Furthermore, the sample may also have been cured by surrounding temperature rather than the selected designated curing process. The inline curing process of conductive ink is required to prevent air cured and simultaneously reduce the manufacturing time. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the inline curing process through a halogen lamp on a PET substrate. The important curing parameters were determined, and the effect on manufacturing time, dispersion rate, and resistance were analyzed. The relationship between the significant parameters, including curing time and temperature, has also been established in which the resistance of the ink track is proportionated to the length of curing time and how high the temperature is applied. The conductive properties were increased when the temperature was elevated, reducing the curing time. However, increasing the time taken to cure the ink caused the substrate to wrap, deform a bit, and slightly damage the sample. It was also observed that the hardness and adhesion level became harder and stronger as the temperature increased. This concludes that the inline curing process using a halogen lamp is feasible on a PET substrate.","PeriodicalId":282600,"journal":{"name":"Advanced and Sustainable Technologies (ASET)","volume":"90 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388968","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}

In order to meet the necessary standards, codes, and specifications, it should adhere to the rules in the appropriate way. Soil, aggregate, and concrete are typically the materials tested. Aggregate testing, which is covered by BS 812, may also be tested in accordance with BS 1377, which regulates soil testing, to determine the particle size distribution. In accordance with the size of the soil, BS 1377 also provides standard guidelines on the test procedure for Proctor compaction. The Archimedes principle is used to determine the density by measuring the displacement of water or a related material, such as paraffin oil or sand. Moreover, the determination of the compressive strength of the concrete is regulated by BS EN 12390. The sampling procedure, standard procedure of the Proctor compaction test, visual evaluation of the compressive strength test failure modes, and the in-situ core should all be examined as described in this paper in order to guarantee the testing's high quality. The last section includes four common case studies in construction connected by the faulty cube-making process, the inconsistent compressive strength result, and the lack of coordination of construction activities. In conclusion, construction material testing is an integral part of quality assurance in construction, but it should be conducted in accordance with the standards to ensure that the materials have the necessary characteristics and properties to perform as intended.","PeriodicalId":282600,"journal":{"name":"Advanced and Sustainable Technologies (ASET)","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388386","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 control plants were only treated with distilled water. The stem diameter (mm) of treated and control plants was measured weekly. At the end of the experimental period, data on growth characteristics such as plant height (cm), leaf area (cm2) and number of leaves were recorded. The estimation of chlorophyll was measured using the SPAD-502 Chlorophyll Meter. Results showed that the plant morphological characteristics of Okra plants were significantly affected by the application of GA3 and PBZ (P<0.0001). In addition, stem growth (expressed as stem cross-sectional area- mm2) of Okra plants was significantly increased with increasing GA3 concentrations. In contrast, applying PBZ reduced Okra plants' stem growth. This study highlighted the major effects of GA3 and PBZ on the growth of Okra plants when planted under tropical climate conditions.","PeriodicalId":282600,"journal":{"name":"Advanced and Sustainable Technologies (ASET)","volume":"108 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141389100","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 primary objectives encompass the application of CFD in pre-processing and analyzing external aerodynamic aspects, coupled with a comprehensive examination of the external flow around a race car for a nuanced understanding of its aerodynamic performance. Various car speeds were considered with the RANS (k-ω SST) turbulent model. The results unveiled a direct correlation between inlet velocity and the maximum velocity attained by the race car. The aerodynamic design intricately directs the airflow, leading to higher velocities predominantly along the upper part of the car body. Noteworthy is the revelation that the highest recorded maximum velocity of 231.06 m/s coincides with a peak inlet velocity of 200 m/s, suggesting a consistent increase in maximum velocity with rising inlet velocity. This research emphasizes the pivotal role of inlet velocity in achieving peak car speed performance. It sheds light on the significance of turbulent model selection in capturing the complexities of external flow dynamics. This knowledge contributes to optimizing the external aerodynamics of race car body design, ultimately enhancing performance and competitiveness in the dynamic world of Formula 1 racing.","PeriodicalId":282600,"journal":{"name":"Advanced and Sustainable Technologies (ASET)","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388245","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}

One major challenge for mushroom cultivation is maintaining optimal environmental conditions, specifically temperature and humidity. Traditional farming methods, prevalent in many parts of the world, lack precise control over these parameters, often leading to poor yield. This paper presents an innovative approach combining the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) for mushroom farm automation. The proposed system employs the ESP8266 microcontroller with specific agricultural sensors for smart monitoring. To regulate the farm's environmental conditions, ML algorithms predict mushroom farm weather states: mild, normal, and hot. The ensemble ML model, comprising five classifiers – Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, K-nearest neighbor, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest – delivers a commendable accuracy of 100% when combining predictions, surpassing the performance of individual classifiers.

Therefore, this study aimed to determine the drying characteristics of Brazilian spinach and investigate the effect of drying temperature on the color and texture quality of Brazilian spinach. Brazilian spinach leaves were dried using a hot air dryer under different temperatures (30, 50, 70 and 90°C). Results showed that the drying rate increased when temperature increased.
