Recycling of Waste Clothing: Opportunities for Resource Conservation and Value Creation

Authors: Associate Professor M MGanganallimath, Associate Professor S J Sanjay, Abhishekh M Hiremath, Prajwal Mane, Raghavendra I Yaragudri, Siddalingesh M Matoli

Abstract: The fast expansion of the textile and garment sector has greatly increased waste clothing creation, causing major environmental and resource management concerns. Most wasted clothing are disposed of by landfilling or incineration, leading to resource depletion, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Waste clothes recycling has emerged as an efficient approach for encouraging resource conservation and fostering a circular economy. This study discusses important recycling technologies, including mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biological processes, and their potential for transforming textile waste into value-added goods such as regenerated fibers, composites, insulating materials, geotextiles, and construction items.The study also addresses how new technologies, like as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, can enhance the effectiveness of textile collection, sorting, and recycling. Additionally, the economic and environmental advantages of recycling are emphasized, including less carbon emissions, decreased landfill waste, resource conservation, and job creation. There is also discussion of current issues such contamination, insufficient infrastructure, mixed-fiber separation, and policy constraints. The analysis comes to the conclusion that effective waste clothing recycling presents important chances for value development, sustainable resource management, and the shift to a circular textile economy.

QFusionNet: A Quantum-Enhanced Hybrid Learning Framework for Intelligent Early Cancer Detection

Authors: Nagabathula Poorna Praveen, Assistant Professor K V V Ramana

Abstract: Early and accurate cancer detection is essential for improving patient survival rates and enabling timely clinical intervention. However, conventional diagnostic approaches and classical machine learning techniques often encounter challenges in processing high-dimensional biomedical datasets due to feature redundancy, computational complexity, and limited predictive performance. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a quantum-assisted intelligent framework for early cancer detection by integrating advanced quantum-inspired preprocessing, feature optimization, and hybrid predictive modeling techniques. The proposed methodology employs Quantum-Normalized Adaptive Refinement (Q-NAR) to enhance data quality through effective preprocessing, Wrapper Component Attribute Analysis (WCAA) to rank significant biomedical features, and Swing L-Bee Mustard Optimization (SLBMO) to identify the optimal feature subset while reducing dimensionality. Finally, a Quantum Boosted Vector Fusion Network (QBVFN) is developed to perform accurate cancer classification and treatment outcome prediction. The proposed framework is validated using biomedical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) within a Python-based implementation environment. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves superior prediction accuracy, improved feature optimization, and enhanced computational efficiency compared with conventional machine learning models. The obtained results highlight the effectiveness of integrating quantum computing principles with machine learning techniques to support next-generation intelligent cancer diagnosis and precision healthcare systems.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Prediction Of Asphalt Binder Aging And Pavement Distress

Authors: Nishant Kumar, Jitendra Chauhan

Abstract: Asphalt binder aging significantly affects the long-term performance and durability of flexible pavements, leading to various pavement distresses such as cracking, rutting, and raveling. Accurate prediction of asphalt binder aging and associated pavement deterioration is essential for effective pavement design, maintenance planning, and lifecycle cost management. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have emerged as powerful tools for modeling complex, nonlinear relationships among environmental factors, material properties, traffic loading, and aging characteristics of asphalt binders. This work explores the application of Artificial Intelligence–based methods for predicting asphalt binder aging and pavement distress. Various AI techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and hybrid optimization models are examined in terms of their ability to analyze large datasets and provide accurate predictions. The study existing literature on AI-driven predictive models that incorporate factors such as temperature variation, oxidation processes, traffic load, binder composition, and environmental conditions. Furthermore, the paper highlights the advantages of AI models over traditional empirical and mechanistic methods, including improved prediction accuracy, adaptive learning capability, and efficient data-driven decision-making. The work also identifies current research gaps, challenges in data availability, and opportunities for integrating AI with mechanistic–empirical pavement design approaches. Overall, the study provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in AI-based prediction of asphalt binder aging and pavement distress, emphasizing its potential to enhance pavement performance evaluation, optimize maintenance strategies, and support sustainable infrastructure development.

Mechanistic–Empirical Design Of Perpetual Pavements Using Recycled And Modified Asphalt Materials

Authors: Gaurav kumar, Jitendra Chauhan, Umesh Rathod

Abstract: The increasing demand for durable, sustainable, and cost-effective roadway infrastructure has led to significant advancements in pavement engineering, particularly in the development of perpetual pavements. This research presents a comprehensive analysis of the Mechanistic–Empirical (M–E) design approach for perpetual pavements incorporating recycled and modified asphalt materials. The M–E design methodology integrates mechanistic analysis of pavement responses (stress, strain, and deflection) with empirical performance models to predict long-term distress such as fatigue cracking, rutting, and thermal cracking. The study critically evaluates the performance of recycled materials including Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS), and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), along with modified binders such as polymer-modified asphalt, crumb rubber-modified bitumen, and nano-modified binders.

An Intelligent Explainable Diagnostic Framework for Clinical Evaluation of Metabolic Syndrome

Authors: Sayyed Yasmin Sultana Begum, Associate Professor M.Jyothi

Abstract: Accurate and transparent clinical evaluation of Metabolic Syndrome using radiographic imaging remains a significant challenge due to the subjective nature of manual interpretation and the limited explainability of conventional deep learning models. Although recent advances in artificial intelligence have substantially improved automated disease classification, the lack of model interpretability restricts their adoption in real-world clinical environments where transparency and trust are essential. This paper proposes an Explainable and Interpretable Smart Diagnostic Framework that combines deep convolutional feature learning with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques to provide both accurate predictions and clinically meaningful explanations. The framework incorporates comprehensive image preprocessing, hierarchical feature extraction, multi-scale severity classification, and explanation-driven decision support through visualization and feature attribution mechanisms. Attention-based localization and feature contribution analysis enable clinicians to identify the anatomical regions and predictive factors influencing the diagnostic outcome, thereby enhancing model transparency and clinical confidence. Furthermore, training on heterogeneous radiographic datasets improves robustness, generalization, and adaptability across diverse patient populations. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves high diagnostic performance while providing reliable interpretability, making it an effective decision-support system for intelligent clinical assessment and early disease severity evaluation.
