AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance for Identifying Failure-Prone Components in Industrial Equipment
This research is focused on the integration of advanced machine learning methods with real- time vibration and acoustic signal data to develop a smart predictive maintenance (PdM) system that can detect failure-tendency components of industrial machinery before catastrophic failure. The prime objective is to reduce unplanned downtime, enhance operational efficiency, and enable cost-effective maintenance planning …
Circular Economy in Material Science Recycling & Reuse of Electronic Metal Wastes
Circular Economy (CE) adoption in material science emphasizes sustainable design and resource recovery through biodegradable polymers, modularity, and cradle-to-cradle (C2C) principles. These innovations aim to extend product lifespans, minimize maintenance, and facilitate material recovery, thereby reducing dependence on virgin resources and limiting waste. This report explores the application of CE principles to e-waste management and …

Effect of Mortar Joint Thickness on the Mechanical Properties of Clay Brick Masonry Walls
Mortar joint thickness significantly influences the mechanical behavior of masonry structures, yet its quantitative effects remain inadequately characterized. This study investigates the impact of three mortar joint thicknesses (10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm) on the compressive and shear strength of clay brick walls through comprehensive experimental testing. Eighteen wall specimens were constructed using …

Ethical Considerations in Medical Imaging Navigating Patient Rights, Data Integrity and Technological Innovation
Medical imaging has become a cornerstone of modern healthcare, enabling early diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring across a wide spectrum of conditions. From the first X-ray images in the late 19th century to contemporary applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology, imaging technologies have transformed clinical practice. However, these advances raise profound ethical concerns. …
