Abstract

The global semiconductor industry has navigated a period of intense innovation and systemic challenges between 2020 and 2025. Driven by the exponential demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G/6G communication, and high-performance computing (HPC), the sector has pursued a dual strategy of continued transistor scaling and sophisticated heterogeneous integration. This review systematically analyzes the critical advancements and challenges within this period. We detail the fundamental architectural shift from FinFET to Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors, enabling the 3-nanometer (nm) and 2-nm nodes, and the adoption of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography for High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM). Concurrently, advanced packaging techniques, such as hybrid bonding and the standardization of chiplet architectures via the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe), have emerged as indispensable means to circumvent planar scaling limits. Economically, the industry has contended with escalating capital expenditure (CapEx) and the severe global chip shortage (2020–2023), prompting widespread government intervention, notably through the U.S. CHIPS Act and the EU Chips Act. Crucially, the review addresses the intensifying sustainability mandate, examining the challenges posed by high-Global Warming Potential (GWP) gas emissions, soaring water consumption, and the necessary transition toward circular economy principles within the fabrication environment. The findings underscore that future progress is contingent upon balancing relentless performance demands with resilient supply chains and comprehensive environmental stewardship.

Abstract

The challenge of accurately managing student attendance in higher education persists due to the limitations of manual methods, such as susceptibility to fraud and inefficiency amid growing enrollments. This paper introduces a cross-platform mobile attendance system developed using the Flutter framework and Google Firebase backend, incorporating geofencing and device-binding multi-factor authentication to ensure secure, "foolproof" verification. The system operates on a BYOD model, eliminating hardware costs while supporting both Android and iOS devices. A simulation test with 30 students evaluated performance, yielding an average verification time of 8.7 seconds, 98% authentication success rate, and effective fraud prevention against unauthorized devices and out-of-location check-ins. Results highlight the system's robustness, low latency, and adaptability to location errors via dynamic geofencing. This scalable, cost-effective solution addresses gaps in existing systems, including platform exclusivity and privacy concerns from biometrics, making it ideal for Ghanaian universities facing resource constraints and large class sizes.

Abstract

Railway safety in resource-constrained environments, such as Ghana's degraded rail network, faces significant challenges due to obsolete infrastructure, single-track operations, and reliance on human vigilance, leading to high rates of collisions and level-crossing accidents. This study proposes a distributed RFID-GSM warning architecture as a low-cost, decentralized solution independent of legacy signaling systems. The system deploys stationary sensor nodes along rail approaches, utilizing RC522 RFID modules for precise train detection at 30 km, 20 km, and 10 km zones from critical junctions. An ATmega328P microcontroller processes detection triggers, activating hierarchical alerts: SMS notifications via SIM800L GSM for remote warnings at farther zones, and local actuators (buzzer and LED) for immediate intervention at 10 km. The design emphasizes affordability, simplicity, and robustness, leveraging existing cellular networks to mitigate human errors without requiring infrastructure upgrades. The architecture was modeled and simulated in Proteus Professional software, demonstrating accurate sequential detection, SMS transmission, and actuator activation. Reliability metrics, including detection probability (>90% within optimal range), SMS latency (3-8 seconds), and on-time delivery, confirm viability in low-speed, remote settings. Comparative analysis highlights advantages over GPS, LoRaWAN, or track circuits in cost and deployability. This approach provides a scalable digital safety layer, enhancing operational resilience and reducing accident risks in developing regions' marginalized rail networks.

Abstract

Excessive dust generation in mineral processing and crushing plants poses serious occupational and environmental health challenges. Prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter—particularly Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) and Particulate Matter below 10 µm (PM₁₀)—has been linked to respiratory diseases and reduced air quality in surrounding areas. Dust concentration data collected over a nine-year period revealed that approximately 20 % of TSP values exceeded the 150 µg/m³ safety limit, while 25 % of PM₁₀ readings surpassed the 70 µg/m³ threshold, with peak levels reaching over 300 µg/m³ during dry months. These findings underscore the need for continuous and responsive dust control in processing environments. This study presents the design and simulation of an automated dust suppression system using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) integrated with dust and water-level sensors. Developed in RSLogix 500 and visualized in LabVIEW, the system automatically detects hazardous dust levels and activates low-pressure water spray nozzles in 15-second suppression cycles, with dust concentration re-checked after each cycle until levels fall below safe thresholds. MATLAB was employed to analyze nine years of historical dust concentration data and establish the threshold parameters used to configure the PLC control logic. Simulation results demonstrate reliable real-time monitoring, automated threshold-triggered suppression, and elimination of manual intervention in dust concentration control. The proposed automation framework provides a scalable solution for improving air-quality compliance, worker safety, and operational efficiency in mineral processing facilities.

Abstract

This review examines drone and flare technologies as an alternative to manned aircraft for weather modification operations in Indonesia. Until now, weather modification operations have generally used aircraft as the primary means of cloud seeding. However, this method has limitations, including high operational costs, limited flight hours, low visual precision, and high human risk. These conditions have prompted the need for more efficient and flexible alternative technologies. This study aims to examine the potential of using drones equipped with flares as an effective solution to support modern weather modification operations. The study employs a qualitative methodology that combines a systematic literature review, technical specification analysis of certified UAV platforms, and comparative cost and operational assessments against conventional manned aircraft. The analysis identifies six certified UAV platforms currently being tested for weather modification in Indonesia — including the PUNA Wulung fixed-wing UAV and its multirotor variants — and evaluates their advantages in lower operational costs (estimated at 5× cheaper per day than manned aircraft), greater operational flexibility, and improved seeding precision. In addition, the use of drones can minimize risks to flight crew safety. However, they have limitations in payload capacity that need to be addressed. Thus, it can be concluded that drone technology has the potential to be an effective and sustainable alternative solution in weather modification operations in Indonesia. The implementation of this technology not only increases efficiency but also strengthens capacity.
