Investigating the Influence of Changing Climate Patterns on Seasonal Water Availability Within Transboundary River Systems
Abstract: Climate change is significantly altering hydrological systems, particularly in transboundary river basins, which are crucial for regional economies, ecosystems, and human well-being. Variations in precipitation patterns, temperature fluctuations, and altered snowmelt are increasing the unpredictability of seasonal water availability, intensifying risks of both water scarcity and flooding. These shifts pose severe challenges to water management, often leading to disputes and complicating regional cooperation among riparian nations. This study investigates the …

Lyapunov-Stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Control for Robust Anti-Lock Braking Under Uncertain Road Adhesion Conditions
Abstract: This paper proposes a Lyapunov-stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (FO-IT2FLC) for robust anti-lock braking system (ABS) control under nonlinear vehicle dynamics and uncertain road adhesion conditions. The proposed framework integrates fractional-order error dynamics to capture memory-dependent tire–road interaction, interval Type-2 fuzzy inference to model uncertainty via footprint-of-uncertainty representation, and a Lyapunov-based adaptive learning mechanism for real-time parameter tuning. A rigorous stability proof guarantees boundedness of all closed-loop …

Underground Cable Fault Detector and Locator Using Arduino
Abstract: AbstractIn urban areas, electrical cables run underground instead of running over, because it does not get affected by any adverse effect of weather such as storm, snow, ice, heavy rainfall as well as pollution. While a fault occurs within the underground cable, it is difficult to detect the exact location of the fault for the repair process of the particular cable. This system can find the point of the exact …
