Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies as Drivers of Inclusive Innovation
Benallou Houria*, Tiress Mohammed
This study highlights the transformative role of AI and emerging technologies in driving inclusive innovation, particularly in healthcare, education, and governance. While these technologies offer great potential to bridge gaps and foster development, challenges such as weak infrastructure, regulatory limitations, and ethical concerns remain significant. The paper recommends stronger policy framew
Prediction of Fuel-related Properties of papaya Seed Oil and Lard Oil Methyl esters from their fatty acid methyl ester compositions-based models
Ezekannagha C. B.*, Onukwuli O. D.
This work aims to establish a correlation between the compositions of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and the key fuel properties of methyl ester. The experimental data of the analysis was obtained from the methyl esters of calcined hybrid-banana-plantain-peel ash (CHBPPA)-catalyzed methanolysis of papaya seed oil (PSO) and lard oil (LO) produced at the optimal reaction conditions of temperature 60
Performance Evaluation of a Brake Fluid Tester for Testing the Suitability of Natural Oils as Brake Fluids
Oluwaseun Kayode Ajayi, Shengzhi Du, Ameen Jadesola Anuoluwapo, Samuel Omotara
The abundant natural resources in African countries continue to receive attention with the advocacy for clean environments (SDG 7) and technological innovations (SDG 9). Many seed oils extracted have innumerable potentials, but few of these have been explored. Dynamometers are used to test engine and brake performances with different fuels or brake types. This work presents a brake dynamometer dev
Hybrid Solar PV–CHP–Biomass Energy System Modeling and Optimization with Battery Storage Impact Employing Differential Evolution Algorithm.
Dedacus N. Ohaegbuchi*, Maliki S. Olaniyi, Oliver Dzobo, Lawrence Ezemonye
The electric, thermal and cooling energy needs keep on increasing consistently due to the increasing consumption patterns. Diversification of energy sources, energy affordability and emissions reduction, as well as enhancing the performance and responsiveness of centralized energy networks have ensured hybrid energy systems are becoming crucial. This paper introduces a hybrid design based on photo
Parameterizing Key Elements for Simulating Pearl Millet (Pennisetumglaucum L.) Productivity In Semi-Arid Environments: A Calibration and Validation Approach
Nureni I. Lawal, Muhammad M. Haruna, Jibrin M. Dibal
Given the water scarcity and nutritional importance of millet in semi-arid Northeastern Nigeria, this study evaluated the AquaCrop model's performance using pearl millet in Maiduguri. Two-year field experiments under deficit irrigation provided data for model evaluation. A custom millet crop file was developed, calibrated with 2022/2023 data, and validated with 2021/2022 data. The model accurately
OSIKANI Farm Solution: Optimized Solar-Integrated Knowledgeable Agricultural Node for Innovation A Low-Cost, Remote-Controlled Smart Farming System for Sustainable Small-scale Farming
S.A. Nchor, E.E. Wusu-Manu, A.S.N. Acheampong, A.M. Doku, I. Abubakar, E. Odoom
This work presents the OSIKANI Farm Solution, developed to address persistent challenges in small-scale farming such as labor shortages, unreliable power supply, and inefficient use of resources. The system was built from locally sourced materials and incorporated a 60 W solar panel, rechargeable lithium battery, high torque DC motors, sensors, relays, and a GSM module for mobile alerts.
