Adaptive Production Scheduling in Multi-Machine Manufacturing Environments
Abstract: For manufacturing processes to meet evolving market demands, they must be executed in the most efficient manner while maintaining flexibility against unanticipated disruptions. Often, traditional scheduling methods overlook dynamic variability and real-time interruptions. An inverse scheduling framework for a multi-machine flowshop system is proposed in this research with the primary objective of makespan minimisation. Several issue situations are analysed to validate the algorithmic efficacy, and metaheuristic techniques are used to …

Harmonizing Traditional Crafts with Contemporary Creative Innovation
Abstract: Modern design emphasizes simplicity, functionality and innovation, focusing on efficiency and minimalism. When allied with tradition, it enriches spaces with cultural depth, craftsmanship, and practices that respect history. As sustainability grows central, traditional techniques offer insights into resource efficiency and cultural continuity. The synergy between modern design and tradition is often misconstrued as a tension between historical continuity and contemporary progress. Many argue that modern architecture, with its emphasis on …

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based MPPT for PV Systems Under Partial Shading: A Hybrid Metaheuristic-Optimized Control Framework.
Abstract: Partial shade and quickly changing environmental conditions make Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) arrays particularly difficult. In these situations, traditional algorithms frequently fail to find the global optimum or experience sluggish convergence and steady-state oscillations. To obtain reliable, real-time MPPT under non-uniform irradiance, this research suggests a hybrid control architecture that combines a deep recurrent reinforcement learning (DRL) agent with metaheuristic-based parameter optimization and a digital-twin training …

Wheelchair Design Analysis by Using Ethnographic Research
Abstract: This work focuses on benefits of introducing ethnographic research into specifically design engineering field. Ethnographic research is an emerging branch of research which uses scientific techniques like anthropology and sociology. Ethnographic research is done through participant observations and field work [5]. In ethnographic study, minds of people or groups of people are studied. Such method of research can be very useful in analyzing the reliability of a design of engineering …

Sustaining Artisan Livelihoods through Community Cooperative Housing: A Socio-Spatial Study of the Kumbhar Community in Pune, India
Abstract: This research addresses the problem in contemporary community housing. Housing is delivered as a physical product, while the social, economic, and cultural systems that sustain community life are largely ignored. In the resettlement of the Kumbhar (potter) Community in Pune, equal land was allotted without cohesive architectural planning, which has led to fragmented spatial organisation, underutilised work areas, conflicts over resources, unclear boundaries, and a decline in economic efficiency due …

Intentional Unsustainability in Waterfront Regeneration: A Case Study of Sabarmati Riverfront Ahmedabad
Abstract: Indian urban riverfronts have largely been neglected and have lost both on ecological and urban aspects. Large tracts of riverfront lands are often encroached, both illegally and quasi-legally, and essential flood plains have been destroyed. Against this background, the development of the Sabarmati riverfront was an opportunity to reenergize Ahmedabad and unfortunately became a pilot project for other cities. The project reclaims about 200 hectares of land and creates around …
