Modeling Evapotranspiration using Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract: The prior knowledge of evapotranspiration (ET0) is crucial for estimating crop-water demand, preparation of water distribution schedules and water diversion. The present study investigates the utility of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and linear regression models (LRs) for forecasting ET0 based on hydro-meteorological data. Based on different inputs, eight ANN and LR models are developed. The results are compared with those of FAO-56 Penman-Monteith expression. The published daily climatic data from …

Cenosphere Based No Aggregate Floating Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is an excellent building material, used widely around the world, but the only disadvantage of concrete is that it has self-weight. This self-weight does not allow concrete to be used in light-weight structures. In this work, mix design is prepared in such a manner that density of concrete is less than that of water and hence concrete can float on water and therefore it is termed as floating concrete. …

Diaper Dissolving Machine
Abstract: In landfills, there are approximately 3.5 million tonnes of disposable diapers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Currently, used diapers are disposed of through burning, burying in the ground, or improper disposal on the ground, including illegal dumping by caregivers. These careless disposal practices pose the risk of spreading infectious diseases and contribute to environmental degradation. To address this significant problem, we propose a suitable nappy waste management system. …

Effect of Surface Wettability on the Surface-Driven Capillary Flow in SU-8 Microchannels
Abstract: AbstractSU-8 microfluidic devices have been fabricated by the maskless lithography. Passive capillary flow is suitable to manipulate liquid in the lab-on-a-chip systems. The surface-driven capillary flow of dyed water in each microfluidic device has been recorded and analysed. The measured static water contact angles are 72.6°and 81.2° on the hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) deposited flat surface and Si-a:C:H deposited flat surface respectively. Either, a-C:H or Si-a:C:H has been deposited on …

Performance Evaluation of Modified Cold Mix Asphalt by Some Waste Materials
Abstract: The aim of study is to evaluate modified CMA volumetric, mechanical and durability properties by some waste materials. Previous studies described that the mechanical properties of CMA are shown to be influenced by different factors including base bitumen grade, porosity of the mix, curing time and additives. The current research is designed to use the waste and by-product materials as filler to enhance the conventional CMA early age strength. Hence, …

Towards a Geo-Classification of the Niger Delta for Highway Investment Costing Applications
Abstract: The study carries out a quasi-experimentation, as a basis of devising a spatial quantitative concept, delineating distinct geologic settings which would have differing cost implications for highway infrastructure development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Three broad conceptual geomorphic boundaries, for the categorisation of Niger Delta soils in engineering geologic costing application, were discerned within this conceptual lens. The study further statistically explores the synthesised geo-zonation for differences in …
