Barriers Hindering Green Building Materials Adoption in the Nigerian Construction Industry
Authors: Tunji-Olayeni P. , David S.
Published: November 2024

The adoption of green building material can lower greenhouse gas emissions emanating from construction related activities. Green building materials (GBM) have a lower carbon footprint, it has more energy efficient and also offer better thermal comfort which make them advantageous than
conventional building materials. Green Building material (GBM) offers environmental, social and economic benefits over conventional building material. However little empirical evidence exists of the wide spread adoption of GBM at scale in especially in developing countries, particularly Nigeria,
what could be the factor that hindered GBM adoption. To answer this, this paper assesses the barrier hindering GBM adoption in Nigeria construction industrial (NCI). It uses a cross-sectional survey research design with a structured questionnaire to achieve the aim of the study. Inferential
and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data gotten from the survey. The result from the analysis showed; lack of government policies focused on Green building materials adoption, lack of knowledge about Green building materials, lack of industrialized systems for Green building
materials production, Lack of institution to formulate policies and set guideline and Lack of Demand for GBM are the first five main barriers hindering GBM adoption in Nigeria. The findings of the study have great implications for GBM policy, design and implementation. These Policies will
serves as frameworks which can create an enabling environment for GBM production to thrive and also drive the adoption of the same in the NCI. Ultimately this will cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.

Published: November 2024

Corrosion is a major issue affecting the durability and performance of copper in industrial applications, particularly in high-salinity environments. Traditional methods for corrosion inhibition often involve toxic chemicals, posing significant health and environmental risks. In response
to these challenges, this study explores an innovative, eco-friendly alternative by using watermelon seed extract as a natural corrosion inhibitor for copper in brine. This research is among the first to investigate watermelon seed extract in this context, offering a sustainable substitute
for synthetic inhibitors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) paired with EDAX analysis reveals the extract' s uniform coverage on the copper surface, with elemental analysis showing notable amounts of carbon (76.4%) and oxygen (17.2%), providing valuable insights into the extract' s interaction
at the microstructural level. Additionally, FTIR analysis confirms the presence of carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which impart hydrophobic properties crucial for corrosion resistance. The corrosion inhibition performance is evaluated using multiple electrochemical techniques
such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), open circuit potential (OCP), and Tafel polarization curves (TC), demonstrating how inhibition efficiency is influenced by the concentration of the extract. The study identifies an optimal concentration of 200μ L for maximum protection,
highlighting the potential for fine-tuning natural extracts for industrial corrosion prevention. By demonstrating the efficacy of watermelon seed extract, this research promotes green chemistry principles, providing a safer, more environmentally friendly solution to corrosion inhibition while
advancing sustainability in industrial applications.

To address the growing gap between energy demand and availability, the need for biofuels has become increasingly urgent. Biofuels offer a renewable energy source while significantly reducing or even eliminating net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Ethanol, commonly produced through biomass
fermentation, has emerged as a promising alternative to gasoline due to its advantageous combustion properties, including a high octane rating and inherent oxygen content. Despite its expanding use, a key research gap exists in evaluating the compatibility of internal combustion engines with
ethanol or ethanol-gasoline blends, particularly regarding performance and emission outcomes. This study seeks to bridge that gap by examining engine performance and emissions using various ethanol-gasoline blends (E0, E5, E10, E15, and E20), while adhering to circular economy principles by
utilizing food waste for bioethanol production. The research questions center on how these different ethanol blends impact engine power, thermal efficiency, and emissions. The goal is to identify the optimal ethanol blend that enhances engine performance while reducing harmful emissions. The
results demonstrate that adding ethanol improves combustion efficiency, leading to increased brake power and brake thermal efficiency. Peak performance was recorded with a 15% ethanol blend (E15), after which a decline was observed. Additionally, a notable decrease in carbon monoxide (CO)
and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions occurred with higher ethanol concentrations, attributed to more complete combustion. This research offers novel insights by providing a detailed performance and emission analysis of ethanol-gasoline blends, contributing to the development of more environmentally
sustainable fuel options.

According to the degree of power influence, antimonopoly regulation has a significant impact on economic entities, consumers, and their private interest. Antimonopoly regulation is based on the public interest of protecting competition. The collision and contact of the public interest in protecting competition and private interest, as well as with other public interests, generates a set of theoretical and practical problems related to the need for their coordination, balance in the legal space, without which it is problematic to ensure both the constitutional rights of citizens. Goal. Scientific substantiation of theoretical and methodological aspects of the system of state antimonopoly regulation of the economy in the framework of suppression of monopolistic activity of economic entities and anticompetitive actions of authorities and management. Method or methodology. The study is based on a general scientific methodology, which provides for the use of a systematic approach and general scientific methods of cognition. The results of the work. The article considers the model of the balance of interests in the state antimonopoly regulation of the economy as a set of economic, administrative and legislative measures implemented by the state and aimed at ensuring conditions for market competition and preventing excessive monopolization of the market that threatens the normal functioning of the market mechanism. Conclusions. Antimonopoly policy is an integral part of the socio–economic sphere of the state, which should be synchronized with other state regulation, including tax, civil law, administrative, criminal, and sectoral. At the same time, you need to know that the task of the Antimonopoly Service of Russia is not only antimonopoly regulation, but also the development of a full–fledged antimonopoly policy to support competition, taking into account the functions and directions outlined above.

Subject. The problem of motivating consumer behavior is relevant today, since with the development of the Russian economy, the competition between companies increases for the right to serve a particular buyer. To do this, companies need to build communication with the consumer in such a way that, based on his needs, it is possible to draw attention to their brand, sell the product and profit from it. Studying consumer motivation is one of the key tasks for any specialist in the marketing field. Identification of internal motives allows you to understand which tools need to be used in order to most effectively stimulate sales growth. Goal. Scientific substantiation of the principles and tools for researching consumer motivation using consumer motivational analysis as an effective tool for marketing research and a stimulating indicator of the process of managing consumer purchasing behavior. Method or methodology. The study is based on a general scientific methodology, which provides for the use of a systematic approach and general scientific methods of cognition. The results of the work. An important point in the study of consumer motivation is understanding their consumer values - it allows you to analyze in detail the structure of customer needs and carry out reasonable market segmentation. The article presents materials on the study of consumer preferences in relation to stationery products presented in the retail store "Poputchik" on the market of the city of Lipetsk. Conclusions. Conducting market research gives the company an idea of the needs of customers, their criteria when choosing a store and the possibility (or impossibility) of raising or lowering the price. Thus, the enterprise can dynamically track any changes in the needs of buyers, which makes it possible to save its customers and win new ones. In turn, this gives the company high competitiveness, market stability, and favorable further economic growth.

The Geopolitical Rivalry between Morocco & Algeria in the region, as an entry point for prospecting the future of western Sahara case
Authors: Kezzoute Mhammed
Published: November 2024

Since the emergence of the Sahara issue, many changes and developments have characterized Morocco’s political behavior and defined its diplomatic conduct. Western Sahara has become a major and priority concern of the country’s supreme authority and a national project in which all categories of key and secondary actors have been involved. But despite the importance and symbolism that characterize this dossier in Moroccan conscience, the interest and passion of the national academic elites for the question of the Sahara in particular is limited and has few interests. Therefore, our desire to participate in this academic work in an attempt to approach the question of the Sahara according to a new interactive analytical paradigm, is based mainly on the combination of multiple describing aspects and deducting processes. We see that this process has the ability to provide a new reading that can help to examine the positioning of the issue and to predict the future of possible developments and future scenarios and even the possibility of directly influencing the course of current events.

Published: November 2024

Feature-intensity differences exist between different modal images; hence, complementary features are easily ignored or drowned in most multimodal image fusion algorithms. In this study, a novel two-stage fusion algorithm is proposed to reduce the loss of complementary features. The fusion algorithm is divided into two stages: the first stage adopts the multiscale transform based on the hybrid l0l1 layer decomposition and Gauss filter to decompose the source images into the structure-, large-scale-, and detail-layer images. Further, the previous fusion images were generated using a linear combination of one kind of modal image and the different feature layer images of the other type of modal image; this eliminated the differences between the images of the different sensors. The second stage enhances feature fusion and improves the fusion effect. The previous fusion images are decomposed by using non-down-sampling shear wave transform (NSST), and the low-frequency fusion images are respectively fused using principal component analysis (PCA) and local engineering texture; subsequently, the different fusion images are integrated by using local contrasting weighting to obtain the final fusion image of the low-frequency images. High-frequency images are respectively fused by using the local standard deviation matching degree of the exponential function and the local modified spatial frequency weighted average and then the different fusion images are integrated by using a weighted average to obtain the final high-frequency fusion images. Finally, the final fusion image is obtained by the inversion of the NSST. Results show that the fusion images quality have considerably improved and is sufficiently clear.

Globalization and automation of logistics and delivery services is accompanied with increasing risks of illegal goods and drugs being smuggled in postal and express packages, falsifying declaration information, and evading customs supervision and crackdown. Focusing on the schemes of drug smuggling through delivery channels, this study adopts the method of semi-supervised learning, using the features extracted from the case data of drug smuggling crimes through postal channels as labels, utilizing a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data for learning and prediction, and carrying out optimization and adjustment to improve accuracy and stability. In particular, the valid fields of 2299 cases data and validation data were obtained through text mining. The study applies four machine learning algorithms (decision tree, multilayer perceptron, support vector machine, and naive Bayes) to accurately predict presence or absence of hidden drugs in parcels sent through postal channels. Furthermore, this article compared and analyzed the specific code implementation from the perspectives of algorithm accuracy, cross-validation accuracy, and code response time.

 
Proving Linearizability of Concurrent Queues
Authors: Jie Peng Jie Peng , Jie Peng Tangliu Wen , Tangliu Wen Dongming Jiang
Published: November 2024

Linearizability is a commonly accepted correctness criterion for concurrent data structures. Concurrent queues are among the most fundamental concurrent data structures. In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for proving linearizability of concurrent queues, which make use of linearization of dequeue operations. The verification conditions intuitively express the “FIFO” semantics of concurrent queues and can be verified just by reasoning about the happened-before order of operations. We have successfully applied the proof technique to prove several challenging concurrent queues. We believe that our proof technique can be extended to the concurrent data structures which have the ordering requirements when their elements are removed.

 
An Average Temperature Feedback based PID Controller for Multi-Channel
Balanced Heating in Thermal Vacuum Test
Authors: Xin Chang Xin Chang , Xin Chang Bo Zang , Bo Zang Peng Gao , Peng Gao Xiaoke Li , Xiaoke Li Zongmin Zhao , Zongmin Zhao Ao Ye
Published: November 2024

With the development of aerospace technology, many devices under test (DUTs) in thermal vacuum tests require balanced heating. However, traditional PID controllers mostly focus on single-channel independent control, lacking effective solutions for the mutual influence among multiple channels. This paper proposes a PID controller based on average temperature feedback to address the issue of temperature imbalance in multi-channel heating. Firstly, this method calculates the difference between each channel’s temperature and the average of all channels’ temperature, and then feeds the difference into the input of the PID controller to real-time adjust the heating rates for each channel, ensuring balanced overall heating. Secondly, by detecting whether each channel has reached the lower limit of the set temperature range, the opportunity to exit the average temperature feedback is provided. Finally, a temperature acquisition and control synchronization system based on the EtherCAT network was built, providing an experimental platform for validating the proposed method. Through simulation and experimental validation, the proposed method not only reduces temperature difference among channels during the heating process, but also enhances the overall stability and robustness of the system. This makes it an effective solution for achieving precise thermal control in complex multi-channel environments.

This article constructs an automated recognition system for surface defect recognition of metal bars, which includes hardware components, recognition algorithms, and recognition systems. Firstly, a visual recognition hardware system was established, which includes the selection process of cameras and lenses, determining the hardware model and brand. At the same time, considering the reflective characteristics of the rod surface, the light source scheme of this system was explained. In terms of recognition algorithms, Mask R-CNN is used as the metal rod feature network. In response to the problems of information loss and aliasing caused by the reduction of pyramid feature channels and multi-level feature fusion in the feature extraction process of Mask R-CNN, a bottom-up reverse fusion path is proposed to be added to the original feature extraction network, fully utilizing shallow feature information. At the same time, a hierarchical attention mechanism and a difference region attention module are added to the path of obtaining the feature map; Finally, in the experimental stage, the construction of the visual detection system framework was completed, which proved the effectiveness and scientificity of the proposed method in terms of recognition accuracy and speed.

Based on the analysis of the actual processing environment, this paper first builds a fast detection system based on binocular vision for the detection of the machining accuracy of ship curved plates. The visual sensors and lenses in the system are analyzed and selected. After selection, the binocular vision is calibrated using Zhengyou Zhang’s calibration method, and visual distortion is corrected through matrix transformation. Then, in order to complete the calculation of the curvature of the ship’s curved board, a curvature calculation model for the ship’s curved board was constructed. The model can calculate the curvature information and depth information of the curved board, and then solve the curvature information and depth information models separately using the least squares method. Finally, to verify the accuracy of the visual system, a simulation experimental platform based on software and hardware was built. After simulation experiments, the curvature error probability and measurement time of the curved board were obtained, and the results met expectations.

Purpose: The technology acceptance model is the most widely used framework for exploring the intention to use technology products. With the proliferation of digital applications, factors such as affordance, gamification, social influence, and self-determination theory have all been included in discussions, but there hasn’t been a comprehensive research framework yet. Furthermore, despite various digital applications strive to capture consumers’ attention, the impact of word-of-mouth remains significant, but research in this area is still limited. Methods: To address this research gap, this study chose sports apps as the research subject, focusing on consumers’ experiences in Taiwan. It established a 3x3x2 research framework, consisting of three product design factors (functional affordance, gamification, and social influence), three self-determination factors (autonomy, competence, and social relatedness) and two behavioral responses (intention to continued use and word-of-mouth). Data for this study were collected through surveys and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: The study findings confirmed the effect of functional affordance and social influence on self-determination factors, and the effect of competence and social relatedness on intention to continued use and word-of-mouth. However, the effect of gamification is not significant and the effect of autonomy only applies to word-of-mouth. Conclusion: The findings help the future design and promotion of sports app. The research framework will contribute to the subsequent study on other digital applications beyond sports.

Este estudio se centró en la evaluación de la biodiversidad de especies dulcesacuícolas en un ecosistema particular, utilizando un muestreo estratificado para representar la diversidad en distintos puntos de recolección. Mediante técnicas de captura e identificación taxonómica, se documentaron las especies presentes y su distribución en el área de estudio. Los resultados evidencian una diversidad significativa, con especies endémicas que destacan la importancia ecológica del ecosistema. Se observará que la abundancia y composición de especies varían en función de parámetros ambientales como pH y temperatura, sugiriendo una estrecha relación entre la calidad del agua y la biodiversidad. La investigación concluye que la conservación de estos hábitats es esencial para mantener su diversidad biológica y estabilidad ecológica. Los datos recopilados aportan una base para futuras estrategias de conservación y políticas ambientales orientadas a la protección y gestión sostenible de los recursos acuáticos.
Measure by Measure: Measure-Based Automatic Music Composition with Modern Staff Notation
Authors: Yan Yujia , Duan Zhiyao
Published: November 2024

This paper introduces a hierarchical framework for automatic composition of polyphonic music in Western modern staff notation. Central to our framework, a music score is represented as a grid of part‑wise measures, where each measure is encoded using dual representations: a vector summarizing the content and a matrix facilitating alignment between different parts. This is achieved by designing a measure encoder–decoder, i.e., the measure model, that directly mirrors the object hierarchy of a part‑wise measure in modern staff notation. This grid‑like representation enables music generation algorithms to model temporal dependencies directly at the level of measures. We then demonstrate the application of our measure model using two generation paradigms: autoregressive models and conditionally specified distributions https://github.com/Yujia-Yan/Measure_By_Measure.
Timurlu Kaynaklarında Yıldırım Bayezid Anlatısı ve Ankara Savaşı
Authors: Yüksel Musa Şamil
Published: November 2024

The struggle for dominance over Anatolia between Yıldırım Bayezid and Emîr Timur, whose origins go back to the Battle of Kösedağ between the Mongols and the Seljuks in 1243, ended with the Battle of Ankara in July 1402. After Yıldırım Bayezid was defeated in this war, captured, and died while in captivity, the Ottoman Empire was dragged into the interregnum. For this reason, Ottoman historians have used many negative expressions about Emîr Timur, the winner of this war, which is one of the turning points of Ottoman and Turkish history. Due to these negative expressions, a bad image of Emîr Timur emerged in Anatolia. This bad image is echoed even in the novels written during the period of the Turkish Republic, which was founded five hundred years later. The issue of how Yıldırım Bayezid is viewed from the Timurid realm is a subject that is not emphasized much. In this study, we tried to answer the question of what kind of character Yıldırım Bayezid was depicted in Timurid sources. This character of Bayezid depicted in Timurid sources was shaped on the axis of the struggle for dominance with Emîr Timur and the battle of Ankara war, which ended this struggle.
Hacı Bayram-ı Velî ve Sultan II. Murad: Osmanlı Erken Döneminde Devlet-Tekke İlişkilerini Bayramîler Üzerinden Okumak
Authors: Şahin Haşim

Bayrâmîyya is a sect that left its mark on the founding period of the Ottoman Empire and began to be influential in the shaping of social and economic life, conquests and the establishment of social order from the time of Bayezid I. Although Bayrâmîyya takes its name from the great Sufi of Ankara, Hadji Bayram-ı Walî, his sheikh Sheikh Hamîd al-Din Aksarayî, who grew up in the dervish lodge of Alâeddin Ardabilî, the great-grandfather of Shah Isma’il from Ardabil, and who is widely known as Somuncu Baba, should be regarded as the pioneer of Bayrâmîyya. Somuncu Baba, who was highly respected by the Sultan Bayezid I. and recited the opening sermon of the Great Mosque (Ulu Cami) in Bursa, was one of the most powerful representatives of Ardabiliyya in Anatolia. The most important name he raised was Hadji Bayram-ı Walî, who was intertwined with the ahi traditions in Anatolia and appealed to a wide range of artisans and farmers. Hadji Bayrâm-ı Walî established a close friendship with the Sultan Murad II., visited the sultan in Edirne, played an active role in the establishment of Ottoman rule in Anatolia, and eliminated the atmosphere of hesitation that began with the Sheikh Bedreddin and his disciples rebellion in the context of government-sufi environment relations. The fact that one of his disciples, Ak Shams al-Din, became the greatest supporter of Mehmed the Conqueror during the conquest of Constantinople, and that the Bayrâmîs became the most influential sect in the capital and Anatolia during the reigns of Bayezid II. and Suleiman the Magnificent, are all attributable to Hadji Bayrâm-ı Walî.

Chelebi Mehmed (Mehmed I), who surpassed the interregnum period of Ottoman and sustained a second settlement era, carried the state one step further than his father did once. Thus he transformed into a ruler named as Sultan Hak (Sultan of Justice, Truthetc) who had been agrised by everyone. Chelebi Mehmed did not restrict his achievements only in politics but also he succeded in the scientific fields. Sultan Madrasah that he got built; turned Bursa into an essential science centre of the era through carry in gup the Ilmiyyah (Ulama) Organization, which started with Orhan Ghazi, to a higher level. As a consequence, it is seen that several ulama (scholars) carrying out their activities undercontrol of particularly the Aydinids, the Germiyanids and the Jandarids like many other beylics, happened to pass Bursa. This case brought a vivid scientific atmosphere along to the Ottomans inevitably. Haji Pasha, Sarı (TheYellow) Yakub, Kara (The Black) Yakub, Ahmedi, Dede Omer Rusheni, Molla Yegan and his sons, Kestallizade were some of the prominent scholars that been in Bursa from the Beyliks Region in this period. In this study it is going to be demonstrated that how Turkish originated scholars, who were gathered from the beylics, shaped the base element of the Ilmiyyah Organization as well as each and every stage of the bureaucracy nurturing the Ottomans rather than so called allegations about Ottoman bureaucracy’s being improved by devshirme (gathered) elements.
Osmanlı Devleti’nin Teşekkülünde Mevlid’in Rolü
Authors: Güleç İsmail
Published: November 2024

In this paper, two questions will be sought. First question is why was Mevlid copyrighted in Bursa, the capital of the Ottoman Principality? The second question is why has it been read with great interest among the people for centuries? Mevlid has attracted great attention in society since the date of writing and has been read. Among the reasons for this, Mevlid has been successful as a literary text, as well as the fact that his content is very valuable. However, these two alone are insufficient to explain the fact that Mevlid became almost the holy book of the people. Among the reasons for this, the political and faith movements of the era, as well as the official views of the state and the system to support the establishment of the system and facilitating the work has also played a major role. Mevlid was in demand and read not only among the Turks, but also among the non -Turkish nations that make up the empire. Thus, he contributed to the formation of a common belief between the Muslim people. In this study, it will be tried to draw attention to why and how Mevlid plays the role of the state's affairs of the state and the belief system of the society.
