Effect of TiO2 on HER Activity of Electrodeposited Zn–Ni Coatings
Abstract: This paper demonstrates the improved electrocatalytic behavior of Zn–Ni alloy coatings for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), due to addition of TiO2 nanoparticles into the bath. Zn–Ni alloy coatings have been electrodeposited galvanostatically on copper, with wide compositional range (2.31–7.91 wt. % of Zn) at different current densities (c.d.) between 2.0 and 5.0 A dm-2. The electrocatalytic behaviors of all coatings have been studied for alkaline HER in 1.0 M …

A Hybrid BPS-DCT Based Digital Image Watermarking Technique
Abstract: In this paper a hybrid algorithm using Bit Plane Slicing (BPS) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for digital image watermarking is proposed. There are two main requirements for digital image watermarking: imperceptibility and robustness. Imperceptibility is measured by Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and robustness is obtained by correlation between original and extracted watermark image. In this algorithm an image and watermark is first sliced into its bit planes using …

Impact of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on NOx Emissions and Efficiency in Diesel Engines
Abstract: Abstract Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has emerged as a pivotal strategy to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines, which significantly contribute to air pollution and environmental degradation. NOx emissions pose serious concerns due to their role in forming smog, acid rain, and adverse health impacts. By recirculating a portion of the exhaust back into the intake manifold, EGR reduces these emissions by restricting the manufacturing of NOx and …
