Prediction of neutron-induced reaction cross-sections at around the 14.5 MeV neutron energy is crucial to calculate nuclear transmutation rates, nuclear heating, and radiation damage from gas formation in fusion reactor technology In this research, the new approach of (n,α) reaction cross-section is presented. It has been assessed by utilizing the artificial neural network (ANN) when compared to more advanced algorithms, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm-based ANN can be exceedingly fast. The correlation coefficients for a training R-value of 0.99283, a validation R-value of 0.991190, a testing R-value of 0.97337, and an overall R-value of 0.98515 demonstrate that Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm-based ANN is well suited for this purpose. . The obtained results were compared to theoretical calculations of TALYS 1.95 nuclear code. As a consequence, it has been demonstrated that the ANN model can be used to determine the systemic study for (n, α) reaction cross-sections.

This paper proposes a robust maximum power point tracking algorithm based on a super twisting sliding modes controller. The underlying idea is solving the classical trajectory tracking control problem where the maximum power point defines the reference path. This trajectory is determined through two approaches: a) using the simplest linear and multiple regression models that can be constructed from the solar irradiance and temperature, and b) considering optimum operating parameters derived from the photovoltaic system's characteristics.

To improve the current indoor positioning algorithms, which have insufficient positioning accuracy, an ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning algorithm based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with improved Kalman filtering is proposed. An alternative double-sided two-way ranging (ADS-TWR) algorithm is used to obtain the distance from the UWB tag to each base station and calculate the initial position of the tag by the least squares method. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to correct the covariance matrix of the Kalman filter, and the improved Kalman filtering algorithm is used to filter the initial position to obtain the final position of the tag.

Biofiltration is a method of pollution management that utilizes a bioreactor containing live material to absorb and destroy pollutants biologically. In this paper, we investigate mathematical models of biofiltration for mixing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for instance hydrophilic (methanol) and hydrophobic ( -pinene). The system of nonlinear diffusion equations describes the Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzymic chemical reaction.

Hydrothermal carbonization was applied to taro peel wastes to produce hydrochars using a facile and environmentally friendly process. Four different entities were prepared: hydrochar (TPh), phosphoric-activated hydrochar (P-TPh), and silver@hydrochars (Ag@TPh, Ag@P-TPh). The elemental compositions of the single and composite hydrochars were confirmed by EDX.

Optimizing Resistance spot welding, often used as a time and cost-effective process in many industrial sectors, is very time-consuming due to the obscurity inherent within process with numerous interconnected welding parameters. Small changes in values will give effect to the quality of welds which actually can be easily analysed using application tool. Unfortunately, existing software to optimize the parameters are expensive, licensed and inflexible which makes small industries and research centres refused to acquire.
