Clustering approach is a widely used technique in wireless sensor networks to exchange information between various nodes, for enhancing the performance and energy efficiency. In this paper, a Timeline approach for energy efficient cluster formation with Hybrid Optimization encompassing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is proposed. Timeline Cluster formation Algorithm (TLCA) incorporates multi-individual metrics in cluster formation and energy efficient optimization technique for multiple sensor nodes. The proposed technique is to implement time based elemental approach for each protocol in which each node makes information based on local and global decisions. The performance of the proposed method is compared with other clustering protocols with respect to energy level consumed and network life time. The elicit of the proposed technique is demonstrated with simulation results. The simulation results show that TLCA can produce time based network topology and reduce network cluster size.Keywords

Investigations were undertaken to study the physiological effectiveness of different ornamental succulents under tropical condition. Six species of succulents were evaluated under four different growing environments. Results showed that the performance of succulents grown under conservatory house condition was found to be performed well and ideal with respect to chlorophyll, carotenoids, relative water content and photosynthetic rate than other growing environments. The succulent species viz., Haworthia limifolia, Monadenium lugardiae and Aloe juvenna were the most suitable species for growing under conservatory house condition due to its high nocturnal CO2 uptake and cell sap acidification which possess CAM metabolism. CAM involves nocturnal CO2 uptake and fixation by cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase into malic acid that is stored in the vacuole causing nocturnal cell sap acidification. During the subsequent light period, malic acid is released from the vacuole in the form of malate that is then decarboxylated leading to deacidification of cell sap, formation of pyruvate or phosphoenolpyruvate and liberation of CO2. Repeated acidification and deacidification cycles represent a characteristic physiological feature of CAM metabolism in succulents which is best suited for xeric environment and possess high photosynthetic efficiency.Keywords

The investment in automated fabric defect detection is more than economical when reduction in labor cost and associated benefits are considered. The development of fully automated web inspection system requires robust and efficient fabric defect detection algorithms. The inspection of real fabric defects is particularly challenging due to the large number of fabric defect classes which are characterized by their vagueness and ambiguity. Numerous techniques have been developed to detect fabric defects and the purpose of this paper is to categorize and/or describe these algorithms. This paper attempts to present the first survey on fabric defect detection techniques presented in about 160 references. Categorization of fabric defect detection techniques is useful in evaluating the qualities of identified features. The characterization of real fabric surfaces using their structure and primitive set has not yet been successful. Therefore on the basis of nature of features from the fabric surfaces, the proposed approaches have been characterized into three categories; statistical, spectral and model-based. In order to evaluate the state-of-the-art, the limitations of several promising techniques are identified and performances are analyzed in the context of their demonstrated results and intended application.
