The present work investigated the influence of perlite on the tribological properties of phenolic-based brake friction composites. The composites were manufactured by mechanical mixing and compression moulding at different perlite loadings as 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight and tribo evaluated following European regulations. Among the evaluated tribological properties, the highest coefficient of friction (0.430), the lowest fade (16.74%) and friction fluctuations (0.221) with the least friction variability (0.434) were registered in the composite with 5 wt.% perlite content. The recovery performance increased with perlite addition and remains highest (119.85%) in the composite with 15 wt.% perlite content. The friction stability, maximum disc temperature rise and wear resistance of the composites decreased with increased perlite content. The worn surface investigations revealed that the formation of contact plateaus largely influences such composites' tribological performance.

Modern power system faces a severe problem of instability, largely due to inconsistent reactive power. It causes damage to the power grid within a few milliseconds. Therefore, proper management of reactive power under disturbing situations plays a key role in its safe operation. Devices such as flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) accurately manage the system’s reactive power in accordance with the load demand. In this study, a new reactive power control strategy is employed for optimization of the reactive power along with the stability improvement of the system under different small perturbed conditions. Therefore, this study focuses on controlling the reactive power for an isolated wind-diesel hybrid power system model (WDHPSM) with the aid of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) together with the use of an integral minus proportional derivative (IPD) controller keeping a derivative-based filter (IPDF) as a secondary controller for better utilization of its purpose. The obtained results are compared when the no-control strategy is applied in the model. Another comparison has been done between the multiple applied soft computing techniques (oppositional harmonic search, ant lion optimization, binary-coded genetic algorithm, and symbiosis organisms search) that optimize the parameters of the controller of WDHPSM.

Traditional biomass stoves are widely used for cooking purposes in developing countries due to their simple construction. However, the problems of low thermal efficiency, large feedstock consumption, and high pollutant emissions are encountered in the conventional design. The gasification-based stove has also been presently and highly considered when encountering these problems. Therefore, this study aims to (1) develop a producer gas stove and (2) investigate the effect of bluff-body shape, equivalence ratio, and feedstock on the thermal performance of the stove. The results showed that the performance of the producer gas stove was affected by the bluff-body shape of the burner, equivalence ratio, and feedstock type. Stable flames were further observed when the bluff body B was attached to the burner. The highest thermal performance was obtained by using a bluff body B, operated at an equivalence ratio of 0.5 with blended feedstock of rice husksawdust. In addition, the highest heating rate and thermal efficiencies were 2.27 kW and 17.6%, respectively.

The prominent reason behind road accidents during the winter season is the presence of fog in the environment. Other important reasons for the degradation of visibility are haze, smog, clouds and rain. In the process of developing the automation of a vehicle on the road, visibility and contrast are the most affected parameters of the captured image or video. Road accidents can be prevented if images taken in foggy conditions are processed to improve their quality and legibility. There are different methods available to improve the quality of foggy images, like color attenuation prior method, dark channel prior method, and fog removal using region detection network.
The atmospheric particles, such as water droplets, which cause the absorption and scattering of light, further produce attenuation and air-light. The present research work is based on the Dark Channel Prior (DCP) method. The DCP method needs to find the transmission map, which gives the strength of the fog in the image. Major parts of this algorithm are the estimation of the dark channel, finding the transmission map, refining the transmission map, and reconstructing the image without haze. The proposed algorithm has also been implemented using a Raspberry pi. This research work focuses on the improvement of the reconstructed de-hazed image using various filters. The results are compared based on Contrast Gain (CG) and Color Index (CI) parameters. Many times, this application needs the object detection phase, which uses various methods; however, the scope of this paper is limited to the reconstruction of the image after the removal of fog.

Construction risk can be described as the possibility of an incident that will harm the project’s feasibility. Different threats that impact businesses may be found in the construction industry as elsewhere. Moreover, construction projects face significant risks that put building projects at the risk of cost, over time, and poor standard of execution. In the last two years, Lebanon has been suffering from a severe economic crisis, which has affected a large number of businesses and industries, specifically the construction industry. Therefore, this article aims to identify, classify, and analyse the most significant risks inherent in the Lebanese construction industry with special emphasis on the financial and economic risk category and eventually establish a conclusion in this regard. To achieve the aims of this research, the data were collected by conducting a questionnaire survey among experts in the Lebanese construction industry. The results showed that the construction industry in Lebanon is exposed to many risk sources, internal and external, and the most important ones are financial risks such as fluctuation of the currency, inflation, and lack of solvency. Finally, the importance and benefits of implementing risk management are discussed in this research as well as the barriers to its effective implementation.

To analyze the horizontal shear resistance participation degree of the shear studs on the web and diaphragm flange in the negative moment area of the steel–concrete continuous composite box girder, the steel–concrete composite girder specimen was designed and manufactured based on the existing codes. The shear deformation of the two parts of the studs in the composite box girder is studied by the finite element parameter analysis of the nonlinear shear deformation of the studs and the stress analysis of the diaphragm. The results show that web flange studs provide the horizontal shear capacity of the steel–concrete composite box girder. The installation of baffle flange studs cannot improve the shear connection degree of composite beams. Removal of the flange stud from the diaphragm can relieve the force on the diaphragm and provide a theoretical basis for reducing the stiffeners of the diaphragm.

This study investigates the morphological effect of different Au-doped SiO2 scattering layers on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Particularly, the SiO2 sources were varied to yield different geometries, i.e., tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) templated SiO2, Sidoarjo mud (LuSi) extracted SiO2, and commercial silica glass sphere. The microstructure, as well as physical, electronic, and optical properties of different Au-doped SiO2 particles, were characterized using SEM-EDX, TEM, BET, XRD, and various spectroscopy techniques. The photoelectrochemical performance of quasi-solid state DSSCs was indicated by current density–voltage (J-V) response, external quantum efficiency spectra, and the impedance response. The results indicate that the performance of TiO2-based DSSCs is enhanced quite significantly due to the improved photocurrent generation and fill factor. The short circuit current density is found up to 370% higher (and hence, the conversion efficiency) than the reference cell upon incorporating Au-doped crystalline SiO2 extracted from LuSi (Voc = 0.89 V, Jsc = 1.28 mA‧cm−2, FF = 0.65, and η = 0.75%). This substantial photocurrent enhancement stems from the combined effect of efficient light scattering by submicron SiO2 particles, surface plasmon resonance, and reduced interfacial recombination by SiO2 insulation. In addition, the optimum size of SiO2 particles is deduced as the results indicate the size-scattering dependency which controls the gain and loss of photocurrent due to the type of scattering.

In this work, a study was carried out by modifying the conventional Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Chrome (WC–10Co4Cr) powder with a small addition of yttrium-oxide (Y2O3). Reinforcement was done by adding yttria (Y2O3) ceramics in WC–10Co4Cr powder by using a jar ball mill process. The surface microstructure, chemical composition, and phase compositions of coating powder and coatings were examined by using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. Silt erosion was evaluated through a pot tester by preparing equi- and multi-sized slurries at different velocities, impact angles, concentrations, and rates. Results show that the WC–10Co4Cr powder coating reinforced by Y2O3 ceramics possesses low porosity, providing higher erosive performance as compared to conventional WC–10Co4Cr coating. The present study reveals that the deposition of conventional WC–10Co4Cr coating helps improve the wear resistance of AISI 316L stainless steel (UNS S31600) by 9.98% for the variation in rotational speed. However, the erosive wear performance of conventional WC–10Co4Cr coating was improved by 45.9% by blending it with the Y2O3 ceramics.
