Constrained independent component analysis (CICA) is capable of eliminating the order ambiguity that is found in the standard ICA and extracting the desired independent components by incorporating prior information into the ICA contrast function. However, the current CICA method produces constraints that are based on only one type of prior information (temporal/spatial), which may increase the ...

In the present work, authors prepared nanocomposite cotton gauze cloth (NCGC) by in situ generating nanoparticles of silver (ANPs) and copper (CuNPs) their binary metallic (BMNPs) using aqueous extraction Azadirachta indica leaves as a reducing agent. The NCGCs had roughly spherical AgNPs, CuNPs BMNPs size range 50–120 nm. corresponding mean was 94, 89 87 nm respectively. participation hydroxyl...
