Polymer-Based Nanocomposite Coatings for Enhancing Solar Photovoltaic Panel Efficiency
Abstract: Environmental factors such as dust deposition, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and surface reflection significantly reduce the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. This study investigates the development and performance evaluation of polymer-based nanocomposite coatings designed to improve the optical and surface properties of PV panel glass. A hybrid nanocomposite coating containing TiO₂ and SiO₂ nanoparticles dispersed in a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix was synthesized using the sol–gel technique and deposited through …

Insect Hymnenopteran Parasitoids of Sugarcane Pest and Role As Biological Control Agents
Abstract: The present study is short communication of insect parasitoids belongs to order Hymenoptera. Sugarcane crop attract number of insect pests that flourish on it, and cause about 15- 20% yield loss and minimize the productivity, this reduction in yield increase when the insect parasitoids attack on pest. There are some major parasitoids Orders that attack on the number of crops pest, like Dipteran, Lepidopterans, Neuropteran etc. and one of the …

In Silico Exploration of Podophyllum Hexandrum-Derived Phytocompounds as Potential Therapeutics Against Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): A Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing and aggressive type of lung cancer that spreads quickly strongly associated with smoking. It is characterized by symptoms, such as persistent cough, breathing difficulties, or hoarseness, though it can sometimes be asymptomatic which makes early detection challenging. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is critical in regulating the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled cell division. Mutations in TP53 result in the loss of …

Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery Prognostics: A Comprehensive Review of Machine Learning Approaches for Remaining Useful Life Prediction
Abstract: The lithium-ion battery (LIB), as one of the main sources for portable power systems, has been increasingly popular owing to its widespread applications in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, aerospace and renewable energy. Despite their advantages in high energy density and long cycle life, LIBs suffer from degradation over time of aging and cycling, resulting in loss of performance, safety issues, and economic bottlenecks. Predicting their Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is …

Enhancement of ATC using UPFC under Deregulated Environment
Abstract: Available transfer capability is the most important factor for the identification of power transfer from gencos to discos. In a deregulated power system, power producer and customer share a common transmission network for wheeling of the electric power. This may cause violation of line flow, voltage and stability limits and thereby undermine the security limit [1]. To improve the available transfer capability of the system FACTS controllers are used. UPFC …

A Promising Approach Towards Arthritis: Bacopa Monnieri
Abstract: Joint inflammation, pain, and a progressive loss of function are the hallmarks of arthritis, a chronic and crippling condition that frequently results in disability and a lower quality of life. The need for safer options is highlighted by the fact that while current therapy approaches, such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic medications, give symptomatic relief, they are usually linked to serious adverse effects. In this regard, the wellknown Ayurvedic …

An Innovative Fuzzy-Enhanced Black Widow Spider Optimization for Energy-Efficient Cluster Communication Through the Selection of the Ideal Cluster Head
Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cluster-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by integrating fuzzy logic with the black widow spider optimization (BWSO) algorithm. The focus of the suggested fuzzy-enhanced BWSO approach is on cluster head selection, which is essential for lowering energy consumption and enhancing network performance. The program uses fuzzy logic to assess a number of factors, including network density, node proximity, and energy …

EFFECT OF EXPOSURE OF CEMENT ON THE COMPRESSIVE STENGTH OF CONCRETE
Abstract: Concrete has become the bedrock of infrastructural civilization in Nigeria as over 75% of the infrastructures in Nigeria have to do with concrete. Most times, Engineers design for a particular grade of concrete and Post-construction checks shows that concrete is defective of this strength and exposure of cement is observed to be one of the causative factors. In this study, the effect of exposure of cement on the compressive strength …

Behavior of Surface Polaritons on Cylindrical Semiconducting Materials at Nanoscale with Radius Dependence Frequency
Abstract: Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a physical property of the surface to investigate the important properties of optical behaviors for nanomaterial and biomaterial. It involves the excitation of electrons within a thin metal sheet by incident light at a specific angle, prompting them to propagate parallel to the surface. This sensitivity to external factors, such as changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium due to molecular adsorption, underscores …
