The project aimed to determine whether molasses waste, a byproduct of sugar manufacturing, could replace cement in concrete sustainably and economically. study concentrated on analyzing specimens' performance at various curing ages measuring the compressive strength those specimens with varying waste replacement percentages. Six samples were cast for each ratio compression tests, tests carried out two 7 days, 14 28 days. Replacement ratios 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.75%, 1%, 2% considered....

Tourism activities are changing the global landscape pattern. This study attempted to estimate changes in Land Use Cover (LULC) and Surface Temperature (LST) District Buner Shangla, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, specifically its tourist spots. Using remote sensing data from satellites (1990–2020) future projections (2035–2050), we applied Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Cellular Automata Markov (CA-Markov) models examine past LULC LST dynamics across two districts including four major...

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is one of the promising alternative energy source that can decrease adverse effect greenhouse gas emissions. However, predicting output voltage PEMFC difficult because its non-linear characteristic. Thus, in this paper modern backtracking search algorithm (BSA) applied for modeling and extracting model parameters. Initially some experiments are performed on system while changing load linearly. The parameters optimized using BSA with root mean square...

The rapid growth in renewable energies has given rise to their integration into the grid system. These and clean energy sources are dependent on external conditions such as wind speed, solar irradiation, temperature. For a stable connection between these power systems, controller is necessary regulate system’s closed-loop dynamic behavior. A sliding mode control (SMC) using new reaching law proposed for of Modified Capacitor-Assisted Extended Boost (MCAEB) quasi-Z Source 7 level 18 switch...

3 Abstract: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and performance of oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) on different substrates. substrates used in study were T1 (100% C.W), T2 (50% C.W + 50% Banana leaves), T3 (75% 25% T4 Maize leaves) T5 leaves). numbers days complete mycelium reach harvesting stage decreased treatments when compared others followed by T 2. matured mushrooms greater 1, 2 T5. Total yield significantly higher 1 (125 g), (121 g) (119.8 respectively. maximum...

The atmospheric increase in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has greatly impacted plant growth and health, which have been mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels agricultural practices. Although diatomic N2 constitutes more than 78% composition, it is less reactive not absorbed directly by plants. Since human activity increases nitrogen, NO2 one such highly species. significant photochemical reactions its interesting physicochemical characteristics a density that 1.59 times denser air.
