4D-Based Environmental Impact Analysis of Road Project Variants
Road construction work has a multitude of impacts on its host environment, and the effect of these impacts varies according to the areas it crosses. Taking these impacts into account from the earliest stages of project planning is the ideal approach pursued by planners to ensure that their plans not only take these impacts into account but also mitigate their effects as much as possible. Drawing up a project schedule that considers the impact of the work requires an in-depth understanding of its scale, spatial extent, and timing.

RAW Image Denoising
Given the challenges encountered by industrial cameras, such as the randomness of sensor components, scattering, and polarization caused by optical defects, environmental factors, and other variables, the resulting noise hinders image recognition and leads to errors in subsequent image processing. An increasing number of papers have proposed methods for denoising RAW images.

Current Aviation Fuel Production
For jet fuel, the aviation industry primarily uses two types of fuel: aviation gasoline and aviation kerosene. Aviation gasoline, also known as AVGAS, is derived from the distillation of crude oil in the range between 30 and 170 °C. AVGAS is normally used in small aircraft, such as private aviation, agricultural, and pilot training. Aviation kerosene is also a petroleum distillation product obtained in the range between 150 and 300 °C. This fuel is more suitable in aircraft engines for energy generation through combustion, used in many commercial and military aircraft.

Impact of Stress Path on Rock Strength
The strength of rock is a non-intrinsic property, and this means that numerous parameters influence the strength values. In most laboratory experiments, specimens are free of stress at the start of the tests, and the load is increased systematically until failure occurs. Around excavations, the opposite path occurs, i.e., the rock is in equilibrium under a triaxial stress state and at least one stress component decreases while another component may increase. Hence, the stress paths in classic laboratory experiments are different from the in situ stress paths. In the research presented, the effect of these different stress paths on the failure processes and failure envelopes was studied. The micro-fracturing when loading rock (from zero or low stress state) until failure was different from the micro-fracturing when unloading rock (from the in situ stress state) until failure. And, hence, by this difference in weakening processes, the failure envelopes were significantly different. The conventional loading resulted in the largest strength and, thus, overestimated the rock strength in comparison to the real in situ behavior. This finding, after being confirmed by additional experiments, will have a direct effect on how one characterizes rock material and on the design of rock excavations.

Building Information Modelling in the Saudi Construction Industry
The Saudi Vision 2030 is a program of change management on a national level driven mostly by the use of digital technology. The implementation of building information modelling (BIM) is part of this change, and there is general agreement that its use improves the productivity and quality of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries.

Mobile Energy Storage for Enhancing Power Grid Resilience
Natural disasters can lead to large-scale power outages, affecting critical infrastructure and causing social and economic damages. These events are exacerbated by climate change, which increases their frequency and magnitude. Improving power grid resilience can help mitigate the damages caused by these events. Mobile energy storage systems, classified as truck-mounted or towable battery storage systems, have been considered to enhance distribution grid resilience by providing localized support to critical loads during an outage.

Towards the Cognitive Factory in Industry 5.0
Industry 5.0 (I5.0) represents a shift towards a human-centered industry and emphasizes the integration of human and machine capabilities. A highly compatible concept for enabling the I5.0 implementation is intelligent spaces (ISs), i.e., physical spaces equipped with a network of sensors, which obtains information about the place it observes, and a network of actuators, which enables changes in the environment through computing services. These spaces can sense, interpret, recognize user behavior, adapt to preferences, and provide natural interactions between humans and intelligent systems, using the IoT, AI, computer vision, data analytics, etc., to create dynamic and adaptive environments in real time.
