Support Vector Machine-based Flower Image Classification for Commercial Applications
Abstract: Flowers are crucial raw materials in many industries, including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Classifying flowers manually is time-consuming, inconsistent, and requires professional judgment from a botanist. Computer-aided flower classification is a promising approach to this problem. Image classification often employs support vector machines (SVMs) as widely favored algorithms. This study evaluated the performance of SVMs for flower image classification. The results showed that SVMs can achieve good accuracy on this task, …

Sustainable Cementitious Composites withEpoxy–Alccofine Synergy
Abstract: This research examines the combined influence of epoxy resin and Alccofine when used as partial substitutes for cement in producing sustainable, high-performance concrete. The study aims to improve both strength and durability properties while simultaneously reducing cement usage and its environmental impact. Concrete mixes were prepared with epoxy resin contents of 0%, 5%, and 10% by weight of cement, along with Alccofine replacement levels of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The …

Study on Properties of Concrete Cured With Poly Ethylene Glycol-600
Abstract: After water, concrete is the most using material globally. Without concrete, the world is unimaginable. The foundation of civilization is concrete. Coarse aggregate, cement ,fine aggregate and water are the main ingredients in concrete, which requires curing to attain its strength. Concrete must therefore cure for 28 days in order to complete the necessary hydration, desired strength. For the traditional curing processes, a lot of water is needed. This becomes …

Recent Advances in Aquasomes Carrier Nanotechnology for Drug Delivery
Abstract: Aquasomes are a nanobiopharmaceutical carrier device with nanocrystalline calcium phosphate or ceramic diamond particle center and a polyhydroxyl oligomeric film covering them. Aquasomes are spherical 60–300 nm objects that are used to deliver drugs and antigens. It was an effective carrier mechanism for bioactive molecules such as peptides, proteins, hormones, antigens, and genes to particular locations because of properties such as defense and preservation of fragile biological molecules, conformational integrity, …

Density-Based Separation and Polymer Type Verification of Mixed Post-ConsumerThermoplastic Streams: A Sequential Separation and Contamination Reduction Protocol for Secondary Polymer Supply Chains
Abstract: The separation of mixed post-consumer thermoplastic waste streams into polymer-type-specific fractions suitable for industrial reintegration is a fundamental chemical separation challenge in secondary polymer supply chains. Density-based separation, exploiting the characteristic density ranges of common thermoplastic polymers, remains the dominant first-stage separation technique in commercial recycling operations due to its low cost, scalability, and applicability across mixed waste stream compositions. This paper presents a sequential separation and contamination reduction protocol …

Classification of Electrical Conduits and Fittings in a Construction Project
Abstract: Building wiring is the electrical wiring and related devices such as meters, switches and light fittings used in buildings or other structures. Electrical wiring uses insulated conductors. Wires and cables are rated by the circuit voltage, temperature and environmental conditions (moisture, sunlight, oil, chemicals) in which they can be used, and their maximum current. Wiring safety codes vary by country and the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) is attempting to standardize …
