Impacts of Artificial Light on Wildlife and Environment
Abstract: AbstractMost wildlife relies on natural lighting to control mating and feeding habits, sleep schedules, pollination, and travelling routes. Sources of artificial light interfere with these patterns and routines and are Greatly disorientating for many species of wildlife, often with fatal results. The effects of ecological light pollution are widespread. They comprise disorientation from and attraction to artificial light, structural-related mortality due to disorientation, and effects on the light-sensitive cycles of …

Injection Pressure Optimization for Non-edible Biodiesel Blends in CRDI Engines: A Comparative Study
Abstract: The growing demand for clean and sustainable energy has increased interest in biodiesel produced from non-edible oil sources. These fuels are renewable, biodegradable, and do not compete with food resources. However, the effective use of biodiesel blends in modern diesel engines requires proper control of fuel injection parameters, particularly injection pressure. In common rail direct injection (CRDI) engines, injection pressure strongly influences spray formation, air–fuel mixing, combustion behaviour, and exhaust …
