An Algorithm for Failure Detection of A Power Mosfets In Non-Isolated Boost DC-DC Converters for Photovoltaic (PV) Power Systems
Huzaifa Isah*, Mutari Hajara Ali
Considering the intermittent nature of photovoltaic (PV) power generation and the potential faults within PV systems, this paper proposes an algorithm for detecting power switch failures in DC-DC converters. The algorithm does not require an additional MOSFET or extra sensors. Instead, it utilizes over-current at the slope of the input inductor as an indicator of system failure. This method proves
A Review of Africa's Paths for Inclusive Innovation in Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Artificial Intelligence
Olumayowa Joseph Iyanda, Iretiayo Adelaiye, Ayomide Afolabi, Victory Adelaiye
Across the world, emerging technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming governance, agriculture, healthcare, and education. However, the widespread adoption of such innovations in Africa is often constrained by socioeconomic, cultural, and infrastructural barriers. This review explores the relationship between AI and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) as a pathway towards inclusi
Disruptive Technology in Pharmaceutical Education and Practice: Curriculum Reforms Imperative for Africa
Michael U. Adikwu
Disruptive technology can be defined as one that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely new industry. Globally there are developments in various areas of advanced technology which are popularly known as disruptive technology. This has affected many areas of pharmaceutical education and practice such that if the curricul
AI Without Borders: Navigating Implementation Requirements for Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education Institutions in Uganda
Amwine Louis*, Kato Ronald, Edward Kabaale, Sonny Nyeko, Abdal Kasule, Kituyi Geoffrey Mayoka
Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a transformative potential for enhancing administrative efficiency, teaching methodologies, and research capabilities within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Uganda. However, the integration of AI into academic and operational frameworks is fraught with significant challenges. This study explores the specific requirements and barriers that Ugandan HEIs
Solar-Powered Cold Storage Technology: A Sustainable Energy Solution for Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables
Omodara, M. A., Akomolafe, O. P., Ajiboye, O., Adebiyi, A. O., Akinyera, O. A., Ogunbiyi, A. O., Zubair, O. M., Oyebanji, A. I., Alabi. I. T., and Ogunjirin, O. C.
Electricity supply from the national grid in rural communities in Nigeria is rarely available, making it practically difficult for farmers to preserve their fresh commodities. Poor cold chain infrastructure is a major contributor to the high postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables, which are estimated to be about 50%. While solar-powered cold storage offers great potential in providing sustain
Efficient Water Exchange System in Fish Ponds or Tanks for Improved Fish Productivity
G.K. Byaruhanga*, G. Atukunda, C. Aruho, M. Aanyu
In addition to providing foreign exchange to Uganda, fish is one of the commodities that can provide the best proteins to improve nutrition especially in children and pregnant women and hence support food security. Efforts have been made to enhance the production of fish by encouraging aquaculture to bridge the gap of the declining capture fisheries, targeting 1,000,000 tons of fish production fro
