Abstract

Low-voltage direct current (LVDC) microgrids are increasingly utilized due to their efficiency and compatibility with distributed energy resources (DERs) and direct current (DC) loads, eliminating the need for multiple energy conversions. However, the protection of LVDC systems presents significant challenges, including high fault currents and the vulnerability of electronic devices. Traditional electromechanical circuit breakers are inadequate due to their slow response times. This work presents a protection approach for the DC bus in LVDC microgrids that combines a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with a solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB). The FLC is designed to detect and respond to faults rapidly by processing input variables such as current magnitude and rate of change of current. The FLC controls the SSCB, which interrupts fault currents quickly and reliably. The proposed system demonstrates optimized fault-clearing times within milliseconds, significantly enhancing the protection and reliability of LVDC microgrids. This novel solution protects critical electronic components while also ensuring the microgrid's operational integrity. The FLC approach is utilized for optimizing fault-clearing duration within milliseconds.

Abstract

Oil-immersed transformers are subjected to electrical, thermal, and mechanical stresses over time, which inevitably affect the insulating oil and paper insulation. The presence of sulphur corrosion also degrades the insulating oil and paper insulation. Sulphur corrosion in insulating oils has been a prevalent problem for many years, as it culminates in the failure of oil-immersed transformers. The longevity of oil-immersed transformers is dependent on the integrity of the insulating oil and paper insulation, which can deteriorate owing to sulphur corrosion. The occurrence and accumulation of copper sulphide (Cu2S) can result in transformer malfunctions, which is a significant issue for transformer manufacturers and operators. This paper provides a concise overview of the effects of sulphur corrosion, its detection methods, as well as its mitigation strategies. It is believed that this paper will enhance the understanding of sulphur corrosion in insulating oils, provide the best practices for sulphur corrosion management, and serve as guidance on enhancing transformer reliability and performance.

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of modern trends and prospects for the use of solar batteries in various sectors of the economy and the agricultural sector. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibility of energy saving for a private residential building in Gobustan using solar energy storage in a greenhouse extension and a heat pump to transfer heat to the heating system. The calculation showed that in the coldest month, December, the potential of solar thermal energy is 15-38% of the required heat demand, depending on the material used in the extension design. In March and April, excess heat is generated, which can be used for hot water supply needs. Thus, for an individual residential building, the use of solar heat accumulated in a greenhouse extension is relevant as an additional source of heat for the heating system.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of educational attainment in mobile banking (m-banking) adoption in Ghana, leveraging data from 598 respondents through a multi-group analysis. By integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) into a structural equation modelling framework, the research examines key factors such as subjective norms, perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust, and self-efficacy. Results reveal significant differences in adoption behaviors between lower- and higher-educated users. Subjective norms strongly influence higher-educated individuals, while perceived ease of use drives adoption among lower-educated users. Perceived usefulness positively affects higher-educated users but has a negative impact on lower-educated respondents. The findings highlight the moderating effect of education level on the adoption process, offering theoretical and practical insights into targeted strategies for enhancing financial inclusion in developing economies. These results underscore the importance of user segmentation in fostering broader acceptance and utilization of m-banking technologies.

Abstract

This study investigated the potential of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from Sacha Inchi oil as a therapeutic agent for cervical cancer through an in vitro study on HeLa cells. Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women, which is often caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although chemotherapy therapy is one of the main methods in cancer treatment, this approach often causes side effects and drug resistance. ALA, which is one of the main components of Sacha Inchi oil, is known to have antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. In this study, Sacha Inchi oil was analyzed using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) for identification of its active components. Cytotoxic assays were performed using the MTT method on HeLa cells, which showed that ALA significantly inhibited cancer cell viability at low concentrations, with low IC50 values compared to the positive control compound cisplatin. These results suggest that ALA has potential as an effective anti-cancer agent against cervical cancer cells. This study concludes that ALA from Sacha Inchi oil can be a strong candidate in the development of safer and more effective cervical cancer therapy.

Abstract

Haystack is Facebook's unique way of managing large amounts of user-generated content like photos. The architecture prioritizes performance, reliability, and scalability to overcome network-attached storage system bottlenecks. Haystack speeds data access and ensures data integrity during hardware failures by using physical and logical volumes. This study examines the architecture of Facebook's Haystack data storage system and its effects on scalability and efficiency in handling large photo data. According to the study, the store, directory, and cache functions work together to reduce input/output (I/O) operations and improve metadata processing, which traditional network-attached storage systems cannot do. Haystack manages massive photo data storage and retrieval, solving network-attached storage (NAS) limitations. It balances throughput and latency by minimizing disk operations and optimizing metadata processing. Each store, directory, and cache contribute to this ecosystem. The Haystack architecture reduces disk operations and metadata processing bottlenecks with distributed caching. A cache allows instant access to frequently requested images and balances read and write operations across the system. We should study advanced storage system architectures based on Facebook's Haystack architecture. This could involve investigating faster metadata processing algorithms, using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve fault detection and repair systems, and assessing the economic impact of distributed caches.

Abstract

When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, paper trash could release dissolved organic matter (DOM) as a disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor in water. This study was undertaken to assess the regulated DBPs, trihalomethanes-4 (THM4) generation potential, and estimated cytotoxicity of paper trash soaked in water during UV radiation. The UV irradiation was carried out at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours. The released organic material was determined using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) adsorption at wavelengths ranging from 200 to 700 nm. Chlorination was carried out for 24 hours to determine THM4 formation potentials. According to the research findings, the longer the radiation period, the more THM4 species are formed in plain paper samples. On the other hand, the production of trichloromethane (TCM) on paper samples containing writing decreased as the UV radiation period increased. THM4 levels reached 103.12 and 150.57 µg/L for plain and writing paper samples, respectively. UV absorbance at 272 nm (A272) shows a 92% association with THM4 production, making it suitable as an initial characterization approach. Paper trash pollution in water could form carcinogenic DBPs, THM4, if used as a water source in a water treatment plant using chlorine disinfection.

Abstract

Asphalt, a crucial component of transportation infrastructure, particularly in regions with high traffic loads and extreme climates, often lacks the necessary elasticity, strength, and durability. Various asphalt modifiers have been explored, but many struggle with cost, thermal stability, and environmental impact. This study, however, investigates maleic-modified rosin ester, a gum rosin derivative, as a sustainable and cost-effective asphalt modifier. The base asphalt was heated to 150-190 °C, sheared at 100 rpm, and combined with 4-20% maleic rosin ester and sulfur. The modified asphalt was subjected to tests, including penetration, softening point, ductility, density, kinematic viscosity, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests. The results are promising, showing that maleic rosin ester enhances penetration resistance and softening points while maintaining ductility and viscosity within acceptable limits. Chemical analysis confirmed improved adhesion, crosslinking, and thermal stability, making the modified asphalt more deformation-resistant. This suggests that maleic-modified rosin ester is a viable alternative to synthetic polymers, offering improved durability and sustainability. The enhanced durability of the modified asphalt provides confidence in its long-term performance, making it a reliable choice for transportation infrastructure.

Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation in both single input single output (SISO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems is conducted using MATLAB. The investigation focuses on evaluating QPSK performance with metrics such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER) across diverse channel conditions. Furthermore, the study extends to encompass the integration of QPSK with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), with a particular emphasis on assessing spectral efficiency and error rate implications. To validate the accuracy of the simulations, QPSK and QPSK-OFDM configurations are implemented on the WiComm-T hardware platform, enabling a direct comparison of real-world performance metrics against simulation results. By offering practical insights and recommendations for the deployment of robust communication systems, this research underscores the inherent advantages of integrating OFDM with QPSK across both SISO and MIMO configurations.
