    Kinetics of dye removal using Fe3O4 nanoparticles and pulsed white-LED illumination
    Removal of dyes with the aid of photocatalytic nanomaterials illuminated with continuous-light sources has been given substantial attention in the recent years. In the present work we study the efficiency of dye degradation using some alternative photocatalytic nanoparticles under condition of pulsed illumination. Our specific purpose is to investigate the removal of rhodamine 6G dye basing on suspended Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf> solution. The experiments are carried out in the batch mode when the effect of the exposition time (ranging from 30 to 150 min) on the dye removal is examined under both continuous and pulsed white-LED illuminations. Different pulsed-light frequencies and duty cycles are tested. We estimate the concentration of rhodamine 6G in the mixed solution following from its absorption spectrum measured with a UV-Vis spectrometer and determine in this manner the percentage of dye removal. Our main conclusion is that Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf> nanoparticles enable removing efficiently the rhodamine 6G dye under pulsed white-LED illumination. In particular, more than 90% of the dye is removed when the duty cycle is equal to 25% and the frequency to 30 kHz. The equilibrium state of this process is achieved in about 60 min.

    Fe and Cu powders were mixed at a 50:50 ratio. Then, Fe-Cu alloys were prepared using the ball milling technique with different milling times of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 h. The crystalline structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and it was found that the optimum milling time was 30 h. The homogeneity of the Fe and Cu elements in the Fe–Cu alloys was analyzed using the scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) mapping technique. Additionally, the crystal orientation of the Fe–Cu alloys was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To fabricate the cathode for nitrate removal via electrolysis, an Fe–Cu alloy milled for 30 h was deposited onto a copper substrate using mechanical milling, then annealed at 800 °C. A pulsed DC electrolysis method was developed to test the nitrate removal efficiency of the Fe–Cu-coated cathode. The anode used was an Al sheet. The synthesized wastewater was prepared from KNO<inf>3</inf>. Nitrate removal experiments from the synthesized wastewater were performed for durations of 0–4 h. The results show that the nitrate removal efficiency at 4 h was 96.90% compared to 74.40% with the Cu cathode.

    In this article, we proposed to measure the heights of countermovement jumps which are recorded in term of vertical leap by using the Wii Remote infrared camera. According to the physical principles, positions of the movement were detected based on the rules regarding conservation of energy, motion under gravity, and coordinate system. The obtained results were compared with that of the slow-motion measurements. The experiment involved 30 basketball players whose jump results were slightly deviated from the vertical measurement of the coordinate system. Therefore, the results should be calibrated each time the new system is installed.

    There are a number of factors that affect the quality control of an osmotic product. One of these is the concentration of the osmotic solution. There are several ways to measure solution concentration, such as optical measurement method, freezing point temperature measurement method, wave principle measurement method, viscosity and specific gravity measurement method. Saline solution concentration of the osmotic solution based on contact angle. The experiments showed whenever the saline solution concentration increased, the contact angle measured on the acrylic substrate increased as well. Their relation is also the linear correlation. Lastly, the developed software evaluated the saline solution concentration based on the contact angle close to the prepared saline solution concentration. The measured concentration was linear correlation with R-squared value of 0.996 that can be accurately applied on concentrations of 5% to 30% with maximum error of 4.72%.

    Automated method for measuring the energy gap of p-n junction semiconductor diodes with the temperature-voltage method
    An automated system for measuring the energy gap E g of a p-n junction semiconductor diodes was presented in this study. The system, based on temperature-voltage (T-V) measurement, was designed and developed as a teaching tool to support teaching for undergraduate students. The energy gap of diodes was measured by varying the diode temperature from 273 to 343 K and by measuring the voltage drop across the diode while the bias current of diodes was kept constant at a specific value. In the proposed system, an Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller was employed to automatically acquire the temperature and voltage drop across the diode. T-V data were plotted, and then the slope and intercept were used to calculate the energy gap by a simplified diode equation. In this system, the temperature and voltage of the two diodes were measured simultaneously at different constant bias currents in the range of 10 μA-10 mA. The average E g value of 1.22 eV obtained in this work is in good agreement with that reported in the literature.

    Optimizing fabrication processes for scalable production of flexible thermoelectric modules: A case study on self-powered IoT systems
    This study explores the optimization of fabrication processes for flexible thermoelectric generators (FTEGs) to enhance their performance and scalability for industrial applications, with a focus on integrating them into self-powered Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The research investigates the impact of silicone layer thickness and applied fabrication pressures on the mechanical stability, energy harvesting efficiency, and power output of FTEGs. Results demonstrate that reducing the thermal conductivity of the silicone filler and optimizing the fabrication pressure significantly improves the performance of FTE modules. The optimized FTEGs, featuring a series-parallel configuration, achieve a power density of 5.2 mW/cm² under a temperature difference of 50 °C, surpassing prior benchmarks. The developed system efficiently harvests waste heat, charges a battery, and powers an IoT module for real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and carbon monoxide levels. These findings highlight the potential of FTEGs as a sustainable solution for energy harvesting and self-powered industrial monitoring applications.

    In this work, we demonstrate that CuI films can be obtained by the liquid–phase iodination method with the chemical reaction time only being 1 min between Cu<inf>3</inf>N and aqueous iodine solution at room temperature. This is a simple and eco-friendly method with high transparency and low resistivity. The Cu<inf>3</inf>N precursors were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering using different N<inf>2</inf> partial pressures. The effect of nitrogen content of precursor (Cu<inf>3</inf>N) on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of CuI thin films was discussed. Electronegativity property was used to explain the growth mechanism of CuI films prepared by different nitrogen content in the precursor. By growing the CuI films with a N<inf>2</inf>:Ar gas ratio of 5:2, the average transmittance achieved was 75% in the visible spectral range, and the lowest resistivity achieved was 3.67 × 10<sup>–2</sup> Ω cm. These results suggest that the liquid iodination method using Cu<inf>3</inf>N film as precursor (N<inf>2</inf>:Ar gas ratio of 5:2) was suitable for preparing high-quality CuI films for application in transparent electronics.

    Wearable electronics and wireless IoT sensors are increasingly expected to operate in a self-powered manner. However, their practical deployment remains limited due to the lack of compact, flexible, and sustainable energy sources. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs), which convert body heat into electricity, present a promising solution but are typically hindered by small temperature gradients and the requirement of bulky heat sinks that compromise flexibility. To address these challenges, we developed an ultra-thin flexible thermoelectric generator (FTEG) integrated with a radiative cooling (RC) layer that passively enhances heat dissipation under natural convection. The device, fabricated using high-performance thermoelectric materials on a soft silicone substrate, maintained a total thickness of just 2.26 mm. Finite element modeling and experimental validation confirmed that the RC layer effectively increased the temperature gradient across thermoelectric legs, significantly improving the output power compared to conventional graphite-based or no-cooling designs. The FTEG achieved a maximum normalized power density of 3.51 μW/cm<sup>2</sup> under temperature conditions representative of wearable use (T<inf>skin</inf> of 32 °C and T<inf>ambient</inf> of 26 °C). The harvested energy was then stored using a power management circuit and capacitor. This stored energy was successfully used to power a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensing module, enabling stable wireless transmission driven entirely by body heat. These results highlight the practical potential of integrating passive radiative cooling into flexible thermoelectric systems, paving the way for high-performance, battery-free wearable electronics and autonomous IoT applications.

    This paper presents a low-cost vertical jump height measuring device based on the time-of-flight technique. A capacitive mat was developed and used as a sensing element to sense the athlete's feet. The capacitive mat was made from aluminum foils that dimensions of the capacitive mat ware with a width of 50.3 cm x length of 70.6 cm. The signal conditioning circuitry that was used as an analog front-end for measuring the capacitive was also described. The time difference between when athletes jumped off and reached the ground was calculated by a microcontroller. The jump height was recorded and stored via the computer. A total of 27 athletes, weighted between 48 kg to 115 kg were used as a sample. The testing results have shown that the proposed system has a percentage difference of 18.16%.

    Effects of LED illumination on callus induction from petals of Karaked and Scarlet chrysanthemums cultivated in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/I NAA and 4 mg/l Kinetin, under white LED light (PPFD 30±2 µmol/m2/s) and red to blue light in the ratios 30:10, 40:15, and 30:3 (PPFD 50±2 µmol/m2/s) for 16 h. It was determined that a light ratio throughout 4 weeks culture period had no impact on the fresh weight of callus. Conversely, varying light proportions yield distinct callus dry weights. Upon evaluating cultivar parameters, it was determined that ‘Karaked’ exhibited more fresh and dry weight compared to the callus of the ‘Scarlet’. Analysis of Karaked’s callus showed that callus cultured under 30:3 red to blue LED light exhibited the largest concentrations of all photosynthetic pigments, the greatest levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and total phenolic compounds, and the lowest EC<inf>50</inf> value for DPPH free radical inhibition. In the case of the Scarlet chrysanthemum, following 8 weeks of callus induction, it was observed that a light ratio of red to blue at 40:15 yielded the maximum concentrations of chlorophyll a and carotenoids. No statistical difference was seen in the quantity of chlorophyll b. The MDA content of Scarlet’s callus cultivated under white LED light was the highest, and the EC<inf>50</inf> value for DPPH free radical inhibition was also the highest. Callus produced under red to blue LED light ratios of 30:10, 40:15, and 30:3 exhibited greater quantities of phenolic compared to callus cultured under white LED light.
