Authors: Ahmed Ashar , Islam Md. Kamrul , Sadullah Ahmad Farhan Mohd , Gazder Uneb
Published: April 2024

This paper investigates the nuanced exploration of access point density's influence on accident frequency, specifically focusing on primary roads in Malaysia. The analysis is multifaceted, considering geographic variations, land use patterns, and the density of access points per km. This investigation scrutinizes the direct relationship between the number of access points per km and the corresponding accident frequency. A critical threshold value for access point density is identified, revealing its consequential impact on average accident frequency. The observed direct proportionality between access point density and accident frequency is a pivotal discovery. Moreover, the role of land use parameters emerges as a key determinant in understanding how accident frequency varies with access point density, particularly on specific road types. This establishes eight access points per km as a potential threshold value for ensuring optimal access point density within a road network. In summary, this study provides insights into the intricate dynamics of access point density and its consequential impact on road safety. The identified threshold value and the recognition of the role of land use contribute valuable perspectives for informed decision-making in road network planning and management.
Hydraulic Jump Characteristics Downstream of a Compound Weir consisting of Two Rectangles with a below Semicircular Gate
Authors: Alsaydalani Majed
Published: April 2024

Weirs are often used in laboratories, industries, and irrigation channels to measure discharge. The discharge capacity of a structure is vital for its safety and plays an important role in the combined gate-weir flow, which is a complicated phenomenon in hydropower. This study carried out experiments on a combined hydraulic structure, which included a compound sharp-crested weir made up of two rectangles along with an inverted semicircular sharp gate. Installed on a straight channel, this structure served as a control instrument. The study aimed to investigate the downstream hydraulic jump characteristics of this combined structure, specifically, the sequent depth ratio (y2/y1), the hydraulic jump height ratio (Hj/y1), the energy loss ratio through the jump (EL/Eu), and the jump length ratio (Lj/y1). The width of the upper rectangle on the weir was set at 20 cm. The width of the lower rectangle (W2) was set at 5, 7, and 9 cm, while its depths (z) were fixed at 6, 9, and 11 cm. The gate's diameters varied between 8, 12, and 15 cm. These measurements were alternated with varying initial Froude numbers (Fn1) ranging between 1.32 and 1.5. The results showed that the dimensions of both the weir and the gate influenced the hydraulic jump characteristics. Empirical formulas were developed to predict y2/y1, Hj/y1, EL/Eu, and Lj/y1 based on the differing dimensions of the combined structure. The findings and analysis of this study are limited to the range of data that were tested.

Authors: Jalhoom Rana Jabbar Kasid , Mahjoob Ahmed Mohammed Raoof
Published: April 2024

There is a need for more research into prioritizing project risks based on a sound technique due to the complicated and disorganized character of this stage. The project risk management process typically begins with the identification of critical hazards. This study presents a Grey Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (FGDEMATEL) approach to prioritize potential causes of project risks within Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM). This framework organizes the numerous risks using the Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) of the Project Management Institute (PMI). The risk information used in this analysis comes mostly from the views and choices of project experts. Grey theory, which takes language phrases for preference collections and translates them into numerical intervals, is responsible for controlling uncertainty and variance in experts' preferences. As each expert has unique skills and experiences, it evaluates the significance of their opinions using a fuzzy number system that incorporates three dimensions. In the end, the FGDEMATEL approach devised a method to rank various project risks.
Smart Grid 2.0: Modeling Peer-to-Peer Trading Community and Incentives for Prosumers in the Transactive Energy Grid
Authors: Khayyat Manal Mahmoud , Ben Slama Sami
Published: April 2024

Smart Grid 2.0 (SG 2.0) implementation constitutes an additional challenge in the industry and research fields. Energy consumption decreases when producers exchange excess energy consumers, including intelligent consumers, Distributed Generation (DG), such as wind and solar, and Electric Vehicles (EVs). By utilizing Demand Response (DR) based on Real-Time Pricing (RTP), the operation of every device in a smart home can be scheduled. Allowing users to trade energy directly with other energy producers (prosumers) rather than exclusively relying on the grid, peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading in smart homes lowers energy prices for users. This article focuses on how the DR P2P energy trading affects consumers. The study conducted utilizes a two-stage scheduling technique to reduce consumers' electricity expenses. The initial stage involves arranging each device in the smart home based on RTP employing a deep learning method. The P2P energy trading between consumers in the second phase is made more accessible by the DR and the simulation results exhibit that energy trading decreases electricity bills in smart homes. Utility companies can reduce load during peak hours using DR-based P2P energy trading.

Authors: Ramadan Rabie A. , Boubaker Sahbi
Published: April 2024

Water scarcity is considered a major problem in dry regions, such as the northern areas of Saudi Arabia and especially the city of Hail. Water resources in this region come mainly from groundwater aquifers, which are currently suffering from high demand and severe climatic conditions. Forecasting water consumption as accurately as possible may contribute to a high level of sustainability of water resources. This study investigated different Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Linear Regression (LR), and Gradient Boosting (GB), to efficiently predict water consumption in such areas. These models were evaluated using a set of performance measures, including Mean Squared Error (MSE), R-squared (R2), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Explained Variance Score (EVS), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Median Absolute Error (MedAE). Two datasets, water consumption and weather data, were collected from different sources to examine the performance of the ML algorithms. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of both weather and water consumption data. After examining the most effective features, the two datasets were merged and the proposed algorithms were applied. The RF algorithm outperformed the other models, indicating its robustness in capturing water usage behavior in dry areas such as Hail City. The results of this study can be used by local authorities in decision-making, water consumption analysis, new project construction, and consumer behavior regarding water usage habits in the region.

Published: April 2024

Wind speed datasets are used to evaluate wind resources and energy production of wind farms. In locations where measured data are not available, reanalysis and analysis datasets can be used as an alternative to assess wind resources. This study evaluated the accuracy of wind speed data collected from reanalysis and analysis datasets against mast-measured data between 1975 and 1985 in Sudan, using monthly statistical analyses. Three bias correction methods, based on Measure-Correlate-Predict (MCP) and Linear Adaptation (LA1 and LA2), were applied to determine the original wind speed. The results indicate that LA1 outperformed MCP and LA2. Furthermore, the Weibull distribution function was employed to analyze the wind speed characteristics. In addition, wind power density was calculated using data from different sources. The findings show that although the wind power potential of the chosen locations is not suitable for large wind turbines, wind power can still be exploited with small wind turbines. Consequently, this study introduces a wind energy roadmap to attract investors in clean energy for sustainable development in Sudan, address energy problems, and meet domestic demands. The study also identifies the most important grid datasets for assessing the country's wind potential, enhancing the accuracy of assessments for investors and policymakers.

Published: April 2024

This paper presents a novel approach for fast FPGA prototyping of the Canny edge detection algorithm using High-Level Synthesis (HLS) based on the HDL Coder. Traditional RTL-based design methodologies for implementing image processing algorithms on FPGAs can be time-consuming and error-prone. HLS offers a higher level of abstraction, enabling designers to focus on algorithmic functionality while the tool automatically generates efficient hardware descriptions. This advantage was exploited by implementing the Canny edge detection algorithm in MATLAB/Simulink and utilizing the HDL Coder to automatically convert it into synthesizable VHDL code. This design flow significantly reduces development time and complexity compared to the traditional RTL approach. The experimental results showed that the HLS-based Canny edge detector achieved real-time performance on a Xilinx FPGA platform, showcasing the effectiveness of the proposed approach for fast FPGA prototyping in image processing applications.

Authors: Albugmi Ahmed
Published: April 2024

Database systems play a significant role in structuring, organizing, and managing data of organizations. In this regard, the key challenge is how to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of database systems against attacks launched from within and outside an organization. To resolve this challenge, different database security techniques and mechanisms, which generally involve access control, database monitoring, data encryption, database backups, and strong passwords have been proposed. These techniques and mechanisms have been developed for certain purposes but fall short of many industrial expectations. This study used the design science research method to recommend a new Digital Forensic Readiness Framework, named DFRF, to secure database systems. DFRF involves risk assessments, data classification, database firewalls, data encryption, strong password policies, database monitoring and logging, data backups and recovery, incident response plans, forensic readiness, as well as education and awareness. The proposed framework not only identifies threats and responds to them more effectively than existing models, but also helps organizations stay fully compliant with regulatory requirements and improve their security. The design of the suggested framework was compared with existing models, confirming its superiority.

Досліджено науково-теоретичні засади щодо формування спроможності системи публічного управління з позиції простору (обширу) її функціонування, що охоплює соціальні, економічні, політичні, інформаційні, ресурсні та інші аспекти. Наполягається, що його підґрунтя становлять соціальні, правові та інші інститути, на які мають зважати публічні інституції (органи публічної влади). У цьому контексті акцентовано на важливості забезпечення результативної й ефективної діяльності зазначених інституцій. Виявлено, що має місце різний переклад понять «інституційний» та «інституціональний» (з англійської мови на українську). Це унеможливлює надання єдиного визначення терміноконструкцій «інституційна спроможність» чи «інституціональна спроможність». Аргументовано, що під час характеристики обох терміноконструкцій, по-перше, слід ураховувати різне сутнісне наповнення понять «інститут» та «інституція». А по-друге, розглядати їх з позиції взаємного впливу, оскільки термін «інститут» стосується насамперед виникнення, розвитку та припинення соціальних, правових та інших інститутів. Визначаючи зміст поняття «інституція», варто розглядати особливості діяльності державного та недержавного сектору, що у свою чергу забезпечують легітимацію вищевказаних правових інститутів. Проаналізовано особливості сучасного функціонування системи публічного управління системи публічного управління в Україні, а також окреслено перспективи інституційного розвитку такої системи крізь призму її спроможності реагувати на зовнішні та внутрішні детермінанти. На цій підставі визнано важливість формування системи безпеки в межах відповідного інституціонального середовища. Обґрунтовано, що він включає два блоки елементів. Перший блок елементів – інституційний, охоплює правові норми, які утворюють систему законодавства щодо сталого розвитку та безпеки. Щодо другого блоку елементів – інституціонального, то він становить підсистему керівної системи, до організаційної структури якої зараховано органи публічної влади. Ураховуючи положення теорії інституціоналізму рекомендовано практично закріпити засади інституціоналізації системи публічного управління України, що можливо, зокрема, у межах концепції «проактивного» функціонування такої системи.

Визначено вплив та сутність кожного з шести трендів на розвиток фреймворку «креативне місто», який вбачається автором як основа для порівняння та відновлення міст у процесі відбудови та відновлення у повоєнний період в Україні. Підкреслено, що розуміння креативного міста як фреймворку впливає на формування, розвиток і взаємодію політик розвитку міста та окремо політик, пов’язаних із розвитком культури і інших складових креативної економіки. Запропонований підхід щодо погляду на фреймворк «креативне місто» як елемент публічної політики. Представлено розроблену автором модель фреймворку «креативне місто» у «період переходу» на основі розширення існуючої концепції з урахуванням основних трендів розвитку. Удосконалена схема фреймворку «креативне місто» у «період переходу» може розглядатися як основа для подальшого формування комплексу методико-технологічного забезпечення процесів розвитку креативних індустрій на регіональному та локальному рівнях. Зроблено висновок, що «фреймворк «креативне місто» є корисним методичним інструментом, який може удосконалюватися та дістати подальший розвиток у подальших дослідженнях через розширення або звуження за чисельністю чи змістовною сутністю інституцій, що входять до нього, реагуючи на поточні виклики чи потреби території.

Tissue-specific endothelial cells have vital roles in maintenance and functioning of native tissues with constant reciprocal crosstalk with resident cells. Three-dimensional (3D) physio-mimetic in vitro models which incorporate lung-specific microvasculature are needed to model lung-related diseases which involve modulation of endothelial cell behavior like cancer. In this study, we investigated the growth kinetics, morphological changes and responses to biological cues of lung microvasculature on two-dimensional (2D) and in lung matrix-derived 3D hydrogels. HUVEC and HULEC-5a cells were cultured on 2D and compared for their growth, morphologies, and responses to varying growth medium formulations. Brightfield and immunofluorescence imaging was performed to assess differences in morphology. For 3D cultures, native bovine lungs were decellularized, lyophilized, solubilized, and reconstituted into hydrogel form in which endothelial cells were embedded. Cell growth and organotypic branching was monitored in 3D hydrogels in the presence of varying biological cues including lung cancer cell secretome. HUVEC and HULEC-5a cells demonstrated comparable growth and morphology on 2D. However, in 3D lung-derived ECM hydrogels, tissue-specific HULEC-5a cells exhibited much better adaptation to their microenvironment, characterized by enhanced organotypic branching and longer branches. HULEC-5a growth was responsive to lung cancer cell-conditioned medium in both 2D and 3D conditions. In 3D, the concentration of ECM ligand significantly affected cell growth in long-term culture where molecular crowding had an inhibitory role. Our data reveals that HULEC-5a cells offer a reliable alternative to frequently pursued HUVECs with comparable growth and morphology. Due to their intrinsic program for cellular crosstalk with resident cells, the use of tissue-specific endothelium constitutes a vital aspect for modeling physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, our study is the first demonstration of the synergy between lung-specific microvasculature with lung-specific ECM within a 3D in vitro model.
The most relevant drought-tolerant indices for selecting barley drought-tolerant genotypes
Authors: Ben Naceur Mbarek , Cheikh-mhamed Hatem
Published: April 2024

During its development cycle, lack of water is one of the factors reducing plant growth and yields, in the world's arid regions. The identification of indices that characterize the most tolerant genotypes to drought is very useful since it allows us to evaluate the tolerance of large varieties collections within a short and early stage. This study aimed to identify the most efficient drought tolerance indicators and evaluate, from the early stage of plant development, the germination parameters that would be correlated with drought tolerance in the field. If such correlations were identified, it would be possible to screen dozens of genotypes in the laboratory and identify the most tolerant ones before moving into the field. To attain this objective, two tests were carried out: The first one was realized in the laboratory to assess some germination parameters (germination rate, root length, root number, etc.) of sixteen North African barley genotypes (Algerians, Tunisians, and Egyptians) at the germination stage, under polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) induced stress. The second test was carried out in the field to measure the grain yield of the same genotypes, under favorable and limited water conditions. The laboratory test revealed significant differences between root lengths (RL) of different genotypes within each water regime and between different treatments (control and PEG-6000 solution). The obtained result showed the superiority of most Egyptian genotypes, especially under stress conditions induced by PEG-6000. The field trial also showed significant differences in grain yields under both water regimes (stressful and non-stressful regimes) and pointed to the high performance of the majority of Egyptian genotypes. The calculated indices [(STI), (SSI), (YSI), and (TOL)] showed variable correlations depending on the index used and concluded that STI and YSI are the best indicators of drought tolerance compared to the others. Among the germination parameters, only the root length (RL) under PEG stress is positively correlated with grain yield, obtained under drought conditions in the field. Therefore, it would be possible to use this parameter to select, at an early stage, the most drought-tolerant genotypes.

This work presents an improved cuckoo search algorithm based on Success Rate (CSA-SR) for optimal allocation of Distributed Generation (DG). This is necessary in order to improve the power quality of the distribution system by minimizing power loss and improving voltage stability. Voltage Stability Index (VSI) is applied to identify restricted unhealthy buses/areas in the distribution networks. The work is implemented on standard IEEE 33 Bus test systems. Newton Raphson Power Flow (NRPF) technique is used in MATLAB R2019b environment for the power flow analysis. The overall IEEE 33 Bus system real power loss obtained from the simulation result is found to be 202.7071MW at the base case. Following the application of 3 DGs using CSA-SR, the real power loss is found to be 113.9630 MW which shows a reduction of 88.441MW which is equivalent to 43.77% as related to the base case. The results minimized the system losses while significantly enhancing the voltage profile of the bus voltages as a result of optimal siting and sizing of the DG. These show that the CSA-SR technique outperformed PSO, which was used to ascertain the effectiveness of the developed scheme.
Assessment of the impact of the degrees of degradation of pastures on the desert alluvial meadow soils of the village of Zhambyl

Published: April 2024

The article considers the features of the structure, chemical composition and physical properties of alluvial meadow soils of the pastures of the desert zone of the village of Zhambyl. These soils were formed in the sandy and sandy alluvial deposits of the Shu River. The soils of the floodplain of the river are mainly characterized by high fertility potential. But one of the factors limiting the growth of their potential fertility is the salinity of the soil image and the degree of degradation of pastures. The assessment of soil and plant indicators of pasture degradation in the Zhambyl base area is given. Previously, the area was irrigated and fertilized, and now it is used as a pasture. But due to overgrazing, the alluvial meadow soils of the desert near the village of Zhambyl and the vegetation on their surface have undergone anthropogenic degradation. Studies have shown that as the degradation of pastures increases, the thickness of the humus layer (A+B1) thinns, and the content of humus and nutrients in the soil decreases. The species and botanical composition of plants is undergoing changes, reducing their protection of the soil surface and the productivity of pasture feed. The results obtained are the theoretical foundations for the development of measures to increase soil fertility and productivity of natural vegetation on degraded pastures in the desert zone.

Yntymak st.,26, Kazakhstan Cotton in Kazakhstan is one of the strategically important crops and is cultivated in the extreme south of the republic in the Turkestan region, in the northernmost cotton-growing zone on the globe. The aridity of the climate, the shortage of irrigation water and the growing threat of the risk of increasing saline lands in cotton plantations, on the one hand, and the insufficient and unjustified use of minerals, on the other, are the main limiting factors in cotton production. On the industrial plantations of the peasant farm "Sabyr", v. Atakent, Maktaaral district, Turkestan region, field experiments were carried out on serozems of slightly and moderately salinity in 2022. In experiments on two salinity backgrounds, 9 identical treatments of fertilizers with different doses and ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were studied. During the phases of budding, flowering and fruit formation of cotton, biometric studies and selection of plant samples were carried out to study photosynthetic and yield indicators depending on fertilizers on 2 salinity backgrounds. The effect and interaction of fertilizers and the amount of salts in the soil on the formation of leaves in various phases of cotton development isquite accurately described (R2 = 0,957-0,972) by regression equations. At the same time, the effect of single action of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers was negative, and that of phosphorus fertilizers was positive. During the growing season, double combinations of all the studied factors, with the exception of nitrogen and potassium, had a negative effect on the dynamics of accumulation of cotton plant biomass. The gross cotton yield is 86% determined by the complex total influence of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and the degree of soil salinity. At the same time, the unilateral effect of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers and soil salinity on cotton yield was negative, and that of phosphorus fertilizer was positive. There is a high correlation between potassium nutrition and fiber quality indicators (r = 0,38-0,62). Changes in fiber quality indicators generally had a strong relationship with the amount of salts in the topsoil (r = 0,51-0,61).

The article presents the results of studies on correlations between the productivity of sugar beets and phosphorus, mineral and organic phosphates of soil grown in monoculture conditions and crop rotation on irrigated dark chestnut soil. Fertilizer application in a monoculture increases the amount of mineral phosphates in the range of 691,1-791,2 mg/kg, organic phosphates by 293,2-372,0 mg/kg, and under crop rotation conditions these indicators are 567,4-775,9 mg/kg and 332,5-395,8 mg/kg, respectively. It has been established that the correlations between the yield of sugar beets grown under conditions of monoculture and crop rotation, and mobile phosphorus and “active” calcium phosphates (Ca-PI + Ca-PII) in the soil are very high and amount to: R = 0,97-0, 99 and R =0,98. The correlations between sugar beet yield and organic phosphate phosphorus (LOS, fulvo and humic acids) were insignificant compared to mineral phosphate phosphorus. Under monoculture conditions, a high correlative relationship R = 0,81 was determined between the phosphorus of loose organic substances and the yield of sugar beets, and in crop rotation - between the phosphorus of fulvic acids and the yield of sugar beets (R = 0,76).
