ABSTRACT The properties of similar soils under two agroforestry systems, a sole Leucaena leucocephala woodlot and alley (one with cassava and the other maize in between Leucaena leucocephala hedgerows) were compared at two depths (0 - 15 cm and 15 30 cm) to assess the relative changes in soil properties due to the agroforestry practices. Similar soils under conventional tillage, adjacent natural fallow and forest reserve were also used in the study for comparison of data and evaluation of imp...

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of power flow and fault scenarios in a complex power system configuration consisting of generators, transformers, transmission lines, buses, and loads. Utilizing MATLAB's Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) and employing the Newton-Rhapson Method, power flow calculations were conducted to assess system performance under normal operating conditions. Subsequently, fault analyses, including Double Line-To-Ground Fault (DLG) and Three-Phase Fault (3φ...
