The estimation of solar radiation intensity has been a focus many researchers due to the cost setting up its actual measurements. While them employed empirical models, this study utilizes artificial neural network for analysis and global over two Nigerian cities. model developed using sunshine hours, temperatures relative humidity were compared with existing models. Model performance indicators...

Association for Artificial Intelligence Mobile Robot Competition and Exhibition featured robots trying to find and collect stationary and moving colored objects in an arena littered with real rocks. The 2day event had 11 entries participating in both single-robot and multirobot categories, both with and without manipulators. During the event, many of the robots successfully demonstrated object ...

Received Jan 2, 2015 Revised Feb 10, 2015 Accepted Mar 23, 2015 The sunshine hours and solar radiation data for Ibadan (7° 30 ́ N, 3° 54 ́ E.), South West Nigeria in the last twenty years was analyzed, with a view to determining the abundance of solar energy available for deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology applications. The measured solar radiation and actual sunshine hour data were...

in this study, estimation of global and diffuse solar radiations of selected cities in nigeria was carried out to assess the feasibility of solar energy utilization. the results of this work show the variation of direct and diffuse component of solar radiation in summer and winter months. the contribution of diffuse solar radiation is high during the monsoon months whereas sky conditions are cl...

Net primary production (NPP) is one of the approaches used to estimate amount carbon sequestration by plants. This research aims total flux exchanged from different ages oil palm using remote sensing. The study site was at PTPN VI Batang Hari, Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. plantations Jambi can be estimated sensing based on light use efficiency (LUE) model. results showed that age affects sequestr...

in order to evaluate the effect of intercropping with replacement and additive series for hemp (cannabis sativa l.) and sesame (sesamum indicum l.), a field experiment was conducted during growing season 2006-07 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. treatments included different combinat...

A 70year old male presented with a 2day history of sudden painless decreased vision in the right eye. Other than presbyopia and senile cataracts, there was no significant past ocular history. His past medical history was significant for a cerebral vascular event of unclear origin several years prior. Evaluation revealed a branch retinal artery occlusion. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) angio...

The outbreaks of new and emerging infectious diseases in recent decades have caused widespread social and economic disruptions in the global economy. Various guidelines for pandemic influenza planning are based upon traditional infection control, best practice and evidence. This paper describes the development of an early warning system for detecting disease outbreaks in the urban setting of Ho...
