Abstract
A theoretical exercise is conferred for the magneto-micropolar nanofluid layer flow past a wedge surface by virtue of its numerous fundamental problems which arise in nanotechnology, chemical engineering, polymers etc. The model exemplify an isothermal wedge surface. The fluid is incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting and carrying ion slip and Hall currents with source or sink. The Eringen micropolar model is set up for rheological properties of the nanofluid. A Tiwari-Das nanoscale formulation is utilized in order to study specific nanoparticles and base fluids. The dimensionless transformed, coupled momentum, angular momentum (micro-rotation) and thermal perimeter layer equations are solved with the efficient MATLAB bvp4c numerical scheme. Validation with earlier studies is conducted. The influence of Hartman number , Hartree pressure gradient parameter , Eringen vortex viscosity (micropolar) parameter , nanoparticle volume fraction , heat absorption (sink) parameter , Prandtl number and nanoparticle type on velocity , angular velocity , temperature , skin friction function and Nusselt number function are visualized graphically and in tables. The magnetic effects supports the transverse, horizontal velocity and temperature but suspends the angular velocity. Optimum rate of heat transfer is procured with iron oxide nanoparticles dropped in water and copper nanoparticles hanging in engine-oil

Abstract
According to NEDO road map 2017 in Japan, polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) system is required to be operated at 373 K for mobility applications from 2020 to 2025. However, the PEFC system is usually operated below 353 K. If PEFC system is operated at higher temprature than usual, we have to consider the following problems: (i) degdaration of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), (ii) catalyst erosion, (iii) uneven distribution of gas flow, pressure, temperature, voltage, and current in the PEFC. They should be solved to commercialize the PEFC system which can be operated at higher temperature.This study investigates the impact of separator thickness on distribution on reaction tempearature (Treact) changing relative humidity (RH) of supply gas changing separator thickness. This study has developed 1D heat trasnfer model considering vapor transfer to simulate the distribution of Treact. Separator thickness has been changed by 2.0 mm (Saddle thikcness: 1.0 mm, Channel height: 1.0 mm), 1.5 mm (Saddle thickness: 0.5 mm, Channel height: 1.0 mm) and 1.0 mm (Saddle thickness: 0.5 mm, Channel height: 0.5 mm). As a result, the distribution of Treact – Tini in case of separator thickness of 2.0 mm is the lowest among the investigated separator thicknesses. It is due to the largest heat capacity of separator. Consdeering the relationship between standard deviation of distribution of Treact – Tini and voltage obtained in the power generation experiment, the value of standard deviation in case of separator thickness of 1.0 mm is the smallest among the investigated separator thicknesses. It is revealed that the thermal properties of separator are important to obtain higher power generation performance as well as even temperature distribution under high tempreature operation condition such as 353 K.

Abstract
In recent years, environmentally friendly lacquer systems have been introduced in the woodworking industry. The most modern solutions include varnish products hardened by UV radiation. For their hardening various radiators are proposed (Hg, Ga). Recently there has been interest in energy-saving LED radiators. In these technologies, not only the application quantity, but also the type, number and power of the radiators play an important role. These parameters affect the interlayer adherence of the coating system. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of application and curing parameters of UV varnish systems on interlayer adherence. The material was prepared under industrial conditions. HDF boards faced with 4-sided ABS edges were finished with varnish systems using electromagnetic radiation energy.
Adhesion tests were carried out in accordance with PN-EN ISO 4624 standard. Test stamps with 20 mm diameter were glued to the tested surfaces using silane-epoxy adhesive. The samples were then subjected to 168 hours of air conditioning. Adherence was performed with a hydraulically driven PostiTest device. Images of delamination at destructive loadings were assessed visually.
On the basis of the test results, the correctness of the selected application and curing parameters of the coating systems was established. It was shown that the substrate - an HDF board - was predominantly the weakest part in the tested systems.

Abstract
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a hydro-renewable energy that utilize the temperature difference of warm surface seawater and deep cold seawater to operate turbine generator, thus producing electrical power by using the principle of Rankine Cycle. In the closed cycle of the OTEC system, a working fluid is circulated in a closed loop, which contains the principal components of heat exchanger, turbine generator and pumps. The aim of the study is to design and fabricate heat exchanger closed cycle of OTEC plant in the laboratory scale, which is able to generate a maximum of 10W of electrical power. Performances of single helical coil and double helical coil heat exchangers are studied by using the log mean temperature and effectiveness method. An increase in pressure in the refrigerant cycle increases the refrigerant velocity and thus increasing the power output of the system. Double helical coil heat exchanger has a higher heat transfer performance compared to single helical coil heat exchanger. A maximum efficiency of 26% is achieved for the closed cycle OTEC system with the double helical coil heat exchanger compared with the existing study which is 12% and this shows great achievement and enhance the working of the plant to generate proper amount of electricity. Future studies may aim at using the types of system and materials that are closely related or similar to the actual plant.

Abstract
Mineralogical-chemical characterization of bottom ash (BA) produced at incinerators is of major importance to determine, other than its composition, also the effect of temperature on treated waste and presence of stable/unstable phases. Waste incineration, in fact, represents the mainstream method for the management of unsorted urban and industrial wastes in many industrialized countries. BA is composed of refractory silicate materials, metals, glass as well as mineral phases newly formed at high temperature in the combustion chamber (T>900°C). Variable amounts of hazardous heavy metals, like Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, can be still present in BA, and their evaluation is useful for optimizing the waste sorting.
Vitrification offers great advantages because of high destruction efficiency for organics (e.g., dioxin), immobilization of harmful elements and volume reduction. Vitrification experiments have been performed at lab scale under atmospheric conditions, Tmax 1100°C, for different durations (2–16h). Mineralogical results revelead that T< 1100°C and duration (<16 h) were not sufficient to produce homogeneous glassy products. For instance, amorphous content ≥65wt.% is reached in samples treated at highest T and duration. Additionally, results demonstrate that overall volatility of metals increases with treatment time and it can be influenced by the waste material incinerated (e.g., more plastics give more Cl) and the vitrification environment (air, or controlled atmosphere). Vitrification allows us to produce new glassy or ceramic-glass materials, relatively inert and suitable for potential insertion in new products and/or upcycling applications in the building industry.

Abstract
Globally, rapidly growing population and overwhelming industrialization are progressively depleting the freshwater resources. Contaminated water is severely damaging the environment by causing serious risks to human health and aquatic biota which puts in stressing demand to develop wastewater treatment strategies. The present work reports a one-pot synthesis of non-metal/transition metal co-doped TiO2 nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of reactive azo dye from aqueous solution. Various derivatives of TiO2 nano photocatalysts as S@TiO2 (singly-doped), and Mn/S@co-doped TiO2 with different weight percents were successfully synthesized and analyzed for detailed material characterization. The results revealed that S/Mn codoped TiO2 nanocomposite exhibited high surface area, large pore volume and enhanced optical properties than undoped and S-doped TiO2. Furthermore, the photoactivity of TiO2 nanoparticles was tested for Reactive Blue photocatalytic degradation. The co-doped nanocomposites (Mn/S@TiO2) manifested remarkable photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Reactive Blue dye under visible-light irradiation. The optimum degradation efficiency attained for reactive blue with Mn/S@TiO2 nanocomposites was 92% in a short time of ~70 min. The kinetic rate constants were found to be 0.00796, 0.04297 min and 0.0742 min-1 for undoped TiO2, S@TiO2 and Mn/S@TiO2, respectively. The significant degradation values and kinetic rate constant values strongly suggested that co-doped TiO2 degraded Reactive Blue at a higher rate than did undoped and S-doped TiO2. In addition, Mn/S@TiO2 catalyst can be effectively employed for the degradation of a range of textile dyes from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Heavy metals are considered as important pollutants of fresh water, as they have a harmful effect on human and animal health, and on the growth of some agricultural plants, as well as reducing production or the rate of fruit ripening.In this research, thebio-composite nano-membrane based on poly vinyl chloride (PVC) as a support layer coated with a layer of Nylon 6 and overlapping with bark of alovera. The membrane was evaluated on the separation of heavy metals pb1+ and Cr2+ from polluted wastewater by studying thepermeate flow rate, temperature, the effect of pH and initial concentration of heavy metals during the separation process by the prepared bio-composite membrane. The membrane was prepared by ultrasonic physical impregnation mixing method in the presence of ultrasonicate waves to complete mixing process with Nylon 6 with chemical bonds. The results showed that the membrane has a high ability to separate and isolate the elements pb1+ and Cr2+ at different and high concentrations, various pH degrees and high temperatures. The membrane was characterized by SEM, IR, XRD, and TGA to determine the chemical and physical properties as well as the morphology of the membrane surface. By evaluating the membrane, it was found that the membrane having top layer with rough amorphous surface which help to increase the surface area of the prepared membrane and the pores are within 2 nm in the surface and inside from 5 to7 nm that increase the ability of the membrane to remove heavy metals such as pb1+ and Cr2+.The prepared membrane is an environmentally eco-friendly membrane based on a natural source in the treatment and can be applied in the tertiary treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
Intelligent document processing has been a hot topic for research in the industry. This is because it increases business efficiency while saving the cost to the company. Big financial firms, medical institutions and legal entities process tons of documents on a daily basis. Manually processing all the documents is a time-consuming and laborious process. Machine Learning and Data Science come to our help in easing the work. End-to-end solutions that take the scans of documents, classify them, extract relevant key-value pairs and provide summaries are being built. The solutions can be deployed on cloud platforms like the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure to achieve the required scale. The race is now towards building a solution that is able to match human intellect and provide the desired throughput with minimal human intervention. Thus, it’s really important to use the available data and machine learning approaches in the most-efficient way to tackle this problem.

Abstract
Microwave induced plasmas (MIP) are created and maintained by using an electromagnetic energysource, with frequency in the range of 300 MHz–10 GHz, in the absence of electrodes, thus limiting gas contamination. These sources have wide range of operating powers (from few watts to megawatts), required by thermal torches from very low pressures to several atmospheres. Because of these advantages, different types of atmospheric MIP sources have been developed in the last decade. In particular, the Microwave Continuous Flow Reactor (MCFR), Surface Wave Sustained Plasma (SWSP), Torch with Axial Gas Injection (TIA), Microwave Plasma Torch (MPT) and Microwave Cavity Plasma are well-known types of MW plasma sources. On the bases of design, working conditions and plasma properties, microwave plasma torches (MPT) are known as waveguide-supplied surface-wave-discharge MPT (surfaguide), coaxial-line-supplied coaxial-line-based nozzle- type MPT, waveguide-supplied coaxial-line-based nozzletypeMPT, waveguide-supplied coaxial-line-based nozzlelessMPT, waveguide-supplied metal-cylinder-based nozzlelessMPT, waveguide-supplied resonant-cavity-based MPT, coaxial-line-supplied strip-line-based and waveguide-supplied plasma-sheet MPTs. MPTs can operate in both confined and non-confined modes, corresponding to semi-metallic torches and metallic torches, respectively. In general,high density microwave plasma torches are designed as they canprovide suitable condition to dissociate molecules in the abatementsystems and burn out chemical and biological warfareagents, and to atomize and synthesize new materials. Therefore,it is very important to experimentally characterize the generatedmicrowave plasma in order to ensure that it is suitable for the desiredtechnical application. Fundamental plasma parameters, suchas gas temperature, gas velocity and active species emission profilesneed to be determined in order to have a complete plasmacharacterization. The gas temperature is related to the energy distributionamong the heavier particles in the plasma. It can differbetween different species and energy modes and it may be differentfrom the plasma electron temperature. Therefore simulation and experimental investigations are made to understand gas heating and dissociation in a microwave (MW) plasma torch at atmospheric pressure. Therefore our study reveals that microwave plasma torch can be used for waste (toxic gases like H2S, CH4etc) to energy (Hydrogen) applications efficiently.

Abstract
Milk is made up of two proteins, casein and Whey protein can be separated from the casein in milk or formed as a by-product of cheese making. The milk constituents (80%) casein and (20%) whey protein. Whey protein is nutritionally most valuable component; they are composed of thermosensitive fractions, such as lactoglobulin and lactalbumin. The heavy and light chain immunoglobulin (IGs), bovine serum albumin (BSA), lactoferrin (LF), lactoperoxidase and glycomacropeptide (GMP) may also include the protease peptone components and low molecular weight products formed by the enzymatic degradation of the caseins during the cheese-making process. The Whey protein contains all amino acids ( nine essential amino acids) having a rich and balanced source of the sulfur amino acids that serve a critical role in releasing antioxidants and is potent for effective metabolism because it contains 3 to +4 times more bioavailable cysteine than other proteins. Cysteine is important for the biosynthesis of glutathione, a tripeptide with antioxidants, anticarcinogen and immune-stimulatory properties. Currently, numerous studies are conducted on whey protein extraction and usage, but in the case of human health intervention, a large number of studies will be necessary to describe the overall well-being of whey protein for the eradication of different diseases and ailments of human beings. In this paradigm, the present study attempt to address the health importance of whey protein by reviewing published articles worldwide. A total of 1465 articles were reviewed with an effective size of the population (n=136). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were adopted for reviewing the research papers. As per the literature survey , major health benefits of whey protein was noticed viz development of strength and improve body composition (95.12%, odds 3.22,p=0.001), promote weight loss by boosting metabolism (85%,odds 1.22,p=0.0031), suppressing appetite (73.21%,odds 4.55 ,p=0.00), boost the immune system (79.33%,odds 8.55,p=0.00) ,effective metabolism (84.52 %,odds 3.88,p=0.001) , bone development (93.63 %,odds 4.74,p=0.001) , reduce inflammation (83.15%,odds 1.33,p=0.00) , promote rapid healing of wounds (88.91%,odds 5.63,p=0.002) , lowering of blood pressure (79.52% odds 6.55,p=0.0008) , reduce hunger (87.33%,odds 5.42,p=0.000) , repair and preserve muscle tissue (94.85%,odds 3.87,p=0.00) , reduce the cholesterol (77.13%,odds 1.74,p=0.00) and suppressing the appetite (88.09%,odds 2.87,p=0.00) . Nowadays, the whey protein is rarely used in degenerative diseases and can be treated through chemotherapy, surgical operations, and a proper diet, often a part of this diet because of its rehabilitative benefits especially when it comes to autoimmune disorders or lupus and also treating different types of malignancy and Immunocompromised diseases like AIDS/HIV and TB co infection etc , . The results shows undesirable effects (95% with CI; 89.21- 102.33 %; AUC 0.97; specificity 98%, sensitivity 100%) that can be combated with an increased intake of whey protein increased CVD and ischemic stroke . In the realistic and practical approach, whey protein is one of the most important bioavailability resources for maintaining our gut system (p<0.001, odds 6.77). This kind of evidence-based Meta-analysis approach will help us to extend the basic and advanced nutritional health studies. Whey protein will be more health benefits for terminal illness patients (HIV, Cancer, neurological disorder, severely malnourished children, stunting, TB co-infection and meningitis etc). This study can serve as a tool for nutritionists, food specialists and clinicians for the formulation of food charts for terminal illness patients.

Abstract
The rising concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) due to the enormous exploitation of fossil fuels is leading to ever-increasing global warming. Therefore, a treaty is signed between 196 nations of the world to limit global warming in the Paris Agreement held in 2015. A clean alternative fuel i.e., economically viable, leaving net-zero emissions on burning, can be used in the automobile engines without much engine modifications required to replace fossil fuels. Hydrogen (H2) is one such alternative clean fuel since it gives only water (H2O) on burning. H2 has a high calorific value and can be a promising alternative to fossil-based fuels. The H2 production method too should be green, since producing green H2 is needed for controlling global warming, whereas using grey H2 is meaningless when we talk about sustainability. Further, the techno-economic feasibility is another milestone that needs to be achieved for cleaner H2 production. Currently, more than 80% of H2 produced in the world is grey in nature. Gas reforming techniques are the main processes for H2 production, which can be modified into green H2 production processes. Among the different color spectrums of H2 production, the green, turquoise, and blue colors with shine and others may fade in the near future.

Abstract
The nonlinear acoustic waves in piezoelectric resonators are getting attention in product development due to the continuous shrinkage of sizes to a critical limit which causes the effect of electric field is no longer neglectable. Consequently, nonlinear formulation and analysis of wave propagation in such smaller resonators are important in the inception and development future generation of resonators with good properties. By formulating wave propagation and vibrations with a complete set of nonlinear variables and constitutive relations, both kinematic and constitutive nonlinearities are included along with boundary conditions. These differential equations have to be simplified with the newly proposed extended Galerkin method for a simple and efficient solution procedure. Specifically, the weighted integration over both physical domain and the full period of time, in case of a periodic motion, is employed to both equations of motion and boundary conditions, then nonlinear variables including amplitudes and frequency, among others, appear in a set of algebraic equations as a typical nonlinear eigenvalue problem. If it is a static problem, then it is a problem involving the solution of a system of nonlinear equations. In principle, this is equivalent to the utilization of harmonic balance method for the approximation of trigonometric functions, as it is explained in earlier introduction of the extended Galerkin and Rayleigh-Ritz methods. The nonlinear formulation and solution of the Rayleigh wave problem is straightforward with the extended Galerkin method, and numerical results of wave velocity versus deformation for both isotropic and anisotropic materials are obtained and also validated with the finite element analysis. The nonlinear formulation will be applied to the analysis of surface acoustic wave resonators to address the nonlinear effect related to the development of miniaturized products with good properties as a novel technique

Abstract
Road-marks play an important role to highlight the road driving zones, non-driving zones and driving directions to the vehicles’ drivers at both day and night times. They are performed manually in the current systems worldwide through two main processes, namely, pre-marking and road-marking by thermoplastic and cold machines. Such manual-system is suffering from:
- No safety at all with such system, blocking of the roads for long time during painting process
- manual machines need to be adjusted from time to time based on the roads conditions
- the accuracy of such system can’t be always guaranteed due to human errors,
- manual system is always labor intensive and requires a high operational cost due to the wages needed for hiring professional operators.
An AI-based autonomous road-marks system can overcome the drawbacks of the manual-system, but such system must be able to deal-with hundreds of road-marks conditions which in-fact need a robust algorithm to determine the types of road-marks and drive the robot/vehicle in the right position along its movement without human interaction.
Our recent works in autonomous road marks painting are considered as one of the 1st works towards building an autonomous vehicular system for road-marks painting.It depends on 2 sub-system: online sensor fusion for integrating the data of LaserRangeFinder, Wi-fi camera and odometry to determine the exact path of the paint within the road environments.

Abstract
Technological advancements of coronary stents have progressively revolutionized the treatment of ischemic heart disease over the past 40 years.The process of atherogenesis is beyond the mere accumulation of lipids, as it presents a series of responses characteristic to inflammatory disease .Repeated episodes of ischemia are a potential source of the inflammatory stimulus1, and the so-called “ inflammatory hypothesis ”is now a targeted, therapeutic area in clinical and experimental cardiology. However, coronary artery disease (CAD) could become chronic (arteries narrowing over time) or acute (resulting from a sudden rupture of plaque), necessitating stent-based clinical intervention, to unblock arteries and regulate normal blood flow.A stent forms a tiny wire mesh tube designed to remain permanently implanted at the intended site.
Although bare metal stents (BMS) prevented abrupt occlusion/recoil for reproducible clinical outcomes, the challenge of in-stent restenosis (re-narrowing artery wall after stent implantation) is troublesome. Drug eluting stents (DES) introduced , primarily addressed in-stent restenosis. Nanotechnology during PCI promote healing by inducing endothelialization of the stent and reduce restenosis. Endothelial healing and re-endothelialization may restore the injured vessel. Nano-sized hydroxyapatite coating, carbon nanoparticle coated stents with consistent release of sirolimus, pitavastatin and Magnetic silica nanoparticles with rapamycin exhibit endothelialization in vitro-studies. Liposome encapsulated alendronate (a biphosphonate), an antimitotic drug (paclitaxel) in the form of albumin - based nanoparticles with significant antiproliferative effects can reduce restenosis and neointimal hyperplasia in animal models. An in-depth review of bioresorbable stents and scaffolds deserve a separate entity. Electrospunnanosized fibrous scaffolds, Synthetic alternatives for coronary artery bypass grafts were studied in graft procedures.

Abstract
The word ‘’Artificial Intelligence’’ itself derives the meaning that the intelligence developed by machines artificially. Artificial intelligence was not more developed previously. but, in the last few decades, it had developed drastically. even, though AI engineering is offered by various institutes in India. IN artificial intelligence, the machines are developed to grasp the ‘’human cognitive skills, that are associated with the human mind, but not similar. The human skills are learning and problem-solving ability. Some AI applications include web search engines, and recommendation systems (YouTube, Netflix).Artificial Intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956, and since then it has grown drastically. The various sub-fields of AI research are centered around particular goals and the use of particular tools. The traditional goals of AI research include reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception, and the ability to move and manipulate objects. General intelligence (the ability to solve an arbitrary problem) is among the field's long-term goals.
To solve these problems, AI researchers have adapted and integrated a wide range of problem-solving techniques—including search and mathematical optimization, formal logic, artificial neural networks, and methods based on statistics, probability and economics. AI also draws upon computer science, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and many other fields.
