The molten salt synthesis (MSS) method was used to effectively prepare green phosphors BaAl1.4Si0.6O3.4N0.6:Eu 2+ (or BSON:Eu 2+ ) via one homogeneous sphere-like morphology utilizing NaNO3 in the form of the reacting agent. The phosphors produced one wide stimulation spectrum between 250 and 460 nm, as well as a significant green emission has a maximum point at 510 nm owing to the 4f 6 1 5d 7 -4f 8 ( S7/2) shifts for Eu 2+ ions. With illumination under 365 as well as 450 nm, the ideal discharge strengths for the specimen prepared utilizing melted salt would receive a boost of 17% and 13%, surpassing the specimen prepared utilizing the traditional solid-state reaction (SSR) approach. The abatement of concentration for the ions of Eu 2+ from BSON:Eu 2+ is 5 mol%. In addition, the interactivity of dipole-dipole would be the cause of said abatement. Heat abatement would be studied utilizing the formation coordinate method with abatement temperature reaching ∼200 C. Elemental mapping as well as power-dispersing X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra demonstrated that the expected BaAl1.4Si0.6O3.4N0.6:Eu 2+ materials were formed.

The traditional white LED product established with a single chip and a single phosphor results in a low color rendering index (CRI). The upgrade of LED package is comprised of two chips and one phosphor material and gives the higher CRI while keeping high luminous efficiency. Based on previous findings, the research paper performs the application of the two chips and two phosphors to enhance the color tunability of LEDs with different amounts and intensities of the two employed phosphors. Additionally, a color design model is built to serve the purpose of bettering the color fine-tuning of the white-light LED module. The maximum value of the difference between the measured CIE 1931 color coordinates and that of the simulated model is approximately 0.0063 around the 6600 K correlated color temperature (CCT). From the results, this study offers a quick approach to achieve the color fine tuning of a white-light LED module with a high CRI and luminous efficiency.

Improving luminous flux and color homogeneity of dual-layer phosphor sctructureTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL

benefits to increase not only optical gain but also color uniformity. Specifically, the greater
the SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ concentration, the greater the output of WLEDs because of the development of green
light component in WLEDs. However, only if the SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ concentration exceeds the level, a slight
decrease in color rendering index (CRI) can occur, which based on Monte Carlo simulation. In addition,
the results of this paper have contributed significantly to the creation of higher-powered WLEDs.

This document summarizes research on the effect of surfactant concentration on the size and photocatalytic properties of copper oxide nano leaves. Copper oxide nano leaves were synthesized using different concentrations of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a surfactant. Characterization with XRD, FTIR and SEM showed that increasing PVP concentration decreased particle size and altered morphology from narrow leaves to shortened, broadened leaves. Photocatalytic testing demonstrated that the sample with the highest PVP concentration degraded Congo Red dye in sunlight most effectively within 4 hours, indicating smaller size and higher surface area enhanced photocatalytic activity.

A new convenient and efficient route for the synthesis of two very important hydroxo-bridged stepped-cubane copper complexes viz: [Cu4(bpy)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (1) and [Cu4(phen)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (2) have been obtained. This synthetic route from the mononuclear CubpyCl2 complex is easier, more reproducible and afforded the complex in a much higher yield than the other two previously reported procedures which were equally serendipitously discovered. The purity and formation of the complexes were confirmed with elemental (C,H,N) analysis and the details of the UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared, electrospray ionization mass spectra of both complexes and the single crystal X-ray crystallography of 1 are presented and discussed. X-ray crystallography confirms the absolute structure of the complexes. The complexes were formed via the connection of four copper atoms to four hydroxide bridging ligands and four bipyridyl ligands with two chloride ligands. There are two coordinate environments around two pairs of copper atoms (CuN2ClO2 and CuN2O3) and each copper atom is pentacoordinate with square pyramidal geometry.

Optical Control of Selectivity of High Rate CO2 Photoreduction Via Interband-...Pawan Kumar
Photonic crystals consisting of TiO2 nanotube arrays (PMTiNTs) with periodically modulated diameters were fabricated using a precise charge-controlled pulsed anodization technique. The PMTiNTs were decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form plasmonic photonic crystal photocatalysts (Au-PMTiNTs). A systematic study of CO2 photoreduction performance on as-prepared samples was conducted using different wavelengths and illumination sequences. A remarkable selectivity of the mechanism of CO2 photoreduction could be engineered by merely varying the spectral composition of the illumination sequence. Under AM1.5 G simulated sunlight (pathway#1), the Au-PMTiNTs produced methane (302 µmol h-1) from CO2 with high selectivity (89.3%). When also illuminated by a UV-poor white lamp (pathway#2), the Au-PMTiNTs produced formaldehyde (420 µmol h-1) and carbon monoxide (323 µmol h-1) with almost no methane evolved. We confirmed the photoreduction results by 13C isotope labeling experiments using GC-MS. These results point to optical control of the selectivity of high-rate CO2 photoreduction through selection of one of two different mechanistic pathways. Pathway#1 implicates electron-hole pairs generated through interband transitions in TiO2 and Au as the primary active species responsible for reducing CO2 to methane. Pathway#2 involves excitation of both TiO2 and surface plasmons in Au. Hot electrons produced by plasmon damping and photogenerated holes in TiO2 proceed to reduce CO2 to HCHO and CO through a plasmonic Z-scheme.

Cubic structured nickel-zinc ferrite nanoparticles (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) have been synthesized by thermal treatment method. This simple procedure employed an aqueous solution containing only metal nitrates as precursors, polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a capping agent, and deionized water as a solvent. The solution was thoroughly stirred for 2 hour, dried at 353 K for 3 hour, the dried material crushed into powder and calcined the powder at 873 K to remove organic substances and crystallize the particles. The microstructure properties of the prepared ferrite nanoparticles were measured using FTIR, XRD, TEM, and EDX and the magnetic properties were determined using VSM and EPR. The average particle size increased from 7 to 22 nm with the increase of calcination temperature from 723 to 873 K. The saturation magnetization, coercivity field, and g-factor increased respectively from 24 emu/g, 11 G, and 2.0673at 723 K to 38 emu/g, 60 G, and 2.1227 at 873 K. This method offers simplicity, a low cost, and an environmentally friendly operation since it produces no by-product effluents.

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.

light component in WLEDs. However, only if the SrBaSiO4:Eu2+ concentration exceeds the level, a slight
decrease in color rendering index (CRI) can occur, which based on Monte Carlo simulation. In addition,
the results of this paper have contributed significantly to the creation of higher-powered WLEDs.
The Effect of Size of the CuO Nanoleaves on the Sunlight Driven Photocatalyti...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on the effect of surfactant concentration on the size and photocatalytic properties of copper oxide nano leaves. Copper oxide nano leaves were synthesized using different concentrations of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a surfactant. Characterization with XRD, FTIR and SEM showed that increasing PVP concentration decreased particle size and altered morphology from narrow leaves to shortened, broadened leaves. Photocatalytic testing demonstrated that the sample with the highest PVP concentration degraded Congo Red dye in sunlight most effectively within 4 hours, indicating smaller size and higher surface area enhanced photocatalytic activity.
New One-Pot Synthetic Route and Spectroscopic Characterization of Hydroxo-Bri...AJASTJournal
A new convenient and efficient route for the synthesis of two very important hydroxo-bridged stepped-cubane copper complexes viz: [Cu4(bpy)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (1) and [Cu4(phen)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (2) have been obtained. This synthetic route from the mononuclear CubpyCl2 complex is easier, more reproducible and afforded the complex in a much higher yield than the other two previously reported procedures which were equally serendipitously discovered. The purity and formation of the complexes were confirmed with elemental (C,H,N) analysis and the details of the UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared, electrospray ionization mass spectra of both complexes and the single crystal X-ray crystallography of 1 are presented and discussed. X-ray crystallography confirms the absolute structure of the complexes. The complexes were formed via the connection of four copper atoms to four hydroxide bridging ligands and four bipyridyl ligands with two chloride ligands. There are two coordinate environments around two pairs of copper atoms (CuN2ClO2 and CuN2O3) and each copper atom is pentacoordinate with square pyramidal geometry.

Optical Control of Selectivity of High Rate CO2 Photoreduction Via Interband-...Pawan Kumar
Photonic crystals consisting of TiO2 nanotube arrays (PMTiNTs) with periodically modulated diameters were fabricated using a precise charge-controlled pulsed anodization technique. The PMTiNTs were decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form plasmonic photonic crystal photocatalysts (Au-PMTiNTs). A systematic study of CO2 photoreduction performance on as-prepared samples was conducted using different wavelengths and illumination sequences. A remarkable selectivity of the mechanism of CO2 photoreduction could be engineered by merely varying the spectral composition of the illumination sequence. Under AM1.5 G simulated sunlight (pathway#1), the Au-PMTiNTs produced methane (302 µmol h-1) from CO2 with high selectivity (89.3%). When also illuminated by a UV-poor white lamp (pathway#2), the Au-PMTiNTs produced formaldehyde (420 µmol h-1) and carbon monoxide (323 µmol h-1) with almost no methane evolved. We confirmed the photoreduction results by 13C isotope labeling experiments using GC-MS. These results point to optical control of the selectivity of high-rate CO2 photoreduction through selection of one of two different mechanistic pathways. Pathway#1 implicates electron-hole pairs generated through interband transitions in TiO2 and Au as the primary active species responsible for reducing CO2 to methane. Pathway#2 involves excitation of both TiO2 and surface plasmons in Au. Hot electrons produced by plasmon damping and photogenerated holes in TiO2 proceed to reduce CO2 to HCHO and CO through a plasmonic Z-scheme.

Cubic structured nickel-zinc ferrite nanoparticles (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) have been synthesized by thermal treatment method. This simple procedure employed an aqueous solution containing only metal nitrates as precursors, polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a capping agent, and deionized water as a solvent. The solution was thoroughly stirred for 2 hour, dried at 353 K for 3 hour, the dried material crushed into powder and calcined the powder at 873 K to remove organic substances and crystallize the particles. The microstructure properties of the prepared ferrite nanoparticles were measured using FTIR, XRD, TEM, and EDX and the magnetic properties were determined using VSM and EPR. The average particle size increased from 7 to 22 nm with the increase of calcination temperature from 723 to 873 K. The saturation magnetization, coercivity field, and g-factor increased respectively from 24 emu/g, 11 G, and 2.0673at 723 K to 38 emu/g, 60 G, and 2.1227 at 873 K. This method offers simplicity, a low cost, and an environmentally friendly operation since it produces no by-product effluents.

A facile method to prepare CdO-Mn3O4 nanocompositeIOSR Journals
CdO-Mn3O4 nanocomposite has been prepared by a simple solvothermal method using a domestic microwave oven. Cadmium acetate, manganese acetate and urea were used as the precursors and ethylene glycol as the solvent. The as-prepared sample was annealed for 1 hour in each case at different temperatures, viz. 100, 200 and 300°C.

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.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
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.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.

This review focuses on the importance of identifying potential fishing zones in seawater for sustainable fishing practices. It explores features like sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH), along with classification methods such as classifiers. The features like SST, SSH, and different classifiers used to classify the data, have been figured out in this review study. This study underscores the importance of examining potential fishing zones using advanced analytical techniques. It thoroughly explores the methodologies employed by researchers, covering both past and current approaches. The examination centers on data characteristics and the application of classification algorithms for classification of potential fishing zones. Furthermore, the prediction of potential fishing zones relies significantly on the effectiveness of classification algorithms. Previous research has assessed the performance of models like support vector machines, naïve Bayes, and artificial neural networks (ANN).

As demand for smaller, quicker, and more powerful devices rises, Moore's law is strictly followed. The industry has worked hard to make little devices that boost productivity. The goal is to optimize device density. Scientists are reducing connection delays to improve circuit performance. This helped them understand three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) concepts, which stack active devices and create vertical connections to diminish latency and lower interconnects. Electrical involvement is a big worry with 3D integrates circuits. Researchers have developed and tested through silicon via (TSV) and substrates to decrease electrical wave involvement.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future

Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.

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.

The molten salt synthesis (MSS) method was used to effectively prepare
green phosphors BaAl1.4Si0.6O3.4N0.6:Eu2+
(or BSON:Eu2+
) via one
homogeneous sphere-like morphology utilizing NaNO3 in the form of the
reacting agent. The phosphors produced one wide stimulation spectrum
between 250 and 460 nm, as well as a significant green emission has
a maximum point at 510 nm owing to the 4f6

ions. With illumination under 365 as well as 450 nm, the ideal discharge
strengths for the specimen prepared utilizing melted salt would receive a
boost of 17% and 13%, surpassing the specimen prepared utilizing the
traditional solid-state reaction (SSR) approach. The abatement of
concentration for the ions of Eu2+
from BSON:Eu2+
is 5 mol%. In addition,
the interactivity of dipole-dipole would be the cause of said abatement. Heat
abatement would be studied utilizing the formation coordinate method with
abatement temperature reaching ∼200 C. Elemental mapping as well as
power-dispersing X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra demonstrated that the

1. INTRODUCTION
Because of their minimal energy consumption, extended lifespan, and absence of reliance on
contaminants such as mercury, white light-emitted diodes (WLEDs) have lately been considered important
solid-state light sources for the next-generation environmentally friendly lighting sector and display systems
[1]–[3]. Most white light-emitted diodes (LEDs) on the market today are made up of InGaN blue chips as
well as yellow phosphor Y3Al5O12:Ce3+
(abbreviated as YAG:Ce3+
). Nevertheless, this kind of white LED
has various drawbacks, including insignificant chroma rendition indicator (CRI), huge correlated
chromaticity temperature (CCT), as well as a shortage of a full range of visible light owing to the shortage of
green and red colors, making it unsuitable for use as an interior light source [4]–[6]. Other two ways are used
to handle these issues: employing a blend containing phosphors in red as well as green rather than a yellow
phosphor or using close-ultra violet LED (UV LED) chips alongside phosphors in red, green, as well as blue
[7], [8]. As a result, BSON:Eu2+
is important in increasing the luminous characteristic and quality of white
LEDs. Rare earth activated oxynitride/nitride based phosphors garnered significant interest for having
excellent performance, amazing chemical stability, and outstanding heat quenching property [9]–[11]. In the
literature, some silicon oxynitride/nitride green phosphors have been found. Strong green colors are emitted

by β-sialon:Eu2+
and MSi2O2N2:Eu2+
(M=Ca, Sr, Ba) [12]–[14]. It was shown that incorporating nitrogen into
host lattices triggered via Eu2+
or Ce3+
results in absorptivity as well as discharge under substantially bigger
wavelengths, surpassing the oxide hosts. Ferrero et al. [15] investigated the impact of nitridation via (SiN)+
substitution for (AlO)+
in MAl2O4 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba), as well as discovered that BaAl2O4 was a superior host
lattice for (SiN)+
inclusion owing to the huge ionic size of Ba2+
. Despite their benefits, these
oxynitride/nitride phosphors generated by the solid-state reaction (SSR) method at high temperatures
necessitate extensive soaking times and other crucial conditions [16]. Furthermore, the SSR oxynitride/nitride
phosphors exhibit inadequate chemical uniformity and poor particle shape. As a result, finding a novel
synthetic approach to address these limitations is critical. Since Arendt initially used the molten salt synthesis
(MSS) approach to manufacture BaFe12O19 and SrFe12O19 in 1973, it has been widely used for the synthesis
of electronic ceramic powders as well as several inorganic useful substances [17]–[19]. Molten salts play four
roles: i) increasing the rate of reaction and decreasing the temperature of the reaction, ii) increasing the
degree of uniformity (the distribution of constituent elements in the solid solution), iii) controlling particle
size and shape, and iv) controlling the agglomeration state [20]. As a result, as compared to the SSR
technique, the MSS technique would be among the easiest as well as cheapest ways that are employed to
procure crystalline, chemically pure, one-stage powders under inferior temperatures, mostly with an inferior
overall reacting period with minimum leftover contaminants [21]. Several scholars have successfully
obtained luminous substances utilizing this approach, including Gd2MO6:Eu3+
(M=W, Mo), Y2O3:Eu3+
, and
Lu2O3:Eu3+
[22]. Nevertheless, to the greatest of our understanding, no publication on molten salt synthesis
of oxynitride/nitride-based phosphors exists.
In this study, we synthesize BSON:Eu2+
oxynitride phosphors using the MSS approach in this study.
The effect of molten salt on the shape and luminous characteristics of green phosphors BSON:Eu2+
is
examined. This phosphor's heat and concentration quenching mechanisms are further described. The
phosphor application in WLED two-layered remote phosphor model is also presented. Its influences on
chromaticity and luminosity of the generated white light is investigated and discussed to demonstrate the
prospect in utilizing BSON:Eu2+
for high-power and modern WLED devices.
2. EXPERIMENTAL
2.1. Phosphor synthesizing
The following materials were utilized in the manufacture of BSON:Eu2+
oxynitride phosphors:
BaCO3 (A.R.), Eu2O3 (99.99%), Al2O3 (A.R.), Si3N4 (99.9%), and NaNO3 (A.R.). All raw ingredients were
used immediately without being purified. BaCO3, Eu2O3, and Al2O3 powders were completely ground and
calcined at 1450 °C within 3 hours under a standard MSS procedure. Posterior to chilling to ambient heat level,
appropriate amounts of α-Si3N4 and molten salt (NaNO3) were added to the powder, with the mass ratios of raw
materials and NaNO3 being 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, and 1:2.5, and the mixes were heated at 1,300 °C for 6 hours
under a N2/H2 (8:1) reductive atmosphere. We cooled the powders till they reach room temperature in a
furnace, then thoroughly washed with deionized water multiple times to remove the reactant residues and
molten salt, then dried using a drying oven under 80 °C for 5 hours. The SSR approach was used to generate
samples with the same compositions for comparison of luminescence characteristics and morphology [23].
2.2. Characterizing methods
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) method was used to examine the microstructures of the
as-prepared specimens. The products synthesized without utilizing NaNO3 exhibit a poor crystal shape, an
uneven size distribution, and many microscopic particles covering large particles. In contrast, the specimens
generated in NaNO3 medium may be considered monodispersed and nonaggregate. At the same time, the
particle size follows a regular distribution. This would be caused by the fluid stage in ionic salt creating an
absorption layer on the crystalline phase's surface, as well as throughout the melted salt’s reacting activity,
the ions of Na+
enter the created crystals, preventing assemblage. It should be observed that with the addition
of NaNO3, the morphology of the as-prepared phosphors changes from amorphous particles to regular
shapes, with a propensity to become sphere-like. The production of product particles is commonly recognized
in the standard MSS technique to be divided into two procedures, comprising the nucleation and the growth,
respectively [24].
2.3. Computational approach
For the task of generating illumination having decent performance as well as reasonable discharge
hue characteristics, merging certain effective phosphors would be necessary. A second key requirement in the
utility of phosphors is their excitability, or if their excitation spectra would be consistent with the pumping
LED’s discharge. Because of this, phosphors for fluorescent lights, even when thoroughly tuned, are often
ineffective for use inside LED devices. Said phosphors would be primarily subjected to excitation via

mercury's discharge bar at 254 nm. Furthermore, particle shape contributes to the variation in strength.
According to the matching SEM pictures, the specimen created by the SSR process has poor crystalline, a
broad particle-size distribution, and substantial numbers of microscopic fragments covering large particles,
resulting in some flaws in the particles that scatter or trap the released illumination [25]–[27].

xc indicates the critical concentration of Eu2+
within the host, Z indicates the cation amount for the unit cell
that were substituted by Eu2+
ion, and V indicates the unit cell’s volume. For the expression herein,
V=831.19 Å, Z=8, and xc=0.05 is the ideal doping concentration. As a result, the RC value is judged to be
15.84 Å. The nonradiative energy transfer process between Eu2+
ions is usually mediated by the exchange
interaction or multipolar interaction. Exchange contact, which happens with a substantial overlap between the
stimulation and emission spectrums, is commonly utilized to define prohibited transitions. Furthermore, the
critical distance for energy transfer is less than 4 Å. The 4f→5d transition of Eu2+
ions, on the other hand, is
permitted by transition rules, and the critical distance of the as-prepared specimen is substantially greater
than 4 Å. It is shown that exchange contact is not the primary energy transfer mechanism in this kind of
phosphor. As a result, the power shift among the ions of Eu2+
is primarily accomplished by electrical
multipolar contact.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Figure 1 displays a reverse shift for BSON:Eu2+
dosage as well as yellow YAG:Ce3+
. The changes
were recorded at three CCTs, including 3,000 K, 4,000 K, and 5,000 K, as presented in Figures 1(a) to 1(c),
respectively. Specifically, when the concentration of BSON:Eu2+
phosphor surges (5% to 10%wt.), the
YAG:Ce3+
dosage declines, regardless of CCTs. This reduction in yellow phosphor weight percentage is
essential to retain the average values of CCT. Moreover, it is reported that the change in amount of
integrating phosphors can influence the absorptivity and dispersion of emitted and light within the WLED
device. Thus, using BSON:Eu2+
as the second phosphor film for the two-layered remote phosphor module
can help modify the scattering and transmission of light to regulate the chroma outcome along with luminous
flux within WLEDs. For this reason, the BSON:Eu2+
concentration chosen determines the color quality of
WLEDs.

Figure 2 depicts the photoluminescence spectra in BSON:Eu2+
observed under 3,000 K, 4,000 K,
as well as 5,000 K in Figures 2(a) to 2(c). The specimens had a wide stimulation band ranging from UV to
blue, while the emission spectra had one wide bar (460 to 600 nm) having an intense green emitting peak
under 510 nm, which was assigned to the 4f65d1→4f7 shift in divalent europium. The emission spectra were
examined underneath the 295 nm stimulation to further confirm that Eu3+
is not present. Furthermore, the
forms and positions of the stimulation and emission spectra with varying molten salt content are nearly
identical. Nevertheless, the luminous strengths of the phosphors made without and with NaNO3 differ to
some amount. The luminescence intensities steadily grow and eventually fall as the molten salt content
increases. This is due to the fact that excessive and insufficient liquid phase environments are formed at high
and low molten salt content, respectively, resulting in an incomplete reaction that may generate impurity
phase. As a result, it suggests that the MSS approach has an ideal molten salt content. As the molten salt
content increases, the emission intensities increase because the optimal value is progressively approached,
and subsequently fall because the molten salt is too far away from the value. When the mass ratio of raw
ingredients and NaNO3 is 1:2, the specimen exhibits maximum intensities that are 17% and 13% greater than
those produced without NaNO3, under stimulation at 365 and 450 nm, respectively. The reason for this
behavior could be that the pure phase is simpler to obtain using NaNO3 than the specimen acquired utilizing
the SSR approach.

Figure 3 illustrates the influence of BSON:Eu2+
concentration upon the emitted light flux of this
dual-sheet remote phosphor layout in the WLED device observed under 3,000 K in Figure 3(a), 4,000 K in
Figure 3(b), and 5,000 K in Figure 3(c). The luminous flux emitted surges noticeably when the BSON:Eu2+
content is boosted from 5% to 10% by weight. This increase could be attributed to the stronger intensity of
wide spectral region of BSON:Eu2+
photoluminescence illustrated in Figure 2. The discharge spectra for
BSON:Eu2+
covers the two emission bands (460 to 480 nm, 500 to 600 nm) which are essential to generate
white illumination. The increase for the emission spectra indicates that the illuminating beam is augmented.
Furthermore, the WLED’s dispersion of blue illumination would be encouraged, implying that the phosphor
film’s, along with the WLED’s dispersion surged, favoring hue consistency.
The hue divergence was considerably reduced alongside said content under every median value of
CCT, demonstrated via Figure 4 which contains the data observed under 3,000 K in Figure 4(a), 4,000 K in
Figure 4(b) and 5,000 K in Figure 4(c). This phenomenon is the result of the absorption from the green
phosphor spheres. When BSON:Eu2+
phosphor takes in the blue illumination of the LED chip, BSON:Eu2+
granules transmute the illumination into green illumination. Though the yellow light is also absorbed by

BSON:Eu2+
particles but it is insignificant when compared to the blue-light one, due to the absorbing
qualities offered by the material. As a result of the addition of BSON:Eu2+
, the amount for green ray for the
WLED devices surges, augmenting the hue consistency index. Managing chroma consistency in the remote
sheet setting subject to significant heat level, particularly, may become problematic, but BSON:Eu2+
can be a
potential solution. Besides, hue uniformity is essential for a high-quality WLED lamp. Therefore, if the hue
consistency is enhanced, it would increase the price of WLED light. The advantage of employing BSON:Eu2+
is its inexpensive cost, making it possible to be commonly applied.

To have good color quality of white light, not only the color coordination but also the color
rendition is crucial. Hence, subsequent works provide CRI along with composite quality score (CQS) to

analyze the color rendering and reproducing ability of white-light sources. When CRI is subject to
illumination, it assesses authentic chromas in entities. Figure 5 shows a decrease in CRI with the increasing
concentration of BSON:Eu2+
phosphor under 3,000 K in Figure 5(a), 4,000 K in Figure 5(b), and 5,000 K in
Figure 5(c). Regardless, such decreases in CRI would be acceptable since it is merely one limitation of CQS.
Particularly, CQS would be more sufficient and efficient for gauging chroma outcomes in WLED, surpassing
CRI, because it covers CRI, and hue coordinate, along with beholder's choice. Figure 6 displays the CQS data
of WLEDs observing under CCTs of 3,000 K, 4,000 K, and 5,000 K shown via Figures 6(a) to 6(c). The CQS
increases alongside the presence of BSON:Eu2+
phosphor. Additionally, when the BSON:Eu2+
concentration
is raised, CQS does not alter considerably with BSON:Eu2+
concentrations just under 10% wt. When the
BSON:Eu2+ content exceeds 10% wt., CRI, as well as CQS, would noticeably shrink, resulting from
substantial chroma penalty under green dominance. In particular, the chroma imbalance would be generated
through immoderate green light that probably overshades the blue and yellow ones, consequently decreasing
WLED color fidelity. Hence, prior to taking advantage of BSON:Eu2+
, determining the necessary dosage
would be very important.

4. CONCLUSION
Finally, green phosphors BaAl1.4Si0.6O3.4N0.6:Eu2+
were effectively synthesized utilizing the MSS
approach and the reaction medium NaNO3. When compared to the SSR-prepared specimen, the emission
strengths are raised by 17% and 13%, respectively, under 365 and 450 nm illumination. Because of the usage
of molten salt, particles with a homogeneous sphere-like shape, higher crystallization, and improved
dispersibility are generated. Because of the energy transfer between Eu2+
ions, concentration quenching
occurs when the activator doping content is up to 5 mol%. The essential energy transfer distance is calculated
to be 15.84 Å, implying that dipole-dipole interactivity would be the key cause of dosage abatement.
Furthermore, the T50 thermal quenching temperature may be calculated to be around 200 °C, indicating that
this phosphor has a low thermal quenching characteristic. Given the abundance of molten salts, we have
reason to assume that an extremely effective molten salt system for a given phosphor can be developed. This
suggests that there is still room to improve the shape and luminescence strength of other oxynitride phosphors
while also providing an economical and realistic way to address the drawbacks of traditional SSR methods.
