Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

13. History of
Earthenware
• Earthenware pottery has a long and rich history that
dates back thousands of years.
• Earthenware pottery was first utilized in China
during the Neolithic era (8,000–2,000 BCE), and it
was used both for economic and ceremonial
purposes.
• Chinese potters evolved advanced methods for
creating earthenware ceramics over time, including
celadon glazes, underglaze painting, and slip
ornamentation.
• Earthenware ceramics has a lengthy history in Japan
as well, with specimens dating back to the Jomon
era (14,000-300 BCE).
• Greek potters were renowned for their skill in making
finely painted and decorated earthenware vessels,
such as amphoras, kraters, and kylixes.
• In Rome, earthenware pottery was used for cooking,
storage, and serving, and was often decorated with
intricate relief designs.
14. Characteristics
of Earthenware
• Generally, unfired earthenware bodies
exhibit higher plasticity than most
whiteware bodies and hence are easier to
shape by RAM press, roller-head or potter's
wheel than bone china or porcelain.
• Due to its porosity, fired earthenware, with a
water absorption of 5-8%, must be glazed to
be watertight.
• Earthenware has lower mechanical
strength than bone china, porcelain or
stoneware, and consequently articles are
commonly made in thicker cross-section,
although they are still more easily chipped.
• Darker-coloured terracotta earthenware,
typically orange or red due to a
comparatively high content of iron oxides,
are widely used for flower pots, tiles and
some decorative and oven ware.
15. Raw Materials
for Earthenware
• China Clay
This is used to give earthenware
pottery a smoother texture and a
more refined finish.
• Ball Clay
This is a type of clay that is high in
organic materials and is added to
earthenware clay to improve its
plasticity.
• Feldspar
This is a mineral that is added to
earthenware clay to increase its
strength and durability.
• Quartz
This has an important role to
attenuate drying shrinkage.
17. 1. Preparation of Clay Body
• To ensure uniform moisture content in clay, kneading or wedging is
necessary, aiding in the removal of trapped air within the clay body.
This air elimination process, crucial for consistency, can be
achieved manually through wedging or by employing a vacuum pug
machine.
2. Shaping
a. Potter’s wheel
• In "throwing," a soft clay ball is centered on a turntable called
the wheel-head, rotated manually or with a motor. As the
wheel spins, the clay is gently shaped by pressing, squeezing,
and pulling upward and outward, forming a hollow object.
b. Jiggering & Jolleying
• In jiggering, the clay is first formed into a ball and then placed
on top of the rotating plaster mould. The jigger arm is then
used to apply pressure to the clay, forcing it to conform to the
shape of the mould.
• In jolleying, the clay is also formed into a ball, but it is then
placed inside the rotating mould. The jolly tool is used to apply
pressure to the clay, shaping it to the mould's form.
c. RAM Pressing
• RAM pressing compresses dry or slightly damp clay powder
into a desired shape using a hydraulic press. After firing in a
kiln, the product hardens into its final form. This method
enables the creation of large, intricate objects with precise
accuracy and consistency.
18. 3. Drying
• Before firing, clay articles undergo a crucial drying
process where water content is gradually removed. After
shaping, the clay is left to dry completely, causing it to
shrink and harden as the water evaporates. This drying
period must be conducted meticulously to prevent
cracking or warping, influenced by factors like humidity,
temperature, air circulation, and clay thickness.
4. Firing
• It is the process of heating the clay to a high
temperature in a kiln to harden it and create a finished
product. Firing also gives earthenware pottery its
unique colour and finish.
• Two types of firing are essential in pottery: bisque and
glaze firing.
a) Bisque firing, the initial stage, involves heating
the clay to 900-1000°C to harden it and eliminate
residual moisture.
b) In glaze firing, the bisque-fired pottery is coated
with a glass-like glaze and fired again at 1100-
1200°C, providing a smooth, glossy finish and
safeguarding it from environmental factors like
water.
5. Glazing
• Glazing is integral to earthenware pottery, providing a
glass-like coating that enhances both its aesthetic
appeal and durability. This process involves applying a
mixture of powdered glass and chemicals suspended in
liquid onto the pottery's surface. Glazing not only
creates a smooth, glossy finish but also renders the
pottery impermeable to water and other elements,
making it tougher.
19. Classification of
Earthenware
1. Clay Earthenware
• It consist mainly of clay or clay + sand.
• The clay in clay earthenware should
not be too high in iron oxide content.
2. Lime Earthenware
• It is made from clay which is rich in
calcareous minerals (lime bearing).
• It is highly porous and light weight.
3. Feldspathic Earthenware
• It consists of 5-20% feldspathic
minerals.
• It is dense as compared to lime
earthenware.
20. Classification of
Earthenware on basis
of colour of the fired
body
1. Delft Earthenware
• Delftware is a type of earthenware that is
glazed with a white tin glaze and decorated
with blue and white designs.
• It originated in the city of Delft in the
Netherlands.
2. Faience Earthenware
• Faience is a type of earthenware that is glazed
with SnO2 and often decorated with intricate
designs.
• It is typically red earthenware covered with a
white opaque glaze.
• It originated in France.
21. More types of
Earthenware
1. Terracotta Earthenware
• It is red earthenware also called as Baked
Earth.
• It is strong, fire resistant, porous in nature, has
excellent insulating properties.
• It can be glazed to make waterproof so that it
can be used as drainage material.
• They are used for both home decoration and
cooking purposes. Usually, the Terracotta pots
or vases are used by people to provide an
aesthetic look to their houses, but some
products are perfect for kitchen as well.
2. Slipware
• This is earthenware pottery decorated with
coloured slips.
• Slip is liquid clay that can be used to add color
and texture to pottery. The pot is then coated
with a transparent glaze.
• It is decorated using slip that had been
colored by oxides, such as copper,
manganese, or iron.
22. 3. Majolica
• Majolica is tin-glazed earthenware
pottery.
• The tin oxide makes the glaze an opaque
white color.
• Majolica pottery is bisque fired then the
glaze is applied. Decorations are then
painted onto the unfired glaze using
metal oxides. When the pieces are glaze
fired, the decorations sink into the molten
glaze and become part of the glaze
design. This is known as inglazing.
4. Creamware
• Creamware is a cream-colored
earthenware clay that has been painted
with a transparent lead glaze.
• It was first developed in the 18th Century
in Staffordshire in England.
• It was made from white clay that
contained flint to keep it from cracking as
it is being fired.
23. Challenges to Earthenware
Availability of Substitutes: There are
several alternatives available, like
glassware, advanced ceramics and others.
Moreover, there is a good demand for
synthetic pots and disposable tableware.
Disposable tableware is also in need due to
outdoor parties and a surge in food ordering
from restaurants.
Limited Versatility: While earthenware is
suitable for decorative items and certain
functional pieces, it may not be as durable
or suitable for high-temperature cooking or
extreme conditions.
Economic Factors: Fluctuations in raw
material costs, labor expenses, and market
demand can pose challenges to
earthenware producers, particularly small-
scale artisans and studios.
24. Importance of
Earthenware
• Their porous nature aids in spreading
heat throughout the food unlike other
materials. All dish cooked in clay pots
becomes soft and well prepared.
• One don’t have to use a lot of oil when
preparing excellent meals because
these cooking pots are quite heat
resistant. To conserve money and
maintain their health, many people
choose to utilize these clay pots.
• The recipes cooked in an earthenware
utensil will be quite delicious. There is a
scientific reason behind this fact. As
more time will be required to cook food
in a clay pot, the slow process will help
the food become tastier and more
nutritious.
