ENHANCING A NOVEL NEURAL NETWORK ALGORITHM FOR FORECASTING THE IDENTIFICATION OF SHAPES AND DEFECTS IN POLYMER CONCRETE PANELS

The increased durability and performance features of polymer concrete panels have led to their widespread application in construction. The manufacturing of precise and effective techniques for identifying forms and flaws is vital to guarantee the high quality of these panels. To increase the accuracy of structure and defect-recognition in polymer concrete panels, this study presents a new Stochastic raven roosting optimization enhanced artificial neural network (SRRO-EANN) forecasting technique. The data sample used to assess the completed model fits the training dataset is referred to the test dataset. The Gaussian filter (GF) is a tool used in the pre-processing and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) feature extraction, leading to more effective utilization and understanding the defect capturing. The findings of the research indicate the effectiveness for the future development of forecasting technologies in the realm of quality control and building material inspection

Exploring the Architecture 2.0 for the Future of Building Design and Technology

Architecture is the embodiment of an ongoing discourse among socio-cultural, techno-legal commentaries, radical discovery, technological innovations, political processes, and artistic expressions; per say. It addresses the problems of enclosure, connectivity, permanence, usage, organization, aesthetics, and structure. Further, digital technologies, emergence of regulatory authorities, response to climate change and its effects, growing energy and water needs cannot be ignored. Dwindling economy, dropping pay packages, loss of jobs etc are the concerns that shape the future of investments in architecture. In the light of such crucial conditions, architects need to be accountable; not only to clients, but to the society and governments at large. Performing Aesthetics thus emerge as the only panacea for this scenario that is not bright, but gloomy. While mass consumerism, standardization, and mass production were the buzzwords of the second industrial revolution, where performance and efficiency are crucial, the first industrial age focused on the need for machinery and mechanization in both production and construction. Furthermore, post-modernism emerged as a result of mass production monotony. Architecture is preparing for mass consumption in the future, with 3-D printing allowing for mass customization and online building transfers in the form of electronic data. However, there are very few academic conversations that incorporate explanatory theory and aesthetic education. The development of performing aesthetics that stresses the improved "worth and value" for money—the primary focus of the current situation worldwide—requires the identification of a suitable definition as well as the contributing elements and characteristics. The goal of this study is to identify a novel strategy for creating "Architecture 2.0 which generates aesthetically enriched productions" for the future of technology and building design

Exploración de la contribución de la ingeniería a la mejora del flujo de trabajo y la eficiencia en enfermería

Complex health concerns demand a very competent solution that incorporates groups of experts from several fields. When the biomedical engineering viewpoint is extended to contain nursing's real-world viewpoint, there are opportunities for improved technology-nurse interactions and eventual innovations. The finest arrangement for a competent nurse engineer who may consider cutting-edge and original ideas which can enhance patient care and results is found in dual nursing engineering degree programs. An analysis of the literature gives background information on innovation and engineering in nursing, justifies the construction of two ground-breaking joint degrees, and provides a description of those programs. These ground-breaking initiatives will progress medical technology while maximizing the nursing profession's potential to contribute to the development and use of original ideas. Additionally, by giving students who are enrolled in separate Bachelor of Science in Nursing interdisciplinary training and exposure, they can advance their knowledge and skills. If nurses are not actively involved in the discovery and design of patient care devices, significant chances for patient care enhancement are missing. To take advantage of nurse creativity and produce improvements in patient care, creative nurse and engineer cooperation are required. This article's main goal is to highlight two cutting-edge biomedical engineering and nursing collaborations that aim to train innovative professionals and create novel knowledge.Los problemas sanitarios complejos exigen una solución muy competente que incorpore a grupos de expertos de varios campos. Cuando el punto de vista de la ingeniería biomédica se amplía para incluir el punto de vista del mundo real de la enfermería, surgen oportunidades para mejorar las interacciones entre la tecnología y la enfermería y para eventuales innovaciones. La mejor disposición para un enfermero ingeniero competente que pueda considerar ideas vanguardistas y originales que puedan mejorar los cuidados y los resultados de los pacientes se encuentra en los programas duales de grado en ingeniería de enfermería. Un análisis de la bibliografía ofrece información de fondo sobre la innovación y la ingeniería en enfermería, justifica la construcción de dos titulaciones conjuntas pioneras y ofrece una descripción de dichos programas. Estas iniciativas pioneras harán progresar la tecnología médica al tiempo que maximizarán el potencial de la profesión enfermera para contribuir al desarrollo y uso de ideas originales. Además, al ofrecer a los estudiantes que cursan por separado la Licenciatura en Enfermería una formación y exposición interdisciplinarias, pueden avanzar en sus conocimientos y habilidades. Si las enfermeras no participan activamente en el descubrimiento y diseño de dispositivos para el cuidado de los pacientes, se pierden importantes oportunidades de mejorar la atención a los pacientes. Para aprovechar la creatividad de las enfermeras y producir mejoras en la atención al paciente, es necesaria la cooperación creativa de enfermeras e ingenieros. El objetivo principal de este artículo es destacar dos colaboraciones punteras entre ingeniería biomédica y enfermería que pretenden formar a profesionales innovadores y crear conocimientos novedosos

Energy and Exergy Analysis of Multi-Temperature PCMs Employed in a Latent Heat Storage System and Parabolic Trough Collector

AbstractThis study represents the exergy analysis of the evacuated tube parabolic trough collector and the cascaded latent heat storage system using multi-temperature phase change material (PCMs) during the charging process. The objective of the work is to control the losses and increase the efficiency of the system. The exergy analysis has been conducted on the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics in a parabolic trough collector with various mass flow rates of the heat transfer fluid (HTF). The overall variation of exergy efficiency of the collector with varying mass flow rate of the HTF is 5.9 %. The thermodynamic analysis of the cascaded latent heat storage system has been done during the charging process in which the PCM absorbs energy from the HTF and undergoes a phase transformation from the solid to the liquid state. The exergy analysis is conducted by varying the mass flow rate of the HTF in the storage system for both insulated and non-insulated systems. It is noticed that the variation of exergy stored for 5 and 10 liters per minute is 24.609 kW and 40.48 kW, respectively. It is concluded that the high range of energy and exergy stored in the system is achieved by the high flow rate of the HTF.</jats:p
