The face images are the first extracted illumination-invariant components by the Weber-face method. Secondly, SVD is applied to the encoded images. Next, the training encoded images are extracted features based on local binary patterns or local ternary patterns. Finally, in the classification phase, the singular value matrix of a test image is combined with those of the training images to adjust the illumination of the test image before the features are extracted and classified. The recognition is performed using a nearest neighbor classifier with Chi-square as a dissimilarity measure. Experimental results on the extended Yale B database demonstrated the efficiency of our proposed method. Thus, the proposed approach is expected to contribute to the face recognition problem under varying illumination conditions.","PeriodicalId":340479,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133788842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental data indicated that pH and adsorbent dose positively affected the adsorption process of U(VI) by ARHA, however, this effect was partially offset by the effect of the initial concentration. The highest adsorption percentage for U(VI) observed at pH of 6.14, adsorbent dose of 0.478 g and U(VI) initial concentration of 38.93 mg/l. With five cycles desorption/adsorption without changing the adsorption efficiency, it could be concluded that ARHA is a promising adsorbent for uranium removal.","PeriodicalId":340479,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134032277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are still a lot of non-adaptive problems in that algorithm, such that network initialization problem, continuous nodes broken problem and node outliers problem. Those problems could make the whole network stay in unstable state when the special conditions bring out. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive linked-list routing algorithm with wormhole mechanism. By proposed the Lock-address mechanism fundamentally, we can make the stable chain scission, reset sequentially and cutting timer determination mechanism for broken nodes. In simulation, the performance of network initialization of adaptive linked-list routing algorithm with wormhole mechanism and flooding is compared and simulated by NS3 in this paper. The simulations results reveal that the initialization of adaptive linked-list routing algorithm with wormhole mechanism is more efficient than flooding when nodes are 5 meters apart and a matrix model of nodes number from 7*7 to 15*15.","PeriodicalId":340479,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133643239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
