Abstract ABSTRACT: The aim of this research work was to optimize the production of particle boards from agricultural waste (wood chips). The mechanical properties investigated were the modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR). The production of particle boards was investigated under the following conditions: stacking time (14- 21days), resin loading (386-463 g) and amount of agro residue (154-185 g) using Box-Behnken design. Statistically significant models (p<0.05) were developed to represent the relationship between the responses (MOE and MOR) and the independent variables. Both models showed significant fit with experimental data with R2 values of 0.99 and 0.97 respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that MOE and MOR were influenced by the stacking time, amount of resin and agro residue used. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the MOE and MOR and the optimization results showed that the maximum MOE and MOR values of 1114.09N/mm2 and 9.34 N/mm2 were respectively obtained at the optimum production conditions of stacking time, resin loading and amount of agro residue (i.e. 21days, 462.82g and 185.00 g respectively). The particle board produced at the optimized conditions satisfied the American National Standard Institute ANSI/A208.1-1999 specification for general purpose particle boards.

Abstract Abstract This study aimed to optimize the production of particle boards from agricultural waste (sawdust). The physical properties studied were Water Absorption (WA), Thickness Swelling (TS) and Linear Expansion (LE). The production of particle boards was investigated under the following conditions: stacking time (14-21 days), resin loading (386-463 g) and amount of agro residue (154-185 g) using Box-Behnken design. Statistically significant models (p<0.05) were developed to represent the relationship between the responses (WA, TS and LE) and the independent factors. The three models showed significant fit with experimental data with R2 values of 0.99, 0.99 and 0.97, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that WA, TS and LE were influenced by the stacking time, amount of resin and agro residue used. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the WA, TS and LE, and the results showed that the minimum WA, TS and LE values of 4.05%, 0.38%, and 0.34% were respectively obtained at the optimum production conditions of stacking time, resin loading and amount of agro residue (i.e. 21days, 462.82g and 185.00 g respectively).

Abstract Cooking from ancient times has evolved from using open fires to wood, gas cookers, using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This has also come with various adverse effects ranging from gas leakages to burnt food due to absent-mindedness, thereby creating a significant disaster that could lead to loss of life and property damage. The study aimed to reduce the rate of liquefied petroleum gas related accidents in domestic usage and improve the safety of domestic gas users. An automated method to enforce safety was proposed to avoid unwanted cooking gas flow consequences, especially in homes. The paper presents a control system using an Arduino Uno with a control design interfaced with a utensil sensor, solenoid valve, and a timer circuit to allow gas flow to commence and ignite a flame automatically. The automatic ignition apparatus, which has a high-voltage electric circuit, begins to function once the utensil detector comes in contact with silverware. The system is designed to function in different modes to ensure safety and prevent gas flow. The prototype serves as a means of curbing gas wastage and increasing the safety of people who use LPG as a source of fuel for cooking.

Abstract Ensuring the safety of infants around swimming pools or hazardous areas can be tasking for caregivers and their parents. Providing safety devices that can keep track of infants and prevent them from going to unauthorized locations is very necessary. The study aims to design and implement an infant safety system that uses a Piezoelectric sensor. The paper constructed a system to alert parents of an infant's attempted entry into a dangerous area, such as balconies and swimming pools, and it also incorporated an automatic doorlocking system around the location. The Piezoelectric Sensor Infant Monitoring System was designed to enhance infant safety at home. The system utilized piezoelectric transducers and pressure sensors, incorporating an automatic door to secure unauthorized zones. Components like Arduino Nano, an LCD, and a buzzer were used to create the prototype. The device was designed to harvest energy by converting mechanical energy from ambient vibrations into electrical energy that will send signals to the GSM module, alerting the homeowner by sending a call. The model adopts the technology of pressure control, and when the pressure reaches a set value and the dial of the scale reaches a specific value simultaneously, the automatic door will open. The device is designed to harvest energy by converting mechanical energy from ambient vibrations into electrical energy that will power the motor of the automatic door of the safety system. The test proved the system's effectiveness in accurately detecting and blocking an infant, but it only grants access to authorized individuals while alerting caregivers. The results demonstrated improved child safety, responsible parenting, and a secure environment. The Piezoelectric sensor safety system offers a practical solution for enhancing infant monitoring for safety and preventing avoidable mishaps, thereby reducing infant mortality and morbidity in present times. The system can serve as a protection device for very busy mothers.

Abstract This study evaluates the performance of MIMO-OFDM systems through an in-depth analysis of various modulation schemes, error correction techniques, and AI-driven optimization algorithms. Specifically, the research explores the impact of hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithms in optimizing Bit Error Rate (BER) and Mean Square Error (MSE) within these systems. Additionally, the study examines the effectiveness of Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes, particularly concatenated codes, in enhancing the error control capabilities of MIMO-OFDM systems. The findings indicate that lower-order modulation schemes yield superior BER performance, while Rayleigh and Rician fading channels exhibit varying levels of efficiency depending on the modulation applied. Through MATLAB and Simulink simulations, the research provides empirical evidence of the benefits of integrating AIbased optimization and advanced coding techniques into MIMO-OFDM systems. The results suggest significant improvements in reliability and efficiency, offering valuable insights for the design and optimization of wireless communication systems. This work contributes to the growing body of knowledge in the field and lays the groundwork for future research focused on real-world applications, exploring further advancements in MIMO-OFDM technology.Keywords -Bit error rate, Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO), MIMO-OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Signal to noise ratio.

Abstract In fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications, efficient data transmission is hindered by burst errors and packet losses resulting from multipath fading. T enhance reliability and mitigate degradation in 5G networks, it is crucial to analyse error patterns and sequences, This paper investigates and develops a two-state Markov-based error model tailored for 5G networks to capture the statistical characteristics of the error process. The model is derived from simulations of 5G wireless networks employing various modulation schemes-(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying QPSK), 16Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM) and 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (64-QAM) combined with low density Parity-Check (LDPC) and Turbo coding methods. By comparing the burst or gap error statistics from our 5G simulation with those generated by the two-state Markov error model, we demonstrate that the Markov model accurately reflects the error behaviour observed in the coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM 5G simulations. The two state-state Markov model provides valuable insights into the error processes of 5G communications and allows for the evaluation of error control strategies with reduced computational complexity and shorter simulation durations. This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of error dynamics in 5G systems and supports the development of more effective error management techniques
