Some electronic devices operate in elevated temperature environments such as military and industrial applications. Hence, the need to evaluate the reliability of such devices at elevated temperatures. Tin-Silver-Copper lead-free solder TIMs have been used during the assembly process of some electronic devices operating under harsh temperature environments. In this study, the reliability of SAC305 lead-free solder TIM was considered at elevated temperatures ranging from 100 o C to 200 o C at 25 o C interval, and aged for about an hour. ANSYS finite element analysis software was employed for the design and evaluation of SAC305 lead-free solder model. The findings of the investigation demonstrated that the higher the harsh temperature environment, the lower the reliability of the SAC305 solder TIM. In addition, the highest fatigue life (36735 or 4.2 years) was recorded at 100 o C, while 200 o C recorded the lowest fatigue life (1014 or 0.12 years). The fatigue life is an indication of the lifespan of the TIM when in operation. This research will be beneficial to engineers assembling microelectronic products.

Thus, this challenge necessitates the need for an automated method of power change over to an alternative source during power failure that will be an improvement over the manual change over system. This study aims to design and construct a microcontroller-based Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) for a single-phase system. Atmega8 microcontroller was programmed to automatically switch power supply between a primary source and a secondary power source through the aid of relays. A modular approach was used in the design of this ATS, which incorporates Atmega8 microcontroller, diodes, resistors, L7805 voltage regulator, PC817 optocouplers, a buzzer alarm, NPN transistors, and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that indicates which power source was available. This design is limited to 30A on full loading due to the power relay used in the design. The testing showed that the design was able to automatically switch power between two supply sources with no external aid and it performed optimally even when loaded to 90% of its maximum bearing-capacity.

The challenges are even more pronounced in the subtropical and tropical regions with high intensities of rain which is more accompanied with thunderstorms. Nigeria has an equatorial and tropical climate, which is identified by controlling rainfall. Rain is the significant attenuation factor of various communication signal above 10 GHz frequencies. Therefore, for effective utilization of the microwave bandwidth during rainfall, it is required to form the correlation between this attenuation effect and the bandwidth at various rainfall rate and frequencies at a particular interest location.

To understand the effects, experiments were conducted on farmland with slope gradients of 2%, 3% and 5%. Treatments included groundnut, cowpea, soybean, and no crop: contour and irrational ridge alternated in each runoff block. Standard method was used to calculate phosphorus loss. The results indicated that quantity of phosphorus loss in sandy loamy soils was 4.5 times higher than in loamy sand. In contrast, the phosphorus release (runoff) in loamy sand was 13.52 times higher than in sandy loam, so the average phosphorus loss in soil and surface runoff were 0.4 and 2 Kg / ha / year, respectively. Outcomes proved that the interaction between irrational ridge and vegetation cover increased the phosphorus concentration in the soils than water, thereby reducing aquatic organisms in rivers and creasing health risks for humans. The study recommends that contour cultivation be used very well to reduce phosphorus loss from sediment and runoff.

Meta-heuristic algorithms are appropriate for the selection of features because feature subset representation is direct and the evaluation is easily accomplished. This paper performed a comparative study on the impact of meta-heuristic optimization algorithms on breast cancer diagnosis using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The two feature selection algorithms were used to obtain the relevant attributes from the Wisconsin breast cancer (original) dataset. The selected attributes were passed to seven learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (C4.5), Naive Bayes (NB), K Nearest Neighhood (KNN), Neural Network (NN), Logistic Regression (LR), and Random Forest (RF). The diagnostic model was evaluated based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-measure. Experimental showed that the highest accuracy of 97.1388% was obtained in both PSO and ACO using RF classifier, the highest precision value of 0.9720 was recorded in ACO using RF classifier, the highest recall value of 0.9750 was achieved in PSO using RF classifier, the highest F1-measure value of 0.9700 was obtained in PSO using SVM, the highest kappa statistic of 0.9370 was obtained in both PSO and ACO using RF and the lowest time of 0s was taken to build a model was recorded in PSO using KNN and NB, and also in ACO using KNN. The paper concluded that the breast diagnostic model using PSO and ACO with different learning algorithms revealed that the accuracy of RF outperformed other algorithms. Also, it was shown that ACO produced better precision using RF compared with PSO and PSO gave better recall using RF compared with ACO, PSO recorded an efficient F1-measure using SVM.
