Article 1. Advancements in Materials Technology for Accomplishing Sustainable Development Goals

The first article of the issue is published by the Sachin Mishra et al. from Bhilai Institute of Technology, India. This article discusses the new products and materials innovations owned by fast developing industries and smart startups. Evolution of the new technologies helps in improvement of global economy. Sustainable developments aim for self-reliance and technically acceptable. Sustainability may be understood as such development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is well understood that earlier development consumes vast quantity of natural resources without caring of negative impact on environment upon which they depend.

Article 3. A Review on Low-Cost Adsorbents for Cadmium Pollutant Removal from Industrial Effluents

The third article of this issue is published by the Sangeeta Sahu et al. from Bhilai Institute of Technology from India. This article describes the cadmium biopersistant nature and pollution in environment. Study emphasizes about removal of cadmium from wastewater, via various techniques. These techniques are chemical precipitation, chemical reduction, ion exchange, evaporation, membrane processes, and adsorption. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages among these techniques; adsorption of cadmium metal by using various materials was proved to be an amazingly effective method. From the current review, adsorption seems to be the best alternative, help to develop new metal remediation technology and to study the scientific advances of recent years in this area.

Article 4. Study of Applications of Radial Basis Function Network in Forecasting

The fourth article of the issue describes the forecasting climatic conditions carried out by scientists around the globe. This article is published by Akhilesh Kumar Yadu et al. from MATS University, India. The article describes that researchers have used multiple architectures of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for forecasting and understanding of various climatic phenomena. Such tasks demand huge analysis on recent and past results to give appropriate with precise results of the forecast. In this paper, authors are proposing a Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) as a machine learning tool for making forecasting. In a variety of real-time packages, that includes the prediction of weather, load forecasting, forecasting approximately a variety of traveller and in various programs RBFN applied.

Article 5. Simulation of LPG Pressure Vessel under Fire Engulfment 

The fifth article of the issue describes about the transport and storage conditions of the Liquefied Petroleum Gases [LPG]. This article reported by the Prabhjot Singh Virdi et al. Bhilai Institute of Technology and Malaviya National Institute of Technology, India respectively. When a vessel carrying LPG is damaged, an abrupt drop in pressure may release colossal quantities of evaporating gas and energy that has a destructive effect on the vessel itself and its surroundings. When encounters ignition source, BLEVE phenomenon is developed. Elevated temperature environment outside the LPG pressure vessel can cause vessel explosion due to the pressure mount inside the tank and drop in strength of the tank walls. The primary focus of the paper is to analyze the LPG storage pressure vessel under thermal loading condition. For this Finite element modeling approach is used and the analysis is carried out in ANSYSTM software.
