Production of biodiesel from waste fish fat through ultrasound-assisted transesterification using petro-diesel as cosolvent and optimization of process parameters using response surface methodology
subject: Cosolvent; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; Free fatty acid; Homogeneous catalyst; Optimization; Ultrasonication
description: Biodiesel is a highly promising and viable alternative to fossil-based diesel that also addresses the urgent need for effective waste management. It can be synthesized by the chemical modification of triglycerides sourced from vegetable origin, animal fat, or algal oil. The transesterification reaction is the preferred method of producing biodiesel. However, the non-miscibility of alcohol and oil layer causes excessive utilization of alcohol, catalyst, and a substantial reacting time and temperature. In the current investigation, transesterification of waste fish oil was performed with petro-diesel as cosolvent, under the influence of ultrasound energy. The combination of both techniques is a unique and efficient way to minimize the mass transfer limitations considerably and hence reduces the parameters of the reaction. It is also a sincere effort to comply with the principles of green chemistry. The optimum reaction conditions were obtained using response surface methodology (RSM) that were as follows: molar ratio of methanol to oil 9.09:1, catalyst concentration of 0.97 wt%, cosolvent concentration of 29.1 wt%, temperature 60.1?, and a reacting time 30min. Under these listed conditions, 98.1% biodiesel was achievable, which was in close agreement with the expected result. In addition, the cosolvent removal step from the crude biodiesel was also eliminated as it could be employed as a blended fuel in CI engines. The Author(s) 2024.

Enhanced Design and Performance Analysis of a Seven-Level Multilevel Inverter for High-Power Applications
subject: Efficiency; IGBT; Inverter; PWM; THD
description: The structure and performance analysis of a seven-level multilevel inverter is discussed in this study. Due to their capacity to get around the drawbacks of traditional two-level inverters, like high voltage stress on power devices and harmonic distortion, multilevel inverters have attracted a lot of attention lately. Multiple voltage levels can be produced by the seven-level multilevel inverter which is being proposed because it uses a sequential arrangement of power sources and capacitors. The design methodology involves selecting appropriate power devices and capacitance values to achieve the desired voltage levels while minimizing losses and ensuring reliable operation. Total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter efficiency, and voltage stress on power devices are all considered as part of the performance analysis. In comparison to conventional two-level inverters, simulation results indicate that the proposed seven-level multilevel inverter offers lower THD, increased efficiency, and reduced voltage stress. This research contributes to the advancement of multilevel inverter technology and its potential applications in various power conversion systems. 2023 IEEE.

Strategic Power Factor Management for Elevated Lift and Hoist Performance
subject: Capacitance Bank; Energy Consumption; Induction Motor; Power Factor Correction; Reactive Power Compensation
description: The paper outlines the design and simulation of active power factor correction for a 100 hp induction motor using MATLAB/Simulink. In this system, the induction motor functions as the primary load, operating with a low power factor. Different load scenarios are simulated to examine the motor's performance. The current drawn from the supply is verified under varying conditions, both with and without the implementation of a variable capacitance bank. The power system network comprises apparatus such as Induction Motors, Power Transformers, and Induction Furnaces, contributing to a low power factor. The resultant low power factor leads to elevated energy consumption. To mitigate this, power factor correction is imperative. Utilizing a variable capacitance proves instrumental in enhancing the power factor. The capacitor compensates for a portion of the reactive power, consequently reducing the total reactive power drawn from the source. This reduction in reactive power contributes to an overall decrease in power consumption. The research focus is on the effective correction of the power factor for a 100 hp induction motor through comprehensive design and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink, providing valuable insights into the impact of variable capacitance on current draw under diverse load conditions. 2024 IEEE.

subject: fast Fourier transform; multilevel inverter; photovoltaic; pulse width modulation techniques; total harmonic distortion
description: Introduction. In recent years, a growing variety of technical applications have necessitated the employment of more powerful equipment. Power electronics and megawatt power levels are required in far too many medium voltage motor drives and utility applications.

Performance investigations of five-level reduced switches count ?-bridge multilevel inverter
subject: H-bridge multilevel inverter; pulse width modulation; switching losses; total harmonic distortion
description: Introduction. This research paper describes a simple five-level single-phase pulse-width modulated inverter topology for photovoltaic grid applications. Multilevel inverters, as opposed to conventional two-level inverters, include more than two levels of voltage while using multiple power switches and lower-level DC voltage levels as input to produce high power, easier, and less modified oscillating voltage. The H-bridge multilevel inverter seems to have a relatively simple circuit design, needs minimal power switching elements, and provides higher efficiency among various types of topologies for multi-level inverters that are presently accessible. Nevertheless, using more than one DC source for more than three voltage levels and switching and conduction losses, which primarily arise in major power switches, continue to be a barrier. The novelty of the proposed work consists of compact modular inverter configuration to connect a photovoltaic system to the grid with fewer switches. Purpose. The proposed system aims to decrease the number of switches, overall harmonic distortions, and power loss. By producing distortion-free sinusoidal output voltage as the level count rises while lowering power losses, the constituted optimizes power quality without the need for passive filters. Methods. The proposed topology is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink with gating pulses and various pulse width modulation technique. Results. With conventional topology, total harmonic distortion, power switches, output voltage, current, power losses, and the number of DC sources are investigated. Practical value. The proposed topology has proven to be extremely useful for deploying photovoltaic-based stand-alone multilevel inverters in grid applications.

description: Introduction. Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters (CHB-MLI) are becoming increasingly used in applications such as distribution systems, electrical traction systems, high voltage direct conversion systems, and many others. Despite the fact that multilevel inverters contain a large number of control switches, detecting a malfunction takes a significant amount of time.

A Performance Investigations of Modular Multilevel Inverter with Reduced Switch Count
subject: Inverter topology; multilevel inverter; pulse width modulation; reduced switches; THD
description: A multilevel inverter is a special variant of converter for dc-Ac conversion in medium and high voltage and power requirements. In this paper, a novel configuration with fewer switches needed has been developed for the staircase output voltage levels. Two direct current voltage sources and eight transistors are required to synthesize five levels across the load using the conventional topology. The modular topology has two dc voltage sources, and six switches with a five-level output. Using the optimum multi-carrier pulse width modulation approach, the voltage quality is enhanced and total harmonic distortion is reduced. Furthermore, the viability of the proposed topology in contrast to the conventional cascaded H-bridged multilevel inverter with five levels is established by presenting comparable results showing reduced power losses with varied modulation indexes and increased efficiency. The simulation analysis has been carried out using the MATLAB/SIMULINK tool. 2022 IEEE.

Flat Unglazed Transpired Solar Collector: Performance Probability Prediction Approach Using Monte Carlo Simulation Technique
subject: Monte Carlo simulation; probability prediction; solar energy; unglazed transpired solar collector (UTC)
description: Engineering applications including food processing, wastewater treatment, home heating, commercial heating, and institutional heating successfully use unglazed transpired solar collectors (UTCs). Trapping of solar energy is the prime goal of developing an unglazed transpired solar collector. The UTC is usually developed in and around the walls of the building and absorbs the solar energy to heat the air. One of the key challenges faced by the UTC designer is the prediction of performance and its warranty under uncertain operating conditions of flow variables. Some of the flow features are the velocity distribution, plate temperature, exit temperature and perforation location. The objective of the present study was to establish correlations among these flow features and demonstrate a method of predicting the performance of the UTC. Hence, a correlation matrix was generated from the dataset prepared after solving the airflow over a perforated flat UTC. Further, both strong and weak correlations of flow features were captured through Pearsons correlation coefficient. A comparison between the outcomes from a linear regression model and that of computational simulation was showcased. The performance probability for the UTC was interlinked with correlation matrix data. The Monte Carlo simulation was used to predict the performance from random values of the flow parameters. The study showed that the difference between the free stream value of temperature and the value of temperature inside the UTCs chamber varied between 15 and 20 C. The probability of achieving system efficiency greater than 35% was 55.2%. This has raised the hope of recommending the UTC for drying and heating where the required temperature differential is within 20 C. 2022 by the authors.

On building up a closer psychic distance as a fundamental ground of relationship between India and Korea: Focusing on Jeonlanam-Do in Korea
subject: IMS; India; international market selection; Jeonlanam-Do; Korea; psychic distance
description: The Uppsala model (Johanson and Wiedersheim-Paul, 1975) identifies cultural differences, market attractiveness, and core competence of nations or firms as the key factors affecting international market selection. Among these three factors, psychic distance caused by cultural differences is regarded as the most important factor. However, the psychic distance between India and Korea is not very close. The main objective of this paper is to examine the ways to boost economic relationships between India and Korea by building up a closer relationship of psychic distance. We suggest Jeonlanam-Do including Gwangju Metropolitan City (JDGC) in Korea as a stepping stone to make both countries' psychic distance closer as JD has several common grounds of intangible assets with India which includes its adherence to democracy, human rights and peace; the diverse food culture; and the religious zeal to Buddhism. We propose these common interests as a way to enhance the awareness of national brand 'India' in Korea which will attribute to a strategically developed economic relationship between Korea and India. 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..

Comparison of the inter-item correlations of the Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) between Western and non-Western contexts
subject: BFI-10; Brief scales; Inter-item correlations; Omega coefficient; Personality traits; Western vs. non-Western countries
description: The Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10; Rammstedt & John, 2007) is one of many short versions of personality inventories that measure the Big Five trait dimensions. Short versions of scales often present methodological challenges as a trade-off for their convenience. Based on samples from 28 countries (N = 10,560), the current study investigated inter-item correlations estimated using Omega coefficients within each of the five personality characteristics measured by the BFI-10. Results showed that inter-item correlations were significantly lower, in the sample data from non-Western countries compared with the Western countries, for three of the five personality traits, specifically Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Emotional Stability. Our findings indicate that the psychometric challenges exist across different cultures and traits. We offer recommendations when using short-item scales such as BFI-10 in survey research. 2022 Elsevier Ltd

Fractional study of a novel hyper-chaotic model involving single non-linearity
subject: Hyperchaos; Mathematical modeling; Numerical method; Numerical simulation
description: The applications of hyperchaotic systems (HCSs) can be widely seen in diverse fields associated with engineering due to their complicated dynamics, randomness, and high delicacy and sensibility. In the present work, we aim to investigate a new hyper-chaotic system involving a single non-linearity under the fractional CaputoFabrizio (CF) derivative for the first time. In fact, there is no previous study using fractional derivatives in this system. A new mathematical system using a fractional-order operator will be designed with the novel operator. The CaputoFabrizio non-integer operator is aimed to be employed to capture complex nature. In order to solve the extracted dynamical system, a quadratic numerical scheme is applied. This study contains stability and convergence sections for the considered method. Moreover, numerical results of the problem under various values of fractional orders and different values of initial conditions (ICs) are provided to show the performance of the suggested scheme. Figures of solutions for each dependent variable can be observed. 2022 The Author(s)

Performance optimization for extraction, transformation, loading and reporting of data
subject: Business Intelligence; Data Warehouse; ERP Services; ETL tool; NetWeaver; Performance Optimization; SAP
description: Enterprise Resource Planning has become the cornerstone for making data acquisition and related operations more efficient. Recent advances in hardware and software technologies have enabled us to think about performance optimization. Ninety percent of ERP projects spend more than their allocated budgets and have exceeded the time schedule for implementation. There are many factors that can be attributed to the low success rate of implementation but one main factor is the performance of the ERP package itself. In this paper, we have described the Business Intelligence tool and database which is related to Systems, Applications and Products. It is popularly known as SAP. Based on this, a new, mulch-dimensional performance metric is proposed for extracting, transforming, loading and reporting the data. 2015 IEEE.

Photon, Electron, Proton and Alpha Particle Interaction Parameters of Different Clays
subject: Clay samples; Mass attenuation coefficient; Mass stopping power; Radiation shielding; Zeff
description: Modern life has made human beings and nature vulnerable to harmful radiations at different levels. This can be a great health hazard of our times. Since there is no probability of dodging the harmful influence, the practical way out is having protective shielding. Lead, the most efficient attenuator in current use has the drawbacks of being heavy, toxic and capable of producing secondary radiations. Other attenuators concrete, glass etc. have similar deficits in use. This is the context of the scientific world's quest for a perfect shielding material which can provide protection from harmful radiations effectively, economically and environment friendly. This work attempts a computational study on the radiation shielding efficiency of different types of clays, understanding of which would enable its applications for radiation shielding. The presence of high Z elements and the layered structure of clay along with its good thermal stability make it ideal filler for an effective radiation shield. In this work, we have performed a systematic study of the mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic number and electron density of various clay samples. 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..

Financial capability and financial wellbeing of women in community-based organizations: mediating role of decision-making ability
subject: Capability; Community-based organizations; Decision-making ability; Financial inclusion; Financial literacy; Social work; Wellbeing
description: Purpose: Financial capability is considered to be an important concept that has drawn the attention of many world nations. While the literature suggests various studies on financial capability and financial wellbeing, focus on their combined significance has been limited. The purpose of this paper is to examine how financial capability affects the financial wellbeing of women in community-based organizations and how decision-making ability mediated this relationship. Design/methodology/approach: In total, 1,000 women who are associated with the community-based organization Kudumbashree in the state of Kerala, India participated in the survey-based study. Findings: The structural equation modelling results show that there exists a significant relationship between financial capability and the financial wellbeing of women in CBOs. Further, decision-making ability was identified as a significant mediator in this relationship thus establishing a partial mediation effect. Practical implications: The financial social workers can focus their activities on promoting financial capability and decision making aspects of women from middle/low income families to facilitate their financial wellbeing. The scope for financial socialisation and proper orientation is more for the women associated with the community based organisations. This opportunity can be made use by the government authorities and other practitioners to change their financial outlook and contribute towards the empowerment of these women from the grass root level. Originality/value: The studies related to financial literacy and financial inclusion are available in the Indian context, but the conceptualization of financial capability is still an under-researched area in India. Hence, this study is an attempt to explain the capability-wellbeing relationship from a financial point of view in the Indian context, and further establishes its connection with the individual's decision-making ability. To strengthen the rese…
