Oceanmind Systems: AI-Driven Marine Life Intelligence for Climate Prediction and Ocean Ecosystem Stability
Abstract: Oceans regulate global climate systems, support biodiversity, and serve as critical carbon sinks, yet they remain under-monitored relative to their ecological importance. Traditional oceanographic methods rely heavily on satellite sensing, buoy networks, and periodic marine surveys, which often fail to capture real-time biological dynamics at micro-ecosystem levels. This paper introduces OceanMind Systems, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven marine intelligence framework that integrates marine life behavior, oceanographic data, and computational modeling to …

Artificial Neural Network Based Prediction of Impact Loads and Thickness in CFRP and GFRP Composite Laminates
Abstract: Recent technological advancements, particularly the integration of neural networks, have facilitated a predictive approach to complex engineering problems, especially those involving composite materials with directional properties. The scarcity of literature on predicting impact damage using experimental and ultrasonic flaw detection data motivated this study. Experimental assessment of impact damage on carbon fiber/epoxy (CFRP) and glass fiber/epoxy (GFRP) composites was conducted using low-velocity drop weight impact testing. Damage assessment employed an …

Advancements in Waste Heat Recovery from Multistage Air Compressor Operations
Abstract: In industrial production processes, waste heat is an important consequence, especially in sectors that rely significantly on composites and polymers. Frequently, this heat is released into the atmosphere without being captured, which raises operating expenses in addition to wasting potential energy. In these sectors, waste heat recovery, or WHR, has become a key tactic for raising sustainability and energy efficiency. The WHR potential of multistage air compressors—essential parts of industrial …

Prediction of Depth-Induced Stress Distribution and Maintenance Cost Implications for Submerged Structural Components
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of water depth on stress distribution and structural integrity of submerged mechanical components . Structural models fabricated from mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper alloy were examined under hydrostatic loading corresponding to water depths between 30 cm and 150 cm. Results indicate that normal and shear stresses increased proportionally with depth due to intensified hydrostatic pressure. Mild steel exhibited the highest stress concentrations, …

Review of Thermal Performance of Solar Air Heaters: Influence of Composite Materials and Advanced Thermal Storage Techniques
Abstract: Solar air heaters (SAHs) are essential devices for capturing solar energy and converting it into heat, finding applications in steam generation, refrigeration, agricultural drying, and space and water heating in residential and commercial environments. However, the thermal performance of SAHs is often limited by the low heat transfer coefficient of air and the absence of solar energy during nighttime, impacting efficiency and reliability. To address these challenges, this study explores …

ASSESSING OF FOREST STRUCTURE USING EARTH OBSERVATION DATA: ACASE STUDY IN MUNESSA FOREST, OROMIA REGION, ETHIOPIA
Abstract: Forest structure is essential for estimating forest-related carbon emissions, analyzing forest degradation, and quantifying the effectiveness of forest restoration initiatives. However, forest structure quantification is only limited to the specific area of interest without considering the whole forest coverage. Remote sensing data can easily deliver a large area to assess forest structure. Therefore, this study aims to assess forest structure of Munessa Natural Forest by integrating satellite based light detection …
