In actuality, this has impacted the environment significantly. Waste production has been drastically reduced, and electricity and water usage have been reduced significantly. Therefore, this paper focuses on electricity and water consumption, where a comparison study was conducted between electricity consumption in KWHs and water consumption in gallons before and after the pandemic. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer faculty members and fewer students on campus will reflect a reduction in the amount of waste produced on campus.

The spectra of both streamwise and normal fluctuating velocity components ($text{u}^{prime}$ and $text{v}^{prime}$ respectively) show that their power spectral densities are greatly diminished. This active flow control helps the low momentum fluid in the boundary layer to overcome the unfavorable effect of the adverse pressure gradient and control flow separation on the suction surface of the airfoil. The spectral study results reveal that the vortex shedding is controlled by the duty cycle frequency $(f_{text{d}text{c}})$ used.

However, the ubiquitous deployment of sensor devices requires sophisticated communication techniques to ensure seamless connectivity especially in geographic areas where sensor devices are not supported by stable network connectivity such as rural areas. In this paper, ring topology is proposed for device-to-device (D2D) communication in ubiquitous sensor environments. The proposed scheme aims to achieve workload balancing while ensuring successful message dissemination among the sensor nodes. To this end, the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is used to achieve load balancing such that each of the communicating nodes participates only once by receiving and forwarding the message to the next node in a ring fashion until returning to the originating node. The TSP approach generally aims to minimize the total trip distance of the multi-hop path in the D2D network and ensures that all nodes will receive the message. This approach is compared with the greedy approach whereby each sensor node determines the next hop based on the minimum distance only. Results show that the proposed scheme ensures load balancing and guarantees that all sensor nodes will receive the message.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124724656","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}

An Android-based mobile application also facilitates its usability by controlling home appliances using voice-activated commands. This work demonstrates a fully functional small-scale prototype using Arduino IDE which could easily be scaled up to an industrial scale as an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

Pollution is produced both outside and inside buildings mostly from the machinery we use for convenience. In this paper, a non-standard approach is being explored to solve the problem at hand. Since excessive ventilation can lead to more pollution and infection, and is also a loss of energy, it was decided to focus not on ventilation, but on air purification. To purify the air, a filter created by living plants has been used. For the project, we chose moss, which is unpretentious and small, unlike trees and bushes. Due to the autonomy and scale, our solution is easy to use and brings enormous ecological and social impact. During the research, a biotechnological prototype is created, where it is possible to observe and control moss growth and its productivity. For the algorithm to work correctly, data about the environment is required. For this reason, in this paper, we have described not only the modeling of the system we suggest but also the process of collecting information from the biofilter. By reducing pollution, we will shortly save and stabilize the ecological situation.

Among these, the common-ground inverter has the advantage of eliminating leakage currents and common-mode voltages by bypassing the parasitic capacitance. Many of the common-ground topologies have a higher number of switching and passive components in comparison to the commonly used H-bridge voltage source inverter (HB-VSI). Nevertheless, there exists a few common-ground voltage source inverters (CG-VSIs) that have a similar number of components. However, it is necessary to analyze the power losses and thermal behavior of the CG-VSI and compare the chances of failure in comparison to the conventional HB-VSI. This paper presents the switch stress, power loss, and thermal analysis of the switching devices in a CG-VSI that has the same number of components and a similar configuration as the HB-VSI. The simulations are performed on the PLECS software for different loads and switching frequencies. The results indicate that each of the switches of the CG-VSI has different stresses, power losses, and thermal characteristics. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of switches in the considered CG-VSI can be comparable if the switches are chosen appropriately.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115422549","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}
