Design and Implementation of an Automatic Rain Sensing Wiper System Using SEN0545 Sensor and Raspberry Pi Pico W
Abstract: This study presents the design and development of an intelligent, automatic rain-sensing wiper system designed to enhance vehicle safety. The system utilizes a SEN0545 capacitive rain sensor, integrated with internal signal processing, and a Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller as its central control unit. The proposed approach enables non-contact and corrosion-free rain detection, ensuring reliable performance under varying environmental conditions. Based on the detected rainfall intensity, the controller dynamically adjusts …

Sources and Health Effects of Arsenic, Fluoride, and Nitrate in Water
Abstract: Arsenic, fluoride, and nitrate are major inorganic contaminants in water that pose significant risks to human health. These contaminants are introduced into water sources through both natural geological processes and human activities. Arsenic is primarily released from arsenic-bearing minerals through weathering, dissolution, and erosion, while human activities such as agriculture, mining, and fossil fuel combustion further enhance its presence in water. Fluoride contamination mainly results from the dissolution of fluoride-bearing …

Enhancing Power Conversion Efficiency in Tandem Solar Cells with Temporal Dynamic Graph Neural Network
Abstract: In modern homes, people want good comfort and also less electricity bill, so managing heating load and cooling load become very important. Heating Load (HL) and Cooling Load (CL) depend on many things like wall material, window size, sunlight, ventilation, and weather. Because of this many factors, calculation and optimization of HL and CL is little difficult and many time normal formulas give wrong or not perfect results. So in …

Understanding the Role of Remote Sensing Techniques in Monitoring Air Quality for Effective Adherence to Environmental Impact Assessment Practices in Nigeria
Abstract: The paper reviews the Nigerian Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Act, outlining the established air quality thresholds and emission caps for stationary sources. The standard applies to; common pollutants like sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides; toxic metals such as arsenic, nickel, cadmium and mercury; as well as volatile organic compounds, ammonia, antimony, zinc, formaldehyde and radon.It also describes the major classifications of remote sensing applications, including …
