Riyadh Smart Parking
Our vision aims to raise the quality of life and we had planned smart cities from scratch but what about the current cities the residents of Riyadh suffer from extreme traffic and spend hours circling the block searching for a open park which wastes time money and is bad for the environment. 30-50% of traffic is causing by not being able to park and due to Riyadh lack of proper city planning and radid increase in inhabitants especially after allowing women to drive and as the car being the main way of transportation finding a open park could be a nightmare for some. We have approached this problem from the technological perspective by developing a free application for Riyadhs inhabitants that's main goal is to navigate each driver from their current location to the best open park possible in the shortest time possible but what dirstinguishes us from similar apps in the literature is that we provide the time of departure for each park as well as the ability to book suck parks even if it is ahead of time via a interactive live map. The technology's that we used are the cellar censor that will track the users location and the ultrasonic sensor to track the occupancy of the parking in case the driver doesn't have the app but in which case will case will not be able to provide booking features. We have struggled in the lack of expertise and experience and in motivating the drivers to input correct data about there time of departure we also didn't have enough time to validate our project For future work we will validate our project and we plan on making the detection of the time of departure automatic as well as vobering all kinds of parks. We plan on expanding the scope of target users to include institutes as well because with time the app will have collected enough data to help institutions provide better parking such as ruch hours parking scope percentage of booked parking etc we also plan on benefiting more from the cellular secsor to link data with the persons phone like certain access to private parks like disabled parking or home parking or private hotel offices parking etc

Design and Simulation of a Honeycomb Sandwich Panel as a Heat-resistant and Durable Construction Material
One of the main factors that contribute to fire incidents and the excessive heat people feel during a heat wave is the building materials used, and one such material that possesses durable and heat-resistant properties is sandwich panels. A possible structure that can be used to model sandwich panels is honeycomb structures; however, further research has yet to be conducted on its applications as a heat-resistant urban construction material. This study aims to design a three-dimensional model of a honeycomb sandwich panel and simulate its performance under different thermal and structural stressors. A 3D model of the honeycomb sandwich panel was generated using Autodesk Fusion 360. Then, multiple versions of the panel were generated with varying heat-resistant core materials—namely, aluminum, nickel, nickel-copper alloy 400, and copper—along with polystyrene as the core material for the control model. The following properties of every panel were assessed using finite element analysis (FEA): static deformation, stress distribution, strain distribution, total heat flux, and thermal gradient. Results showed that when subjected to varying structural loads (2 kN, 5 kN, 7 kN), the nickel-core panel demonstrated the best results in terms of static deformation and strain distribution due to its relatively lower deformation and elongation values, respectively. Meanwhile, under the same structural loads, the aluminum-core panel performed better than other core materials in terms of stress distribution due to it having the relatively highest difference between its simulated von Mises stress and its yield strength. The honeycomb sandwich panels have also shown to possess heat-resistivity when subjected to a thermal load of 90°C, with polystyrene being the most promising material overall in terms of heat-resistance due to its relatively lower heat flux and thermal gradient. The results from this study would contribute to future research on honeycomb sandwich panels and may be used in real-life applications.

法拉第波輔助合成奈米鎳並應用於有機污染物的快速脫色
Nanostructured Nickel Synthesized through Faraday Waves and Its Application to Rapid Contaminants Decolorization
超音波已廣泛用於奈米粒子的製備,然可聽聞音對奈米粒子製備的影響卻少有研究。本研究以簡易喇叭裝置產生可聽聞音並在溶液表面產生法拉第波及內部流動,來輔助製備奈米鎳。法拉第波是一種表面非線性駐波,透過調整容器形狀、振動頻率等,可產生不同波形。本研究嘗試在法拉第波輔助下,以化學還原法及電沉積法製備出不同性質的奈米粒子。SEM量測並比較無輔助、法拉第波輔助、超音波輔助製備出的奈米鎳的形貌、分布的差異。並將其應用於有機物(即剛果紅、亞甲藍、4-硝基苯酚、2-硝基苯酚)之催化還原。而由SEM量測、催化還原結果及理論模擬反應熱可知,法拉第波確實能夠改善奈米鎳的粒徑大小、分散性、對氫的吸附能力及催化還原能力。

Most people in the country tend to consume soda as part of their daily lives, without thinking about the health consequences that this entails. And the fact is that 墨西哥 is considered the main consumer of soda in the world (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [UNAM], 2019), and not only that, it also tops the lists of obesity and diabetes (Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor [PROFECO], 2018). A bad diet is one of the main causes of these medical conditions, so it is necessary to rethink the foods of daily consumption. In this project, the development of a carbonated beverage with three main ingredients: purple corn, hibiscus, and pineapple, which contain diverse nutritional properties in addition to having significant amounts of antioxidants (Secretaría de Cultura,2020; Sumaya et al., 2014; Kongsuwan et al., 2009), is established as an objective. In addition, antioxidants act as regulators of cellular aging and prevent chronic diseases (Vilaplana, 2007). For this reason, the elaboration of a beverage with these characteristics is considered harmless and a good option for people with a chronic disease or who are prone to it, as well as a healthy alternative to the consumption of soft drinks. In this project, an experimental methodology was followed to prepare the nutritional beverage, which had nutritional properties, such as vitamin and antioxidant content, in addition to having a pleasant taste and texture.

EIPCA : Electrocardiogram Interpretation Pattern for Cardiovascular Abnormalities Prediction
Cardiac Arrhythmia is one of the conditions in the group of heart and blood vessel diseases that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest (sudden death) and other conditions if not diagnosed quickly and accurately. According to research, heart and blood vessel diseases are the most common diseases and have a mortality rate of one-half of all non-communicable diseases. According to WHO statistics in 2012, it was found that there were 7.4 million deaths from heart and blood vessel diseases, and in 2017, the number of deaths increased to 177 million people, or about 94,444 people per day. Diagnosis of heart and blood vessel diseases can be done by measuring the electrical activity of the heart, and after the examination, a specialized physician will read and analyze the graph to find abnormal patterns. Currently, the shortage of qualified heart specialists to read the graph and screen for heart disease is a medical position shortage, which requires transferring data to hospitals with specialists, resulting in delays in diagnosis and treatment and even death. The project "EIPCA: Electrocardiogram Interpretation Pattern for Cardiovascular Abnormalities prediction" is an application program that assists in screening for fatal diseases that arise from abnormal heart rhythm. It employs artificial intelligence to aid in the screening and analysis of the electrical waveforms generated by an ECG machine, thus reducing diagnosis time and addressing the shortage of cardiology experts. EIPCA is comprised of two systems: (1) a system for screening and analyzing ECG waveforms using artificial intelligence to solve the problem of a shortage of specialized cardiology physicians, and (2) a system for risk assessment of fatal diseases by analyzing the ECG waveform data. The target group of the project is Rural hospitals, as well as health-related agencies. The project team hopes that the development of this project will significantly improve the efficiency and speed of screening for heart-related diseases, ultimately reducing the mortality rate from these diseases in the future.

"Blindness keeps you from things, deafness keeps you from people" (Helen Keller) Wibrazz is a communication tool that can be placed inside sportswear. Two versions have been developed. The simpler one allows hearing-impaired footballers to compete in the league with other athletes. The referee is given an additional device to give a signal when he blows his whistle. The hearing-impaired footballer then senses the signal from the device he is wearing and knows that he must pay attention to the referee. The complex version speeds up communication between the coach and the players during training sessions. It allows the coach to send simple messages to his players using his smart device. The athlete senses the signal from the device and acts on what has been previously discussed (e.g. a long signal means, "Everyone come to me!") With over 70 million deaf people worldwide, and 2-4 out of 1000 people in the United States who are functionally deaf, this can affect an individual's mental and physical well-being, and it is therefore a pressing issue to provide these athletes with the means to develop their talents in a traditional team environment. In addition to the organisations within countries, the ICSD is present on the international stage. Their importance is demonstrated by the fact that the 2023 Deaf Football World Cup featured teams from countries such as the United States, Germany, England and Japan.

Whose feather is that? A cross-views between a naturalist and a molecular biologist
Identifyingthespeciesorsexofabirdbasedonafeatherfoundinnatureisoftenchallenging,evenwith the help of reference books. However, determining the presence of a rare species in a habitat using an indirectpresenceindicator,suchasafeather,canhelpinimplementingspecificmeasuresforpreserving the species. The aim of this study is to investigate whether DNAgenotyping is better than specialized books when identifying bird feathers. Toanswerthisquestion,Icollectedfeathersinthewildand,withthehelpoftwobooks,triedtoidentify theirspeciesandsex.Then,assistedbyDrGwenaëlJacob(UNIFR),Iisolatedtwogenesinnineselected feathers. The investigated genes were the CHD gene for sexing and the COI gene for species identification.Todothis,theDNAwasfirstextractedfromthefeathers,purified,andamplifiedbyPCR. Subsequently,anelectrophoresis wasperformedtosexthe samples andcheckthatthe PCRamplification hadworkedproperly.Finally,thesamplesweresequencedbytheMicrosynthlaboratory(St-Gall),and the obtained sequences were entered into the NCBI database. Acomparisonoftheresultsobtainedwitheachofthetwodifferentmethodsshowsthattheidentification with specialized books was fairly successful. 56% of the species identification made with the books were indeed confirmed by genotyping. DNAanalysis provided a different result only for feather #16. However,33%ofgeneticidentificationfailed,eitherduetogeneticmaterialqualityorlaboratoryerrors. Asitwaspossibletoidentifythesexofonlyonesample(feather#14)withthebooks,itwasnotpossible tomakeatruecomparisonofthetwoapproaches.However,asgeneticsexingworkedwell(onefailure, feather #28), it can be inferred that genetic sexing is more effective than using books. This work demonstrated that DNAis not infallible and that sometimes books are equally effective in identifyingbirdspeciesfromafeather.However,insexingbird,DNAremainsmoreefficient.Thus,one can conclude that DNAgenotyping is not superior but rather complementary to specialized books for identifying bird feathers.

Non-invasive study of the electrical activity of the brain of various chordate animals
In clinical practice, EEG is used to diagnose a number of neurological diseases and to diagnose epilepsy. But at present, the question of the nature of EEG has not been completely resolved and is of great scientific interest. There have been no studies at all on the non-invasive study of the electrical activity of the brain of the shark superorder, which belongs to the class of cartilaginous fish. By studying the electrical activity of the brain of various gnathostomes, it is possible to obtain an answer to the question of the emergence of rhythms from the point of view of phylogenesis and evolution, and by comparing their EEG with the human EEG, one can identify similar patterns that help in the study of reactions to various influences. During the work, for the first time, EEG indicators of spotted cat sharks, ECG, heart rate and respiratory rate of cat sharks and toads were obtained. In the future, it is planned to assemble a smaller neuroheadset for non-invasive studies of the electrical activity of the brain of small animals (sharks, toads, monitor lizards). This data can be used for evolutionary and medical research. *No animals were harmed during or after the experiments.

Bifunctional Nanostructured TiO2 photoelectrocatalyst for Improving Overall Water splitting performance
Titanium dioxide TiO2 is a semiconductor, that has great chemical and physical properties, such as remarkable resistance against corrosion, chemical stability, and it’s a non-toxic material. Due to these properties, it rises as an excellent candidate for a wide range of different applications, such as being a popular material for solar cells, paints, cosmetics, energy storge devices, and water splitting. For photoelectrochemical water splitting to generate Hydrogen, a large surface area is essential, to be maximized to enhance photocatalytic redox processes and hence improve overall efficiency. Therefore, different methods have been utilized to fabricate TiO2 nanotubular structure. However, they either encounter a difficult process because of a long synthesis time or the need of expensive precursors. In our work, we demonstrated a study of enhancing 1 D TiO2 film to perform as a bifunctional catalyst (works as cathode and anode). As it is known that TiO2 is kinetically hampered as cathode for producing hydrogen from water, this is due to sluggish electron transfer at the interface between TiO2 and water and the conduction band of the TiO2, which is more negative than H+/H2. To tackle this problem, TiO2 film should be modified. In this work, we modified the TiO2 as bifunctional by investigating different parameters in detail, like the anodic oxidation solution content, anodic oxidation time, and the role of the polyethylene glycol chain. Electrochemical characterization and SEM, and XPS were utilized to prevent the nanotubes structure and to confirm the chemical bonding as well as investigating the physical properties such as resistance and electron kinetic mobility.
