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.

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.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
2. Grinding
The grinding process consists of removing material from the workpiece by the
use of a rotating wheel that has a surface composed of abrasive grains. Grinding
is considered to be the most accurate of the existing machining processes.
Grinding processes are used when high accuracies, close dimensional tolerances,
and a fine surface finishes are required. Grinding processes also allow for high
production rates. This allows for a lowered cost of production. Hard materials can
also be machined.
Grinding may be classified as non-precision or precision, according to purpose
and procedure.
Non-precision grinding: The common forms are called, snagging and off-
hand grinding. Both are done primarily to remove stock that can not be taken
off as conveniently by other methods. The work is pressed hard against the
wheel or vice versa. The accuracy and surface finish are of secondary
importance.
Precision grinding: Precision grinding is concerned with producing good
surface finishes and accurate dimensions. Three types of precision grinding
exists
External cylindrical grinding
Internal cylindrical grinding
Surface grinding
3. Grinding Operations
Surface grinding is most common of the grinding operations. A
rotating wheel is used in the grinding of flat surfaces. Types of surface
grinding are vertical spindle and rotary tables.
Figure: Schematic illustration of surface-grinding operations. (a) Traverse grinding with a
horizontal-spindle surface grinder. (b) Plunge grinding with a horizontal-spindle surface
grinder, producing a groove in the workpiece. (c) Vertical-spindle rotary-table grinder
(also known as the Blanchard-type grinder).
4. Cylindrical grinding is also called center-type grinding and is used in
the removing the cylindrical surfaces and shoulders of the workpiece.
Both the tool and the workpiece are rotated by separate motors and at
different speeds. The axes of rotation tool can be adjusted to produce a
variety of shapes.

of various cylindrical
grinding operations.

5. Internal grinding is used to grind the inside diameter of the
workpiece. Tapered holes can be ground with the use of internal
grinders that can swivel on the horizontal.
Figure: Schematic illustrations of internal-grinding operations.
6. Centerless grinding is when the workpiece is supported by a blade
instead of by centers or chucks. Two wheels are used. The larger one is
used to grind the surface of the workpiece and the smaller wheel is used
to regulate the axial movement of the workpiece. Types of centerless
grinding include through-feed grinding, in-feed/plunge grinding, and
internal centerless grinding.
Figure: Schematic illustration of centerless-grinding operations.
7. Creep-feed grinding is used for high rates of material removal.
Depths of cut of up to 6 mm are used along with low workpiece speed.
Surfaces with a softer-grade resin bond are used to keep workpiece
temperature low and an improved surface finish.

(b) A shaped groove produced on a flat surface in one pass by creep-feed grinding. Groove depth can be
on the order of a few mm. (c) An example of creep-feed grinding with a shaped wheel.
9. Common Grinding Wheels
A grinding wheel is made of abrasive
grains held together by a bond.
These grains cut like teeth when the
wheel is revolved at high speed and
is brought to bear against a work
piece. The properties of a wheel that
determine how it acts are the kind
and size of abrasive, how closely the
grains are packed together and
amount of the bonding material.

conventional abrasives

Grit or grain size is denoted by number indicating the number of meshes
per linear inch (25.4 mm)of the screen through which the grains pass
when they are graded after crushing and they are the size of cutting

an individual abrasive grain. The mechanics of grinding and the
variables involved can be studied by analyzing the surface grinding

16. ABRASIVE MATERIALS
The abrasive grains are the cutting took of a grinding wheel.They actually cut
small pieces or chips off the work as the wheel rotates. The shape of each grain
is irregular with several sharp cutting edges. When these edges grow dull, the
forces acting on the wheel tend to fracture the abrasive grains and produce new
cutting edges.
ABRASIVES
Most grinding wheels are made of silicon carbide or aluminum oxide, both of
which are artificial (manufactured) abrasives. Silicon carbide is extremely hard
but brittle. Aluminum oxide is slightly softer but is tougher than silicon carbide. It
dulls more quickly, but it does not fracture easily therefore it is better suited for
grinding materials of relatively high tensile strength.
17. ABRASIVE GRAIN SIZE
Abrasive grains are selected according to the mesh of a sieve through which
they are sorted. For example, grain number 40 indicates that the abrasive grain
passes through a sieve having approximately 40 meshes to the linear inch. A
grinding wheel is designated coarse, medium, or fine according to the size of
the individual abrasive grains making up the wheel.
BONDING MATERIAL
Bond
The abrasive particles in a grinding wheel are held in place by the bonding agent. The
percentage of bond in the wheel determines, to a great extent, the “hardness” or “grade” of
the wheel. The greater the percentage and strength of the bond, the harder the grinding
wheel will be. “Hard” wheels retain the cutting grains longer, while “soft” wheels release
the grains quickly. If a grinding wheel is “too hard” for the job, it will glaze because the
bond prevents dulled abrasive particles from being released so new grains can be exposed
for cutting. Besides controlling hardness and holding the abrasive, the bond also provides
the proper safety factor at running speed. It holds the wheel together while centrifugal force
is trying to tear it apart. The most common bonds used in grinding wheels are vitrified,
silicate, shellac, resinoid, and rubber.
18. Vitrified
A clay-like abrasive bond that is generally hard and brittle. A vast majority of grinding wheels
have a vitrified bond.Vitrified bonded wheels are unaffected by heat or cold and are made in a
greater range of hardness than any other bond. They adapt to practically all types of grinding
with one notable exception: if the wheel is not thick enough, it does not withstand side pressure
as in the case of thin cutoff wheels.
Silicate
Silicate bond releases the abrasive grains more readily than vitrified bond. Silicate bonded
wheels are well suited for grinding where heat must be kept to a minimum, such as grinding
edged cutting tools. It is not suited for heavy-duty grinding. Thin cutoff wheels are sometimes
made with a shellac bond because it provides fast cool cutting.
Resinoid
An organic bond made of synthetic resin. Resinoid bond is strong and flexible. It is widely used
in snagging wheels (for grinding irregularities from rough castings), which operate at 9,500
SFPM. It is also used in cutoff wheels.
Rubber
An organic bond made of natural or synthetic rubber. In rubber-bonded wheels, pure rubber is
mixed with sulfur.It is extremely flexible at operating speeds and permits the manufacture of
grinding wheels as thin as 0.006 inch for slitting nibs. Most abrasive cutoff machine wheels
have a rubber bond.

24. GRADES OF HARDNESS
The grade of a grinding wheel designates the hardness of the bonded material. Listed below are
examples of those grades:
A soft wheel is one on which the cutting particles break away rapidly while a hard wheel is one
on which the bond successfully opposes this breaking away of the abrasive grain.
Most wheels are graded according to hardness by a letter system. Most manufacturers of
grinding abrasive wheels use a letter code ranging from A (very soft) to Z (very hard). Vitrified
and silicate bonds usually range from very soft to very hard, shellac and resinoid bonds usually
range from very soft to hard, and rubber bonds are limited to the medium to hard range.
The grade of hardness should be selected as carefully.There are three grinding abrasive the
grain size. A grinding abrasive wheel that is too soft wheels with different spacing of grains. If
the grain and bond will wear away too rapidly, the abrasive grain will be materials in each of
these are alike in size and hardness, the discarded from the wheel before its useful life is wheel
with the wider spacing will be softer than the wheel realized. On the other hand, if the wheel is
too hard for with the closer grain spacing. Thus, the actual hardness of the job, the abrasive
particles will become dull because the grinding wheel is equally dependent on grade of
hardness the bond will not release the abrasive grain, and the and spacing of the grains or
structure. wheel’s efficiency will be impaired.
