variously cut, Placed and arranged to create traditional designs and patterns.

The amount of institutional funds to be committed to the project as required by the sponsor, and its source. This “commitment” can include personnel salaries, fringe benefits, supplies, and other costs committed to but not paid for by the grant. The UTMB commitment may also include, with sponsor approval, indirect costs that have been waived. It is the Department’s responsibility to maintain and track cost records throughout the term of the grant.

The terms “matching” and “ cost sharing” are often used interchangeably, although “matching” typically refers to a situation in which sponsors require the university to “match” sponsor funding according to a specified ratio.
