Abstract— The forces of magnetism, electricity, and gravity emanate from a fundamental, universal field that saturates the cosmos, forming the essence of reality. Within this field, swirling motions generate magnetic fields, while dynamic fluctuations create electric fields. Gravitational fields emerge from either compression or divergence within this foundational field. When translated into mathematical expressions, these relationships elucidate how electric and magnetic fields can be mani...
The theory of forecasting exchange rate has been in existence for many centuries where different models yield different forecasting results either in the sample or out of sample (Onasanya & Adeniji, 2013). A country's exchange rate is one of the most closely monitored indicators, as fluctuations in exchange rates can have far reaching economic consequences (Ribeiro, 2016). The recent financial turmoil all over the world demonstrates the urgency of perfect information of the exchange rates (Sh...
Abstract The theory of forecasting exchange rate has been in existence for many centuries where different models yield different forecasting results either in the sample or out of sample (Onasanya & Adeniji, 2013).

Abstract Aim: This study evaluated the effects of ginger (Zingiber officinale), garlic (Allium sativum), and salt on the quality, nutritional composition, and shelf life of both laboratory-fermented and market-purchased locust bean products. Methods: Raw seeds were boiled, dehulled, and fermented naturally for 36 hours. Fermented samples were treated with individual and combined preservatives (2% w/w) and stored at ambient temperature (28–30 °C) for 75 days. The proximate and elemental c...
Abstract Metropolitan cities worldwide face a persistent and evolving challenge in managing smog and air pollution, phenomena with profound implications for public health, environmental integrity,and economic stability. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of urban air quality, systematically integrating principles from physics, engineering science, and mechanical engineering to elucidate the formation, dispersion, and control of pollutants. Beginning with a historical perspective...
ABSTRACT This study investigated the nutritional composition of cooked and raw samples of Cowpea (Vignaunguiculata) and Mung bean (Vignaradiata), two vital legumes in human diets. Proximate analysis, mineral content and vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) compositions were evaluated using standard methods. Results showed significant differences in moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fiber, crude lipid and carbohydrates contents between cowpea and mung bean. Cooked cowpea had higher crude protein (11.25 ...
Microplastics (MPs), often termed “silent invaders,” have become ubiquitous pollutants across both terrestrial and aquatic environments, raising significant concerns in respect of their toxicological and ecological consequences. Thisr eview provides an in-depth multiscale evaluation of the toxic effects of microplastics, from molecular disruptions to ecosystem-level disturbances. Special priority is placed on the capacity of microplastics to act as vectors for a range of environmental ...
Microplastic pollution has become a prevalent environmental issue, with particles smaller than 5 millimeters infiltrating virtually every ecosystem. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of microplastic sources, formation mechanisms, quantification techniques, environmental impacts, toxicological effects, and remediation strategies. Microplastics originate from both primary and secondary sources. Primary microplastics include deliberately manufactured particles such as microbeads ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have gained immense popularity in forecasting outbreaks, tracking their spread, and suggesting possible policies concerning COVID-19, much more than they were used to show intellectual merit. Real-time information on mobility patterns, electronic health records, and social media trends was analyzed along a fast data response line for the purpose of hotspot identification, behavior tracking, and resource allocation optimizatio...
The impacts of high concentrations of particulate matter in ambient air due to incessant anthropogenic activities have become a tremendous concern as regards to public health issues associated with it. This study aimed at assessing some meteorological parameters and particulate matter concentrations in ambient air around Bodo and Bori the largest communities in Ogoni in Rivers State. Okwale and Bera Mogho communities, distant from the study areas, served as control 1 and control 2 res...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze and determined the microbiological and physiochemical parameters of effluent water samples obtained from different points of collection at point R in Sokoto abattoir, Nigeria and its impact on the microbial population of the receiving soil and river were studied. A total of four samples were analyzed for total heterotrophic bacterial count, fungal count, and coliform count. The media used were nutrient agar, Sabroud’s dextrose agar, eosin methyl...
Many real-world and social problems give rise to product index nonlinear simultaneous equations, which traditional solution methods, whether direct or iterative, fail to solve effectively. These equations appear in diverse fields, necessitating a specialized approach to ensure accurate and efficient solutions. Existing methods for solving linear simultaneous equations are insufficient for addressing product index nonlinear simultaneous equations. Given their frequent occurrence in practica...
Advancements in stem cell research have revolutionized regenerative medicine by offering innovative approaches for repairing damaged tissues and treating previously incurable diseases. This paper explores breakthroughs in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), CRISPR-based gene editing, and organoid development. Key potential therapies include regenerative treatments for neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. Despite the promise, ethical challenges, immune rejection, ...
ABSTRACT An autonomous pickup and delivery system is a system that is automated to perform the traditional/ manual pickup and delivery service with minimal or without need of human intervention. The automatic pickup and delivery system is a system for the transmission of material objects between homes, stores and offices. This provides as much convenience as possible for pickup and deliveries. The aim of this project is to design and implement an autonomous pickup and delivery system by creat...
The agenda of the United Nations[1] (under the Sustainable Development Goal[2]) ,the international Energy Agency[3] , International Civil Aviation Organization amongst other climate change focused organizations are tailored towards addressing the global crisis of climate change mitigation (i.e., depletion of the [4]ozone layer due to the adverse effect of carbon emission activities which has proven to be pungent, lethal, non-degradable[5] with zero socio-economic relevance) which is solely ...
