Arsenic as a Cause of Cancer
Abstract: Inorganic Arsenic (iAs) is a pervasive and ubiquitous environmental toxin that has created world-wide human health problems. Populations exposed to high concentrations of arsenic-contaminated drinking water suffer serious health consequences ranging from acute toxicities to development of malignancies, including alarming cancer incidence and death rates. Epidemiologic studies have shown a relationship between chronic arsenic exposure and disease of the skin, lung, urinary bladder, and conceivably liver, kidney, and prostate in …

Electromagnetic and Dielectric Performance of Polymer–Ceramic Composite Substrates for Fractal-Based IoT-Antenna Fabrication
Abstract: Polymer–ceramic composite substrates play a crucial role in determining the electromagnetic performance, mechanical stability, and thermal reliability of radio-frequency devices. In this work, a polymer-based composite substrate is systematically investigated for its suitability in compact IoT and RFID antenna applications. A fractal-structured antenna is employed as a functional test platform to evaluate the dielectric behavior, impedance characteristics, and radiation efficiency of the composite substrate. Novelty of the proposed reader antenna …

Computational Analysis of Leaf Spring System with Functionally Graded Materials Using ANSYS
Abstract: Leaf springs are important parts of a vehicle’s suspension system, and their main function is to absorb shocks, improve stability, and make the ride more comfortable. Traditionally, ASTM A36 steel is used because it is strong, long-lasting, affordable, and easy to get. However, this type of steel is very dense, which makes vehicles heavier. This extra weight makes the vehicle less efficient and increases emissions. Because of these issues, there …

Energy harnessing solution using a vertical axis wind turbine installed on the automotive rooftop.
Abstract: The transportation sector plays a major role in greenhouse gas emissions, prompting worldwide initiatives to mitigate its environmental effects. While the shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles is growing, it often merely shifts emissions rather than eliminating them, as fossil fuels continue to dominate energy production. A comprehensive solution requires universal access to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro power, which is currently impractical due to …
