The conclusion recommends an integrated solid waste management approach with public-private partnerships to address these challenges.
The document discusses doubling synthetic biofuel production through the addition of hydrogen from renewable energy. Currently, over half of biomass carbon is not utilized to make fuel due to hydrogen constraints. However, adding hydrogen from an external renewable source, such as electrolysis powered by wind or solar energy, could hydrogenate the surplus carbon into additional fuel. This could increase fuel output from biomass by 2.6 times, utilizing 79% of the biomass carbon rather than the current 31%. The approach has the potential to significantly increase sustainable fuel production to help decarbonize transportation.

Preliminary study on the conversion of different waste plastics into fuel oilAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on converting different waste plastics into fuel oil through thermal cracking. Experiments were conducted to crack polypropylene, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, and polystyrene plastics at different temperatures. The amount of oil produced increased with temperature until reaching a maximum, while the solid residue decreased. Low density polyethylene produced the most oil at 250°C, yielding 44.9% residue and 53% gaseous products. High density polyethylene and polystyrene also showed increasing oil yields with temperature until reaching a plateau. Thermal cracking was performed as it converts waste plastics into usable resources with minimal hazardous gas emissions.

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
The CBC machine is a common diagnostic tool used by doctors to measure a patient's red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count. The machine uses a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then placed into special tubes and analyzed. The results of the analysis are then displayed on a screen for the doctor to review. The CBC machine is an important tool for diagnosing various conditions, such as anemia, infection and leukemia. It can also help to monitor a patient's response to treatment.
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 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.

Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.
2. Waste to Energy
via Syngas (synthetic gas) production
and Fischer –Tropsch biodiesel
Ben Osher
How much diesel can be produced from solid waste in Israel ?
3. Why Use Waste?
• As the amount of fossil fuels available
decreases and the cost of petroleum-
based fuels increases, there is a need for
alternative fuel sources.
• A promising process for green-fuel and
electricity production involves the
formation of SYNGAS which can be
converted to useful fuel and other
organic materials.
4. What is syngas?
the main compounds in syngas are:
* Carbon monoxide : CO
* Hydrogen: H2
Other by-products:
* Carbon dioxide: CO2
* Methane: CH4
Abbreviation of “synthetic gas”.
It can be the end product of thermally processed biomass
7. • How much waste is there to be treated?
• What type of waste is to be treated?
For example does it contain just MSW or does it
include commercial waste, sewage sludge , tyres
etc.?
• What are the characteristics of the waste in terms
of chemical composition, caloric value, particle size,
moisture etc.?
Dealing with waste - Questions to be asked:
8. Municipal Solid Waste
MSW
BIOGENIC NON-BIOGENIC
such as food waste
and yard clippings
such as plastics and metals
http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=8010
9. With time the biogenic portion of municipal solid waste decreases;
Because non-biogenic waste has a higher heat content than biogenic material
the average heat content of MSW (per unit mass) as a whole is increasing,
making it a more efficient fuel for producing electricity .

10. Israel: waste facts
• 4.9 million ton of MSW is produced each year.
• Average waste/person/day 1.9 (3-5% growth)
• ~20% of MSW is recycled => ~ 1.5 kg/day/person to landfills
• Total fuel consumption for private transportation is
