Abstract: The growing trend of the fitness culture and preventive nutrition has led to the demand of organized and evidence-based systems of meal-preparations. Nutrition based kitchens respond to this demand offering calorie controlled, macro based and goal oriented food that promotes muscle building, fat loss as well as athletic performance. The studies have always indicated that, when people are fed on professionally prepared, nutritionally optimized food, their level of dietary adherence, metabolic response, and training outcomes are better than when people prepare the food on their own. Also the ready-made healthy food assists in coping with the most widespread limitations, including time, decision fatigue, and irregular nutrient consumption. Research on personalized and sports nutrition points out the fact that diets that are consistent with individual fitness objectives enhance energy balance, body make-up and post- workout management. Protein rich and nutrient-dense functional diets also increase satiety, enhance muscle protein synthesis, and overall diet quality especially in individuals with a high physical activity. Nutrition-oriented kitchens use such principles as dietitian regulation, exact portion- control, and calculated macro- distribution in relation to clinical and sports nutrition practices. In contemporary nutrition services, technology is an important ingredient. The digital platform and mobile applications that focus on the user allow customization of the meal, tracking progress, and motivation of behaviour. Properly designed UI/UX systems have a great positive influence on engagement, compliance, and user satisfaction. In addition, meal-preparation services paired with app-observation proved to reinforce the long-term adherence and health outcomes. Generally, studies have indicated that nutrition-prep kitchens could be used as a remedy to modern dietary issues because they combine the element of convenience and scientifically tested nutritional habits. They fill the disconnect between individualized dieting planning and the actual practice, and assist athletes, gym-goers and common consumers to attain long-term health and fitness objectives. The paper assesses the operational model, digital integration, user experience, and nutritional efficiency of Nutri-Fit Kitchen by making it a revolutionary system in the contemporary health- conscious food-oriented business.

Abstract: Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems are increasingly adopted to minimise industrial wastewater discharge; however, they generate concentrated brine streams rich in dissolved minerals. This study focuses on the recovery of magnesium hydroxide from ZLD wastewater using a controlled precipitation method and optimisation of key process parameters. The influence of pH (9–12), temperature (25–60°C), and reaction time (30–120 min) on recovery efficiency was systematically evaluated. Maximum recovery efficiency of approximately 91% was achieved at pH 11, 45°C, and 90 minutes reaction time. The recovered magnesium hydroxide exhibited satisfactory purity and demonstrated effective performance in neutralisation and contaminant removal tests. These findings are consistent with earlier studies on magnesium recovery from brine systems (Almousa et al., 2024; Yong et al., 2024).

Abstract: Efficient digital filtering is critical for modern signal processing applications. This work presents an Adaptive Distributed Arithmetic (ADA)-based FIR filter designed for single-channel and scalable multi-channel configurations on FPGA. The proposed design incorporates error- controlled approximation and optimized computation to reduce LUT usage, power consumption, and processing delay. Implementation using the Xilinx Vivado environment demonstrates improved area efficiency and speed while maintaining acceptable signal quality. The results indicate that the ADA approach is well- suited for low-power, high-throughput FPGA-based DSP applications.

Abstract: In many industrial applications, maintaining a steady water level in tank systems is crucial. The design and analysis of proportional (P), proportional-integral (PI), and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers for a single-tank water level control system are presented in this study. MATLAB/Simulink is used to create and construct a mathematical simulation model. Rise time, settling time, overshoot, and steady-state error are used to assess the controllers. The P controller has steady-state error, the PI controller decreases error but increases overshoot, and the PID controller offers ideal performance with better stability and quicker reaction, making it appropriate for efficient water level control, according to the results.

Abstract: Achromatopsia is a rare inherited retinal disorder characterized by the absence of cone photoreceptor function, resulting in color blindness, photophobia, nystagmus, and reduced visual acuity. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), have transformed ophthalmic diagnostics and opened new avenues for early detection and treatment planning. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of achromatopsia, focusing on its clinical features, genetic basis, diagnostic approaches and therapeutic developments, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven methodologies. The paper also explores the integration of AI in retinal imaging, genotype–phenotype correlation, and gene therapy optimization. Finally, challenges, limitations and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract: Train collisions are one of the critical safety concerns in railways, which could result from human error, signal failure, communication delay, or reduced line of sight owing to complex terrain. This paper proposes a low-cost intelligent TCPS designed using ESP32 microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors, ESP-NOW wireless communication, and an automatic servo-based braking mechanism. The trackside unit constantly monitors the movement of the train through two ultrasonic sensors and calculates real-time distances for potential head-on collision detection. When the system identifies a threat, it issues an instantaneous emergency braking signal to the onboard units, which trigger the servo-driven brake assembly. Further, the proposed system is integrated with regenerative braking to recover the kinetic energy for recharging the lithium-ion battery supply present in the system. Experimental testing on a prototype railway track has shown high detection accuracy, quick wireless communication, and reliable automatic braking. The proposed system gives a scalable, modular, and energy-efficient alternative to conventional railway safety mechanisms that can be integrated with state-of-the-art signalling and AI-based prediction in future applications.

Abstract: The rapid expansion of urban populations has significantly intensified waste generation, straining the efficiency of traditional collection methods that rely on static, fixed schedules. Such conventional systems often result in overflowing bins, inefficient collection routes, and escalated operational costs. This paper proposes a comprehensive Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) infrastructure designed to modernize Smart City waste management. Unlike existing single-task architectures, the proposed framework integrates a multi-tiered hierarchy of LoRaWAN device classes to manage services of varying complexity. At the foundational level, smart bins utilize ultrasonic sensors and low-power microcontrollers to monitor fill levels and environmental conditions. Higher-level smart drop-off containers facilitate user interaction and support asynchronous downlink queries for real-time data exchange. Data is transmitted via LoRa gateways to a centralized cloud-based dashboard, enabling municipal authorities to monitor bin status and dynamically optimize collection routes. Experimental results suggest that this scalable, energy-efficient IoT paradigm not only prevents bin overflow through automated threshold alerts but also reduces fuel consumption and environmental impact. The integration of diverse LoRaWAN node classes provides a robust, cost-effective solution for real-time urban process control within the Smart City ecosystem.

Abstract: In an era where financial transactions are increasingly digital, the threat of cyber fraud has become a growing concern for both institutions and individuals. With every swipe, click, or transfer, there's a risk that sensitive data could be exploited by attackers using sophisticated techniques. As fraudsters become smarter, our defenses must evolve too. This chapter presents a practical approach to fraud detection using MATLAB, focusing on a simple, transparent, and explainable rule-based system. Rather than relying on complex machine learning models that can act as "black boxes," this method uses intuitive rules based on transaction amount, time, and location to flag potentially fraudulent activity. The system is built with ease of implementation in mind, making it ideal for financial institutions looking for an interpretable starting point or a lightweight solution for early warning detection. The model is demonstrated on simulated transaction data, and its results are visualized clearly to show the difference between normal and suspicious behavior. By the end of this chapter, readers will not only understand how to build a basic fraud detection system in MATLAB, but also appreciate the importance of balancing technical rigor with real-world usability in cybersecurity efforts.
