Authors: Almansour Baraa
Published: June 2024

Emotional state can influence the dynamics of the learning environment. Both educators and parents need to acknowledge the integral role that emotions have in learning. Emotions are the embodied response to a stimulus. Phylogenetically, olfactory stimulation has unique relation with emotion. Hence, it is important to take the ambient smells surrounding us into consideration to enhance our “ Well-being”, which is defined as the combination of feeling good and functioning well; by experiencing positive emotions such as happiness and contentment as well as the development of one’s potential. It has been proven that aromatherapy using specific ambient scents is a positive tool in learning process affecting cognitive skills from one side and psychological condition for everyone involved. Aromatherapy is practiced via inhalation or topical application as a natural way of healing a person’s mind, body and soul. The practice will be depended on specific essential oils proven to have multiple aspects of neural and mental development, emitted from an aromatherapy burner - in both schools and homes- and continuously burned throughout the teaching period. Inhaling essential oils will stimulate the olfactory system. As the molecules would reach the brain, they will affect limbic system, which is linked to emotions, memory and stress, reflecting on the well- being of all who are involved in the learning process, building sustain and positive emotions of appreciation for the world around them.
Status of Prisoners of War in the Contemporary World
Authors:   Liberal Press, Jha Sudarshana
Published: June 2024

The Third Geneva Convention is a global treaty that ensures humane treatment for prisoners of war (POWs) in contemporary conflicts. POWs are entitled to freedom of movement, protection from public curiosity, and protection from violence or intimidation. In non-international armed conflicts, captured insurgents are not considered POWs. However, their condition is equally deplorable. In 2018, Yemeni parties and the Arab Coalition Representative signed an agreement to exchange all prisoners, detainees, missing persons, arbitrarily detained, and those under house arrest. The Convention mandates equal treatment for all prisoners, including women. On the ground, the condition of the POWs is horrific, especially for the females who are subjected to sexual assault apart from undergoing other challenges for survival. This article provides a critique of the status of prisoners of war vis-à-vis the provisions of the Third Geneva Convention. A debate on the condition of POWs becomes even more imperative due to emerging scenarios attributed to armed conflicts in various parts of the world today.

Thin Glass Installation
Authors: Toliopoulou Marialena , O'Callaghan James , De Ruiter Paul
Published: June 2024

The architectural prominence of glass structures, driven by ongoing innovations in manufacturing and post-processing techniques, reveals the material's remarkable structural potential. Aluminosilicate glass, distinguished by superior strength and flexibility, particularly in comparison to soda lime glass, facilitates the production of ultra-thin glass with thicknesses as low as 25 μm. This has led to the emergence of "thin glass," defined as any glass below 2 mm in thickness. Thin glass, celebrated for its unique attributes, has found diverse applications in industries like automotive and electronics. In architecture, thin glass holds potential for creating complex, lightweight, and transparent architectural structures. This paper addresses the constraints of thin glass in construction and explores optimal bending techniques to maximize its potential through a detailed study of its properties. The current study establishes design guidelines and a computational approach for utilizing cold bent thin glass in the design process. The findings showcase a successful computational method providing tools, design principles, and guidelines for working with single curved cold bent thin glass panels. The paper also examines suitable connection types for thin glass projects, proposing a hinge clamp connection. A case study illustrates the proposed workflow, resulting in a prototype using a 3D-printed approach for the suggested connection design.

Structural Glass Design Manual
Authors: Green Richard , Crosby Andrew , McDonnell Terrence
Published: June 2024

Other than limited special cases, there is a lack of standards providing guidance on the design of structural glass in the United States and much of the world. This has resulted in an ad-hoc approach by cities (authorities having jurisdiction), architects, and engineers. This paper outlines the key aspects of designing with glass in a manner that has reliability and robustness consistent with other structural materials while recognizing the unique aspects of glass. This voluntary design manual is aimed at providing 4 consistent levels of risk in applications that allow Architects, Owners and Engineers to have an informed decision-making process for selecting levels of robustness, which may or may not be otherwise required by code. The document aims at developing consistent practices to facilitate confident design in glass while also addressing a number of technical challenges.
Reducing Deflection of Thin Glass by Prestress
Authors: Bensend Austin , Zaccaria Marco
Published: June 2024

Enclos has identified a novel technique to substantially stiffen glass via prestress. Significant reductions in deflection of thin glass have been demonstrated numerically and on prototype mockups using this technique. The potential integration of this technology with glass such as AGC’s Falcon Glass presents opportunities for performance improvement and material optimization. This study examines prestressed glass specimens which are 0.5mm, 1.1mm, and 2.1mm thick in comparison to glass of the same thicknesses that has not been enhanced by the novel stiffening method. The technology relies on a prestress pattern generated by cold-forming a double-curved surface into a flat pane.  Unlike most cold-warping that starts with a flat sheet of glass deformed to a final warped surface, this approach begins with a hot-formed glass shape that is flattened elastically to a planar lite. The process results in a pattern of membrane prestress contained within the glass. As a result of the deformation, the center region of the glass is put into tension, which is balanced by regions of compression within the glass at the perimeter, adjacent to the frame. The membrane tension region that develops increases the glass stiffness for deflections out-of-plane, in a similar manner to the way tensioning a cable generates higher stiffness to resist applied lateral loads acting on it. Numerical models and test results from Enclos and AGC are presented in this study.
Environmental Impact of Passive Smart Window Technologies
Authors: Matricardi Paolo , Ottele Marc , Louter Christian , Luna Navarro Alessandra
Published: June 2024

This paper draws attention to the environmental impact of passive smart windows, a novel high-performance glazing technologies that can change their solar transmittance to control the amount of solar gain, thus reducing cooling energy demand. Despite the large influence of building envelope technologies on overall embodied carbon in buildings, the environmental impact of passive smart windows has been inadequately addressed, with a dearth of numerical data on various impact categories beyond energy consumption and Global Warming Potential (GWP). While current literature focuses on the advantages of these technologies in terms of operational energy savings, other critical environmental considerations are currently missing. This paper aims to bridge the existing gap by introducing a novel framework for evaluating the broader environmental impact of passive smart windows through a multi-category LCA method.  By analysing the life cycle of these technologies, including production, usage, and disposal, the research seeks to provide a holistic understanding of their contribution to sustainability. The framework is based on systematic literature review on current state-of-art approaches and Interviews with key stakeholders in the dynamic glazing value chain. Literature review and interview results are presented, and then the framework is demonstrated through a case study of a thermochromic technologies for an office building in the Netherlands. Preliminary results show the critical areas where improvements on the methods or on the performance of the technology are required for the achievement of holistically sustainable high-performing glazing.
Restoring Hi-Tech Architecture
Authors: Lenk Peter , Van de Rotten Peter , Forwood Ed
Published: June 2024

In this paper we will discuss a challenging, iconic, heritage, refurbishment project – Channel 4’s headquarters building located in London, England. The building was originally designed by Richard Rogers and Partners in collaboration with Arup, RFR and was executed in 1994 by Eiffel under a sub-contract package with Permasteelisa. We will methodically outline the procedures that were followed to assess and restore this ageing, iconic cable net façade where, in an almost unprecedented way, the face glass is used structurally to support the dead load of the panels below to create a chain of suspended glass panes. After approximately 25 years of service Arup was called back to provide advice to the client following a glass breakage incident.  This triggered a detailed condition survey which concluded that a project refurbishment was overdue.  Arup then provided further studies to inform strategic options as to how to best refurbish the façade.  This advice led to the appointment of Octatube to provide Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) support to assist the façade appraisal and to carry out design, material testing, calculation and to provide critical construction advice, and then lead to Ocatatube’s appointment to fully refurbish the iconic façade.
Mechanical Properties of Glass Plate During Anticlastic Cold Bending
Authors: Hao Xiaohan , Chen Suwen
Published: June 2024

Anticlastic glass surfaces play a significant role in free-form glass facades. For realizing anticlastic surface, cold bending by loading at the corner of the plate is more adaptive and more economic than traditional hot bending method. Previous research on anticlastic cold bending mainly focuses on the description of instability phenomenon and qualitative analysis of parameters. However, the failure mechanisms of glass plates during cold bending and the influence of lamination remains unclear. In this paper, the anticlastic cold bending test was conducted to explore the influence of various factors, including aspect ratio, scale and composition of the plates. Subsequently, an effective finite element model was established and validated by test results, which is used for further explore the cold bending controlling condition for better engineering practice. The failure modes are considered as instability and strength failure. For laminated glass, maximum stresses can be derived from monolithic glass based on equivalent thickness method. The instability is induced by the compression area in the middle surface of glass plate which is significantly influenced by the composition of the laminates. Consequently, thin glass laminates exhibit enhanced stability because a reduced glass to PVB thickness ratio changes the compression area from bi-directional to uni-directional.

This research is related to the structural performance of a shell-type system made of hollow glass units (HGU) that utilizes glass as the primary structural material. The efficient structural function of the proposed shell-type system is designed using Polyhedral Graphic Statics to achieve a system geometry that maximizes in-plane compression and limits the presence of tension. The large-scale shell structure is constructed using a modular assembly of individual hollow glass units. To date, the research team has completed studies on individual HGU strength and stiffness, and the performance of the interface material necessary to transmit the high in-plane compression forces between neighboring HGUs. As well, the feasibility of the proposed modular system has also been demonstrated through the successful assembly and disassembly of a 3 m span prototype pedestrian bridge known as Tortuca. Tortuca is comprised of 13 individual interlocking HGUs assembled into a compression-dominant form supported on steel abutments. In the current research study, the physical performance of Tortuca is experimentally investigated under controlled laboratory testing and using an extensive assortment of displacement and strain sensors. Significant findings related to experimental testing of Tortuca will be reported.
Glass Bottle Earth Brick for Structural Wall
Authors: Alkisaei Hoessein , Heller Hanna , Justino de Lima Clarissa , Noteboom Chris , Louter Christian
Published: June 2024

Brazil has a low percentage of recycled container glass due to multiple factors, such as inadequate waste collection and recycling infrastructure, low public awareness about recycling's significance, and insufficient laws to promote it. In addition, the country faces high levels of homelessness and inadequate housing. As a result, an increasing number of builders are exploring repurposing glass bottles as a construction material for walls, occasionally incorporating them into traditional earthen building techniques. Therefore, this paper investigates the potential of prefabricated earthcrete bricks that integrate glass container bottles for the construction of structural load-bearing walls for affordable housing in Brazil while at the same time reducing pollution, enhancing aesthetics, and promoting environmental friendliness. Initially, the mechanical behaviour of the container glass bottles in earth bricks is investigated through FEM modelling. Subsequently, prototypes are made and tested in the laboratory, revealing a compressive strength between 8.21 and 11.40 MPa. From these findings, it is concluded that reusing glass bottles for the construction of structural walls capable of supporting small-scale structures could be feasible.

Published: June 2024

This article presents the metric avoided carbon for the reuse of aluminium unitised curtain wall façades from a donor building in a receiving building. The metric is used to compare seven proposed circular reuse strategies, each showing a different gradation of reuse. Based on literature and reference studies, we identify those parts of the façade where reuse has the most impact and is technically feasible. The seven reuse strategies and the avoided carbon method are applied on a real case study building as donor project and a fictive building as receiving project. We conclude that reuse is technically feasible, saves carbon, and that the proposed metric can help to incentivize building owners and project developers to choose circular reuse.

Deep Learning for Smart Grid Intrusion Detection: A Hybrid CNN-LSTM-Based Model
Authors: Alsaiari Abdulhakim , Ilyas Mohammad
Published: June 2024

As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities. Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition, our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Published: June 2024

There is an increasing interest in developing techniques to identify and assess data to allow an easy and continuous access to resources, services or places that require thorough ID control. Usually, in order to give access to these resources, different kinds of documents are mandatory. In order to avoid forgeries without the need of extra credentials, a new system –named photoQR, is here proposed. This system is based on a ID card having two objects: one person’s picture (pre-processed via blur and/or swirl techniques) and one QR code containing embedded data related to the picture. The idea is that the picture and the QR code can assess each other by a proper hash value in the QR. The QR without the picture cannot be assessed and vice versa. An open source prototype of the photoQR system has been implemented in Python and can be used both in offline and real-time environments, which effectively combines security concepts and image processing algorithms to obtain data assessment.

Published: June 2024

The widespread integration of Smart technologies into energy consumption systems has brought about a transformative shift in monitoring and managing electricity usage. The imbalanced nature of anomaly data often results in suboptimal performance in detecting rare anomalies. This literature review analyzes models designed to address this challenge. The methodology involves a systematic literature review based on the five-step framework proposed by Khan, encompassing framing research questions, identifying relevant literature, assessing article quality, conducting a critical review, and interpreting results. The findings show that classical machine learning models like Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forests (RF) are commonly used. In conclusion, classical machine learning models like SVM and RF struggle to recognize rare anomalies, while deep learning models, notably Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), show promise for automatically learning elaborate representations and improving performance while dealing with class imbalance.

Emergency medicine is a lifeline specialty at hospitals that patients head to for various reasons, including serious health problems, traumas, and adventitious conditions. Emergency departments are restricted to limited resources and personnel, complicating the optimal handling of all received cases. Therefore, crowded waiting areas and long waiting durations result. In this research, the databases of MIMIC-IV-ED and MIMIC-IV were utilized to obtain records of patients who visited the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the USA. Triage data, dispositions, and length of stay of these individuals were extracted. Subsequently, the urgency of these cases was inferred based on standards stated in the literature and followed in developed countries. A comparative framework using four different machine learning algorithms besides a reference model was developed to classify these patients into complex and fast–track categories. Moreover, the relative importance of employed predictors was determined. This study proposes an approach to deal with non-urgent visits and lower overall waiting times at the emergency by utilizing the powers of machine learning to identify high-severity and low-severity patients. Given the provision of the required resources, the proposed classification would help improve the overall throughput and patient satisfaction.

The Future wireless communication systems face the challenging task of simultaneously providing highquality service (QoS) and broadband data transmission, while also minimizing power consumption, latency, and system complexity. Although Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been widely adopted in 4G and 5G systems, it struggles to cope with a significant delay and Doppler spread in high mobility scenarios. To address these challenges, a novel waveform named Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS). Designers aim to outperform OFDM by closely aligning signals with the channel behaviour. In this paper, we propose a switching strategy that empowers operators to select the most appropriate waveform based on an estimated speed of the mobile user. This strategy enables the base station to dynamically choose the waveform that best suits the mobile user’s speed. Additionally, we suggest retaining an Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) radar approach for accurate Doppler estimation. This provides precise information to facilitate the waveform selection procedure. By leveraging the switching strategy and harnessing the Doppler estimation capabilities of an ISAC radar.Our proposed approach aims to enhance the performance of wireless communication systems in high mobility cases. Considering the complexity of waveform processing, we introduce an optimized hybrid system that combines OTFS and OFDM, resulting in reduced complexity while still retaining performance benefits.This hybrid system presents a promising solution for improving the performance of wireless communication systems in higher mobility.The simulation results validate the effectiveness of our approach, demonstrating its potential advantages for future wireless communication systems. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by simulation results as it will be illustrated.

A 160-bit (20-byte) hash value, sometimes called a message digest, is generated using the SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) hash function in cryptography. This value is commonly represented as 40 hexadecimal digits. It is a Federal Information Processing Standard in the United States and was developed by the National Security Agency. Although it has been cryptographically cracked, the technique is still in widespread usage. In this work, we conduct a detailed and practical analysis of the SHA-1 algorithm's theoretical elements and show how they have been implemented through the use of several different hash configurations.
