One well-known hazardous chemical that negatively impacts living things is cyanide. However, it is one of the active ingredients used by businesses across the globe in the food processing, pharmaceutical, mining, and cosmetics sectors. A significant amount of cyanide-containing pollutants are produced during the beneficiation of gold and other precious metals from ore and are released into the environment. Since the beginning of metal extraction from ore, the prevalence of cyanide contaminants from these industries has raised concerns about public health. This study discusses a variety of techniques, including new, chemical, biological, and natural ones, for cleaning the waste water from gold mines. Although there are no residual wastes and minimal operating costs with the natural detoxification method, metal-cyanide complexes are formed in the pond when cyanide reacts with various metals. Chemical methods, while now widely accepted, have several drawbacks, including the inability to completely degrade stable cyanide complexes, the need for reactants, specialized equipment, payment of royalties, and the generation of undesired secondary compounds. Because the bacteria can be easily and cheaply reproduced, and because their biotransformation ability allows cyanide to be converted into less toxic compounds, using acclimated bacteria to the contaminant is an appealing alternative.

Traditional voltage source inverters (VSIs) and current source inverters (CSIs) have been widely used in industry for a long time. However, neither the voltage source nor the current inverter can function as a buck-boost inverter. To perform as a buck- boost inverter, they need an additional boost or buck DC-DC converter. Due to this major drawback of VSI and CSI inverters, Z-source inverters (ZSI) have been getting attention over the last two decades. Different types of single- and three-phase Z-source inverters have been analyzed over the years. By addressing the above matter, this article represents a new single-phase cascaded quasi-Z-source impedance (C-QZSI) network inverter containing a modified unipolar SPWM switching scheme. In this study, the working principle of the modified unipolar SPWM technique and the proposed cascaded qZSI are discussed. It is observed that modified unipolar PWM schemes having an additional boost switch employed on a qZSI inverter circuit result in a larger boost voltage/current and improved THD at its load. The article also deals with the analysis, simulation results, and comparison of the proposed method with the QZSI topology having different control schemes. MATLAB/Simulink simulation software was used to perform all the simulations. The presented technique results in a voltage boost with a value of 417.6 V, which is 39% larger than the QZSI topology with a modified switch technique. In addition to that, it gives us a lower THD than the traditional qZSI topologies, with a value of 0.91%

Innovation is the “cause of the economic evolution” according to Schumpeter’s theory (Schumpeter, 1911). Organizations have to innovate their products, services, but also their managerial practices which refers to the expression “managerial innovation” used for the first time by Kimberly (1981). Managerial innovation has seen a renewed interest in going beyond the organizational and administrative innovation (Damanpour & Aravind, 2012). However, research on managerial innovation remains inferior to that on technological one, On the one hand, studies related to managerial innovation remain rare (Damanpour & Aravind, 2012; Duboulouz & Bocquet, 2013; Volberda et al., 2014; Walker et al., 2015). On the other hand, the existent and scattered literature highlights the difficulty regarding the identification of managerial innovation due to its abstract nature. It is in this perspective that our research aims to fill the gap related to the analysis centered on the distinctive characteristics of managerial innovation. Through a review of literature, the research aims to answer the following questions: 1. What are the intrinsic characteristics of managerial innovation? 2. What are the determinants and factors influencing the adoption of managerial innovation? 3. What are the main managerial innovations adopted so far? The review contributes to the state of art by offering a cartography of managerial innovation with concrete examples of practices qualified as managerial innovations thus making its conceptual delimitation and practical application easier.
This project looks at an alternative method for improving solar energy capture efficiency by incorporating a solar tracking mechanism with piezoelectric plates. Solar trackers increase energy output by ensuring that photovoltaic (PV) panels always face the sun as it moves across the sky. However, we think there is still room for further enhancing efficiency by capturing the electrical energy that static electricity can generate through the use of piezoelectric materials. Our design addresses this complexity by enabling our dual-function solar tracker to not only ensure that the panels of the PV solar system tend to the movement of the sun but also harness the energy of vibration forces due to wind and other movement tendencies. A micro-controller-actuated tracking system allows maneuverability of the panels in the direction of the sunlight at all times. Consequently, PZT plates at certain locations harvest mechanical energy from the surroundings and convert it into additional electrical energy. In order to test our concept, the solar tracker structure was compared in energy output with our additional piezoelectric system and without it. Key metrics included total generation energy plant PV system, available derivable and insuperable from the piezoelectric devices brought additional power gained. The results so far are insightful and show that there is an improvement in the efficiency of energy harvested, which offers hope for this merger of technology. Our project assists in the continuing development of such systems for other implementing states by pointing out how this multi-functional system is beneficial in increasing the generation of solar energy.

Healthcare and insurance systems face significant challenges in ensuring the secure portability and transfer of sensitive records due to fragmented infrastructures, data privacy concerns, and inefficiencies in data sharing. Current centralized systems that are aware of breaches, they are not compatible and reduce the degree of patient control or autonomy which in turn escalates the transfer between care giving institutions and insurance firms. To deal with these challenges, in this research, the BCIF-EHR model integrating the IoT Healthcare Security Dataset and the US Health Insurance Dataset is proposed. This new concept combines clinical IoT-based ICU data and financial insurance information into one format that supports secure decentralized record transfer. Blockchain network is applied for storing data in a decentralised and extremely secure manner, thereby ensuring that data cannot be manipulated once recorded while cloud systems ensure availability of large datasets in a real- time basis. Thus, the BCIF-EHR framework safeguards patient ownership of data, includes embedded smart contract for claim validation, and adheres to relevant rules such as HIPAA and GDPR for the elements of privacy. The approach is about preparing the data to standardization by using synthetic IDs, storing them using blockchain, and the use of cloud services for handling Big Data. Measures include the ability to transfer data within a stated time, execute transactions per time, or measure up to the set security standards. As the results presented indicate, there is a 30% decrease in operational downtime, and improved data security and integration capabilities of the framework prove the ability of such a system to eliminate existing shortcomings. As the technological framework of protecting disparate datasets while enabling efficiency in managing and transferring health and insurance records, BCIF-EHR optimizes heterogeneous datasets. It is with the view of redressing this situation that this study presents a novel perspective towards the advancement of current conventional health care and insurance systems technology
The project involves detecting traffic signal violations by vehicles and issuing e-challans through a combination of programming and hardware. Using RFID technology, which includes tags that store data and transmit it wirelessly to readers, the system identifies vehicles that break signals. The microcontroller compares the information from the reader with the stored details of the vehicle, and if a violation is detected, an e-challan is automatically sent to the vehicle owner's registered mobile number and the Regional Transport Office (RTO). The owner can pay the fine either in person at the RTO or online if linked to an electronic payment system. This system also facilitates toll collection using the same RFID tags. Through vehicle-to-roadside communication, electronic monetary transactions are made between the vehicle and the toll station. The RFID tags store a unique ID and related information for each vehicle. When a vehicle approaches a toll gate, the reader picks up the tag's data, and the toll fee is deducted from the user’s account. The system also checks for outstanding fines, road taxes, or insurance issues. If any charges are due, the toll gate remains closed until payment is made. Additionally, if the system identifies a stolen vehicle, a notification is sent to the nearest police station. All vehicle-related documents, such as ownership and insurance, are verified using the RFID tag.
