The balanced cantilever method is used to construct bridges with spans between 50-250m. It involves erecting segments on each side of the pier in a balanced sequence to minimize load imbalance and bending in the piers. This method is advantageous for long spans, marine environments, and where access under the deck is difficult. The cantilever lengths are typically 0.20-0.30 of the main span. Segment construction proceeds until the midspan point is reached, where the balanced pair is closed. The key advantages are single-sided support during construction and uniform construction. However, it is also very expensive and complicated to construct.

Benchmarking involves comparing a company's business processes and performance metrics to best practices from other industries. It helps organizations understand their strengths and weaknesses, satisfy customer needs, motivate employees, and improve competitive advantage. There are different types of benchmarking such as process, financial, performance, product, and strategic benchmarking. Benchmarking has advantages like product and process improvement, reduced time and costs, and competitive strategy development. However, benchmarking also has disadvantages if the wrong comparisons are made or if organizations are reluctant to share information.

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.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
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.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
2. •An increasing number of building projects across several markets are using modular construction,
the process by which components of building are prefabricated off-site in a controlled setting and
then shipped to the project site and assembled.
•According to research conducted by McGraw-Hill construction, when implemented effectively this
approach has been shown to result in a higher quality building, delivered in a shorter time frame,
with more predicated costs and fewer environmental impacts for example, through reduced
material use and waste.
INTRODUCTION:-
3. •Modular construction is a pre-engineered process of
making any structures or elements in a factory that is
off-site and are delivered to the sites and assembled as
large volumetric components or as substantial elements
of any structures.
•Buildings are produced in “modules” that when put
together on site, reflect the identical design intent and
specifications of the most sophisticated site-built facility
without compromise.
