This is a necessary concern as groundwater is a significant source of drinking water for many people, and intake of water polluted with nitrate, primarily by infants, causes low levels of oxygen in the blood, a fatal condition known in biological terms as methemoglobinemia or the blue baby syndrome. As more nitrate ions are introduced into groundwater by applying nitrate fertilizers each year, seepage from septic systems, more lives are threatened. In view of this, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a drinking water standard of 10 milligrams per liter (ml/L) nitrate concentration. An effective monitoring system must regularly measure nitrate ions’ concentration in underground water to adhere to this standard. To address the issue of effectively monitoring nitrate concentrations in groundwater while considering energy efficiency and mobility of the user, a real-time monitoring system for nitrate ions in groundwater was developed using a wireless sensor network consisting of nitrate sensors which were situated in the field (groundwater) to collect nitrate concentration data and send the data wirelessly via Bluetooth and the internet to be displayed in an android application. The readings of nitrate concentration were displayed in an android application both numerically and graphically, and a notification was sent to the application user when the nitrate concentration exceeded 8mg/L. The developed monitoring system detected and measured the concentration of nitrate ions in groundwater and transmitted the data obtained to the android application via Bluetooth and the internet through an online database in a delay time of 90 seconds of operation. The system operated and displayed the concentration of nitrate ions in real-time, enhancing early detection of groundwater pollution due to excess nitrate ions.","PeriodicalId":434382,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 8th International Conference on Adaptive Science and Technology (ICAST)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116118379","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}

The aim of this paper is to address the following objective: identify key sustainability principal indicators that impact the selection of building materials; to establish and specify the impact weight of each indicator. With results derived from questionnaire surveys with a cross-section of house building stakeholders, key sustainability principle indicators impacting the selection of climate-friendly materials are identified, analyzed, grouped and ranked according to the relative importance that each decision factor holds, using multi-criteria approach and analytical hierarchy process technique.

Decisions involving sociocultural factors needed to be traded off. To do that, they have to be measured alongside sustainability principle indicators impacting the selection of Locally Sourced and Recycled Building Materials (LSRBM) whose measurements must also be evaluated as to, how well, they serve the selection of LSRBM with the least carbon dioxide emissions. The analytical hierarchy process is a concept of measurement to derive priority scales. These scales measure intangibles in relative terms. This explained 21.39% carbon dioxide emissions decrease and 64.17% energetic expense decrease for selecting concrete roofing tiles, the lack of informed knowledge and in the Ghanaian context towards climate change mitigation in West Africa.","PeriodicalId":434382,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 8th International Conference on Adaptive Science and Technology (ICAST)","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122989989","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}

Low frequency magnetic fields around transmission line are time-varying quasi-static magnetic field for which the magnetic field is caused by current in the phase conductors. In this paper, the magnetic field produced by a power line is numerically modelled as the sum of the magnetic fields produced by each conductor current. Gmsh and GetDP open source software package are used for the simulation of the magnetic field created in the vicinity of two transmission lines that are located in Republic of Benin. The results of the study revealed that for the 161 kV and 330 kV transmission lines, there were some areas around the phase conductors where the magnitude of the magnetic field exceeded 75 μT and 200 μT respectively. A comparison of the study results with exposure limits specified by safety guidelines and regulations shows that there is no critical concern for the people living near the transmission lines. Rather, the exposure level seems dangerous for workers and individuals working closely to the line for a long duration. Consequently, the findings of this paper are useful in specifying appropriate clearance distance and duration to be maintain while working on life line as an amendment to existing standards in electromagnetic protection.","PeriodicalId":434382,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 8th International Conference on Adaptive Science and Technology (ICAST)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132587780","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}

In this research paper, we proposed the design and development of a system to control fatigue-related accidents. The system comprises a microcontroller, a camera, and a speaker. The microcontroller receives a video stream from the camera and analyses the eyes and mouth of the driver to detect signs of fatigue. The detection of fatigue signs is accomplished using Haar Cascades. Haar cascades are machine learning object detection algorithms. They use Haar features to determine the likelihood of a particular point being part of an object. Boosting algorithms are used to produce a strong prediction out of a combination of “weak” learners. Cascading classifiers are used to run boosting algorithms on different subsections of the input image received from the camera. The classifiers achieved high accuracy rates in detecting the various facial features with corresponding annotations. The system developed can detect fatigue with high accuracy. This paper recommends integrating computer vision-based fatigue detection and alert system into self-driving cars to automatically switch into autopilot when the driver continuously exhibits signs of fatigue.","PeriodicalId":434382,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 8th International Conference on Adaptive Science and Technology (ICAST)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121484858","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}
