The great need to shift attention towards waste materials with good mechanical properties to replace some materials used in the Automobile industries for Automobile products is paramount. This research focused on the Mechanical characterization of several composites developed from Periwinkle Shell Powder (PSP) as filler and four selected polymeric materials as the matrix. Recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE), Recycled linear low-density polyethylene (rLLDPE), Recycled polystyrene (rPP) and recycled polystyrene (rPS) from waste dumps were selected as the Matrix for the composites. The crushed periwinkle shell (CPSP) was subjected to a calcination (ashing) process. Ashed Periwinkle Shell Powder (APSP) was used to reinforce the rHDPE, rLLDPE, rPP and rPS at 0 to 40% filler loading. Mechanical tests carried out resulted in the 30%PSP and 70%PP composite having better tensile and flexural strengths, good flexural modulus, hardness, impact and moisture absorption results. Results obtained from the mechanical tests were comparable with values obtained from a tested existing vehicle bumper. The APSP-filled recycled polymer composites can serve as a suitable green alternative to existing vehicle bumpers.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"251 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140282052","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}

However, predicting these yields is challenging due to the myriad of influencing factors, from soil quality to climate conditions. While traditional methods relied on historical data and farmer experience, recent advancements have witnessed a shift towards machine learning (ML) for improved accuracy. This study explored the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in predicting crop yields using data from Nigeria. Previous efforts lacked transferability across crops and localities; this research aimed to devise modular and reusable workflows. Using data from the Agricultural Performance Survey of Nigeria, this study evaluated the performance of different machine learning algorithms, including Linear Regression, Support Vector Regressor, K-Nearest neighbor, and Decision Tree Regressor. Results revealed the Decision Tree Regressor as the superior model for crop yield prediction, achieving a prediction accuracy of 72%. The findings underscore the potential of integrating ML in agricultural planning in Nigeria where agriculture significantly impacts the economy. Further research is encouraged to refine these models for broader application across varying agroecological zones.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"133 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140278793","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}

Solanum nigrum leaf is used traditionally in the treatment of various gynecological disorders. The toxicological effects of aqueous extract of Solanum nigrum leaves (AESNL) at 200 mg/kg body weight on anastrozole-induced in polycystic ovarian syndrome was investigated in female Wistar rats. Sixteen female Wistar rats (190.56 ± 5.35g) were assigned into 4 groups (A - D) of four animals each: animals in group A received 0.5 ml of distilled water orally on daily basis for 14 days while the anastrozole-induced rats in groups B, C, and D also received orally 0.5 ml of distilled water, 7.14mg/kg of metformin (reference drug) and same volume of the extract corresponding to 200 mg/kg body weight of AESNL respectively. Parameters assayed for were liver function tests, kidney function tests and enzyme assays. The result obtained revealed that AESNL mitigated anastrozole-treatment related increases in albumin, uric acid, total protein parameters, total bilirubin, liver and serum aspartate aminotransferase, kidney alkaline phosphatase, liver gamma-glutamyl transferase activities, and aggravated the increases in urea, direct bilirubin, creatinine, liver and serum alkaline phosphatase, and serum gamma-glutamyl transferase activities. Therefore, the aqueous extract of Solanum nigrum leaves at the 200 mg/kg body weight might not be completely safe when used in the treatment of PCOS due to alterations in toxicological parameters evaluated in this study.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"33 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140268990","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 research focuses on modelling the growth of Nigeria’s population from the year 1981 to 2021 and determining the best fit model to represent Nigeria’s population growth (male, female and total). Seven growth models were considered in this research which includes: the linear, the exponential (Malthusian), Logistic (Verhulst), Gompertz, Hyperbolic, Brody and the Von Bertalanffy growth models. The criteria used for comparison of best fitted model were the coefficient of determination (R2), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Mean Square Error (MSE), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The R2 showed that the exponential, the logistic and the Gompertz growth models were all better fits for Nigeria’s population (male, female and total) having the highest R2 (0.999). Further comparison with the MSE, AIC and BIC revealed that the exponential growth model best represented Nigeria’s population growth (male, female and total) having the least MSE, AIC and BIC. Hence the exponential growth model should be considered by researchers in Nigeria population projection.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"10 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139962849","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 demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, atmospheric data sets comprising of wind, solar, and temperature of Kaduna International Airport were collected from Nigerian Meteorological Agency while the load demand data was collected from Kaduna International Airport Electricity Distribution Center. The microgrid optimal sizing was formulated as a constrained single objective optimization problem. Constraints including, loss of power supply probability (LPSP), power balance, generation limits and battery state of charge (SOC) were imposed. Three simulation scenarios were considered. Firstly, the target allowable maximum LPSP was fixed at 25% and the algorithm was able to determine the optimal sizing of the hybrid microgrid components and minimize the initial cost from 169,880.00 USD to 112,356.40 USD per annum resulting in 34% savings in cost. Secondly, the effect of the target allowable maximum LPSP variation was investigated, and it was found that the total installed capacity of the system decreases with increase in LPSP thereby decreasing the total cost. Additionally, a novel electricity price index (EPI) was introduced in order to quantify the degree of optimality of the solution. The EPI was found to increase exponentially with increase in LPSP, resulting in an EPI of < 0.05USD/kWh at 20% LPSP. Lastly, to validate the proposed approach, a comparative analysis between the IGWOA and other algorithms was carried out, and the proposed IGWOA proved applicable.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"16 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139962904","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}
