The impacts of filler loading and chemical modification (silane coupling) on the characteristics of the polypropylene composites filled with coir fiber were examined in this study. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength, and water absorption were among the physicomechanical characteristics of the polypropylene/coir fiber composites that improved with increasing coir fiber loading....

Over the years, many researchers have been working to replicate the mineral phase of bone to speed up bone creation and regeneration. It has been established that calcium phosphate crystals and several ions, including fluoride, carbonate, magnesium, sodium, silicon, and strontium, make up the mineral phase of bone. Comparable to amorphous biologic precursors of bone minerals, the Tricalcium...

The Nigerian paint industry faces a challenge managing organic-laden wastewater from manufacturing. This study explores an eco-friendly solution using Glycine max seed powder extract (GMA) as an organic bio-sorbent. GMA, a cost-effectiveness and high efficiency, was assessed for bio-sorption abilities, particularly in Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal from paint industry effluent....

The present investigation aims to investigate the physico-mechanical properties of waste filler-polypropylene composites concerning the compatibilizer concentrations and the industrial waste filler mixing ratio. Three different levels of coupling agent concentration and four different waste filler to polypropylene mixing ratios were used in the experiment to examine the composite's...

This study examines different types of heat sinks and their structures and how rectifier diode resistance affects heat production, as shown by transient and stability analyses. Overheating of electronic components, particularly switching devices and the inability of heat sinks to effectively manage thermal effects are common issues in electrical design. Properly designing heat sink environments...

In this paper, we introduce an approach to increase the density of p-n-heterojunctions in the framework of a neutral point-clamped multilevel inverter. In the framework of the strategy, we consider manufacturing the inverter in a heterostructure with a specific configuration. Several required areas of the heterostructure should be doped by diffusion or ion implantation. After that dopant and...

In this article, we extend the classic Banach contraction principle to a complete metric space equipped with a partial order. We accomplish this by establishing some coincidence point for h-non decreasing self mapping satisfying certain rational type contractions in the framework of a metric space equipped with partial order. These contributions extend the existing literature on metric spaces...

This paper aims at developing an elaborate system for forest fire detection. Disasters are one of the most important and a common type is forest fire. This particular application is chosen to overcome the shortcomings of MODIS and Basic Wireless Sensor Network. To support for step-wise development and implementation of these as more sensors are added aside from the temperature sensor, they were...

The minimum covering energy of a simple graph G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its minimum covering adjacency matrix Ac(G). This study investigates the minimum covering energy of standard graphs including complete graph, star graph, crown graph, complete bipartite graph, and cocktail graph using SCILAB programming. The Minimum covering energy is a critical parameter in...

A sudden spike in construction activity has caused a shortage of conventional building materials. The high cost of conventional building materials is currently one of the major challenges affecting the delivery of houses globally. Consequently, it is increasingly crucial to do research on different building materials. Increased building strength and lower construction costs are the two issues...

Production and consumption of mélange yarns are gradually increasing due to their natural multi-colors and fashionable effects. This study aims to produce a mélange yarn from Egyptian organic cotton fiber from the Giza 86 genotype. All unwashed cotton fibers are pretreated with Reactive Blue 160, C.I: 137160 by scouring or scouring bleaching in three different depth shades. Different dyeing...
