Studies on properties and estimation problems for modified extension of exponential distribution
The present paper considers modified extension of the exponential
distribution with three parameters. We study the main properties of this new
distribution, with special emphasis on its median, mode and moments function
and some characteristics related to reliability studies. For Modified-
extension exponential distribution (MEXED) we have obtained the Bayes
Estimators of scale and shape parameters using Lindley's approximation
(L-approximation) under squared error loss function. But, through this
approximation technique it is not possible to compute the interval estimates of
the parameters. Therefore, we also propose Gibbs sampling method to generate
sample from the posterior distribution. On the basis of generated posterior
sample we computed the Bayes estimates of the unknown parameters and
constructed 95 % highest posterior density credible intervals. A Monte Carlo
simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of Bayes estimators
with the corresponding classical estimators in terms of their simulated risk. A
real data set has been considered for illustrative purpose of the study.Comment: 22,
Integrating three pillars of sustainability for evaluating the modular construction building
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sustainability performance of modular construction from a life cycle perspective. So far, the sustainability performance of modular buildings has been explored from a life cycle viewpoint. There is no comprehensive study showing which material is the best choice for modular construction considering all three sustainable pillars. Therefore, a life cycle sustainability performance framework, including the three-pillar evaluation framework, was developed for different modular buildings. The materials are concrete, steel and timber constructed as a modular construction method.
Design/methodology/approach – Transitioning the built environment to a circular economy is vital to achieving sustainability goals. Modular construction is perceived as the future of the construction industry, and in combination with objective sustainability, it is still in the evaluation phase. A life cycle sustainability assessment, which includes life cycle assessment, life cycle cost and social life cycle assessment, has been selected to evaluate alternative materials for constructing a case study building using modular strategies. Subsequently, the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method was used to compute the outranking scores for each modular component.
Findings – The calculated embodied impacts and global warming potential (GWP) showed that material production is the most critical phase (65%–88% of embodied energy and 64%–86% of GWP). The result of embodied energy and GWP shows timber as an ideal choice. Timber modular has a 21% and 11% lower GWP than concrete and steel, respectively. The timber structure also has 19%and 13% lower embodied energy than concrete and steel. However, the result of the economic analysis revealed that concrete is the most economical choice. The cost calculations indicate that concrete exhibits a lower total cost by 4% compared to timber and 11% higher than steel structures. However, the social assessment suggests that steel emerges as the optimal material when contrasted with timber and concrete. Consequently, determining the best single material for constructing modular buildings becomes challenging. To address this, the MCDM technique is used to identify the optimal choice. Through MCDM analysis, steel demonstrates the best overall performance.
Originality/value – This research is valuable for construction professionals as it gives a deliberate framework for modular buildings’ life cycle sustainability performance and assists with sustainable construction materials
Leachate treatment technique utilizing fly ash as a low cost sorbent
This study was carried out to design a system for the inexpensive treatment of ash pond effluent or leachate. Twelve different coals were burned in three different types of coal fired boilers to determine the influence of coal composition, ash fusion temperatures, boiler additives, combustion conditions and co-firing of natural gas or oil with the coal, on the composition of the fly ash and bottom ash as well as the leaching and sorbate characteristics of the fly ash produced.
The trace elemental analysis consisting of Ti, Cd, Sn, Ni, Pb, Mo, Cu, Cr. Zn, Mn, Ba, and V in the twelve coals and their respective fly and bottom ashes. In addition, the leaching characteristics of the fly ashes with respect to pH, Cd, B, Sn, Ni, Pb, Mo, Cu, Cr, Zn, Mn and Fe have been defined.
The results indicate that in the combustion of low ash fusion coals, the Sn, Ni, Mo, Cu, Cr and Mn tend to concentrate in the bottom ash, whereas the Ti, Zn and Ba tend to concentrate in the fly ash. For the high fusion coal, Sn, Cd, Pb, Mo, Cu, Cr, Ba and V in the parent coal concentrate in the bottom ash and Ti, Ni, Zn and Mn in the fly ash.
An increase in boiler temperatures were observed to favor lower concentrations of the above trace elements in fly ash particles produced from low ash fusion coals. Also, smaller fly ash particles were found to contain higher concentrations of the above trace elements when compared to that present in larger fly ash particles produced from the same coal.
The addition of the additive LPA-40 (which contains sulfur compounds to alter the sensitivity of the fly ash) to the combustion gases appears partially responsible for the amount of sulfur found on the surface of the fly ash particles.
Leaching of Cd, B, Sn, Ni, Pb, Mo, Cu, Cr, Zn, Mu and Fe from the fly ash was found to be directly proportional to (1) the amount of these trace elements present in the fly ash, (2) decrease in pH, (3) decreases in boiler temperatures and (4) increases in ash fusion temperatures. Fly ash particles which in general leached the least amount of the above elements exhibited the best sorbate characteristics

Effects of sublethal doses of gossypol on haematological properties and biochemical metabolites of male rabbit
[EN] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two sublethal doses of gossypol (GOS) (4 and 20 mg/kg of body weight), administered every other day, on some haematological, biochemical, enzymatic and electrolytic properties and amino and fatty acids in male rabbit blood plasma. The experiment lasted for 16 wk and included two phases: 1) administration period; rabbits were given the experimental doses of GOS for 8 wk; and 2) recovery period; rabbits were allowed 8 wk for complete withdrawal of drugs from the plasma. Results showed that low levels of gossypol increased (P<0.01) haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and white blood cells compared to control. Plasma total protein was increased (P<0.01) by the low GOS dose in both experimental phases. Likewise, glucose concentration was increased (P<0.01) by the high GOS dose during the recovery period. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase enzymes were increased (P<0.01) by the high dose of GOSRamadan, T.; Rashad, A. (2019).

Recurrent neuro fuzzi controller power system stabilizer
Power system stabilizers (PSS) have been widely used to damp low frequency electromechanical oscillations which occur in power systems due to disturbances. If no adequate damping is available, the oscillation can increase and cause system separation. Power system stabilizers (PSS) are installed in power system generator to help the damping of power system oscillations. There are many approaches to enhance damping while extending the power stability limit. To improve power system stabilizer (PSS) design problem include optimal control ,adaptive and self-tuning control, PID control, robust control, variable structure control and intelligent control. In this paper the power stabilizer is based on Recurrent Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (RNFIS) design controller. In order to test the robustness of the proposed design procedure of the (RNFIS), simulations will be carried out for the three-phase to ground fault and 1- phase fault at the middle of one of the transmission line. After these simulations, we will compare the result between a lead-lag and recurrent neuro-fuzzy controllers to see their difference in disturbances. The optimal solutions will be compared where the expected result will show that the oscillations in time response of the machine speed and the rotor angle is damped more effectively when the recurrent neuro-fuzzy controller and applied to the system
