Machine Learning Based Smart Aquaponics Farming System
Abstract: For many years, researchers have been studying nutrient management in aquaponic systems. Most have concentrated on adequate nutrition control in an aquaponic setup, but there has been relatively little study on commercial scale applications. For plant growth, it is necessary to measure the level of nutrients present in the soil mixture. In our model, the input data was sourced on some interval of time basis from three commercial aquaponic farms. …

Teratology of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) in Healthcare Workers
Abstract: Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is a highly useful and generally “safe” biopolymer that is employed widely in the healthcare industry as a malleable and plastic acrylic material. MMA is used in healthcare treatment, especially in dentistry and orthopedic surgery. MMA may be self-cured, heated, microwaved, or light-cured into hardened acrylic plastic material. Self-curing of the combination of monomer liquid and polymer powder is the most common methodology of using MMA; the …

Food Packaging Chemicals and Human Health: Molecular Toxicity, Exposure Pathways, and Regulatory Perspectives
Abstract: Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food quality, extending shelf life, and ensuring safe transportation. However, increasing evidence indicates that chemicals from packaging materials can migrate into food during processing, storage, and consumption, resulting in chronic human exposure. Several food packaging chemicals, including bisphenols, phthalates, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), styrene, heavy metals, and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), have emerged as important xenobiotics due to their potential adverse …

Crystallization Kinetics and Morphological Shifts in Polylactic Acid/Nanocellulose Blends Under Isothermal Melt Conditions
Abstract: The great potential of polylactic acid as a sustainable biopolymer for packaging, biomedical materials, and additive manufacturing, polylactic acid's slow crystallization kinetics during melt processing causes it to be poorly crystallized, thermally weak, and mechanically underperforming. Crystallization models of PLA/nanocellulose blends have been limited to isothermal melt crystallization kinetics and the resulting morphological changes. The phenomena discussed in this work are systematically explored by melt compounding of polylactic acid with …

Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Characteristics of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is one of the most utilized construction materials because of its excellent compressive strength and durability. Nevertheless, its relatively low tensile and flexural capacities often limit its performance in structures subjected to tensile stresses. To address this limitation, fiber reinforcement has emerged as an effective technique for enhancing the mechanical behavior of concrete. This study examines the influence of chopped basalt fibers on the strength characteristics of concrete through …
