A kernelized sparsity-based approach for best spectral bands selection for face recognition حسب Bouchech, H.J.

"…We formulate best spectral bands selection as a pursuit optimization problem wherein the vector of weights determining the importance of each visible spectral band is supposed to be sparse, and hence can be determined by minimizing its L1-norm. …"

Tandem osmotic engine based on hydrogel particles with antipolyelectrolyte and polyelectrolyte effect fuelled by both salinity gradient modes حسب Padmanabhan, Anjali Cheeramthodi

"…The swelling of hydrogel with a polyelectrolyte effect and shrinking of hydrogel particles possessing an antipoly-electrolyte effect in desalinated water, and subsequent shrinking of hydrogel with polyelectrolyte and swelling of hydrogel antipolyelectrolyte effect in saline water, generate power in both increasing and decreasing salinity modes. To investigate the energy recovery, we scrutinized osmotic engine assemblies by a setup arrangement of pistons with hydrogel particles, with polyelectrolyte and antipolyelectrolyte effects, in tandem. …"
