Introduction
Nature has inspired solutions to human problems since prehistoric
times. Starting from spears made from the teeth of animals to
modern structures biological organisms inspired a lot. Biomimicry,
the imitation of natural systems to solve human problems, has
become increasingly popular in the field of structural engineering
[1]. This study will investigate the current state of biomimicry in
structural engineering by reviewing relevant literature, case studies.
This study explores the benefits of biomimicry in structural
engineering, including increased sustainability, improved energy
efficiency, and enhanced aesthetics. Additionally, this review
explores the existing biomimetic-inspired civil engineering system
and architecture [2]. Biomimicry has enormous potential to
revolutionize the field of structural engineering, providing innovative
and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges while
minimizing the environmental impact of construction.
Objective
Analysis of the potential of biomimicry to be incorporated with natural
design into structural engineering techniques to increase efficiency,
reduce environmental degradation and make construction cost and
labor effective.

Conclusion & Prospects
Case 1 The termites have an exceptional and amazing capability to
maintain a constant temperature and humidity in their mounds.
Following similar concept, a mid rise official complex named
Eastgate centre, shown in fig. 1, has been constructed in Harare,
Zimbabwe
Case 2 The canopy structure of Terminal 3 at Germanys Stuttgart
Airport is inspired from trees. The terminal is centered around 18 tree
shaped columns supporting a large pitched roof. Tree-shaped
columns reduced the amount of structural steel needed.
This study provides a general overview of the principles of
biomimicry, the types of structures that natural designs have
influenced, and the benefits of using biomimicry in structural
engineering. Despites of some inefficiencies, the findings of this
research highlight the potential of biomimicry to create efficient and
sustainable structures and offer insights for future research in this
field.

Citizen Observatories (COs) are initiatives that empower citizens to engage in data collection, analysis and interpretation in order to address various issues affecting their communities and contribute to policy-making and community development.
Thematic co-exploration is a co-production process where citizens actively participate alongside scientists and other actors in the exploration of specific themes.
Making them a reality involves addressing the following challenges:
Data quality and reliability
Engagement and retention of participants
Integration with policy and decision-making

Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late. There is an urgent need for a new generation of computational theories and tools to assist researchers in extracting useful information from the rapidly growing volumes of digital data.
This Journal provides a forum for researchers who address this issue and to present their work in a peer-reviewed open access forum. Authors are solicited to contribute to the Journal by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to these topics only.Tesla-Stock-Analysis-and-Forecast.pptx (1).pptx

Adaptation of Biomimicry in Structural Engineering | IUT Ceenovation
- 1. Inspiration around us: Adaptation of Biomimicry in Structural Engineering Rahat Al Mamun1, Aynany Tazrian2 1Department of Computer Sciences& Engineering , Independent University, Bangladesh 2 Mechanical Engineering, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology Introduction Nature has inspired solutions to human problems since prehistoric times. Starting from spears made from the teeth of animals to modern structures biological organisms inspired a lot. Biomimicry, the imitation of natural systems to solve human problems, has become increasingly popular in the field of structural engineering [1]. This study will investigate the current state of biomimicry in structural engineering by reviewing relevant literature, case studies. This study explores the benefits of biomimicry in structural engineering, including increased sustainability, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced aesthetics. Additionally, this review explores the existing biomimetic-inspired civil engineering system and architecture [2]. Biomimicry has enormous potential to revolutionize the field of structural engineering, providing innovative and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges while minimizing the environmental impact of construction. Objective Analysis of the potential of biomimicry to be incorporated with natural design into structural engineering techniques to increase efficiency, reduce environmental degradation and make construction cost and labor effective. Methods References Case Studies & Discussion . Conclusion & Prospects Case 1 The termites have an exceptional and amazing capability to maintain a constant temperature and humidity in their mounds. Following similar concept, a mid rise official complex named Eastgate centre, shown in fig. 1, has been constructed in Harare, Zimbabwe Case 2 The canopy structure of Terminal 3 at Germanys Stuttgart Airport is inspired from trees. The terminal is centered around 18 tree shaped columns supporting a large pitched roof. Tree-shaped columns reduced the amount of structural steel needed. This study provides a general overview of the principles of biomimicry, the types of structures that natural designs have influenced, and the benefits of using biomimicry in structural engineering. Despites of some inefficiencies, the findings of this research highlight the potential of biomimicry to create efficient and sustainable structures and offer insights for future research in this field.
