To optimize cost time sector, application of machine learning (ML) methods is now prevalent accurately estimating characteristics. Accordingly, present study focuses on utilizing novel ML techniques that include...

Given the increasing risks that antibiotic abuse poses to microecology and human health, it is imperative develop incredibly powerful adsorbents. This study investigated use of environmentally sustainable polymeric nanocomposite based on gum arabic (GA) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized via co-precipitation method form magnetitic (GA-MNPs) as an efficient adsorbent for ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal from aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties morphology GA-MNPs were...

Plastic sand paver blocks provide a sustainable alternative by using plastic waste and reducing the need for cement. This innovative approach leads to more construction sector promoting environmental preservation. No model or Equation has been devised that can predict compressive strength of these blocks. study utilized gene expression programming (GEP) multi-expression (MEP) develop empirical models forecast (PSPB) comprised plastic, sand, fibre in an effort advance field. The database...

Abstract Owing to great environmental benefits, end-of-life waste tires are often used in concrete as a partial replacement for aggregates. However, the use of deteriorates fundamental properties. For better knowledge various characteristics with and highlight ways improve them, this study was conducted. purpose, effect on fresh properties such workability, air content, unit weight reviewed. Moreover, influence mechanical compressive strength, flexural splitting tensile modulus elasticity...

Plastic sand paver blocks (PSPB) provide a sustainable alternative by reprocessing plastic waste and decreasing reliance on environmentally hazardous materials such as concrete. They promote management favorable building practices. This paper presents novel method for estimating the compressive strength (CS) of based gene expression programming (GEP) techniques. The database collected from experimental work comprises 135 results. Seven input parameters were involved in predicting CS PSPB,...

The industrial revolution brought environmental degradation to light. Concrete and plastic degrade the ecosystem cause unsustainable development. Academic sectors are interested in lowering carbon emissions associated with concrete. Meanwhile, global sand scarcity worries environmentalists. To reach sustainable development goals, cement fine aggregate must be substituted other abundant waste/natural materials. This study aimed develop a green concrete by utilizing waste creating modelling...

Abstract The well-known fact of metallurgy is that the lifetime a metal structure depends on material's corrosion rate. Therefore, applying an appropriate prediction process for manufactured metals or alloys trigger extended life product. At present, current models additive are either complicated built restricted basis towards depletion. This paper presents novel approach to estimate rate and potential by considering significant major parameters such as solution time, aging temperature, test...

The incorporation of nanomaterials (NMs) in concrete will produce the utmost properties. Nevertheless, investigational work takes a great deal time with efforts to measure strength concrete. Thus, process estimating properties cement paste can be accelerated by employing soft machine learning (SML) techniques. Individual approaches (MLAs) like random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), and support vector (SVM) were utilized. These individual MLAs models then ensemble two namely bagging...

Fluid–structure interaction has been widely studied in the last few decades due to its wide range of applications engineering fields. This phenomenon plays an important design role, for example, offshore risers, high slender buildings, chimney stacks and heat exchangers. The vortex shedding generated from a bluff body can induce high-amplitude oscillations, known as vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). study presents numerical analysis investigate impact surface roughness on VIV crossflow...

A recently introduced bendable concrete having hundred times greater strain capacity provides promising results in repair of engineering structures, known as hardening cementitious composites (SHHCs). The current research creates new empirical prediction models to assess the mechanical properties strain-hardening (SHCCs) i.e., compressive strength (CS), first crack tensile stress (TS), and flexural (FS), using gene expression programming (GEP). Wide-ranging records were considered with...

University teachers' methods are essential for students learning. At this point, teachers can teach how to think critically, which helps them solve problems that important a country's social and economic progress. Teachers help get ready their future jobs. They also show what do. So, must know them. use complicated teaching tactics intentions when teaching. The Approaches Teaching Inventory is reliable valid survey tool used in quantitative study look at university professors Punjab,...

The ground aspects of phenomenological perspective provide a wide range the literary study in collaboration with theories single exception Marxism that cannot be studied better perspectives; rather, critical ones. relationship and common grounds is highlighted current through descriptive method research. illustrates this perspectives considering previous studies for which Jane Austen’s Pride Prejudice taken as sample.

Uncontrolled urbanization has harmfully affected the physical environment, structure of cities, and, therefore, people's and mental well-being. The strong link between health, well-being, architecture needs consideration. This paper attempts to identify factors that make places well-being anddesign interventions toimprove or create well-being.For this research, field surveys, questionnaires, andobservationswere conducted in public areas Abbottabad, Pakistan. All indicators a city,either weak...

Selected discourse is the tool to turn situation in favour of political parties. Choices make one positive and other as “false” but it possesses ideological powers for its own legitimation. Present study qualitative, adopted analyze speeches PDM (Pakistan Democratic Movement) which has been alliance opposition parties against PTI Tehreek-e-Insaf) regime till March 2022. The objective underlying leaders. qualitative are transcribed into English. extracts taken analysis from results show that...

The goal of this study is to find out how work-family conflict (WFC) affects the quality service that female school faculty provide. A healthy balance between work and personal life includes both activities. Because their workloads are getting bigger, it's harder for women members family life. gender gap puts more stress on faculty, which makes it them give good care. This uses a positivist research paradigm get information from teachers in Pakistan's Lahore District public schools. focus...

This research explores repressive state apparatuses with reference to Shehnaz Bashir’s debut novel The Half Mother (2014). throws light on the handling of executive institutions like police, army and judiciary by against group people who go ideologies state. In doing so, reaction various characters sponsored terrorism extremism, as depicted in (2014), are examined evaluated.
