With climate change impact in Nigeria becoming more adverse and its threats to the agricultural sector surging, the need to adopt resilient mitigation and adaptation strategies has become more expedient. Thus, this study interrogates the implications of climate-smart agriculture as a response mechanism to climatic dysfunctionalities and a leeway to the full-blown achievement of SDG 2 in Nigeria. The work relies substantially on secondary information from books, journal articles and policy briefs. The study asserts that climate-smart agriculture represents one of the innovative approaches to achieving SDG 2 and, by extension, food security in Nigeria. During the inquiry, several challenges to implementing CSA were identified and highlighted. It posits that CSA application has heightened among Nigerian farmers, but its holistic performance should be fast-tracked if SDG2 will be achieved. The government and pertinent stakeholders must provide more comprehensive and better-coordinated support for farmers, such as requisite funding, to enable them to mitigate climate change impacts adequately.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125942318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Convex hull subtour has been shown to theoretically degrade the worst-case performances of some insertion heuristics from twice optimal to thrice optimal, although other empirical studies have shown that the introduction of the convex hull as a subtour is expected to minimize the occurrences of outliers, thereby potentially improving the solution quality. This study was therefore conceived to investigate the empirical effect of a convex-hull-based initial tour on the Nearest Neighbour Heuristic vis-a-vis the traditional use of a single node as the initial tour. The resulting hybrid Convex Hull-Nearest Neighbour Heuristic (CH-NN) was used to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem. The technique was experimented using publicly available testbeds from TSPLIB. The performance of CH-NN vis-a-vis that of the traditional Nearest Neighbour solution showed empirically that Convex Hull can potentially improve the solution quality of tour construction techniques.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126144221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted to assess the strength and durability of waste glass as a partial replacement for a mortal mix of sharp sand and stone dust. The glasscrete block samples were produced in a 6” metal block mould with 0%, 25% and 50% partial replacement of stone dust and sharp sand respectively. The compressive strength and water absorption tests were conducted after the samples were cured for 7, 28 and 56 days in a laboratory. The highest compressive strengths of 102.333kN and 100.667kN were observed in 50% waste glass partial replacement with sharp sand and 50% waste glass combination with 25% sharp sand and 25% stone dust respectively. The least compressive strength was seen in the control samples of sand and stone dust with no replacement of waste glass. This shows that the addition of waste glass increased the compressive strength of the block samples. The least rate of water absorption was recorded in 50% waste glass, 25% sharp sand and 25% stone dust. It should be noted that the replacement of the waste glass with stone dust performed poorly unlike that of sharp sand. Therefore, it is recommended that 50% waste glass, 25% sharp sand and 25% stone dust should be adopted for the production of glasscrete blocks for a zero-spalling effect in buildings with varying mix ratios. Glasscrete blocks can therefore be used in the waterlogged environment and areas prone to the spalling condition.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127424016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researchers have worked on different approaches in an attempt to reduce the level of noise in audio signals. Such approaches, among others, include Wavelet, Fourier Transform (FT), and deep learning. These algorithms worked well on noisy speech to a certain degree, but their degree of accuracy is not sufficient enough for speech-to-speech (S2S) translation because the presence of just a little noise in the signal can alter the semantic representation of the underlying language. Since it is nearly impossible for any of this single algorithm to produce a perfect (noiseless) signal, this paper presents a layered approach for total noise removal by stacking Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT). In this approach, a band-pass channel is created using STFT, which reduces the signal noise level to the barest minimum while the residual noise is completely removed by performing PCA on the refined signals. Experimental results clearly showed that this approach almost doubles the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output signal for all the 10 audio samples being tested, thus making it relatively than the aforementioned approaches in terms of quality of outputs, and suitable for accuracy-sensitive domains such as speech-to-speech translation system development.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129796937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To realize these goals, ongoing studies are developing schemes to improve both performance requirements. One of the mechanisms at the forefront of these studies is Discontinuous Reception (DRX). This mechanism, which was inherited from the Fourth-Generation (4G) wireless network is crucial, as its performance with regard to the performance requirements for 5G goals has a great impact on the user's satisfaction. Although the DRX mechanism is adapted to meet the power-saving need of a 5G wireless network, the energy expenses for operations at millimetre-wave frequencies are still of concern. In this paper, recent research solutions that consider the application of the DRX mechanism in association with key enabling features and factors such as paging, RRC_INACTIVE, mmWave, and UE mobility are discussed for 5G use cases. In addition, the effect of these features and factors is considered, as well as recent solutions to address the challenges identified. Simulation results of this approach showed an average of 399mW of power consumed in a 24-hour period, which represents a 6% mean percentage reduction in UE power consumption when compared to the existing scheme.","PeriodicalId":185729,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Sustainable Development Goals (SEB-SDG)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127624878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that tribology has been applied in the field of biomedical, green tribology, nanotribology, space tribology, and wind turbines. Machines present in the industry are the most important factor responsible for the functionality of the industry but the presence of wear and friction in the machines causes failure which in turn halts the production process. There is advancement in the knowledge of the science of wear, friction, and lubrication to combat its impacts in industries. The industrial application of tribology in the industry, includes the tribology of automobiles, gears, cams, bearings, and metalworking fluids. The reality is that both solid and liquid lubricants are required in most of these applications to ensure that the chosen lubricant can withstand the anticipated working conditions and favourably influence friction and wear reduction.

Using an e-commerce application as a case study, this paper demonstrates how Parameterized Queries could be used to defend SQL Injection attacks. With prepared statements in Java where LoginController was employed as the Servlet to control the application login procedure, Parameterized Queries were successfully incorporated into an e-commerce application.

The study also examines the effect of post-curing techniques on the enhancement of the thermal properties and morphology of the composites. The evaluation of the morphology is carried out using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy in accordance with ASTM D3417, while the thermal properties are measured using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) in accordance with ASTM D3418 and ASTM 1131 ISO 11358 respectively. The results show significant improvements in the thermal stability and morphology of the composites with varying loading of graphene nanoplatelets. The TGA results indicate an increase in weight retention value as graphene loading increases.
