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.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

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

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.

You may have noticed that some patterns emerged in the shear and bending moment diagrams during the last Activity (3.2.3). In fact, two beams that are loaded in a similar way will have shear and bending moment diagrams that exhibit the same shape, even though the beam span length and load magnitude are different.
For instance, both of these beams are simply supported and loaded with a uniformly distributed load along the entire span of the beam. The left beam is 20 feet long and is loaded with a 1000 lb/ft uniform load. The right beam carries a 1200 lb/ft load and is 35 feet long.
Notice that the shape of the shear diagrams are the same for the two beams. The shape of the bending moment diagrams are also the same for the two beams. In fact, every simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load will exhibit the same shape of shear and moment diagrams.
Although the diagram shapes are the same, the magnitude of the shear and bending moments differ. This is because the beam spans and the magnitude of the applied loads are different.
Remember from your earlier beam analysis that you used the equations of equilibrium to calculate the end reaction forces. The calculations always followed the same procedure for every beam. The only difference in calculations for two similarly loaded beams is the magnitude of the load and the span length of the beam. We can find a formula to represent the magnitude of the reaction forces that is true for every simply supported beam with a uniform load. The formula will use variables to represent the span length and the magnitude of the applied load since these will change from beam to beam.
Because the shear and bending moment diagrams are dependent on the reaction forces and the length of the beam, we can also derive a formula to provide the maximum bending moment experienced by a beam. Again, the span length and magnitude of the applied load will be variable. If all simply supported beams that carry a uniform load exhibit similar shear and bending moment diagrams, it stands to reason that we should be able to find mathematical formulas to represent the shear and moment magnitudes. The beam span length and the magnitude of the load will be variables because they will change.
Find the beam formulas for a simply supported beam with a uniform load across the entire span.
First, we will find formulas for the end reactions. One or both of the end reactions will typically be equal to the maximum shear.
Then we can use the algebraic representations for the end reactions to find the formula for the maximum moment.
Find formulas for the end reactions of a uniformly distributed load on a simple beam. Remember, we can neglect the horizontal reaction force at the pinned connection (A) since there are no horizontally applied loads.
Use the equations of equilibrium. First sum the moments about a point. One of the end points will be most efficient, but it doesn’t matter which point. Let’s choose point A.
The reaction force at point A for a simple supported beam with a uniform load will always be wL/2.
Next sum the vertical forces.
Both RA and RB are equal to wL/2.
In fact, whenever the beam loading is symmetrical, the end reaction forces will be equal.
NOTE: Click the mouse to display the shaded area and Mmax = shaded area. Then click again to show each line of the derivation.
Because RA is wL/2, the magnitude of the shear at point A will be wL/2 as well. The shear will decrease at a rate equal to the magnitude of the applied uniform load (w) resulting in the shear diagram shown. The point of zero shear is at mid-span. In fact, the point of zero shear will be at mid span for all symmetrically loaded beams.
To find the maximum moment, (click the mouse) find the area of the shear diagram to the left of the point of zero shear (mid-span) which is shaded in the diagram.
The area of a triangle is A = .5 b h (Click the mouse).
Therefore, the maximum moment for every simple beam loaded with a uniform load is wL^2/8 (Click the mouse).
The resulting formulas are often presented in tables with a beam diagram showing the loading condition.
A similar but more complicated derivation can be performed for the deflection of a beam. The deflection formula for a simple beam with a uniformly distributed load along the entire beam is also shown. We will look at deflection more closely later in the lesson.
Use the equations of equilibrium to find the end reactions for the beam.
NOTE: Let students attempt to find the formula for the end reactions before clicking the mouse to display the derivation.
Summation of moments results in RA = P/2
Summation of vertical forces results in RB = P/2
Note: Let students attempt to find the Mmax before clicking the mouse to display the derivation.
The shear diagram will show the magnitude of RA at the left (P/2) which will remain unchanged until mid-span where the concentrated load is applied. The concentrated load causes a vertical drop of P at mid span. Therefore, the right half of the beam must carry a shear of –P/2.
The moment diagram will display two linear segments with slopes equal to the shear values.
The maximum moment can be calculated by finding the area under the shear diagram to the left of the point of zero shear (which is shaded).
