Get PDFAbstract
In the last decade, the production and use of metal particles in the nanoscale spread are due to the latter efficiency in solving many obstacles in various fields of science, engineering, agriculture and medicine. Gold particles in the small scale show catalytic, magnetic, electrical, mechanical, biological and chemical properties due to the high surface-to-volume ratio where appearance of these particles interact and move higher in properties and strength. Several studies have obtained nano-particles of several types of metals such as silver, copper and gold from plants and microorganisms. The current study, thus, aimed at finding out the ability of the mustard plant root to collect gold particles(Au), as well as the mycelium of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum, where the examination technique using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to confirm the presence and accumulation of gold particles. It is vital using the biological system of the organism. This method is environmentally and friendlydoes not result in toxins or high use of energy. It is characterized by its low cost and high efficiency in obtaining results. Three different concentrations of colloidal gold solution were used in the current study 2, 4, 6 ml, which produced a concentration exceeding 6 ml. In deposition of the largest percentage of gold in each of the plant root and fungal hyphae
A Comparative Histological And Histochemical Study Of The Tongue Of Local Adult Ducks And Geese
No full textOur study aimed to determine the histological and histochemical composition of the tongue of both ducks (Anas Platyrhynchos) and geese (Anserini). Our histological study showed that the mucous membrane covering the tongue in local ducks and geese consists of a multi-layered epithelium covering the lamina propria, which differs in the degree of keratinization according to its location in the tongue, and that the thickness of the epithelium of the dorsal surface of the tongue gradually decreases from the front towards the root, while the epithelium increases in thickness towards the root. The ossified epithelium is located at the top and beginning of the body of the tongue, forming what is known as the nail of the tongue in both ducks and geese. The small and large conical papillae in various parts of the tongue, as well as the filiform papillae, are covered with erosive ossified epitheliu
DESIGN OF A SCADA SYSTEM FOR A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
Get PDFThis paper presents the design and implementation of a solar panel data monitoring system using a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. The system is built via the Siemens S7-1200 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and programmed using TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal V17 software. The system includes various sensors and instrumentation for monitoring solar panel performance, such as temperature sensors, current and voltage sensors, and irradiance sensors. The PLC collects data from these sensors and transmits it to the SCADA software, which displays real-time data on the graphical user interface (GUI). The system also includes features such as alarms and notifications for abnormal conditions, data logging for historical analysis, and remote access for monitoring and control from a central location. The system's reliability and efficiency are enhanced through the use of the S7-1200 PLC and TIA Portal V17 software, which provide advanced programming and automation capabilities. Therefore, this solar panel data monitoring system provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and optimizing the performance of solar panel systems, helping to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve overall system performance

A Simulation Model of a System-based Concentrated Solar Power System (CSP) for Maximum Solar Energy Harvesting Applications
No full textSolar energy has piqued people's curiosity since the dawn of civilization, and the technology for harvesting it has advanced at a rapid pace. The development of technology to increase the efficiency of the solar system is of critical relevance due to the energy difficulties that civilization has been facing. Scientists have used the solar concentrated system for several years since it allows for the concentration of solar energy into a concentrate, allowing for a significant increase in energy efficiency. A parabolic dish setup is described in this article as a dish-shaped concentrating collector that reflects solar energy onto a receiver located at the focal point. This concentrator is set atop a framework with assumption of a two-axis tracking system to track the sunlight. Typically, the acquired heat is utilized directly by a heat engine constructed on the receiver that travels with the dish. Typically, the acquired heat is utilized directly by a heat engine constructed on the receiver that travels with the dish. The suggested dish could achieve very high temperatures and might be utilized in solar reactors to generate high-temperature solar fuels. Even though dishes are seldom utilized commercially for power production, engines are now favored for power conversion.

Evaluating the Impact of Weather Conditions on the Effectiveness and Performance of PV Solar Systems and Inverters
Get PDFSolar photovoltaic (PV) systems have become an increasingly popular and
environmentally friendly source of renewable energy. However, the performance and
effectiveness of these systems can be significantly influenced by various weather
conditions. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of weather conditions on the
effectiveness and performance of PV solar systems and inverters. This paper utilizes a
comprehensive dataset of solar irradiance, temperature, wind speed, and other weather
parameters collected from multiple locations over an extended period. Various
performance indicators, such as power output, efficiency, and reliability, are analyzed
and compared under different weather conditions. The findings of this paper reveal the
significant influence of weather conditions on the performance of PV solar systems and
inverters. It is observed that variations in solar irradiance, temperature can lead to
fluctuations in power output and efficiency. High ambient temperatures, for example,
can negatively affect the performance of solar panels by increasing the operating
temperature and reducing their conversion efficiency. These events can cause physical
damage, reduce solar irradiance, and impair the functionality of inverters, leading to a
decrease in overall system performance. The research outcomes presented in this paper
provide valuable insights for system designers, engineers, policymakers, and investors in
the renewable energy sector
