Green hydrogen represents a sustainable energy solution capable of supporting the global shift away from fossil fuels. In Algeria, with its abundant solar resources, this potential is significant. However, challenges related to water resource management and the energy cost of production limit large-scale implementation.

The proposed collector are integrated into the building design and constructed with masonry. Tests were conducted by varying the operating parameters which influence its performance, like the flow rate of the heat-absorbing medium, and the tilt of the collector using both coated and uncoated pebbles.

To construct roads for rising traffic volumes while preserving natural resources and materials, a better knowledge of road paving materials is required. The current study focused on the prediction of Marshall stability of asphalt mixes constituted of glass, carbon, and glass-carbon combination fibers to exploit the best potential of the hybrid asphalt mix by applying five machine learning models, i.

The accuracy and reliability for performing group tasks by multiple UAVs is highly dependent on the applied control strategy. The formation and trajectories of multiple UAVs are governed by two separate controllers, namely formation and trajectory tracking controllers respectively.
