The recovery of the materials that form part of the existing pavement structure and their subsequent mixing with the foamed asphalt makes it possible to obtain a base with significantly improved characteristics. In turn, the application of both surface treatments results in the improvement of the surface characteristics of the wearing course and, therefore, in the extension of the pavement's service life. The main objective is to show clearly and orderly the construction process of both the foamed base and the micro-folder.https://erpublication.org/page/view_issue/Volume-15-Issue-1Facundo Cortes-Martinez,Julio Roberto Betancourt Chavez,Juan Renteria Soto,Jhostin Yamir Esquivel Rodartehttps://www.erpublication.org/published_paper/IJETR3166.pdfThis paper describes the measurement of pollutant emissions (nitric oxides and carbon monoxide) in different natural gas burners: particularly, a swirl burner with different fuel injection typologies (co-axial and radial injection, with respect to the rotating air stream) and a premixed burner have been taken into account. As for the premixed burner, pollutant emissions have been related with thermal characterization of the reactant zone performed by thin thermocouples. In this case, a strong correlation with temperature and equivalence ratio has been observed. At the contrary, the swirl burner presents a strict dependence from the value of the air stream swirl number, which plays an important role for flame stabilization and fluid dynamic mixing process in the primary flame zone. Moreover, the radial injector in the swirl burner contributes to a general decrease of pollutant emissions, behaving similarly to the premixed burner, also as for the trend of CO and NOx emissions versus the equivalence ratio.https://erpublication.org/page/view_issue/Volume-15-Issue-1Giulio Solerohttps://www.erpublication.org/published_paper/IJETR3161.pdfA pillar of worldwide initiatives to help tackle iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) is iodized salt. Still, the instability of iodine is a major obstacle since during production, storage and cooking it can be lost and thereby reducing the potency of iodized salt. Stabilizers like dextrose, sodium thiosulfate, and potassium iodate are crucial for keeping iodine stable in salts. Emphasizing their mechanisms of action, uses, and public health connotations, this review examines the chemistry of iodine stabilizers in iodized salts. Research have shown that stabilizers make weak complexes or redox interactions with iodine, therefore increasing its salts retention. Particularly in nations or areas with high heat and humidity, the use of stabilizers in iodized salt could greatly increase iodine bioavailability. This study emphasizes the significance and chemistry of iodine stabilizers in iodized salt to guarantee that edible salt iodine fortification initiatives succeed.https://erpublication.org/page/view_issue/Volume-15-Issue-1Emmanuel Ekott ,Ubong Etukudohttps://www.erpublication.org/published_paper/IJETR3158.pdfAwareness of salt iodization programme and its benefits remains low among salt marketers and consumers, and this is important in salt iodization program. The effectiveness of salt-iodization programmes depends on the conservation of iodine concentration in salt at various stages of production and the supply-chain as well as the elimination of industrial salt in the food market. Iodization of salt is an effective and sustainable strategy to prevent and control iodine deficiency in large populations. Iodine is essential for good function of the thyroid, and its deficiency is of public-health importance. Most studies have revealed that commercial salt at production stage is iodized sufficiently to meet World Health Organization (WHO) standard. However, following laxity in policy implementation, monitoring and regulatory roles resulting in increasing access to non-labelled salt in the Nigerian market, salt iodization gains in the past decades are gradually being eroded. This paper reviews iodine stability and salt iodization in Nigeria.https://erpublication.org/page/view_issue/Volume-15-Issue-1Emmanuel Ekott,Ubong Etukudohttps://www.erpublication.org/published_paper/IJETR3149.pdfThis article focuses on the characterization of the propagation channel in an industrial 4.0 environment, with the aim of improving the accuracy of indoor localization systems. The context of the study is based on the challenges associated with wireless communication in a complex and dynamic environment, where the presence of metallic obstacles and multipath phenomena can degrade geolocation performance. To overcome these limitations, we conducted an experimental measurement campaign in an assembly workshop equipped with industrial robots and conveyors. Different channel probing methods were studied, including temporal and frequency techniques. The preferred approach is based on the use of a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to measure channel parameters in the frequency domain. The results obtained show the significant impact of reflections and robot mobility on signal quality, enabling us to propose several solutions for improving localization, including exploiting frequency diversity, merging several metrics (TDOA and RSS), and using equalizing filters to compensate for distortions induced by the channel. https://erpublication.org/page/view_issue/Volume-15-Issue-1Nkolo Bekono Thomas Steve,Baranowski Sylvie,Bocquet Michaelhttps://www.erpublication.org/published_paper/IJETR3143.pdf
