Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
The work aims to develop and comprehensively analyze an advanced overcurrent relay system for protecting power transmission networks. Overcurrent relays are critical components used either as main protection relays or as backup protection relays in the power transmission protection system. The primary function of these relays is to trip and disconnect the faulty circuit whenever the current exceeds a pre-defined threshold limit or pre-set current value. Ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical power systems heavily relies on the accuracy and performance evaluation of overcurrent relays. As a result, the design and simulation evaluation are conducted using the powerful MATLAB/Simulink platform. This paper presents an in-depth investigation into the design and performance assessment of an overcurrent relay, utilizing the MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment. By evaluating its effectiveness under various fault scenarios, including L-G (Line-to-Ground), L-L-G (Line-to-Line-Ground), and L-L-L-G (Line-to-Line-to-Line-Ground) faults with varying fault locations, the relay’s accuracy, selectivity, and response speed are comprehensively examined.

e-waste ,fly ash ,fine aggregate ,coarse aggregate ,Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Our reliance on electronics, a cornerstone of modern life, comes at a cost. The relentless pace of technological advancement generates mountains of discarded devices, creating the growing problem of electronic waste. This E-waste, if improperly disposed of, can contaminate landfills and release harmful materials into the environment. This study investigates a potential solution: using a portion of e-waste in place of fine aggregate. To improve overall performance, we also incorporate mineral admixtures. Our research aims to understand how both the amount of e-waste and the specific mineral admixtures used influence the final properties of the concrete. We systematically replaced the fine aggregate with e-waste at varying percentages (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) and meticulously analyzed the resulting effects. The study identifies 10% e-waste replacement as the optimal level for achieving desirable properties in M20 grade concrete, a commonly used strength classification. This approach offers a two-fold benefit. It tackles the e- waste crisis by providing a sustainable disposal option, and it potentially reduces the construction industry's reliance on virgin resources like natural sand, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Every year, trade winds periodically transport Saharan-Sahelian dust westwards across the Atlantic Ocean towards North America during the months of May-September. These intercontinental events episodically increase airborne particulate matter (PM) concentrations in parts of Texas potentially endangering public health and compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This article reviews unique methods we developed to identify and quantify African dust episodes when superposed on industrial emissions in Houston, Texas. We measured ~50 elements in PM2.5 and PM10 including trace metals and used them as inputs to a receptor model. This approach accurately tracked foreign-born aeolian aerosols demonstrating the validity of our procedure, which uses rare earth elements and transition metals to discriminate local and distal sources of dust. Our procedures can be directly extended to discriminate and quantify Asian dust mixed with anthropogenic PM in population centres without loss of generality if unique geochemical signatures for source and sink regions can be established.

During the design phase of engineering networks, a critical issue remains the selection of pipe diameters that minimize capital investments for transporting the heat carrier from the heat source to the consumers. Object of study: a pressurized pipeline of circular cross-section with a moving heat carrier. Subject of study: total monetary costs for transporting the heat carrier as a function of the chosen pipeline diameter. Objective of study: to determine the pipe diameter that achieves maximum cost savings for transporting the heat carrier under given design conditions. Research methods: theory of hydraulic calculation for circular cross-section pipelines and theory of heat transfer through a single-layer cylindrical wall under steady-state conditions. Research results: using an example from a centralized heating system pipeline section, it was established that for a mass flow rate of the heat carrier equal to 32.9 t/h, the optimal pipe size would be 76×3 mm (nominal diameter 70 mm). Under current tariffs for thermal energy (24.82 USD/Gcal) and electrical energy (6.65 USD/(MW⋅h)), the total monetary costs for transporting the heat carrier over a heating season would be 56.28 USD per 1 running meter of pipeline. In comparison, with a nominal diameter of 50 mm, the total costs amounted to 90.37 USD; with a diameter of 80 mm, the costs were 63.29 USD. The developed method for hydraulic design calculations is universal and can be applied in the design of engineering networks where the working medium is a moving heat carrier (steam or hot water).

This research investigates the efficacy of integrated Pest management (IPM) techniques in cucumber cultivation, focusing at the utilization of natural control strategies to reduce pest-associated losses and improve crop productivity. No matter the growing emphasis on biological strategies, their adoption remains limited because of several challenges, including market pressures, regulatory hurdles, and pest resistance. But, through promoting awareness, expertise, and collaboration among organic and IPM communities, barriers to adoption may be overcome. The study underscores the importance of monetary useful resource for natural control and advocates for its integration into sustainable crop protection practices. Through a comparative evaluation of IPM and non-IPM farming processes, the studies highlight the fee implications and profitability of implementing biological control measures in cucumber production. Findings reveal that even as IPM farmers incur higher initial expenses, they reap advanced internet returns and benefit-cost ratios in comparison to non-IPM counterparts, demonstrating the monetary viability and sustainability of IPM strategies in cucumber farming.

Internet of Things isn’t always approximately about the things themselves; it’s approximately being clever. IoT is real and helpful because of its ability to apply intelligence to sense facts, especially in the context of construction engineering. A smart building’s architecture is a great place to start as IoT is reshaping every aspect of a building, from design to occupancy to maintenance. The experience of workers, control, and tenants is being optimized through the use of IoT data to inform decision-making. Better facilities may simplify corporate processes and increase revenue in smarter homes. The goal of intelligent houses is sustainability. There are several methods for automating tasks with the Internet of Things. It is necessary to address every single facet of the building architecture. This article discusses the problems and technologies of IoT-based smart building architecture. The Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems provide the foundation of the “Smart Building” idea. Together with smart lighting in smart buildings and seismic detection, the model that is being shown has several features. When the smart lighting system turns on and off, it is determined by the amount of natural light available and the presence of people within the building. In order to reduce the amount of maintenance needed, smart dustbins that open up when they sense a person are available. Watering systems that are designed to measure the moisture content of the soil are extremely useful for the maintenance of lawns. A seismic activity detection module allows for early warnings of earthquakes and other seismic activity that may occur in the future. It has been successfully developed a smart building concept that uses Arduino and a cloud server to analyze the data gathered from the smart building.

During a few extremely distressing earthquakes in India, R.C.C. elevated water tanks suffered significant damage or collapsed. This may have been brought on by incorrect staging geometry as well as ignorance of how the tank's supporting system should behave in the event of an earthquake. The elevated water tank is made up of structural components such as footings, beams, columns, and slabs. Subjected loads are passed between these components and ultimately to the soil's sub-grade. When an overhead tank is advantageously analysed, the elevated water tank behaves differently for distinct types of loadings (Dead, Live, and Seismic). Various combinations of loads that support the possibility of occurrence are indicated by the codes for Indian standards. The primary goal of this research is to improve performance during earthquakes and complement conventional staging by better understanding the behaviour of various bracing systems. Equivalent static analysis of various bracing system types applied to the elevated circular water tank staging in the seismic zone are carried out using STAAD Pro. The axial force and maximum bending moment of the circular water tank are examined in the X, Y, and Z axes. Several models are used to calculate the axial force and maximum bending moment for staging with cross bracing, diagonal bracing, and alternating diagonal bracing.

Power electronics pertains to a category of devices that convert electrical power from one form to another. Semiconductor devices act as switches in power electronics circuits, serving as the central components responsible for voltage regulation. Power electronics circuits strive to convert electrical energy from one form to another, from source to load, while minimizing cost, size, and weight as much as possible. The term “rectification” refers to the power circuit which alters the ac characteristic of the line electric power in order to supply “rectified” ac power with a dc value at the load side. The rectifier is utilized to convert alternating current (AC) voltage into direct current (DC) or low-frequency AC in order to power different load configurations. The AC mains are subjected to the injection of low order current harmonics by the Conventional Phase Controlled Rectifier. These harmonics necessitate the use of filtering components of considerable size for effective attenuation. The paper explores the simulation of the Converter through various PWM techniques, including space vector pulse width modulation and sinusoidal pulse width modulation.

Hybrid standalone power supply system’s especially operating with renewable energy sources are becoming popular and establishing in many places worldwide. Two major renewable energy sources for electricity generation are solar and wind. Usually Photovoltaic modules (PVMs) are using for producing electricity from solar energy and in the similar way, PMSG based wind power conversion systems are becoming popular for medium power ranges. Therefore, a standalone hybrid system consisting of PVMs, wind, and battery can ensure a reliable power supply to various loads. The combination of these energy sources, along with the battery storage system, offers a flexible and dependable power supply to consumers at all times. This innovative approach involves the implementation of a novel control technique in a microgrid setup to uphold power quality at the PCC. The system integrates devices for maximizing power point to improve energy utilization efficiency. A DC to DC bidirectional circuit connects the battery bank unit (BBU) to the system to efficiently regulate energy. The bidirectional DC to DC circuit controls the dc-link voltage by accurately managing the discharging and charging of the battery. The three-phase inverter is situated between the AC loads and dclink, designed with a control system that ensures a constant RMS voltage at the PCC, regardless of changes in load and energy sources. MATLAB platform is used to present the results under various case studies in this paper.

The hybrid photovoltaic (PV)- wind based power generation systems are installing on many rooftops of individual houses, apartments, institutions, hospitals and small scale industries worldwide. Even though it is connected to single phase utility grid, a battery is used for backup power supply during power cuts. The diesel generators also can be integrated to this system for supplying continuous power long term. This configuration can establish a nanogrid under low power systems. Many loads are operated under this nanogrid system, hence a proper control technique is required to maintain power quality as well as to compensate reactive power. Compensating reactive power demanded in nanogrid through the inverter can reduce the reactive power demand on the main utility grid. Individual maximum power point tracker (MPPT) circuits are employed for both PV and wind to harvest maximum power. The system is synchronized with single phase utility grid through the control of the inverter. The proposed control method can able to regulate the phase voltage t its reference signal for improving the power quality. MATLAB Simulink platform is used to present the results for testing the performance of the proposed method.

The process of changing a soil’s physical characteristics to provide it long-term, permanent improvements in strength is known as soil stabilisation. Increasing a soil’s overall bearing capacity and shear strength is how stabilisation is achieved. After stabilisation, a solid monolith forms, reducing permeability and hence the possibility for shrinkage and swelling as well as the damaging impacts of freeze-thaw cycles. The goal of this study is to improve the physical characteristics of soils for better building results by investigating the potential of cement and rice husk ash (RHA) as soil stabilizing materials. Using RHA, a byproduct of milling rice, this study investigates alternate, environmentally friendly stabilization techniques with respect to the limits of traditional cement-based stabilization. The study assesses the impacts of different RHA and cement mixtures on soil’s Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index using a thorough experimental approach. The factorial experiment provides important insights into changes in soil plasticity over a 3x3 matrix under nine distinct settings. The results show that while larger RHA percentages considerably lower the Plasticity Index, indicating improved soil stability, increasing cement concentration generally rises the Liquid and Plastic Limits. The satisfactory combination, determined to be 15% RHA and 8% cement, presents a possible path closer to producing soil that is less plastic and more durable. This obseravtion helps to broaden sustainable, low-cost techniques of stabilizing soil at the same time as also shedding light on the synergistic impacts of cement and RHA on soil parameters.

Engineered soil qualities can be modified mechanically, chemically, or biologically to achieve soil stabilisation. Soil stabilisation is a method used in civil engineering to enhance and enhance a soil’s structural qualities. Mechanical strength, permeation, compressibility, resilience, and plasticity are some of these attributes. The systematic investigation of soil stabilization with fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as binders is presented in this work. The goal of using geopolymer technology is to enhance the mechanical qualities of clay soils for the building of road pavement by substituting conventional cementitious materials. The ideal ratio of Fly Ash to GGBS is found using a Taguchi experimental design technique, more precisely a L9 Orthogonal Array, with the goal of improving soil liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index. The effectiveness of various Fly Ash and GGBS ratios is assessed, as well as their influence on soil behavior. In order to develop models for predicting soil parameters, regression analysis is used. Diagnostic plots show a reasonable fit but also highlight small amounts of unexplained variability. These discoveries have important ramifications for sustainable construction methods and are essential for improving soil stabilizing procedures, especially when it comes to road pavement engineering.

Equivalent lateral forces are used in earthquake engineering to build structures that can survive seismic shocks. Considering seismic waves affect how the Earth moves, buildings in India’s seismically active areas must be built to withstand earthquakes. This study examines how multistorey reinforced concrete building frames function seismically while taking into account different soil types, loading scenarios, and seismic Zones IV. For a twelve-storey skyscraper, the analysis includes earthquake reaction storey displacement. This study looks into how soil changes in seismic zone IV affect buildings’ responses, as well as how seismic zones themselves affect them. The building’s natural time periods were evaluated using both response spectrum analysis and time history analysis methods. These results provide insightful information about the complex interaction between soil type and seismic zone, Member stresses and maximum displacement are calculated using static and dynamic analysis. In India’s seismically active region, the necessity for earthquake-resistant structures is highlighted by seismic waves that alter the motion of the earth. Response spectrum analysis combines modal responses via techniques including SRSS, CQC, and ABS, taking into account a variety of response modes. This study compares earthquake loads using various soil types in Zone IV to evaluate building performance during earthquakes. This project’s primary goal is to analyse a multistorey building’s seismic response. Staad Pro Software does load calculations in order to analyse the entire structure. Staad-Pro analysis employs the Limit State create approach, which complies with the Indian Standard Code of Practice.

The properties and compressive strength of hardened concrete are examined by destructive and non-destructive testing methods. There was no direct relationship between non-destructive testing results for existing concrete structures. This article describes the comparison between rebound and compression hammer tests of hardened concrete. It also describes the comparison of strength and cube compressive strength as well as the comparison of modulus of elasticity according to different standards.Destructive and non-destructive techniques were used in an experimental programme on various concrete mixtures, including M20, M25, and M30. A comprehensive technique was used for evaluating the compressive strength properties of concrete grades M20, M25, and M30, using both destructive and non-destructive testing methods. The impact strength, maximum load, Schmidt hammer, and uniaxial compression test findings have been also reviewed within the examination. The study’s primary purpose was to clarify the connections between specific evaluations technique and actual grades. Similarly, those connections were subjected to an in-depth validation technique using previously advanced formulation from previous research, which produced precious statistics about the assessment of concrete strength. These findings increase our understanding of concrete’s behaviour and provide essential path for destiny packages inside the engineering and construction industries, enabling properly-informed decision-making in those domains.

The subject of airfare is examined in this paper. As a result, a collection of factors that characterize a typical flight are selected under the presumption that they have an impact on airline ticket costs. The price of a plane ticket is influenced by the length of the trip, the location, the schedule, and several other factors, like holidays or vacations. Therefore, many people will surely save time and effort by having a basic awareness of airline expenses prior to making trip arrangements. The performance of the seven different machine learning (ML) models used to anticipate the price of airline tickets is compared after three datasets were analysed to acquire insight into airline fares. The objective is to investigate the factors that influence flight prices. The data can then be used to build a system that can predict how much a flight will cost.

The Brain Tumor (BT), which forms in the brain cells and spreads to the whole brain, may lead to death. Hence, early diagnosis of BT is significant. Still, the detection of BT between the skull and brain region is not concentrated, which results in misclassification outcomes. Thus, this article proposes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based BT detection and types’ classification utilizing Carlitz Exponential Hamilton Jacobi Bellman-based Reinforcement Learning (CEHJB-RL) and JenSorensen similarity-based Minimum Spanning Tree (JMST). Primarily, raw MRI images are taken and then pre-processed. Then, with skull and without skull regions are extracted from the pre-processed image and are subjected to the graph construction. Conversely, the edges are detected from the pre-processed image that can be patch-extracted and subjected to graph construction. By utilizing JMST and Morphological Operations (MO), the graphs are constructed. Thereafter, the features are extracted and fed to the classifier. Then, the type of BT is classified by the classifier using CEHJB-RL. Concerning the performance metrics, the outcomes illustrated that the proposed technique attained a higher accuracy (99.27%), which is better than other existing techniques.

When bodily cells transform and proliferate out of control, it is called cancer. Cells are the minuscule building blocks that make up your body. Normal cells develop as required by the organism and degenerate when no longer required. The aberrant cells that make up cancer develop even if your body doesn't require them to. The aberrant cells in the majority of malignancies develop into a bump or mass known as a tumor. Long enough for cancer cells to exist in the body, they can spread (invade) into surrounding regions. They may even spread to various body regions (metastasis). Two key turning points for the practical application of targeted therapy in lung cancer patients were the sequencing of the malignant tumors genome and the development of medicines that target driver mutations. Understanding euplastic cells and mutational mechanisms, along with how they change as tumors form and how different cancer cells differ genetically, are all necessary for this. It is hoped that ongoing global initiatives to systematically identify the most pertinent genetic alterations for each subgroup of pulmonary cancer will raise the proportion of tumors that always respond better to novel medications targeting different genetic profiles. Oral medicines with significantly higher responder rates and lower toxicity than chemotherapy can be used to target many genetic changes. Methology: Alternative: Brain, Bone, Liver, Contra lateral lung, Adrenal gland. Evaluation Preference: Squamous cell carcinoma, denocarcinoma, Small cell lung carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma Result: As a result, Adrenal gland and top ranking, whereas the Brain rating received a low ranking received Conclusion: The value of the dataset for Lung cancer in EDAS method shows that it results in Adrenal gland and top ranking.

The name “cryptography” comes from a Greek word that refers to the art of securing data by organizing it in a disorganized and unintelligible way. It combines software engineering with math. The explosive expansion of the Internet has led to a greater awareness of intriguing uncertainty concerns. Although security is the biggest concern when it comes to the internet, many apps have been developed and designed without taking confidentiality, authentication, and protection—the three essential components of data security—into account. Knowing these kinds of security problems and challenges is going to be more important as our daily activities rely more and more on data networks. Cryptography is necessary to prevent some unwanted customers or persons from gaining access to the data. This study presents a novel hybrid security cipher that combines the three most significant ciphers, such as the Caesar, Rail Fence and Vigenère ciphers. When compared to traditional ciphers, this hybrid encryption cipher offers more security.

The management of marine waste is an increasingly complex issue facing the world today. Our study provides an interesting take on the issue of marine waste by examining how Indonesian indigenous communities can deal with plastic marine pollution. While there is an obvious need for mitigating plastic use, for effective legislative policies regulating plastic waste management, and to do more to develop sustainable waste management practices; there are also opportunities for indigenous communities to take an innovative approach by using plastic waste in a manner that drives economic development from both non-market and neoliberal theoretical ideologies. As part of this assessment, alongside Indonesian examples we include examples of plastic re-use by indigenous communities of the Philippines and Australia. Moreover, our study highlights some of the areas in which this is being done in the fields of art and infrastructure development.

The current study focuses on the impact of firecrackers emission on particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and the noise was analyzed on pre, during, and post-Diwali 2022 period (5 days) in a residential area of Tamil Nadu state of India. The findings demonstrated that, for 24-hour mean values of PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations over the study period were consistently higher than the NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standard) permitted limit. On the day of Diwali, the mean CO concentration reaches 2.5 mg/m3, exceeding the NAAQSrecommended allowable limit of 2 mg/m3. The CO2 concentration during Diwali day is 1.8 times higher than the pre-Diwali day. In addition, the 24-hour mean concentration of TVOC during pre-Diwali, Diwali, and post-Diwali was found to be 915.21 µg/m³, 1513.52 µg/m³ and 1617.12 µg/m³ respectively which is quite higher than normal days. Furthermore, the average noise level in the study site during pre, during, and post-Diwali was found to be 57.71 dB (A), 75.5 dB (A), and 63.66 dB (A) respectively which were higher than the safer limit on the residential zone. As a result of the widespread usage of firecrackers during Diwali festivities, these pollutants are significantly increased, which may have a negative influence on the general public’s health.

Data clustering is frequently utilized in the early stages of analyzing big data. It enables the examination of massive datasets encompassing diverse types of data, with the aim of revealing undiscovered correlations, concealed patterns, and other valuable information that can be leveraged. The assessment of algorithms designed for handling large-scale data poses a significant research challenge across various fields. Evaluating the performance of different algorithms in processing massive data can yield diverse or even contradictory results, a phenomenon that remains insufficiently explored. This paper seeks to address this issue by proposing a solution framework for evaluating clustering algorithms, with the objective of reconciling divergent or conflicting evaluation outcomes. “The multicriteria decision making (MCDM) method” is used to assess the clustering algorithms. Using the EDAS rating system, the report examines six alternative clustering algorithms “the KM algorithm, EM algorithm, filtered clustering (FC), farthest-first (FF) algorithm, make density-based clustering (MD), and hierarchical clustering (HC)”—against, six clustering external measures. The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm has an ASi value of 0.048021 and is ranked 5th among the clustering algorithms. The Farthest-First (FF) Algorithm has an ASi value of 0.753745 and is ranked 2nd. The Filtered Clustering (FC) algorithm has an ASi value of 0.055173 and is ranked 4th. The Hierarchical Clustering (HC) algorithm has the highest ASi value of 0.929506 and is ranked 1st. The Make Density-Based Clustering (MD) algorithm has an ASi value of 0.011219 and is ranked 6th. Lastly, the K-Means Algorithm has an ASi value of 0.055376 and is ranked 3rd. These ASi values provide an assessment of each algorithm’s overall performance, and the rankings offer a comparative analysis of their performance. Based on the result, we observe that the Hierarchical Clustering algorithm achieves the highest ASi value and is ranked first, indicating its superior performance compared to the other algorithms.

The pipeline at the thermal power station is now being used to conveying fly ash in the form of slurry. The objective of this research is to investigate the rheological behaviour of slurry suspensions of finer particles (FA) with and without coarser particles added (BA). In terms of weight, the ratios of fly ash to bottom ash (BA) are as follows: 9:1, 8:1, 7:3, and 6:4 respectively. Experiments on the rheology of each and every sample of slurry are carried out at shear rates ranging from 100 to 250 seconds-1. The temperature of the slurry suspension might range anywhere from 25 to 35 °C when it has a solid concentration of 30% (by weight). When finer fly ash slurry particles are combined with coarser bottom ash particles, the rheological properties of the resulting slurry suspension are significantly improved in terms of sustainable flow. The exhaustive assessments also investigate whether or not it is possible to conveying ash slurry by pipeline through sustainability.

Les caractéristiques environnementales des écosystèmes aquatiques continentaux sont en grande partie héritées le long du réseau hydrographique. Leur estimation automatisée nécessite l'utilisation d'un réseau hydrographique jointif et orienté. Le réseau orienté actuellement disponible en France (drain principal naturel) a permis entre autres la modélisation de l'écoulement naturel, la mise en place de différentes typologies de cours d'eau et l'application de modèles écologiques à l'échelle nationale. Cependant ce réseau apparaît limité du fait de son manque de représentativité des cours d'eau de tête de bassin. Pour couvrir de manière plus complète les cours d'eau de moindre taille, nous présentons ici un réseau hydrographique étendu (RHE) complétant le réseau existant. Le RHE comporte 2,5 fois plus d'arcs que le drain principal naturel, et permet une meilleure représentation des têtes de bassin (petits cours d'eau, faibles distances à la source, pentes fortes).
