ABSTRACT As technology evolves in telecommunication, the choice of the kind of radio to be used for data transfer in a multi-radio system at a particular time remains a challenge, especially in device-to-device (D2D) communications. This is evident in devices such as phones where multiple radio systems such as Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), and Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) are present. Despite all these radios in place, the selection ...

ABSTRACT The  study assessed  the  effects  of  cooperative  societies  on  women  involvement  in groundnut processing in Agricultural Zone I of Niger State, Nigeria using a sample of 205 groundnut processors  randomly selected using Taro Yamane formula at 5% error tolerance and 95% level of confidence from the study area.

ABSTRACT Climate variability has been one of the major issues of the 21st century. The idea is to understand the differences in the climatic conditions and long-term catchment regimes using mean monthly seasonality indices and to explore the differences in the hydrological parameters at the long-term event scale. This comparatively analyze of spatial temporal variations in hydrological parameters at Kainji and Shiroro Dams in Niger State towards achieving a better ...

ABSTRACT Effect of vertical rectangular openings on the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beam is presented. Twelve reinforced concrete beams of dimension 200m x 230mm x 700mm with different sizes of rectangular openings, 25mm x 35mm, 50mm x 60mm and 75mm x 85mm which are placed at 150 mm from the supports, were cast. After curing, these beams were tested under centre-point loading system using universal testing machine and the ...

ABSTRACT Soft frequency reuse (SFR) techniques have been deployed to address the problem of interference  experienced  by  users  in  cellular  networks.  In  some  of  these  techniques, resources allocations are based on the assumption that users are uniformly distributed.However, in a real network scenario where SFR is deployed for resource allocation, the distribution of users in the network regions is random. Analysis of the impact of random deployment of users in ...

Abstract Rainfall variability is an important driver of vegetation shift or dynamics.

ABSTRACT Majority of enterprises of various industries rarely utilize the vast internally and externally generated data available in the business for productive and improved performance of the sectors. This has been due to the paucity of reliable intelligent systems to enable such sectors to fully manipulate these vast heterogeneous data. The concept of Business Intelligence comes handy to resolve the problem involved in decision making as well as in taking ...

ABSTRACT Relational databases have been the norm in the Information Technology (IT) industry because of the ease of operation when low-cost servers were considered to be extremely powerful. However, with the advent of web 2.0 technology and expansion in computer growth, these databases were unable to sustain most major demands like speed, scalability, reliability, continuous availability, cost reduction and location independence.As a result of this inadequacy, the NoSQL systems were ...
