Finite Element Analysis of the Surface Mounted Permanent Motor Without Stator Excitation
type: item
description: This paper presents an electromagnetic analysis of the brushless DC (BLDC) surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor using 2D finite element analysis (FEA). The no-load characteristics of the three-phase BLDC SPM motor are numerically computed, and the results are analysed in detail. The back EMF waveform of the three-phase BLDC SPM motor is computed when stator windings are not supplied with current, and its harmonic analysis is carried out using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). The cogging torque is computed without stator current excitation. The no-load electromagnetic results are discussed to analyse their influence on the performance of the three-phase BLDC SPM motor.

Artificial Intelligence–Driven Imaging Advances in Lung Fibrosis: A Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Lung fibrosis is a chronic and progressive illness where there is pathologic tissue scarring, which affects lung architecture and respiratory organ functioning. It is caused by several factors, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), radiation-related injury, tumour-related fibrosis, and post-COVID-19 complications, and all of them are associated with similar pathophysiology. This review investigates and summarises studies published from 2015 to 2025 on biological processes, clinical symptoms, and technological innovations in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung fibrosis. It emphasises the way that artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) models, such as quantitative computed tomography (CT) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have enhanced the process of early detection, disease classification, and medical progression forecasting. The computational models, such as the agent-based and Monte Carlo simulations, which are used to study fibrotic dynamics, are also discussed in the review. In general, the combination of molecular knowledge, imaging, and AI-based systems can be considered a major next step in the creation of personalized diagnoses and better treatment outcomes in chronic fibrotic lung diseases.

Enhancing Facial Recognition Performance with Data Augmentation in Occluded Environments
type: item
description: Facial recognition systems frequently face challenges in accurately identifying individuals when critical facial features are obscured by occlusions such as masks, sunglasses, or scarves. These scenarios degrade the reliability of recognition models, especially in real-world environments. Data augmentation has emerged as a powerful strategy to improve model generalisation by artificially increasing dataset diversity and simulating occlusion-rich conditions. This study investigates the role of augmentation techniques, which include rotation, mirroring, zooming, and brightness adjustment, in enhancing recognition accuracy under partial and full occlusions. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that models trained with data augmentation achieve notable improvements over non-augmented baselines. For instance, average recognition accuracy improved from 72.4% to 86.3% under face mask occlusions, from 70.1% to 84.7% under sunglasses occlusions, and from 68.9% to 82.5% under scarf occlusions. When augmentation was combined with illumination normalisation, further gains were observed, with overall accuracy reaching 88.9% and F1-scores exceeding 87%. These results confirm that data augmentation substantially improves resilience against occlusions, while combined augmentation pipelines provide additional robustness in variable lighting and pose conditions. The findings highlight data augmentation as a foundational strategy for developing more resilient facial recognition systems. This work advances recognition performance in occlusion-heavy environments, with implications for applications in security, surveillance, and identity verification.

A Novel Back-to-Back Antenna Design with Dual Vertical Polarization for Enhanced Broadband Performance
type: item
description: The concept of wireless power transmission was first proposed by Nikola Tesla. He suggested that he could transfer power through the air. The radio waves and microwaves in the air are captured by the antenna and transferred to the destination. The receiver antenna receives the input energy and powers up the system. However, the first rectifying antennas (rectennas) were developed, enabling the conversion of microwave energy into DC power. Rectennas have undergone significant modifications, pushed by the growing demand for Wireless Power transmission and energy generation in many applications, including IoT devices & bio-medical implants. This paper presents the novelty of rectenna design that leverages a planar antenna topology and a high-efficiency rectifier circuit. The design is optimized using a combination of simulation and experimental techniques, significantly improving power conversion efficiency (PCE) and power obtained. The effects of various design parameters, such as antenna geometry, rectifier topology and input power levels, were investigated and optimized for maximum performance. This enhanced rectenna system has a peak power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 70% and a power output of 100 mW, making it compatible for powering low-power electronic devices.

A Robust Framework for 2D Human Face Reconstruction from Half-Frontal Views in Low-Quality Surveillance Footage
type: item
description: This paper proposes a robust framework for reconstructing 2D human facial images from half-frontal views, primarily captured under low-quality surveillance conditions. A custom MATLAB-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to support the complete pipeline, including frame extraction, enhancement, and face reconstruction. Representative frames are extracted and enhanced for video inputs using one of three techniques: histogram equalization, contrast stretching, or logarithmic transformation. Reconstruction involves detecting a single eye from the half-frontal image, followed by horizontal flipping and concatenation to generate a symmetric full-frontal face. The reconstructed faces are validated using the Viola-Jones object detection algorithm to confirm the presence and alignment of facial features. Quantitative evaluation uses the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Jaccard Index (JI) to measure image quality and geometric accuracy. The proposed method is tested on publicly available datasets and a custom-designed dataset reflecting real-world surveillance challenges such as low resolution and poor illumination. Experimental results demonstrate that the framework delivers accurate and visually coherent reconstructions with low computational overhead, making it suitable for real-time surveillance and facial analysis applications.

Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid Nucleotide Virus Classification with Machine Learning
type: item
description: Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) viruses are a major focus in virology because they cause many different types of human illness. DNA viruses' biology, transmission, and pathogenicity can be better comprehended if they are first properly categorized. Recently, machine learning has proven to be an effective method for studying massive amounts of biological data, such as DNA viral sequences. Here, we give a high-level overview of utilizing machine learning to categorize DNA viral sequences. We address supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning strategies that have been used for DNA viral sequence classification. The data's high dimensionality, highly variable sections, and the requirement to differentiate between closely related viral strains are only a few of the difficulties we emphasize in DNA virus sequence classification. The FASTA Tool was used to retrieve the dataset from the NCBI database. The data collected included three human gene family sequences and six virus sequences. We employed six machine learning methods to classify the DNA viruses (Sars-Cov-1, Mers-Cov-2, Ebola, Dengue, Influenza, Synthase, Ion Channel, and Transcription Factor) with 98% accuracy.

An Experimental Study on Determining the Strength Properties of FRC with Numerous Mix Proportions
type: item
description: Extensive research is being conducted globally on incorporating fibres into concrete to enhance its mechanical properties. This study aims to evaluate the strength characteristics of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) with varying mix proportions. 18 concrete samples of M-25 grade were prepared, incorporating different percentages of steel and glass fibers. Six samples contained glass fibres (GF) at 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight of cement, and six contained steel fibres (SF) at the same percentages. Additionally, two samples were prepared with a combination of 5% glass fibres and 10% steel fibres and two samples with 10% glass fibres and 5% steel fibres. These were compared to a control sample without fibre reinforcement. The compressive strength of the FRC was assessed at 7 and 28 days. The findings indicate that higher percentages of glass fibers had a notably negative impact on compressive strength, while the inclusion of steel fibers had a comparatively lesser effect. The maximum compressive strength was observed by including 5% steel fibres at 28 days. However, increasing the fiber content beyond this percentage resulted in a reduction in compressive strength. The lowest compressive strength was recorded in samples containing 15% glass fibers at 28 days.

Examining the Effectiveness of Current Construction Methods in Pakistan
type: item
description: The construction industry in Pakistan is not updated in comparison with the international market and it also does not fulfill the demands of the local market. With the increase in the population and housing demand, construction methods are evolving to cater to the increase in the population requirement for housing and shelter. With time, the cost of the labor, material, and rent of construction equipment also increased, which negatively impacts the growth of the construction industry in developing countries like Pakistan. Therefore, modern construction methods are being explored. Modern methods include construction with the help of precast, panelized building systems, etc. The topic of this research is especially focused on analyzing the effectiveness of conventional construction techniques used in Pakistan concerning cost overrun, time overrun, and other issues in the construction industry. This research also analyzes some of the new construction methods, i.e., Industrial Building System, Modular Construction, Hybrid Construction, and Panelized Building System, which are used in the construction industry of Pakistan and how these methods are effective as compared to conventional ones i.e., masonry and Reinforced Frame structure with help of literature review and a questionnaire filled out by industry experts. This research study finds out that mostly the construction industry in Pakistan is using conventional methods, while panelized building system is used in different projects as part of the project while industrialized building system is almost neglected.

Numerical Simulation and Parametric Investigation ofIncremental Sheet Forming Process for MultilayerSandwich Panels
type: item
description: The multifunctional structure, i.e., multilayer sandwich panel (MLSP), exhibits properties like high rigidity, good specific strength, and lightweight and thermal resistance. Structural performance is attributed to these properties, making MLSP very favourable for producing highly reliable structures and increasing fuel efficiency due to its lightweight structure. Forming MLSP through conventional forming techniques such as deep drawing and punching is very challenging because it not only limits the formability but also requires special tooling and produces other undesirable effects. This work researched the feasibility of MLSP's formation through the single-point incremental sheet forming (SPIF) process. The SPIF process was modelled in the LS-DYNA to form MLSP into a benchmark shape. A tensile test was performed to evaluate the mechanical properties of the AL-1050. In the simulation, six more cases were also evaluated to see the effects of tool diameter, feed rate, and step size on the forming forces, formability, maximum percent thinning, etc. CATIA software generated the numerical code (NC) for the constant Z-level tool path and fed it to the CNC machine to perform the SPIF experiment on the MLSP. The larger tool diameter contributed to smaller forming forces, good formability, and less fracture area. The crack area and wrinkling tendency increase with the increase in feed rate first and then decrease with a further increase in feed rate. There was good agreement between the simulated and experimental formed geometrical shapes, proving that SPIF is feasible for forming multilayer sandwich structures.

Optimizing the Corrosion Protection Performance Of Epoxy Coatings for Cu Substrates: An Electrochemical Perspective
type: item
description: Saline water triggers the inevitable progression of corrosion risk in marine equipment, driven by spontaneous electrochemical reactions. This study used dip coating technique to prepare copper (Cu) substrates coated with epoxy resin. The study aimed to determine the optimal coating curing temperature and the epoxy-hardener ratio to exhibit maximum corrosion resistance for the epoxy-coated Cu. A comprehensive analysis of the curing temperature within the designated 40 to 120°C range and molarity of 0.6M-1.8M was conducted. The corrosion response of Cu substrates was evaluated using the electrochemical measurements of linear polarization resistance (LPR), potentiodynamic curve, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The study reveals that the corrosion resistance (Rc) notably increases until reaching its peak at the optimal temperature value of 90°C and epoxy-hardener ratio of 2:1. Furthermore, a correlation between corrosion rate and molarity increased results in the deterioration of the coated surface.

Experimental Modelling of Helical Piles Subjected to Axial Loading
type: item
description: In the construction sector, axial loads have traditionally been supported by piles. There hasn't been sufficient comparative study related to the economics and viability aspects of conventional and helical piles up to this point in natural soil condition. The current study was conducted to test the behavior of helical piles subjected to axial loading and the results were compared with the conventional pile counterpart. For this, a total of eighteen experiments were performed with varying number of helical piles either single or multi helical piles in a raft. Helical piles were penetrated into ground, vertical load of 512 kg was applied and the settlements were recorded with the gauges installed. The reduction in settlement was found to increase due to increasing the number of piles, inter distance between the piles and increasing the number of helices. Nine double helical piles were observed to reduce settlement by 80.5% when compared to nine conventional piles. Due to the smaller number of piles needed to support the applied axial load when employing helical piles as opposed to conventional piles, the cost was greatly lowered.
