Explainable AI-assisted sustainable performance optimization of Nano-enhanced rapeseed oil blends in ci engines for optimized engine operation

This study investigates the influence of advanced fuel injection timing on the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with a rapeseed oil emulsion–pentanol blend (70D25GS5P) supplemented with 150 ppm TiO₂ nanoparticles. Exper...

Integrated Multi-Row Onion Production Under Contrasting Seasonal Conditions: Seeder Optimization, Nutrient Management, Crop Protection, and EIQ-Adjusted Sustainability

Reliable establishment of direct-seeded onion requires coordinated control of sowing geometry, nutrient supply, crop protection, and resource use. This study combined Hartley-4 optimization of a four-section, multi-row ridge seeder with a two-year randomized complete block experi...

Flexural strengthening of RC beams with NSM technique by vertical and inclined orientation of CFRP laminate

Abstract Retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with FRP materials addresses issues of structural deterioration, offering a robust alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This study experimentally investigates the flexural strengthening of RC beams using near-surf...
