IoT-Enabled Polymer–Gel PCM Composites for Intelligent Thermal Management in Solar Facade Applications
Abstract: The present study investigates the development of a multifunctional polymer–gel phase change composite designed for solar façade applications with integrated real-time thermal monitoring capability. A crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol–borax matrix was employed as a three-dimensional polymer scaffold to encapsulate paraffin-based phase change material, ensuring leakage-free operation and structural integrity under repeated thermal cycling. Graphite nanoplatelets were incorporated as thermally conductive nano-fillers to enhance heat transfer through the polymer composite via percolation-driven …

From Rural to Urban: Understanding Taobao Villages to Redress Planetary Urbanisation
Abstract: This study examines Taobao Villages as an innovative model of urbanisation under China’s planetary urbanisation framework. These rural communities, driven by the rise of e-commerce and digital infrastructure, have successfully integrated into the broader urban ecosystem by reconfiguring their historical socio-spatial legacies. Through Lefebvre’s spatial triad framework, the research identifies three key historical legacies that underpin this transformation: (1) Collective Production Practices: Rooted in socialist collectivisation, these legacies include organisational …

Zen-Inspired Interior Design in Residence
Abstract: ‘Zen’, a word derived from Buddhist philosophy indicates meditation, peacefulness, and harmony with natural elements. Zen-Inspired-Interior-design has commonly been used in Chinese and Japanese homes for several years but is now growing in popularity across several countries. Japanese interiors have several characteristics, the most important of them being minimalism i.e., using simple, lowlying furniture and a neutral colour palette with less ornament or heavy patterns and emphasis on functionality. It …

Sign Language to Speech Translation and Emergency Alert System for Dumb persons using Ml and IOT
Abstract: This project proposes a novel approach for gesture recognition using key point extraction and neural networks. Our proposed system leverages key point extraction techniques to capture fine-grained spatial information from input gestures. These key points are then fed into a neural network model, allowing for automatic feature learning and robust gesture classification. The goal of this project is to integrate OpenCV's computer vision capabilities to build a flexible and effective …

A Physics-Informed Graph Neural Network Framework for Real- Time Thermal-Aware Fault Prediction and Adaptive Power Optimization in Heterogeneous System-on-Chip Architectures
Abstract: Heterogeneous System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures are increasingly adopted in edge computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and high-performance embedded platforms due to their superior computational efficiency and flexibility. However, increasing integration density and workload diversity introduce severe thermal hotspots, accelerated device degradation, and unexpected hardware faults that adversely affect system reliability and energy efficiency. This study proposes a Physics-Informed Graph Neural Network (PI-GNN) framework for real-time thermal- aware fault prediction and adaptive …

A Mini Review of Synthesis and Applications of Functionally Graded Materials
Abstract: Material composition or microstructure varies gradually along the thickness over a specific volume in functionally graded material (FGM) that results in spatial change in properties like thermal conductivity, strength, stiffness, electrical, magnetic, and light properties, etc. Application of the concept of FGM leads to a single product that has multiple properties in it as demanded by the operational or functional requirements of the product under service conditions. It also allows …

Optimizing Sampling Techniques Using Fuzzy Set Theory: A Comprehensive Approach
Abstract: Sampling is a critical process in statistics, used to estimate population parameters without needing to examine the entire population. Traditional sampling methods, such as simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling, face limitations when applied to complex or heterogeneous populations with imprecise boundaries. These methods often fail to accurately represent populations with overlapping characteristics or missing data, resulting in sampling bias and reduced accuracy. To address these challenges, this …
