Effect of Leading-Edge Roughness on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Wind Turbine blade
Abstract: Leading-Edge Roughness (LER) strongly dictates boundary layer transition and performance degradation on an airfoil operating at transitional Reynolds numbers, an aerodynamic regime where shear-layer stability mechanisms remain highly complex. The wind tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the aerodynamic impacts of surface roughness applied over 25% of the chord of a NACA 0018 airfoil using two discrete roughness gradations. Surface roughness induces an early boundary layer trip, causing elevated section …

Maternal and Infant Pollutant Exposure through Breastfeeding in Industrial Punjab
Abstract: Because of their lasting presence, bioaccumulation in the food chain and/or potential for transferring to infants through breastfeeding, environmentally persistent chemical pollutants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAs), pesticides, heavy metals and industrial emissions, represent significant public health threats. A study was conducted using a structured questionnaire to gather information about maternal demographics (age, education, marital status), how mothers were exposed to environmental contaminants through occupational activities, the ways …

Real-Time System Monitoring and Resource Optimization Using Shell Scripts in UNIX/Linux Environments
Abstract: Real-time system monitoring is a fundamental aspect of system administration in UNIX/Linux environments, as it ensures optimal system performance, reliability, and continuous availability of services. In modern computing infrastructures, systems are expected to operate efficiently under varying workloads, and any degradation in performance, such as CPU overload, memory exhaustion, disk bottlenecks, or network congestion, can significantly impact user experience and system stability. Regular observation and prompt action are crucial for …

Crystal Defects and Their Characterization in Modern Materials Science
Abstract: The physical and chemical properties of crystalline solids are fundamentally dictated by deviations from structural perfection, known as crystal defects. From the point-scale vacancies that drive diffusion to the planar boundaries that determine mechanical strength, defects serve as the primary "tuning knobs" in material design. This review provides a comprehensive examination of point, line, and planar defects, exploring their formation energetics and their role in plastic deformation via crystallographic slip. …

Investigation of Robotic Transverse Twin-Wire GMAW for Large-Scale Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing Applications
Abstract: Bulk metal additive manufacturing using wire-arc processes has gained significant attention for fabricating large-scale engineering components due to their high deposition rate and material efficiency. In this study, the feasibility and performance of robotic transverse twin-wire gas metal arc welding (GMAW) for bulk wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is systematically assessed. The research focuses on understanding arc stability, weld bead characteristics, and process–product relationships under high-deposition conditions. Welding current signals from …

Veterinary Immunology in Zoonotic Disease Control
Abstract: Zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible between animals and humans, pose a significant threat to global public health, food security, and economic stability. Veterinary immunology plays a pivotal role in understanding host–pathogen interactions, developing preventive strategies, and mitigating the impact of these diseases. Animals serve as reservoirs for a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, which can persist asymptomatically or cause clinical disease. Understanding the immune mechanisms in both …
