Based on the contents of heavy metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mo, Mn, Pb, and Zn) in 22 road dust samples, the urban environmental quality of Wadi El-Qamar area was evaluated. It is a residential area suffering from unplanned industrial activities, overpopulation, and uncontrolled urbanization. Heavy metal sources and geochemical associations were deciphered using a multivariate statistical approach, while the contamination degree and ecological risks were identified using various pollution indices....
An analysis of the purity and sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels in various sugar brands was conducted between January and November 2020. The SO2 levels in the sugar samples were determined using the rapid iodometric titration method, which involved titrating the samples with iodine solution to measure the SO2 content. The color of the sugar samples was analyzed using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 420 nm, and the color was assessed based on absorbance values. Based on the results, it is...
This paper reviews the literature on the industrial approach to chemical education in Kenyan universities. The industrial approach is a pedagogy that seeks to integrate the teaching of chemistry with the needs of industry. This is done by providing students with opportunities to learn about chemistry in a real-world context, such as by working on projects with industrial partners or by conducting internships in the chemical industry. The paper begins by discussing the rationale for the indust...
Background and Aims: There are sex differences in blood cell count and hemoglobin (HGB) in adulthood due to differences in the levels of circulating sex hormones. The second‐to‐fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is the putative marker of prenatal hormone exposure. The 2D:4D or the right‐left difference (Dr‐l) are sexually dimorphic and are correlates of sex hormones in adulthood. The study sought to determine whether sex differences in adult blood cell count and HGB can be partly explained by...
The frequency and severity of cyber- attacks have surged, causing detrimental impacts on businesses and their operations. To counter the ever-evolving cyber threats, there's a growing need for robust risk assessment systems capable of ef ectively pinpointing and mitigating potential vulnerabilities. This paper introduces an innovative risk assessment technique rooted in both Machine Learning and graph theory, which of ers a method to evaluate and foresee companies' susceptibility to ...
As Modern-day data increases in terms of dimensions (Instances X attributes), Single Feature Selection Techniques (SFST) often have certain biases and fail to provide optimal performance in machine learning models. To overcome the challenges associated with using SFST on large datasets, an Ensemble Feature Selection Technique (EFST) is proposed that includes multi-filter-based feature ranking selection and a wrapper-based feature subset selection methods for feature extraction on the Cana...
ABSTRACT Alum (potassium aluminum sulfate-K+Al3+ (SO42-) 2), ferrous sulfate (Fe2+ SO42-), ferric chloride (Fe2+2Cl-) and ferric chloro-sulfate (Fe2+Cl-SO42-) were commonly used as coagulants. However, a possible link of Alzheimer’s disease with conventional aluminum based coagulants and other adverse bioaccumulation cases associated with heavy metal have become an issue in wastewater treatment. Hence, special attention has shift towards using biodegradable polymer like chitosan in treatme...
ABSTRACT Design and implementation of weather forecasting package for aviation industry is discussed in this research work using Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri – Imo State as a case study. With its objectives research work as follows: To help aviation Meteorologists issue accurate weather forecasts. To enable aviation industry to make decisions on control based on information given etc. This research work reviews the background and general idea of weather forecasting which motivated me to go in...
This is an incomplete analysis with a mathematical model of the novel coronavirus that aims at presenting a mathematical model that will help give a suitable prediction of the impact of asymptomatic patients who are either diagnosed or undiagnosed. Also, it would be used in estimating the impact of delayed or prompt treatment with individuals who are already tested or diagnosed.
The recent obvious manifestation of rising damp, flaked plaster, blistered paint and cracks which are subtle evidences of structural distress necessitated a post-construction integrity assessment of the immediate vicinities of a church auditorium in Ado-Ekiti southwestern Nigeria. The Spontaneous Potential (SP) and Electrical Resistivity (ER) methods of geophysical prospecting were adopted for the assessment. Using a Total Field array spacing of 2 m and Dipole-dipole array spacing of 5 m resp...
Organic solvent-free impregnation method was used to synthesize titanium-iron oxides (TIOs) nanomaterial. The physical properties of synthesized TIOs materials were characterized by XRD, SEM–EDX, BET, UV–Vis, and FTIR analytical techniques. The appearance of iron oxide (IO) on SEM image, XRD, and EDX spectra, the redshift on UV–Vis spectra of TIO compared to titanium oxide (TO), and intensity reduction in FTIR spectra proves the good impregnation of IO in TO lattice. The passing of t...
