This study reported the reduction of metal Hg(II) from water using natural kaolinite (NK) based adsorbents compared with modified kaolinite adsorbents with Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide anionic surfactants using ultrasonic technology (SMK). These adsorbent samples were characterized using several different techniques such as FTIR, X-RD and AAS analysis. The adsorption capacity is influenced...
Biodegradable polymers are seen as a potential solution for the environment generated by plastic waste. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of adding a catalyst to the manufacture of PLA/PCL-Catechin-Chitosan as a raw material for making plastics . This research was carried out with variations in the addition of ZnO catalyst 0.1 % (PPXya), 0.2% (PPXyb) and 0.3% (PPXyc ). From the...
Aiming at the problems in hyperspectral image classification, such as high dimension, small sample and large computation time, this paper proposes a band selection method based on subspace clustering, and applies it to hyperspectral image land cover classification. This method considers each band image as a feature vector, clustering band images using subspace clustering method. After that, a...
In AES MixColumns operation, the branch number of circulant matrix is raised from 5 to 9 with 8´8 circulant matrices that can be enhancing the diffusion power. An efficient method to compute the circulant matrices in AES MixColumns transformation for speeding encryption is presented. Utilizing 8´8 involutory matrix multiplication is required 64 multiplications and 56 additions in in AES...
This paper attempts to develop techniques of examination and evaluation of urban land, for the purpose of determining the degree of comfortability and livability in small towns, using Obudu town as a focal point.The paper shows that, it is possible to allocate a number of natural (physical), man-made (anthropogenic) and public (social) performance indicators by which one can judge the quality of...
