Abstract

The excessive use of wood as a raw material in furniture industries has raised environmental concerns that have attracted the attention of many individuals. Consequently, various innovations have been explored in developing alternative materials for the furniture industry. One promising resource that has the potential to be developed as a raw material for furniture applications is Nipah palm husk. Nipah palm husk is classified as an agricultural waste that is barely used within society and industries. Hence, in this study, Nipah palm husk will be utilized as the primary material to fabricate particle board by involving tapioca as an adhesive. This research aimed to investigate the effect of tapioca concentrations on water absorption, modulus elasticity, modulus of rupture, and screw-holding strength of the produced Nipah palm husk particleboard. The results of this study showed that the particle board produced with a 40% tapioca adhesive concentration exhibited the most favorable physical and mechanical properties with a water absorption rate of 25%, an elastic modulus of 21188.93 kg/cm2, a modulus of rupture of 55.53 kg/cm2, and a screw holding power of 7.53 kg. The findings indicated that Nipah-based particle board has the potential to be developed as an alternative for the furniture industry.

Abstract

The quest for innovative and superior materials is a challenge in the realm of materials science and engineering. Traditional materials often fall short in meeting the demands of modern industries, especially in the military. Technological developments in the military domain are still progressing, one of which involves a new material for combat vehicle applications: a laminated composite. In this research, a composite consisting of AA7075 sheet metal and kevlar with epoxy resin and TiC nanopowder were prepared. A test was conducted to assess its performance in absorbing ballistic energy from projectiles. Solid Thickening Fluid (STF) was created by mixing TiC nanopowder with PEG-400 through 2 hours of stirring. The laminate composite structure was prepared using the hand layup method, followed by a drying process at room temperature. The addition of kevlar layers yielded promising results in the ballistic and impact tests, as the diameter of the perforation decreased progressively with each additional kevlar layer. The IK sample impact test value improved by 35.7% compared to the unimpregnated one. The production process of this material also consumes minimal energy, which suggest a potential for environmental sustainability.

Abstract

A steady, two-dimensional flow of biomagnetic fluid namely blood flow with copper nanoparticles across a stretchable sheet that is affected by a strong magnetic field and thermal radiation is investigated in this study. Copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) were used for this study because of their important applicability in biomedical research. Thus, the properties of copper nanoparticles render it an antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal material. Similarity substitutions were applied to reduce the nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. Utilizing the MATLAB R2018b software bvp4c function technique, the physical solution was established. This model's pertinent dimensions, such as the ferromagnetic parameter, the magnetic field parameter, the radiation parameter, the suction parameter, the ratio parameter, the slip parameter, and the Prandtl Number, were computationally and graphically inspected about the dimensionless velocity, temperature, skin friction, and heat transfer rate. One of the pivotal observations was that a rise in the ferromagnetic parameter and Prandtl number drops the temperature and velocity, correspondingly. A cross-case analysis with the outcome of other published research is also executed for divergent parameter values. Based on the investigations, copper nanoparticles may be advantageous for biomedical purposes and lessen the hemodynamics of stenosis. Owing to the research, copper nanoparticle-concentrated blood exhibits a reduced flow impedance and a larger temperature changeability compared to sheer blood.

Abstract

Multi-soil-layering (MSL) is well-known as an emerging technology for wastewater treatment. However, limited studies have been conducted on the crumb rubber industry. Thus, this study aims to reduce the crumb rubber industrial wastewater using MSL system. Four models of MSL conducted it. They are (1) constructed by body size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil and fine charcoal; (2) body size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil, fine charcoal, sawdust, and iron particles; (3) tube size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil and fine charcoal; and (4) tube size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil, fine charcoal and sawdust. The construction models were installed in the variance of the box and each of them was flowed by the Hydraulic Loading Rate of wastewater. Aeration treatment is given to the maximum hydraulic loading rate. The result showed that MSL systems significantly minimize the crumb rubber industrial wastewater under requirements that cover Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Total Nitrogen (T-N) and Total ammonia (T-NH3). It also significantly neutralizes the power of Hydrogen (pH) up to 6. The highest reduction was obtained by the MSL 3 system (tube size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil and fine charcoal). The aeration significantly decreased the BOD, COD, TSS, and ammonia from 85% to 99%. Although the aeration process enhanced the performance of MSL system, however, MSL without aeration successfully treated the wastewater to meet the required standard. This study provides new insight into the effectiveness of MSL system in reducing pollutant parameters of crum rubber industrial wastewater.

Abstract

Currently, an influential factor contributing to thermal comfort home design is the incorporation of energy-efficient passive design principles. It is exemplified by strategic window placement, the utilization of thermally efficient materials, and effective insulation. It exerts a substantial influence on thermal comfort and electrical consumption. This paper examines the effect of building shape and window-to-wall ratio (WWR) on thermal comfort and lighting energy consumption in residential houses in tropical climates. The lighting electricity and the adaptive thermal discomfort hours of 30 different models of houses were obtained using OpenStudio and EnergyPlus simulation software. The models were developed for three building shapes (square, rectangle, and L-shaped), and each model was varied in five models of window-to-wall ratios. Results indicate that the square-shaped model with a WWR of 10% will provide the lowest energy consumption in thermal comfort had 420.45 kWh/m2. On the other side, the lowest energy consumption in lighting is the square-shaped model with a WWR of 50% had 507.95 kWh/m2. Thus, the recommendation is to use the square-shaped house that represents the most efficient air conditioning system while the other WWR set also produce the most natural luminaire. It is because the percentage of WWR increased will result in more energy consumption in air cooling but slightly lower energy consumption in lighting. However, when considering aesthetics and freshness, the WWR of the 50% model will offer a better deal.

Abstract

Activated carbon is widely used for its diverse adsorptive abilities, with a vast range of current and emerging uses. This study developed a data set for high-performing activated carbon, its adsorption abilities with differing adsorbents, and an understanding of what deviations are present compared to the widely used adsorption models. This study included the construction of Tóth isotherms in varying conditions. Building a strong isotherm correlation is desired, with an understanding of the relationship between the pores of the activated carbon sample, operating parameters, and the adsorbent. The present data could complement efforts in designing adsorbed natural gas storage systems. Experimental data was collected using a Constant Volume Variable Pressure (CVVP) apparatus, consisting of a temperature-regulated vessel containing the activated carbon sample dosed with varying adsorbents through a controlled dosing vessel. Analysis of the derived data gave a well-fitted Tóth adsorption isotherm, giving the maximum specific adsorption capacity of the activated carbon to be 2.28 g of propane per gram of activated carbon with a standard error of regression

Abstract

The waste collection stage generated 70% of the cost of the total Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management system. Therefore, choosing the most affordable waste collection method is essential to accurately estimate the waste collection and transportation costs, thus selecting the required vehicle capacity. The study aims to design a waste collection system for calculating waste collection and transportation costs using a systematic framework that includes Hybridized Ant Colony Optimization (HACO) with Sequential Variable Neighborhood Search Change Step (SVNSCS) and Sequential Variable Neighborhood Decent (SVND). The framework addresses a Dynamic Capacity of Vehicle Routing Problem (DCVRP) and improves ACO's ability in exploration and exploitation stages. The objectives are to minimize the cost of travel distance and arrival time formulated in a mathematical model and to design a new strategy for eliminating the sub-tour problem in the following steps: (1) minimize the number of routes assigned, (2) increase the amount of waste in the vehicle capacity, and (3) define the best amount of waste allowed in vehicle capacity. The waste collection system compared HACO with ACO across four benchmark datasets. The results indicate HACO outperformance ACO at 100%, 91%, 100%, and 87%, respectively. The visualization results demonstrated that HACO has fast convergence and can be considered another essential tool for route optimization in the waste collection system.

Abstract

In each specific problem of finding the best solution among many available options, where each option has multiple criteria, multi criteria decision making methods are considered equally effective when they converge to the same optimal solution. Proximity Indexed Value, Preference Selection Index, Faire Un Choix Adéquat (in French), and Collaborative Unbiased Rank List Integration are four Multi Criteria Decision Making methods with very different characteristics. All these four methods have been used a lot in recent times. The effectiveness of these four methods have been confirmed to be comparable to other multi criteria decision making methods in many applications. However, the comparison of these four methods with each other has never been performed in any studies. This article is performed to fill that gap. These four methods have been used to find to the best option among five types of plastic injection molding machine. Ten criteria have been chosen to describe each alternative. Two different methods that have been used to calculate the weights for the criteria are the MEAN weight method and the CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation weight method. Different scenarios have been created to compare the effectiveness of these four methods. The results have shown that the four multi criteria decision making methods mentioned above are equally effective in the selection of plastic injection molding machines. Among the five types of plastic injection molding machines, namely JSW J350EII-SPA ANBE-002-02, Meiki M-200B-SJ, Meiki M-350C-DF-SJ, JSW J350E II, and JSW J550E-C5, the JSW J550E-C5 is the best type.

Abstract

The cosmetics industry necessitates efficient inventory management to balance customer demand with stock control. This case study explores how Liza Cosmetics Shop optimized inventory for Lip Cream Implora 01, a popular product, using data-driven forecasting techniques. Traditional trend-based methods often resulted in inaccurate forecasts. This study proposed implementing the SDLC Waterfall Model to apply two forecasting techniques: Least Squares and Double Moving Average. Historical sales data (April 2021 - June 2022) was analyzed to identify demand patterns, seasonality, and trends. The Least Squares method was chosen for its suitability in capturing stable, linear relationships between sales and time, while the Double Moving Average method catered to data exhibiting both long-term trends and short-term fluctuations. Rigorous testing using white-box and black-box methods ensured the accurate functionality and system behavior of the implemented models. The Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) determined the method best suited for predicting July 2022 demand. This case study contributes insights into data-driven inventory management in cosmetics, highlighting benefits such as optimized stock levels, reduced costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction through improved demand fulfillment. This studys’ limitations including unforeseen marketing campaigns and economic fluctuations impacting forecasts were acknowledged. Despite these challenges, the study emphasizes the potential of data-driven techniques to optimize inventory management and meet customer demands effectively.

Abstract

FLAP (5-Lipoxygenase Activating Protein) inhibitors, offering targeted intervention in leukotriene biosynthesis and holding therapeutic promise for inflammatory diseases like asthma, are hindered by current inhibitors' off-target effects, limited efficacy, safety concerns, potential drug interactions, and accessibility issues. Given these challenges, computational methods, particularly Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) modeling, are vital for developing novel FLAP inhibitors. This study specifically investigates the QSAR of FLAP inhibitors using Kernel Partial Least Squares (KPLS) modeling. Leveraging a dataset of FLAP inhibitors, we employ KPLS within the Schrödinger Canvas environment to correlate molecular descriptors with biological activity. Out of the eight models developed, the "atom pairs" fingerprint yielded a statistically significant 2D QSAR model with outstanding regression coefficient values (R2=0.9624). The model demonstrated high predictive ability for external test set data (R2pred = 0.7105), underscoring its robustness and reliability in accurately predicting biological activity based on molecular structure. Additionally, we tried to visualize the relative contributions of individual atoms within FLAP inhibitors, providing insights into their favorable and unfavorable characteristics. Through the analysis of atomic contributions, we identify key structural motifs crucial for predicting FLAP inhibitor activity. Our findings not only advance our understanding of FLAP inhibitor SAR but also demonstrate the utility of KPLS modeling and atomic contribution analysis in drug discovery efforts. Furthermore, this study contributes to the development of anti-inflammatory therapeutics by elucidating the structural determinants of FLAP inhibitor activity, with potential applications in the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
