Abstract This study performed a correlation analysis between groundwater quality parameters with organic and inorganic pollutants using the area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) map in Kano Metropolis, North-western Nigeria. The aim is to present spatial relationship existing vulnerability condition resources view developing risk map. Eight water (Ca, Al, Cl, NO3, T...

Color Calibration Device is a key component for the performance of Medical Display Monitor (MDM). MDMs have been extensively used in hospitals in the past decades. The technological requirements of MDMs are higher than those of general purpose display monitors, but the gross profit margins of MDMS are larger as well. The purpose of this research is to build a hybrid multiple criteria decision m...

Congestion has become part of everyday urban life, and resilience is very crucial to traffic vulnerability sustainable mobility. This research employed a neural network as an adaptive artificially-intelligent application study the complex domains transport system in Nigerian cities (Kano Lagos). The input criteria train check models for are demographic variables, geospatial data, parameters, in...

This study employed the peak-end rule and Kano model in assessment of user satisfaction during product-use experience. Because they reflect different aspects satisfaction, we investigated similarities differences between two approaches integrated them analysis process. We find that emotional component rule, which directly indicates important emotions users, usability model, provides useful info...
