Development of a Composite Material Made of Sand and Molten Polyethylene Using a Scheffler Solar Concentrator | Chapter 02 | Physical Science: New Insights and Developments Vol. 4

 

The production of composite materials with a polyethylene matrix and sand reinforcement, through matrix melting, is energy-intensive. The melting temperature (approximately 200°C) of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is achieved through solar concentration. The plastic melting unit in SAABA, Burkina Faso, uses 8 m² Scheffler concentrators, each with a common cubic receiver. The reflective facets are made of glass mirrors, self-adhesive mirror film, and aluminum mirrors. The average available power of 1.80 kW, obtained with an average solar irradiance of 623 W/m², is sufficient for melting.

In the production of composite materials, the matrix is composed solely of high-grade thermoplastics. The higher the matrix grade, the more fluid the material is during processing. The grade indicates the viscosity index of a material. The development of composite materials not only provides a solution for the recovery of plastic waste but also contributes to significantly reducing the ever-increasing volume of plastic waste, especially LDPE and HDPE, in developing countries.

Building Igorot Identity: Examining the Improvisation and Anaphora in Selected Igorot Ethno Music of Salidummay Cultural Group, the Living Anitos and the Petune | Chapter 4 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 9

 Music serves as a key artistic space for testing with creativity. It supports a means by which one can maintain the creativeness throughout period while also allowing for spontaneity and variation. This paper checks the social and educational context of Igorot music disseminated by the Salidummay Cultural Group (SCG), the Petune (P), and the Living Anitos (TLA) in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the northerly Philippines, drawing on Drout's (2006) work and hybrid similarity anchored in Berger and Luckman's (1966) Social Constructionism Theory (SCT) for allure theoretical orientations and also the idea of rhetorical view through anaphoric repetitions. This paper tries to illustrate how the chosen cultural bands use [indigenous] sounds that are pleasant, harmonized as a tool to navigate their Igorot positions through lyrical genres and approaches containing improvisations and anaphoric tropes. The three ethnic bands preferred were accepted and loved as skillful and motivated inventors descended from their Igorot ancestors, and it was further recognized that their enlightening roots play an important duty in developing their lyrical Igorot identities.

Investigating Effect of Score Level Fusion on Palmprint Palm-vein Multimodal Biometric Identification | Chapter 8 | Recent Progress in Science and Technology Vol. 6

 Identification utilizing biometric systems has many advantages. Moreover, multimodal biometric plans comprising as well one biometric characteristic, improve the veracity of identification. Palmprints and touch veins are among the physical biometrics accompanying the most biometric physiognomy. Palmprints and palm veins can be secondhand as biometrics since all has unique and stable face. They are distinct for various persons and can be collected in a touchless acquisition arrangement. In order to use these biometrics for identification, first respective countenances have to be seized and then the images need expected subjected to figure processing stages such as pre-prepare, extracting ROI, feature origin and feature matching. This study proposes a form for segmenting the Region of Interest from the middle domain of the palm by precisely joining the palm in a upright orientation with fingers covering upwards. For investigating the depiction of identification, texture and characteristic based lineaments are extracted from the ROIs to form a feature vector. Weighted Euclidean distance is secondhand for feature matching. Then the likeness score using Min-Max normalization are determined. Fusion is achieved using burden sum method. The effect of score level melding on identification is intentional and evaluated with biometric limits GAR and EER. The results obtained are resolved in this paper.

Mitochondrial Dynamics in Triple Negative Breast Cancer| Chapter 7 | Current Innovations in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 7

 Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a type of bosom malignancy accompanying short endurance rates. It is an assertive virulence accompanying large size for clothing. It is too more opposing to a destructive agent & is well proliferative. They have larger aggregation of stem containers & invulnerable containers distinguished to different feelings cancers. A first-rate mitochondrial pool is necessary for these alterations to work. The fitness of the mitochondria is steadily evaluated by mitochondrial action (eras of melding and splitting). Recent advances in the information of mitochondrial movement in TNBC have showed their detracting function in the progress and spread of tumours.

Fusion Materials I: Book of Abstracts | Book Publisher International

 In today's scientific world, harnessing tera watts of energy in the fusion process has become critical. Various efforts to understand the nature of plasma, interactions within it, and containment, as well as the creation of equipment and apparatus that may successfully accomplish this goal in reality, are a primary focus of research. Materials utilised in the construction of various elements of the reactor, such as the first wall, breeder, limiter, diverter, and rear plate, are also a focus of research. There is still a lot to learn about how to produce, join, integrate, assemble, and operate them in order to create a successful controlled fusion. This symposium aims to fill that need. Studies are presented that focus on the structure of a material and how it affects its properties when exposed to high heat, heat flux, and plasma temperature in a fusion reactor. The goal is to create a material that is not only ideal, but also cost-effective and successfully addresses all material degradation issues when exposed to fusion circumstances. We remain on the Eastern Engineering Solutions Inc platform with these scientific investigations.

Study on Neighborhood Prime Labeling | Chapter 7 | Current Topics on Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 5

A labelling or numbering of a graph G is the assignment of labels to the graph's vertices, which results in a labelling for each edge uv based on the vertex labels f(u) and f(f) (v). Neighborhood prime labelling of Star graphs, Complete bipartite graphs, Fan graphs, Friendship graphs, Flower graphs, Bistar graphs, Comb graphs, Pn splitting graphs, and K1,n splitting graphs are covered in this work. Also covered are the neighbourhood prime labelling in the Ring sum of cycles Cn and K1,n, as well as various graph operations on the Fan and Friendship graphs.
