This study investigated the ramifications of black carbon (BC) emissions on human health during the winter season of December 2019 to February 2020 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. BC, arising from incomplete combustion of fossil and biofuels, underwent meticulous measurement of densities, concentrations, and emissions at two pivotal sites. Employing low-volume air samplers with Quartz filters and subsequent analysis with an Aethalometer (Soot scanner, OT21, USA), the study unveiled monthly average BC densities of 1.

At present, structural optimization is a highly demanding area of research in engineering. Engineers aim to minimize material in a body while maintaining its usability and safety at the same time. Developing a user-friendly program to optimize a structure using the finite element method (FEM) is the goal of the current study.

This paper shows the efficacy of a novel urban categorization framework based on deep learning, and a novel categorization method customized for cities in the global south. The proposed categorization method assesses urban space broadly on two dimensions-the states of urbanization and the architectural form of the units observed. This paper shows how the sixteen sub-categories can be used by state-of-the-art deep learning modules (fully convolutional network FCN-8, U-Net, and DeepLabv3+) to categorize formal and informal urban areas in seven urban cities in the developing world-Dhaka, Nairobi, Jakarta, Guangzhou, Mumbai, Cairo, and Lima.
