Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Optimizing Polyhouse Roof Truss Design
Abstract: Polyhouses are specialised agricultural structures developed to maintain controlled environmental conditions for crop cultivation, thereby ensuring consistent productivity even under adverse climatic circumstances. The performance of these systems largely relies on the structural stability and cost efficiency of the roof truss, which must achieve an effective balance between strength, adaptability, and economy. In this research, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based modelling framework is introduced to optimise the members of polyhouse …

Generating Fuel Energy by Catalytic Pyrolyzing of Microalgae
Abstract: In biomass pyrolysis process, a catalyst is used to modify the pyrolysis gases' chemical composition and increase the bio-oil fraction. This process uses the byproducts of thermal conversion processes. It is anticipated that the introduction of pyrolysis catalysts in the case of microalgae will lower the bio-oxygen oil's content and increase the number of added-value compounds in this liquid fraction. Catalysts can also help decrease the nitrogen in bio-oil. As …
