The successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) process was used to form Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films on glass substrates, and deposition cycles of 5, 15, 20, and 25 were used to investigate the effect of the number of cycles on the structural and optical characteristics of the film. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) was determined to be a poly...

Reliable wireless communication needs a highly efficient Forward Error Correction (FEC) technique in order to counter the effects of noise, interference, and losses. Most existing FEC techniques add too much redundancy and create extra latency, thereby reducing the efficiency of bandwidth utilization. Hence, the purpose of the current research is t...

Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) require precise controller tuning to maintain voltage stability in modern power grids. Fractional Order Proportional-Integral (FOPI) controllers offer enhanced flexibility over integer-order designs, yet existing tuning methods rely on weighted-sum formulations that conflate conflicting objectives through ...
