Komplexität mehrstufiger Umformprozesse beherrschen/Mastering the complexity of multi-stage forming processes – The contribution of domain knowledge to a data-driven monitoring of progressive tools
Authors: Kokozinski Andre , Kubik Christian , Groche Peter
Published: November 2022

Industrielle Überwachungssysteme in Blechumformprozessen basieren weitestgehend auf Hüllkurven und Grenzwerten von Zeitreihen, die damit lediglich eine binäre Fehlerdetektion erlauben. Die modellbasierte Prozessüberwachung mit Methoden des Machine Learnings bietet jedoch deutlich tiefere Einblicke in diese Prozesse und zeigt das Potenzial, Zustände in komplexen mehrstufigen Werkzeugen inline zu klassifizieren ohne dafür aufwendige manuelle oder stichprobenartige Inspektionen durchführen zu müssen.

 

Industrial monitoring systems in sheet metal forming processes are generally based on envelopes and thresholds of time series, which only allow binary fault detection. However, model-based monitoring using machine learning methods offers significantly deeper insights into these processes. In addition, they show the potential to inline classify states in complex multi-stage tools without having to perform time-consuming manual or random inspections.

Published: November 2022

Batik adalah seni kerajinan tangan yang telah dipraktikkan selama berabad abad di Asia. Proses pembatikan yang kompleks mulai dari pemilihan dan pemrosesan kain sebagai bahan dasar, pembuatan gambar dasar, pengolesan lilin pada motif dasar, dan proses pewarnaan dan pengolesan lilin (malam) yang berulang ulang, hingga pencucian dalam setiap kali proses menghasilkan desain yang indah, rumit, dan unik. Batik juga menjadi refleksi kebudayaan dan sosiologis dari daerah asalnya dan atau juga dapat mendokumentasikan kisah atau legenda tertentu dari suatu masyarakat. Setelah tergambar motif dasar, desain lukisan dilukis menggunakan canting, yaitu sebuah alat seperti pena yang digunakan mengoleskan lilin cair panas ke kain. Kain diletakkan pada gawang terbuat dari kayu untuk memudahkan pembatik mengoleskan canting yang biasanya terbuat dari pelat kuningan atau tembaga yang di ujung canting terbuat dari pipa kecil untuk mengalirkan lilin panas ke kain bahan dasar. Gawang kayu berfungsi untuk menahan kain sehingga motif yang akan dilukis lilin panas tidak bertumpu pada tangan pembatik. Meskipun sudah tergeser oleh produksi pabrikan tekstil, batik justru menjadi produk masyarakat yang ekslusif. Seperti halnya kerajinan batik tulis yang ditekuni oleh keturunan dari Alm. Bpk. Moch Salam di desa Ngaresrejo, Sukodono Sidoarjo. Bapak Kusnaini sebagai penerus batik Moch Salam, berusaha untuk bertahan dari gempuran produk pabrikan tekstil dan produk batik cap. Untuk penjualannya sebagian besar berdasarkan pesanan dari beberapa masyarakat baik yang ada didaerah sekitar serta pegawai baik Pemerintah maupun Swasta yang biasanya digunakan untuk seragam. Hasil produksi batik ini masih kurang maksimal, karena waktu yang dibutuhkan sangat lama, berakibat pada banyaknya pesanan yang sering kali harus ditolak, karena kurang banyaknya tenaga kerja yang dimiliki. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan Pengadaan/ Rekayasa Teknologi tepat guna untuk membuat peralatan alat cap, meja cap dan wajan serta meja kompor sebagai tempat pengecapan supaya hasilnya lebih banyak dan waktu pengerjaannya lebih cepat. Manfaat yang diharapkan dari kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat dengan dana Hibah Perguruan Tinggi ini adalah dengan peralatan sederhana dan teknologi tepat guna Pengrajin Batik Tulis Moch Salam dapat memotivasi generasi muda yang berniat belajar membatik dapat menggalakkan kerajinan batik, sehingga yang tadinya ada anggapan batik itu sebagai kuno, sulit pengerjaannya, dan hanya bisa dilakukan oleh para orang tua, menjadi sangat mungkin dikerjakan oleh pemuda-pemudi kreatif sehingga dapat terkesan “batik itu indah dan mudah“.

Karena wilayah Pacet terletak di lereng gunung, maka tak heran jika tanahnya subur dan sebagian besar penduduknya berprofesi sebagai petani. Di antara semua desa di Pacet, salah satunya adalah Warugunung. Berdasarkan data Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Mojokerto, luas areal pertanian di Warugunung mencapai 249 Ha dengan produktivitas 71 Kuintal/Ha per tahun. Di antara semua masalah yang dihadapi petani, salah satu masalah yang paling krusial adalah wereng. Hal ini juga yang dialami oleh anggota Serikat Tani (Gapoktan) Rukun Tani di Warugunung. Biasanya petani akan menggunakan pestisida kimia untuk membunuh wereng. Sayangnya penggunaan pestisida kimia memang mempengaruhi kondisi lahan, pada suatu saat kesuburan lahan akan menurun. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, diusulkan suatu Sistem Pengendalian Pembasmi Wereng Berbasis dan Ramah Lingkungan. Alat ini menggunakan cahaya putih dari lampu LED 100 W untuk menarik wereng, setelah itu vakum akan mengambil wereng dan menjebaknya. Perangkat tersebut disematkan dengan mikrokontroler, sehingga perangkat ini dapat dikendalikan dari jauh oleh petani menggunakan ponsel pintar mereka.

Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) adalah merupakan bagian organisasi pemerintah untuk ikut serta memajukan kegiatan perekonomi di pedesaan yang berfungsi sebagai lembaga sosial dan komersial. Peran Badan Usaha Milik Desa (Bumdes)sangat diharapkan karena wilayah pedesaan memiliki peran yang penting dan strategis dalam mendukung pembangunan secara nasional. Kemandirian pembangunan kawasan pedesaan merupakan salah satu pendekatan dalam mendorong perkembangan ekonomi secara nasional dengan memanfaatkan potensi yang ada di wilayah pedesaan tersebut Oleh karena itu BUMDes adalah salah satu wadah yang memiliki peran penting dan sangat dibutuhkan. Pembangunan desa untuk memajukan perekonomian bangsa kini telah memiliki payung hukum, yaitu Undang-Undang Desa. Dalam implementasinya, Undang-Undang Desa memiliki beberapa tujuan, yaitu : 1) Pengakuan dan status hukum pada sistem pemerintahan setingkat desa yang beragam di Indonesia; 2) Mendorong tradisi dan kebudayaan masyarakat; 3) Mendorong partisipasi warga dalam pemerintahan desa; 4) Meningkatkan pelayanan untuk semua orang lewat lebih sanggupnya pemerintahan desa; 5) Mendorong pembangunan oleh warganya sendiri. Perkembangan ekonomi di wilayah desa Candinegoro diharapkan dapat mengurangi ketergantungan kawasan desa terhadap kota dan menguatkan peran desa sebagai pusat produksi kebutuhan sumberdaya pembangunan. Membangun hubungan keterkaitan antar desa-kota juga merupakan salah satu cara yang ditempuh sebagai suatu upaya pembangunan wilayah perdesaan, dimana peran desa dikuatkan sebagai pusat produksi dan sumberdaya. Pola tersebut diharapkan mendorong perkembangan ekonomi desa Candinegoro dan mendorong permerataan ekonomi antara desa dan kota. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, diperlukan alternatif-alternatif baru dan introduksi ilmu pengetahuan yang bisa dilakukan terhadap pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan salah satunya adalah membuat dokumentasi di ruang publik berupa foto dan poster sebuah produk UMKM agar lebih dikenal pada masyarakat.

Published: November 2022

Nepal saw its first COVID-19 case on January 23, 2020. Since then, Nepal has suffered from three waves of COVID-19. The goal of this paper is to conduct an epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 in Nepal and compare the changes in morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 over the course of two periods. The first period is defined as April 1, 2020- March 31, 2021. The second period is defined as April 1, 2021- March 31, 2022. Relevant variables were collected from Daily Situation Reports provided by the Ministry of Health and Population of Nepal. The main findings were the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths due to COVID-19 were higher in Period 2 in comparison to Period 1. Period 2 had a higher average recovery rate in comparison to Period 1. Majority of cases during both periods were male and in the 21-40 age category. The distribution of cases was more even amongst males and females in Period 2 in comparison to Period 1. Most cases reported during both periods were from Bagmati Province, which also had the most RT-PCR testing centers during both time periods. In terms of preventative measures, Period 2 had vaccination data reporting and a greater number of tests conducted in comparison to Period 1. Compared to the world, Nepal contributes a low mortality burden due to COVID-19. In addition, most Nepalese are vaccinated against COVID-19 (63.4%), which is comparable to India (62.50%) and the world (67.1%). The results from this study can be used to better implement prevention strategies in Nepal for future outbreaks.

Assessing the Impact of Education on the Uptake of Health Insurance at the Cape Coast Technical University, Ghana
Authors: Mensah Ophelia , Yeboah Richmond
Published: November 2022

Historically, health financing in Ghana was cash and carry from the 1980s until the year 2005 when National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) started operation. Due to the barriers surrounding the ‘‘out-of-pocket’’ (OOP) regime on healthcare, Ghana adopted health insurance as an alternative for financing healthcare. The National Health Insurance Scheme was thus introduced in 2003 as a step towards achieving universal health coverage. This was aimed at bringing hope, better health and easing the financial burden on the entire population of Ghana especially the most vulnerable and poor. The study assesses the impact of education on the uptake of the National Health Insurance Policy among the staff of Cape Coast Technical University and its policy implication in achieving universal coverage. A descriptive research design and quantitative research approaches were adopted in this study. A survey of 200 staff of Cape Coast Technical University was conducted using a proportionate stratified sample technique to ensure a smooth representation of individuals. Questionnaires were used to collect data for this study. The results of the ordinary least square regression proved that level of education statistically influenced the uptake of health insurance. The study recommends that policymakers should continue to invest in the education of Ghanaians.

Keywords: Heath, National Health Insurance, Uptake of Insurance, Education, and Cape Coast Technical University.
A Statistical Analysis on the Morphology and Color of Galaxies Hosting Radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei
Authors: Miraghaei Halime
Published: November 2022

The properties of galaxies hosting radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been investigated in order to find out the relation between morphology and color of galaxies and radio loudness. The concentration index is used to map the morphology of galaxies as early or late type. 4000 Å break strength and star-formation rate are used to quantify the state of galaxies as blue star forming or red quenched. Due to the environmental dependence of these properties, galaxies with the same environment have been considered. The results show that the prevalence of radio-loud AGN in early-type galaxies is independent of environment. This is confirmed by comparing a sample of galaxies hosting radio-loud AGN with a sample of galaxies hosting radio-quiet AGN or with a randomly selected galaxy sample from the total population of galaxies used in this study. In addition, it is shown that galaxies hosting radio-loud AGN are bluer indicating the role of cold gas in triggering AGN activity. Finally, the optically-selected radio-loud AGN show to have higher [O iii] luminosities compared with their radio-quiet counterparts. We argue the relation between radio size and luminosity with the [O iii] luminosity.

C’est-à-dire sur les terres d’un éducateur spécialisé passeur de vie, pris entre des paroles singulières porteuses de demandes et de désirs et des discours sociaux faits de commandes et d’impératifs ; un polyglotte à la croisée de systèmes complexes eux-mêmes en recherche constante d’équilibres, où se fondent des illusions et des réalités dont il a à ne pas être dupe, pour pouvoir y faire émerger de l’humanité.
Thermal denaturation of a coronavirus envelope (CoVE) protein by a coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulation
Authors: Boonamnaj Panisak , Sompornpisut Pornthep , Nimmanpipug Piyarat , Pandey R.B.
Published: November 2022

Thermal response of an envelope protein conformation from coronavirus-2 (CoVE) is studied by a coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulation. Three distinct segments, the N-terminal, Trans-membrane, and C-terminal are verified from its specific contact profile. The radius of gyration (Rg) reveals a non-monotonic sub-universal thermal response: Rg decays substantially on heating in native phase under low-temperature regime in contrast to a continuous increase on further raising the temperature prior to its saturation to a random-coil in denature phase. The globularity index which is a measure of effective dimension of the protein, decreases as the protein denatures from a globular to a random-coil conformation.

Pattern dynamics and Turing instability induced by self-super-cross-diffusive predator-prey model via amplitude equations
Authors: Iqbal Naveed , Wu Ranchao , Karaca Yeliz , Shah Rasool , Weera Wajaree
Published: November 2022

Incorporating self-diffusion and super-cross diffusion factors into the modeling approach enhances efficiency and realism by having a substantial impact on the scenario of pattern formation. Accordingly, this work analyzes self and super-cross diffusion for a predator-prey model. First, the stability of equilibrium points is explored. Utilizing stability analysis of local equilibrium points, we stabilize the properties that guarantee the emergence of the Turing instability. Weakly nonlinear analysis is used to get the amplitude equations at the Turing bifurcation point (WNA). The stability analysis of the amplitude equations establishes the conditions for the formation of small spots, hexagons, huge spots, squares, labyrinthine, and stripe patterns. Analytical findings have been validated using numerical simulations. Extensive data that may be used analytically and numerically to assess the effect of self-super-cross diffusion on a variety of predator-prey systems.
Semantic segmentation method for myocardial contrast echocardiogram based on DeepLabV3+ deep learning architecture
Authors: Cheng Huan , Zhang Jucheng , Gong Yinglan , Pu Zhaoxia , Jiang Jun , Chu Yonghua , Xia Ling
Published: November 2022

Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) has been proposed as a method to assess myocardial perfusion for the detection of coronary artery diseases in a non-invasive way. As a critical step of automatic MCE perfusion quantification, myocardium segmentation from the MCE frames faces many challenges due to the low image quality and complex myocardial structure. In this paper, a deep learning semantic segmentation method is proposed based on a modified DeepLabV3+ structure with an atrous convolution and atrous spatial pyramid pooling module. The model was trained separately on three chamber views (apical two-chamber view, apical three-chamber view, and apical four-chamber view) on 100 patients' MCE sequences, divided by a proportion of 7:3 into training and testing datasets. The results evaluated by using the dice coefficient (0.84, 0.84, and 0.86 for three chamber views respectively) and Intersection over Union(0.74, 0.72 and 0.75 for three chamber views respectively) demonstrated the better performance of the proposed method compared to other state-of-the-art methods, including the original DeepLabV3+, PSPnet, and U-net. In addition, we conducted a trade-off comparison between model performance and complexity in different depths of the backbone convolution network, which illustrated model application feasibility.
Learning From Reviews: The Selection Effect and the Speed of Learning
Authors: Acemoglu Daron , Makhdoumi Ali , Malekian Azarakhsh , Ozdaglar Asuman
Published: November 2022

This paper develops a model of Bayesian learning from online reviews and investigates the conditions for learning the quality of a product and the speed of learning under different rating systems. A rating system provides information about reviews left by previous customers. observe the ratings of a product and decide whether to purchase and review it. We study learning dynamics under two classes of rating systems:
full history, where customers see the full history of reviews, and
summary statistics, where the platform reports some summary statistics of past reviews. In both cases, learning dynamics are complicated by a
selection effect—the types of users who purchase the good, and thus their overall satisfaction and reviews depend on the information available at the time of purchase. We provide conditions for complete learning and characterize and compare its speed under full history and summary statistics. We also show that providing more information does not always lead to faster learning, but strictly finer rating systems do.
Achieving Scale Collectively

Published: November 2022

Many firms in developing countries could be too small to adopt modern technology embodied in expensive production machines. This paper shows that rental market interactions allow these small firms to increase their effective scale and mechanize production. We conduct a survey of manufacturing firms in Uganda, which uncovers an active rental market for large machines between small firms in informal clusters. We then build an equilibrium model of firm behavior and estimate it with our data. We find that the rental market is quantitatively important for mechanization and productivity since it provides a workaround for other market imperfections that keep firms small. The rental market also shapes the effectiveness of development policies to foster mechanization, such as subsidies to purchase machines. Overall, our results point to the importance of taking into account firm‐to‐firm interactions within informal clusters to understand technology adoption in low income countries: focusing on the small scale of firms in isolation might be misleading.
Use of Socio-Cognitive and Affective Computing to Teach Emotions to Autistic Children
Authors: Muthuselvi R. , Nirmala G.
Published: November 2022

Learning aids in the development of attitude. It encourages the individual to learn new skills. It is critical to master three learning domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive computing system instantaneously processes data and gives solutions to questions. Affective computing is the development of tools that can recognise, understand, examine, and replicate human brains. Communication and behaviour are impacted by autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disease. ASD leads to have difficulty in interacting with society and communicating with society. It states that people with ASD have 1) difficulty in conversation and contact with other people, 2) symptoms that interfere with the person's ability to function normally in the society, and 3) restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. In the chapter, a computer-based model is developed for various emotions, facial expressions, and voice and body language. The aim is to develop a computer-based model that supports the autistic children to understand emotions and express their feelings.
An Emotion-Aware E-Learning System Based on Psychophysiology
Authors: Selvaraj Jerritta , Sahayadhas Arun
Published: November 2022

Computer-based learning and training has increased over the past few decades and has become the norm of today. This allows students to learn from the comfort of their home at their convenient time and pace. The learning materials can be accessed at any time and from anywhere making it easier for students. Recent studies indicate that negative emotions such as anger, frustration, confusion, and boredom inhibit the learning process and positive emotions such as excitement and enthusiasm support the learning process. Many students complain of boredom and similar negative emotions, which deteriorate the rate of learning. This research tries to integrate the emotion recognition system to help students during the learning process. Appropriate coping mechanisms can be integrated into the e-learning system to keep the students engaged and alert in the process. Emotions can be identified using wearable sensors and appropriate learning activity or breaks or physical activity can be given to students based on the emotion experienced by the students.

Published: November 2022

Many people worldwide have the problem of visual impairment. The authors' idea is to design a novel image captioning model for assisting the blind people by using deep learning-based architecture. Automatic understanding of the image and providing description of that image involves tasks from two complex fields: computer vision and natural language processing. The first task is to correctly identify objects along with their attributes present in the given image, and the next is to connect all the identified objects along with actions and generating the statements, which should be syntactically correct. From the real-time video, the features are extracted using a convolutional neural network (CNN), and the feature vectors are given as input to long short-term memory (LSTM) network to generate the appropriate captions in a natural language (English). The captions can then be converted into audio files, which the visually impaired people can listen. The model is tested on the two standardized image captioning datasets Flickr 8K and MSCOCO and evaluated using BLEU score.

The initial outbreak of the coronavirus was met with lockdowns being enforced all over the world in March 2020. A prominent change in human lifestyle is the shift of professional and academic work to online platforms, as opposed to previously attending to them in person. As with any major change, the implementation of complete remote work and study is expected to affect different people differently. Through the results of a questionnaire designed as per the implications of the self-efficacy theory shared with people who were either students, working professionals, entrepreneurs, or homemakers aged between 12 and 60 years, the authors perform statistical analysis and subsequently hypothesize how different aspects of remote work affect the population from a mental standpoint using t-test, with respect to their professional or academic work. This is followed by predictive modelling through machine learning algorithms to classify working preference as ‘remote' or ‘in-person'.

Real-time data from social network sites like Twitter or Facebook has been a popular source for analytics and researchers in the recent years due to various factors like large amount of data, structured-ness, and popularity. Analyzing data is a very common requirement today, but such requirements become difficult when there is a bulk of data which needs to processed and analyzed in real time. Analyzing large number of tweets from Twitter to get different patterns and extract useful information is a massive challenge. Apache Spark is a platform that can be used to handle big data efficiently, and it offers faster solutions compared to Hadoop. This chapter addresses the issue of real-time analyzing and filtering the tweets as per the user's requirements from among the millions of other streaming tweets and classifies them into various categories. It creates an interactive automatic system that splits data based on important keywords and displays a graphical representation of connected tweets using Apache Spark.

Cardiovascular disease is among the leading sources of the growing rate of morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting roughly 50% of the adult age group in the healthcare sector. Heart disease claims the lives of about one person per minute in this modern era. Accurate detection methods for the timely identification of cardiovascular disorders are essential because there is rapid growth in the number of patients with this disease. The goal is to understand risk factors by analyzing the heart monitoring dataset using exploratory data analysis. This chapter proposes a heart disease prediction framework using soft voting-based ensemble learning techniques. Performance evaluation of the proposed framework and its comparison with the state-of-the-art models are done using a benchmark dataset in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score. Heart disease is a long-term problem with a greater risk of becoming worse over time. The proposed model has achieved an accuracy of 90.21%.
Virtual Instructional Coaching
Authors: Layton Tiffany Dawn
Published: November 2022

While research indicates that instructional coaching is an effective alternative to traditional professional development models, most teachers do not have access to a coach. Lack of opportunity to engage with a coach negatively impacts the professional growth of early-career educators. Instructional coaching supports the development of first-year teachers by incorporating nine elements of effective professional development: (1) individualized support, (2) active learning, (3) collaboration, (4) focus on content, (5) modeling of effective strategies and practices, (6) extended duration, (7) reflection, (8) feedback, and (9) trust. This chapter presents five critical arguments for the implementation of virtual instructional coaching for first-year teachers: (1) tenets of effective professional development, (2) professional learning needs of first-year teachers, (3) instructional coaching as effective professional development, (4) virtual instructional coaching benefits for first-year teachers, and (5) implications for educational leaders and policymakers.

Published: November 2022

This chapter describes in detail the use of a semester-long project for students learning the foundations of education. This chapter takes the readers on a journey through successful reiterations of the project to meet the needs of students in traditional face-to-face, fully online course and hybrid courses. Over the years, the instructors have improved the project through slow expansion, piloting, research studies, and student feedback. Teacher candidates need to understand and value the notion of lifelong learning as being an essential part of teaching, and the recursive redesign of this project demonstrates their instructors' strong belief in improvement through the learning process. It is only through recursive redesign of our courses and activities will we be able to meet the ever changing and unique needs of our students.

Soft or Hard Power in Diplomacy
Authors: Terzioğlu Elifnur
Published: November 2022

With the end of the Cold War, the military-based structure, which was the only relatively single actor in the international system that went through a serious transformation, was replaced by a deepened structure with new actors such as individuals, companies, and international organizations alongside the state. This transformation of the system requires actors, especially states, to revise themselves through new security perceptions, and instead of military interventions, which are described as hard power, soft power resources such as education, science, sports, culture, art, and economy come to the forefront. In a world that has become interdependent in many respects, countries need to both protect and defend their national interests and maintain relations with other countries in the face of the risks of biased, false news and incitement to societies caused by increasing information resources. In this study, soft power and hard power concepts will be discussed, and their place in diplomacy will be examined.
India-Nepal Border Dispute, Media and Securitization in Nepal
Authors: Uprety Sudeep
Published: November 2022

Though the role of media in national security matters has been generally understood in academic and public spheres, limited studies have been conducted and published, especially in the context of Nepal. Most studies have been confined to the civil-military relations, post-conflict transformation and media advocacy, international diplomacy, among others. The discourses carried through and by the media has been given limited attention in both academic and professional circles. Conducting critical discourse analysis of the media coverage and documenting perspectives of the national security and international relations scholars as well as media researchers and practitioners, this chapter attempts to understand the inter-relationship between the media and security sector in Nepal through the securitization theory. Examining the patterns of the Lipulekh border dispute, the chapter explores the process of securitization through the ‘speech act' and how it is shaping and has shaped public perceptions regarding national security and nationalism.

Movement of a Hydrogen Atom through Interstices in a Diamond-Like Lattice
Authors: Askerova Vera , Kalashnikov Evgenii
Published: November 2022

The behavior of hydrogen atom isotopes in a diamond-like lattice without defects is studied. The movement of the hydrogen atom along the interstices is considered. The collective nature of the movement of the hydrogen atom (and its isotopes) is taken into account, which consists in the fact that any movement of the hydrogen atom is accompanied by reversible displacements of the nearest lattice atoms. To take into account this nature of the movement, local chains are built. As a result, a new one-dimensional Lagrangian is derived, the equations of motion from which lead to a soliton-like solution in the form of a kink - Frenkel-Kontorova soliton. The study of the structure of such a kink and the distribution of displacement velocities in it reveals that the kink formed by tritium moves faster through the lattice than the kinks formed by deuterium and hydrogen.

The improved oil recovery (IOR) is a way of enhancing the reservoir properties with the use of nanomaterials to detach the oil molecule from the trapped zone. The polarization effect on reservoir sandstone under an electric double layer is one of the major research interests. The nanoparticles agglomeration such as graphene nanofluid due to poor dispersion in reservoir zone can be a major challenge that can lead to low reservoir permeability are well elucidated. This study investigated the influence of graphene nanofluid on the ionic polarization under an electric double layer in reservoir sandstone. Saturated Berea sandstone was used to investigate the interaction of ionic species on reservoir sandstone with the aid of Field-emission microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive X-ray mapping (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectral analysis, and Core flooding experiment. This research gives information on the adsorption of ions within an electric double layer and its polarization mechanisms. It was revealed from the experimental result that ionic polarization occurs at 9.97 GHz with a 5.8nm wavelength shift which improves the mobility of the reservoir and in turn increases oil recovery factors. Graphene nanoparticles show a positive effect on both reservoir oil viscosity and stabilization characteristics of drilling fluids, wettability alteration, interfacial tension, and improving the emulsion Keywords: Nanomaterials, Sandstone, Electric double layer, Graphene
