Abstract Cattle rustling has become a threat and a major crime in Nigeria recently. To minimize this, there is a need to ensure cattle safety and provide substantial security when rearing cattle both in ranches and open fields. This necessitates the need to deploy technology to attenuate cattle rustling. This study developed and tested an animal tracking device using the Internet of Things (IoT). The developed system consists of three units that were interfaced together. These units are the G...
This research focuses on enhancing the optimization process of the classical ground state energy for hydrogen molecules, which is known to be -1.1373 Ha. Various well-known optimization algorithms such as Gradient Descent Optimizer, Adagrad Optimizer, Adam Optimizer, RMSProp Optimizer, and Momentum Optimizer are employed to explore their convergence behavior and their proximity to the precise ground state energy. The analysis extends to examining potential energy curves to gain insights into ...

ABSTRACT The use of solar energy through photovoltaic systems has seen rapid growth in recent years due to its environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. However, one of the main challenges that PV systems face is the accumulation of dust and debris on solar panels, which can significantly reduce their efficiency. To address this problem, we propose the design and development of a solar cell cleaning robot. This project aims to create an autonomous robot capable of cleaning solar panels e...
Remote areas that are not within the maximum breakeven grid extension distance limit will not be economical or feasible for grid connections to provide electrical power to the community (remote area). An integrated autonomous sustainable energy system is a feasible option. We worked on a novel multi optimization electrical energy assessment/power management system of a microgrid network that adopted combined dispatch, load-following, and cycle-charging strategies (control system) that acted a...

Maternal carrier status of hepatitis B has been associated with excess sons while maternal immunity to it has been associated with excess daughters at birth. However, the proportion of males at birth (sex ratio) is relatively low in Sub-Saharan Africa despite the relatively high prevalence of hepatitis B. However, no known study has tested this hypothesis in the Ghanaian population, hence the aim of the study. The study was cross-sectional between January and September 2023 at the Tamale Cent...
