The State of Air Quality: Pollution Sources, Health Implications, and Future
Abstract: Air quality is a critical component of environmental health, significantly affecting human well-being and ecological balance. Poor air quality has been related to a variety of health issues, including respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, and it is a major cause of early death worldwide. Understanding the origins, kinds, and impacts of air pollutants is critical for establishing effective pollution-reduction initiatives. This review focuses on the principal pollutants that affect air quality, …

AI-Assisted Gain Scheduling for Real-Time Temperature Control in Chemical Reactors
Abstract: Temperature control in continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) represents a critical challenge in chemical process industries due to inherent nonlinearities, time-varying dynamics, and parametric uncertainties. Conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers with fixed gains often fail to maintain optimal performance across varying operating conditions, leading to temperature excursions that compromise product quality and safety. This paper presents a novel AI-assisted gain scheduling framework that integrates artificial neural networks (ANN) with adaptive PID control …
