A Cost-Effective Fast Cell Balancing Technique for Lithium- Ion Batteries using a Single DC–DC Converter with Direct Energy Transfer
Abstract: A novel quick lithium-ion battery balancing method with a single DC-DC converter for facilitating the direct energy transfer process in low and high voltage cells is introduced in this research work. Cost effectiveness in the design of the switch network is achieved by the use of relays in switching the cells. A control circuit including an MCU and a battery management IC is used for the sensing of cell voltages …

Study of an Improved Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Framework for Neural Network Optimization in Modelling of Polymer Data
Abstract: The accurate forecasting of polymer viscosity at various physicochemical conditions has been quite critical due to the nonlinear interactions and interrelations between the variables. This paper suggests a better hybrid modelling framework, which involves the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and more advanced versions of Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) to better predict polymer viscosity. The input parameters taken are, namely, log (shear rate), polymer concentration, NaCl concentration, Ca …

Low-Grade Heat Recovery: Emerging Materials and Systems for Efficient Utilization
Abstract: Low-grade heat (LGH), generally characterized by temperatures below 200°C, constitutes a significant portion of wasted thermal energy in industrial, commercial, and even residential processes. Despite its vast availability, the efficient recovery and utilization of LGH remains underdeveloped due to its inherently low exergy content and the limitations of traditional heat recovery technologies. The creation of cutting-edge materials and creative system-level approaches for LGH recovery has accelerated significantly as companies continue …

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes: Impacts on Weather Patterns and Climate Change
Abstract: The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a vital component of the Earth's climate system, acting as the interface between the terrestrial surface and the overlying atmosphere. This layer, typically extending from the surface to a height of a few hundred meters, is characterized by strong gradients in meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure. Understanding the dynamics of the ABL is essential for comprehending weather phenomena, …

Generative AI-Based Inverse Design of Sustainable Biodegradable Polymers with Target Mechanical and Thermal Properties
Abstract: The escalating global plastic pollution crisis has intensified the urgent need for sustainable biodegradable polymer alternatives that can match or exceed the performance of conventional petroleum-based plastics while minimizing environmental impact. However, traditional polymer discovery approaches are severely constrained by high experimental costs, protracted development cycles spanning years, and fundamental inability to simultaneously optimize multiple conflicting material properties such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, and degradation kinetics. This study presents …

Hydrothermal modification of carbon fiber fabrics by ZnO nanorods for mechanical strengthening of CFRP laminates
Abstract: Hexagonal ZnO nanorods were produced on plain woven carbon fiber using a two-step seed-assisted hydrothermal procedure. By varying the process parameters such as molar concentrations, number of seeding cycles, and growth duration at a controlled growth temperature of 90 °C, it is feasible to produce ZnO nanostructures with a range of morphologies, including nanowires, hexagonal nanorods, and nanoflowers. The developed morphologies were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy and …

Lamivudine And Dolutegravir Simultaneous Dosage Forms Determined and Validated Using The RP-UPLC Method
Abstract: RP-UPLC has been used to produce a straightforward, precise, and accurate approach for the simultaneous estimation of dolutegravir and lamivudine in a pharmaceutical dose form. A HSS C18 column of 2.8 x 50 mm and featuring particles with a size of 1.6 μm was used to process the chromatogram. A mixture of 70:30 Buffer Na2HPO4 and methanol made up the mobile phase, which was pushed across the column at a …

Comparative Study of Structural and Optical Properties of Bismuth Ferrite Nanoparticles for Photovoltaic Applications Synthesized via Different Sol-Gel Methods
Abstract: Pure multiferroic bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using an energy-efficient, low-temperature sol-gel method, comparing two distinct approaches: auto-combustion and non-auto-combustion. To ensure phase stability, the precursor solution's pH was strictly maintained between 1 and 2 using ammonia solution (NH4OH), while ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) was employed as a chelating agent for the Fe3+ and Bi3+ cations. All samples underwent a final annealing process at 500 °C to promote crystallization. …
