Road traffic accidents are one of the world’s most serious problems, as they result in numerous fatalities and injuries, well economic losses each year. Assessing factors that contribute to severity road injuries has proven be insightful. The findings may a better understanding potential mitigation risk associated with crashes. While ensemble learning approaches capable establishing complex non-linear relationships between input variables outcomes for purpose injury prediction...

This study evaluates the performance of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)-modified hot mix asphalt. Aggregate, bitumen grade 60/70 and crushed plastic bottle waste were utilized in this study. Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) was prepared using a high shear laboratory type mixer rotating at speed 1100 rpm with varying PET content 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% 10%, respectively. Overall, results preliminary tests suggested that hardened addition PET. Following optimum determination, various modified controlled...

The traditional method to obtain optimum bitumen content and the relevant parameters of asphalt pavements entails time-consuming, complicated expensive laboratory procedures requires skilled personnel. This research study uses innovative advanced machine learning techniques, i.e., Multi-Expression Programming (MEP), develop empirical predictive models for Marshall parameters, Stability (MS) Flow (MF) Asphalt Base Course (ABC) Wearing (AWC) flexible pavements. A comprehensive, reliable wide...

To undertake a reliable analysis of injury severity in road traffic accidents, complete understanding important attributes is essential. As result the shift from traditional statistical parametric procedures to computer-aided methods, machine learning approaches have become an aspect predicting injuries. The paper presents hybrid feature selection-based classification approach for detecting significant and single multiple-vehicle accidents. begin, we employed Random Forests (RF) classifier...

Pulp and paper industry generates effluent containing harmful compounds like chlorophenols which are difficult to biodegrade.It requires an appropriate treatment in order meet the stringent discharge standards.In this work, a bench scale column type sequential batch reactor (SBR) was employed for treating pulp wastewater.The performance of SBR, seeded with acclimatized sludge optimized analysed maximizing COD AOX removal.The process parameters viz; pH, initial COD, cycle time MLSS were their...

Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) not only reduces the cost of new asphalt mixtures but also conserve natural resources. To incorporate RAP in mix design, it is vital to know amount and quality residual binder. In this research both conventional Superpave methods were used determine virgin binder properties. The binders obtained from two sources using solvent extraction abson recovery blended with a different proportions. Penetration, ductility, dynamic modulus, stiffness viscosity...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to cover some aspects about the disposal and regulatory standard around world toward hospital effluent discharge, its managements treatment technologies that are adopted best suitable nowadays. Design/methodology/approach Due large variety antibiotics available in market nowadays it difficult control use, thereby risking whole ecosystem components. regulation pattern variable depending upon various factors different countries. permissible limit these...

High cost and complex fabrication process of inorganic membranes lower position pristine polymeric in the Robeson upper bound curve urged researchers to develop mixed matrix (MMMs). Cellulose acetate being most commercially used polymer, dominates market CO2 separation mainly because low environmental friendly resource. In present study, MMMs consists amine functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework (NH2-ZIF-8) cellulose triacetate were fabricated for first time. NH2-ZIF-8 was as a filler...

Ultraviolet radiation, oxidation, temperature, moisture, and traffic loads produce degradation brittleness in the asphalt pavement. Microcracks develop into macrocracks, which eventually lead to pavement failure. Although has an inherent capacity for self-healing, it is constricted. As a result, damages build beyond ability of repair themselves. This research employs in-situ crack healing method encapsulated rejuvenator technology enhance insufficient self-healing capability roads. allows...

ABSTRACT This study tested the hypothesis that antagonistic interactions between abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene mediate effects of soil compaction on shoot growth. Isogenic wild‐type (Ailsa Craig), ABA‐deficient ( notabilis ) a transgenic (ACO1 AS tomato genotype with reduced capacity to synthesize were examined. Exogenous ABA was also applied. Leaf area comparable when Ailsa Craig ACO1 grown in uncompacted (1·1 g cm − 3 or compacted (1·5 soil, but lower . However, 1·1/1·5 split‐pot...

With the increase in demand of flexible pavements, due to their various advantages over rigid there is a need improve aging properties bitumen order enhance its resistance against different types distresses such as rutting, fatigue cracking. This research focus on use one polymeric additive Polyethylene (PE) and non Sulphur (S) asphalt. These modifiers are evaluated for effect mechanism comparison with unmodified bitumen. Aging original modified realized by Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO)...

Currently, cellulose acetate (CA) membranes dominate membrane-based CO2 separation for natural gas purification due to their economical and green nature. However, lower permeability ease of plasticization are the drawbacks. To overcome these weaknesses, we have developed high-performance mixed matrix (MMMs) consisting triacetate (CTA), diacetate (CDA), amine functionalized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (NH2-ZIF-8) separation. The NH2-ZIF-8 was chosen as a filler because (1) its pore size...

The contemporary traffic safety research comprises little information on quantifying the simultaneous association between drink driving and speeding among fatally injured drivers. Potential correlation driver's behavior poses a substantial methodological concern which needs investigation. This study therefore focused investigating impact of socioeconomic factors, fatalities, vehicle ownership, health services highway agency road policies enforcement levels speed limit laws. effectiveness...

In civil aviation, severe weather conditions such as strong wind shear, crosswinds, and thunderstorms near airport runways often compel pilots to abort landings ensure flight safety. While aborted due shear are not common, they occur under specific environmental situational circumstances. This research aims accurately predict aircraft using three advanced deep learning techniques: the conventional neural network (DNN), cross (DCN), wide (WDN). These models supplemented by various data...
