DFT/Data Guided Predictive Modelling of Absorption Maxima in the OLED Rubrene Derivatives
Abstract: This study investigates the optical properties of rubrene derivatives to develop an accurate predictive model for absorption maxima using computational chemistry and chemoinformatic techniques. We benchmarked various quantum chemical methods, identifying that the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ method in dichloromethane (DCM) provided the strongest correlation with experimental data. Key molecular descriptors such as band gap, ionization potential, and electrophilicity index were calculated and analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) to identify significant factors …

Seasonal Dynamics of Coastal Landscapes: A Critical Review Using Remote Sensing and GIS
Abstract: Coastal landscapes are among the most dynamic environments on Earth, undergoing continuous transformation due to both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. In India, particularly along the southern coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, shoreline morphology and sediment transport patterns are significantly influenced by seasonal monsoons, cyclones, storm surges, waves, tides, and changing river discharges. These factors contribute to varying rates of coastal erosion, accretion, inundation, and land- …

Thermal Effects in High-Power Laser Systems: Modeling and Mitigation
Abstract: High-power laser systems are increasingly employed in industrial manufacturing, defense, medical procedures, and scientific research due to their ability to deliver high energy density with excellent spatial coherence. However, the performance and reliability of these systems are significantly influenced by thermal effects arising from optical absorption, non-radiative recombination, and inefficient heat dissipation within laser gain media and optical components. These thermal phenomena lead to adverse effects such as thermal lensing, …

Polymer Encapsulants for Photovoltaic Modules: Electrical Insulation Performance and Long-Term Durability under Accelerated UV Exposure
Abstract: Influence on the reliability and service life of PV modules is a major issue, which is influenced by the encapsulant degradation in long-term exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. A systematic accelerated UV aging study of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Polyolefin Elastomer (POE), and Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) films under IEC 61215-2:2021 specified test chamber conditions of Q-UV is conducted. The material properties were tested at various exposure intervals including …

IoT-Based Structural Health Monitoring and Damage Detection in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Structures
Abstract: Applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite in the aerospace, civil infrastructure and renewable energy systems are increasing due to the fact that the composite possesses high ratio of strength to weight and can resist corrosion. However, processes of internal damages such as the cracking of the matrix, delamination and fiber fracture, are likely to take place without being visible on the surface and therefore a periodic check of the structure …

Innovative Approaches to Reactive Power Management and Optimization in Modern Power systems
Abstract: Reactive power management and optimization are necessary for the effective, stable, and reliable working of modern power systems. Without proper management, reactive power is responsible for additional losses in transmission, reduced capability of power transfer, and poor voltage stability conditions, thus forming a basis for developing advanced techniques of optimization. This paper discusses the innovative methods in Reactive Power Optimization (RPO) using met heuristic algorithms, namely the Self-Balanced Differential Evolution …

Improved TOPSIS for Al-SiC Composite Material Selection
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel Multi-Criteria Decision-Making(MCDM) method for attaining accurate and reliable results on Al-SiC composite material selection. Many of the existing researches suggested some methods for determining weights for criteria objectively and dealt with various mathematical models for eliminating inter-criteria correlation. However, they still involve some considerable shortcomings not fitting in the reality. In this paper, in order to determine the weights of criteria, methods for both subjective …
