type: item
description: The rapid urbanization and climate change coupled with the old infrastructure place more pressure on the urban water systems. That is why new and evidence-based solutions of management are needed. The presented paper discusses the efficacy of using smart sensors together with advanced data analytics to enhance the management of water resources in urban engineering development based on a mixed approach through the experimental design. We deployed flow, pressure, and water quality smart sensors network in some metropolitan areas of water distribution. These coprocessors reacted with high-resolution real time data. With the application of time-series analysis and predictive forecasting and optimization analysis, through an analytical modeling, we could observe the level of the system that was being operated before implementation and after the implementation of the system. These results show that there is a major decrease in the quantity of non-revenue water, greater stability of pressure, enhanced reliability in anticipating the demand and provable savings of energy in the pumping processes. Real-time anomaly detection allowed the leakage and operational problems to be spotted in time minimizing the response time and service failures. Qualitative evaluation also helped in the enhancement of the efficiency and transparency of the decision-making process and the operation between the stakeholders of water utilities. Overall, the results suggest that smart sensor-based data analytics may have a significant impact on urban water management systems to improve the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of the systems. This provides us with a scaling, and practical method of the urban infrastructure preparation in the coming generation.

Advancements in Sustainable Building Materials for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure in Coastal Regions
type: item
description: Coastal regions are increasingly vulnerable to climate related stressors such as increases in sea level, salt exposure and intense weather patterns. This implies that we must create infrastructure materials that are long-lasting and environmental friendly. This paper experimentally evaluated the innovations in sustainable building materials of climate-resistant infrastructure within coastal environments using a mixed-methods approach. Mechanical performance, survival under simulated marine conditions, resistance to chloride penetration and corrosion, and life-cycle testing measured embodied carbon and energy effects, and the response of quantitative laboratory and pilot-scale tests to mechanical testing. The findings indicate that sustainable material systems are more effective in preventing moisture, chloride, and equivalent damage of concrete materials over time compared to ordinary materials, such as geopolymer concretes, recycled aggregates composite, and bioreinforced material. This does not impact on strength of the structure. Environmental research indicated that embodied carbon reduced significantly and therefore, climate adaptation and mitigation are both beneficial. Huge construction capability and adherence to the coastal engineering criteria were also indicated by qualitative evaluations. In general, the findings indicate that sustainable building materials are one of the significant steps towards constructing robust, low impact coastal infrastructure. They will provide a scientifically tested substitute of conventional construction materials in the light of increasing risks of climate change.

type: item
description: This study investigates the design and scale-up of green hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting, focusing on the challenges of efficiency, sustainability, and scalability. The research evaluates the performance of various catalysts, including platinum-based and non-precious metal alloys, under different operating conditions. Our findings demonstrate that while platinum catalysts provide superior efficiency, non-precious metal catalysts, such as iron-nickel alloys, offer a more cost-effective and sustainable solution for large-scale applications. The developed numerical model demonstrated that temperature and production rate established a clear connection but higher temperatures led to reduced hydrogen output. Data from the techno-economic analysis demonstrates that PEM electrolysers have the shortest payback duration thus making them the best choice for commercial implementation due to their financial feasibility. PEM electrolysers begin with increased initial environmental impact but their efficient operations demonstrate enhanced sustainability during operation. Hydrogen production sustainability increases substantially when solar and wind energy sources become integrated into the electrolysis process to reduce overall environmental effects. The presented framework delivers a competent synthesis of performance outcomes with cost efficiency and environmental advantages to maximize electrochemical hydrogen production methods. Upcoming research should work to extend the lifespan of non-precious metal catalysts together with optimizing electrolyser operation protocols and exploring new materials for producing affordable and effective green hydrogen.

description: This study explores the integration of real-time deep learning algorithms and sensor fusion techniques for autonomous drone navigation, focusing on the use of edge AI to optimize system performance under constrained computational resources. The research demonstrates the critical role of multi-sensor fusion—incorporating camera, LiDAR, IMU, and GPS—in improving the accuracy and reliability of drone navigation systems. The hybrid fusion model achieved an impressive 95% accuracy in environmental perception, significantly outperforming individual sensor modalities. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in object identification applications possess 50 ms of inference time enabling real-time operation. The reinforcement learning (RL) models exhibited superior decision-making capabilities through their slower operation speed (150 ms). The hybrid RL model cut down 100-meter route travel time to achieve 25 seconds which optimized overall route planning effectiveness. According to measurements the CNN model operated with 3.5 W as the most economical solution while the hybrid approach provided reasonable power-management compared to performance output. A sensor fusion model decreased its response time to 90 milliseconds which secured quick reactions needed for changing environments. Edge artificial intelligence demonstrates its ability to enhance autonomous drones through better navigation precision and decision capabilities and efficiency which makes them suitable for real-time energy-efficient applications such as environmental observation and search and rescue operations. Results demonstrate that autonomous navigation requires both deep learning and sensor fusion to build a stronger dependable autonomous navigation system.

Developing Advanced Coatings to Overcome Challenges in Corrosion Resistance for Marine and Industrial Applications
type: item
description: Corrosion is a major challenge in both marine and industrial applications, leading to substantial economic losses and safety concerns. This study investigates the development of advanced corrosion-resistant coatings that incorporate nanomaterials and self-healing agents to enhance protection against environmental degradation. Coatings containing graphene and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized and subjected to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), salt spray testing, and mechanical property evaluations. The results demonstrated superior corrosion resistance of nanocoating since their impedance values performed better at 10 kHz and 100 kHz. Traditional coatings demonstrate corrosion rates at 0.12 mm/year but nanocoating present lower rates at 0.02 mm/year. The laboratory tests verified that nanocoating possess durable qualities due to their increased hardness level and improved scratch resistance alongside increased adhesive strength. The lifetime of coatings increased through self-healing agents that restored corrosion resistance but graphene-based coatings reached 85.6% in recovery capabilities. Research into environmental sustainability demonstrates that nanocoating have better replacement potential over traditional coatings since their biodegradation characteristics improve while toxicity reduces. Updated coatings provided a double benefit which paid back initial investment costs due to longer product lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements. Nanocoating used together with self-healing systems demonstrate practical industry and marine applications because of their extended lifespan and sustainable advantages and cost-effective characteristics. Future anti-corrosive coatings built from innovative concepts appear in this work to address persistent corrosion issues during the operational lifetime of important infrastructure
