  Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of numerous tiny sensors which can be regarded as a robust tool for collecting and aggregating data in different data environments. The energy of these small sensors is supplied by a battery with limited power which cannot be recharged. Certain approaches are needed so that the power of the sensors can be efficiently and optimally utilized. One of the notable approaches for reducing energy consumption in WSNs is to decrease the number of packets to be transmitted in the network. Using data aggregation method, the mass of data which should be transmitted can be remarkably reduced. One of the related methods in this approach is the data aggregation tree. However, it should be noted that finding the optimization tree for data aggregation in networks with one working-station is an NP-Hard problem. In this paper, using cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA), a data aggregation tree was proposed which can optimize energy consumption in the network. The proposed method in this study was compared with genetic algorithm (GA), Power Efficient Data gathering and Aggregation Protocol- Power Aware (PEDAPPA) and energy efficient spanning tree (EESR). The results of simulations which were conducted in matlab indicated that the proposed method had better performance than GA, PEDAPPA and EESR algorithm in terms of energy consumption. Consequently, the proposed method was able to enhance network lifetime. Manuscript profile

  Face recognition is a pattern recognition process that is specifically performed on faces. Face recognition has many applications in identifying credit cards, security systems, and other cases. Creating a face recognition system with high accuracy is a big challenge that has been the focus of various researchers in recent years. The feature extraction process and classification are two important issues in diagnosis systems that can play a significant role in increasing the accuracy of diagnosis. Considering this issue, in this study, taking into account the combined features and optimizing the cuckoo algorithm, a method to improve the accuracy of face recognition is proposed. In the presented method, seven features are extracted from the images in the database, and then by obtaining the feature vector, the steps related to feature selection are performed using the cuckoo algorithm. The proposed method has been implemented with MATLAB software and compared with other methods. The evaluation results show that the proposed method was able to perform the detection on the images of ORL and FDBB databases with 93.00% and 95.12% accuracy, respectively. The result obtained for this evaluation criterion has a higher value than other compared methods. Manuscript profile
