These changes can also be measured by, for example, air quality standards in urban centers. The objective of this work is to monitor and analyze the amount of carbon monoxide of vehicular origin due to the burning of non-renewable fuels around the Vaca Brava Park, and to evaluate the consequences that this pollutant brings to the health of the population and to the environment. Park Vaca Brava is in the municipality of Goiânia, has an area of 79,890.63 m2. Samples were taken at three points in the Park, in the main busiest avenues in its surroundings, and the fourth sample was carried out inside the Park to compare the amount of carbon monoxide with the other points. These points were chosen because they present a large volume of people that pass in the place for the practice of physical exercises, and also for having a large agglomeration of vehicle in its surroundings, as a result of the commerce being quite busy in this region, due to this, the traffic vehicle is quite intense. In the period of study carried out in the park, there was a small change of this pollutant in November 2022, February, March and May 2023, in the other months no CO value was detected. It was also observed that the values of carbon monoxide in most of the months studied were not detected by the device. The green area of the park is quite important to regulate the air quality in this region and make it fresher and healthier for those who frequent the place.","PeriodicalId":13758,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Science","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135913766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method combining nonlinear least square method is proposed to identify the parameters of the Bouc-Wen model of magnetorheological damper based on the damping characteristics test. Analyze the relationship between the identification parameters and the current and use the curve fitting toolbox to fit the functional relationship. At the same time, use the Simulink toolbox to create a Bouc-Wen simulation model of a magnetorheological damper and select sinusoidal signals with varying current, amplitude, and frequency for simulation and comparison. The Bouc-Wen model is validated using additional amplitude and frequency test data, and the results show a high degree of fit between the test and simulation results.

Abiotic surfaces include floors, walls, drains, equipment, and food-contact surfaces, as well as biotic surfaces like meat, the oral cavity, the intestine, the urogenital tract, and the skin. Humans are a good source of biotic microenvironments for biofilm and bacterial growth, which leads to infectious diseases in most cases. The optimum biotic environment for bacteria to thrive requires a supply of nutrients, humidity, and the right temperature. Biofilms originate on inert surfaces or dead tissue, and they're frequent on medical devices and dead tissue fragments, but they can also form on living tissues. Biofilms' tolerance to harsh environments provides a favorable habitat for microbial populations, allowing for a more efficient flow of chemicals and information amongst microorganisms. As a result, biofilm resistance is a self-protective strategy for microbial development. Bacterial biofilms are detectable by direct and indirect methods and they could be controlled. Bacterial biofilm is a major cause of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria's development and spread, causing severe infections and increased mortality rates.","PeriodicalId":13758,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Science","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81935326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The students were grouped into an experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) and engaged for twenty-eight days, where only EG learners received blended learning (BL) treatment. The investigation used a pre-and post-test purposive design across all the groups. The errors were spotted from their write-ups belonging to morphological, syntactical, and orthographical categories. Next, errors were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Though the results revealed that both groups committed errors in all seven categories: morphological (article and preposition), syntactical (tense and word order), and orthographic (capitalization, spelling, and punctuation) types, EG’s errors were fewer than CG’s. This implies that BL can lead to effective remedial writing in Madrasa classrooms. In addition, EG’s pre-test scores were also greater than post-test scores, which has implications for adopting BL at different Madaris in India.","PeriodicalId":13758,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89409063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

About 30 to 40 percent of the total heat delivered to the engine in the form of fuel is transformed into meaningful mechanical work. It is necessary to convert waste heat into usable work since the leftover heat is released into the environment through exhaust gases and engine cooling systems, leading to an increase in entropy and major environmental degradation. Due to the specific advantages of thermoelectric generators, they have emerged as a possible alternative green technology as waste heat recovering techniques like the thermoelectric generator (TEG) are developed. A techniquethat can directly convert the thermal energy found in exhaust gas into electric power is the subject of the majority of current study. In this research, a thermoelectric power generator based on exhaust gas was developed for industrial use. The exhaust gases in the pipe serve as the thermoelectric power generator's heat source. As a result, this study suggests and puts into practice a thermoelectric waste heat energy recovery system using the exhaust heat from running equipment. The goal of the project is to directly transform the heat energy from vehicle waste heat to electrical energy using a thermoelectric generator. Although the largest amount of electric power produced by such a system is just 10 W from a single TEG module, significant advancements in material science can make the ambitious aim of generating larger wattages by any means a real possibility.","PeriodicalId":13758,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Science","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80614760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rivers are areas that should be avoided when their width exceeds the maximum distance between poles. The methodology consists in generate Voronoi edges from which the medial axis and the width of each point of the river are obtained. Then, a buffer is placed in each vertex of the river higher than a threshold.
