Oil and gas facilities operate under demanding conditions where equipment failures can significantly affect production availability, operational safety, and lifecycle costs. Conventional Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodologies provide a structured framework for maintenance decision-making; however, their implementation remains largely qualitative and highly dependent on expert judgement. This study proposes an integrated Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) optimization framework ...

Biogas generation through the anaerobic digestion of organic matter is one of the crucial technology interventions that brings about the transformation of the fossil fuel dependent energy system to a renewable energy based one. Biogas production needs further development and optimisation for the technical, economic, and environmental aspects to be fully marketable and economical. Thus, a broad knowledge of the reaction kinetics involved in the breaking down of organic matter by microbes into bio...

An architectural tour of our rural areas around the world showcases unique expressions of cultural identity through our buildings, spatial layouts, and decorations, often overshadowed in urban environments; Chad is no exception. Authors present their strategies for promoting local identities. In Chad, the architect-urban planner Senoussi Ahmat Senoussi oversees the women of Gaoui as they enhance their techniques in earthen decoration. Also, the architect ROGER Boriata studied the variation of tr...

In the current research work, attempt was made to evaluate the tail pipe exhaust CO emission deviations through cerium oxide (CeO₂) nano particle involvement in Madhuca indica biodiesel (MIB). The Madhuca indica biodiesel is extracted from the seeds of the corresponding plant, and then it is processed to derive the biodiesel. The derived biodiesel is then blended with the normal diesel fuel with different propositions. The amount of CO emission percentage variation of the biodiesel bl...
