The objective of this paper is to present a robust and accurate model of microbial fuel cell (MFC) to use it for a parameter optimization and performance improvement. The proposed methodology contains main two phases: ANFIS modeling and parameter optimization by recent Walrus Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The ability of MFC to cleanse wastewater by removing organic matter and heavy metal ions while simultaneously generating power has been established. The power production and wastewater treatment efficacy of MFCs are significantly influenced by optimizing their operating parameters. Therefore, in this research work, the operation of an MFC for wastewater treatment, Cr(VI) removal, and power output was modelled and optimized using integration between ANFIS and WOA. Key determining factors include the substrate concentration on the anode side, the Cu(II)/Cr(VI) ratio on the cathode side (which acts as electron acceptor), and the applied external resistance between the anode and cathode. The Cr(VI) removal and power output are the output parameters. The findings from the ANFIS and the WOA demonstrated the effectiveness of the model and optimizer in determining the optimal operating conditions for maximizing power output and Cr(VI) removal. WOA successfully increased the power density from 75 to 86.65 mW/m², representing an approximate 15.33% improvement over the measured data. Additionally, it enhanced the Cr(VI) removal efficiency by approximately 18.9%, raising it from 36.76% to 43.74%. Under these conditions, the optimum Cu(II)/Cr(VI) ratio, external resistance, substrate concentration, and total objective function were 1.672 mg/mg, 1.756 kΩ, 1.756 g/L, and 130.39, respectively.

Despite the significant public health challenges posed by heat stress and rising temperatures for outdoor workers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, there has been insufficient focus on enforcing adequate policies, identifying effective heat stress prevention interventions, and providing evidence-based recommendations.

The dispersion of cough-generated aerosols in enclosed healthcare environments poses a significant risk of airborne transmission, necessitating effective ventilation strategies to safeguard patients and healthcare staff. Conventional ceiling-mounted ventilation systems often fail to rapidly remove particles from the breathing zone, motivating the need for localized airflow enhancement. This study investigates the combined effect of pedestal fan-assisted ventilation and patient coughing inclination on aerosol transport, droplet clearance, and infection risk within a dental room. A transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to simulate the evolution of cough-generated droplets under varying patient inclinations and different fan speeds. The results reveal that particle transport is governed by the interplay of cough jet momentum, aerodynamic drag, turbulent dispersion, and gravitational settling. At 0°, droplets remain suspended, resulting in the highest infection risk, exceeding 75% under low airflow conditions. With a 30° inclination, the risk decreases to 64%, while at 45° it further reduces to 42% under low airflow and to 26% under high airflow, confirming the optimal alignment of cough momentum with ventilation streamlines. The droplet number fraction also shows the greatest reduction at 45°, decreasing by 21.5% under low airflow and by 28.4% under high airflow compared to 0°. Larger droplets consistently settle due to gravity, whereas smaller aerosols remain entrained until cleared by the outlet-directed airflow. The findings demonstrate that optimizing patient inclination, particularly at 45°, in conjunction with higher fan speeds, significantly enhances particle clearance and reduces infection risk. This approach can be effectively applied in dental clinics and similar indoor settings, where quick aerosol control is essential to reduce the risk of cross-infections.
