Item Development of Draught Early Warning System (DEWS) in Nigeria: A Review of Progress, Challenges and Future Directions(ICEC, 2025) AJiboye, Johnson Adegbenga; Ofeoshi, C. I.; Adesiji, A. R.; Saidu, M.Drought Early Warning Systems (DEWS) are important tools for reducing the impact of drought on agriculture, water resources, and food security. This review explores drought trends in Nigeria, assessing the progress, challenges, and future directions of DEWS development. Analysis of past drought occurrences reveals that Nigeria has experienced notable drought episodes in 1914, 1924, 1935, 1943, 1951-1954, 1972-1973, and 1991-1995, with the driest decades recorded between 1970 and 1990. The increasing trend of drought events is linked to climate change, land degradation, and poor water management. Nigeria's primary DEWS, managed by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), employs indices such as the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Palmer Drought Severity Index. However, these systems face significant challenges, including data gaps, limited technological integration, and inadequate community participation. An analysis of past studies shows advancements in satellite-based vegetation health indices, climate modelling, and machine learning algorithms. However, DEWS effectiveness is hindered by institutional weaknesses, data limitations, and insufficient stakeholder engagement. Key challenges include governance, coordination, funding, and capacity building. Future research should focus on intègrating local knowledge and indigenous practices, developing more complex and integrated DEWS models, improving data quality, and enhancing communication strategies. This review aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about the need to strengthen DEWS to support drought resilience and sustainable development in Nigeria.Item Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Eccentricity Fault Classification in Salient Pole Synchronous Machine(IEEE, 2024-03-22) Shejwalkar, Ashwin; Yusuf, Latifa; Ilamparithi, Thirumarai ChelvanThe paper performs a comparative study of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for the classification of Static Eccentricity (SE) and Dynamic Eccentricity (DE) faults in a Salient Pole Synchronous Machine (SPSM).

Stator and field current data were measured, and various time-domain and frequency-domain features were extracted from the above-mentioned data. Both networks were fed these features and compared based on classification accuracy, robustness, and computational complexity.Item Deployment of an Electronic-based Approach for Fruits Juice Ingredient Analysis(International Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Driving Sustainable Development Goals (SEB4SDG) Landmark University, 2024-04-04) Kufre Esenowo Jack; Lanre Joseph Olatomiwa; Yahaya Asizehi Enesi; Grace Idowu Olaleru; Nnaemeka Emmanuel Ugwuogor; Babawuya AlkaliThis paper considers the deployment of an electronic-based fruits juice ingredient analysis. Most of the fruits juice products available in the market now contain water in large quantities than the active ingredients. This design attempts to respond to the end user's complaints. By putting on this design, it is expected to serve as a quality check and control for our teeming enterprising fruit substance producers. The system was designed and simulated using proteus and implemented using hardware electronic components. The system uses an infrared transmitter, fruit sample handler, and infrared receiver to realize its design. The instrument was calibrated with natural pineapple juice with 60% of water content. The outputs of this device were displayed using a cathode ray oscilloscope and voltmeter respectively. Five different samples of fruit juice were analyzed namely: A, B, C, D, and E. Results showed that all fruit juice contains a reasonable quantity of water which is not regarded as an adulteration since it is the natural content of the fruit. However, water content above 60% may be considered as much. It is recommended that fruit juice producers employ this system for their quality and control checks. Moreover, further research should take into consideration, the colour and viscosity of different fruit juices with a view to seeing how the system can analyze them, while the output should incorporate a microcontroller for an intelligent analysis and digital display.Item Deploying A Standalone Facial and Emotion Recognition Classroom Management System on Resource-Constrained.(Izmir Turkiye, 2024-12-20) Abdullahi, I.M., Maliki, D., Abdulqudus, A., Abraham, S.A, & Ibrahim, M.In recent times, it has been proven in most industries that deep learning can play a huge part in the development and automation of processes otherwise performed manually by humans alone. The trend however has encountered more of a shift and tend towards transfer learning where standalone systems can be built on weights that have been extensively trained to be use-case agnostic. This project seeks to address the problem of student truancy. The methodology applied is a combination of a deep learning use-case agnostic weight embedding obtained from a popular network called Face net. Recognition is performed by computing facial distances using the weight embedding. Also addressed is the common reliance on internet for functionality present in most modern-day systems by deploying all the resources necessary on a resource-constrained development board. Emotions during class are also analyzed to improve classroom experience which will be displayed on a web application dashboard powered by artificial intelligence back-end. The results obtained show an above average recognition rate of 0.63 with emotional recognition accuracy of 0.72. The implications of these results are that accurate attendance can be taken in an organization with minor increments to the system such as increased computational capabilities.Item Towards The Development of An Intelligent Evaporative Cooling System for Post-Harvest Storage of Selected Fruits(Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2024-12-03) Isah, O.R., Adebayo S.E., Nuhu, B.K., Umar, B.U., Maliki, DPoor management of post-harvest storage of fruits and vegetables has led to enormous food wastage and economic loss globally. Refrigerating systems have been adopted over the years to avert these losses; however, installing them is expensive and can cause chilling injury and moisture loss to the fruits and vegetables when they go below 20℃ temperature. An evaporative cooling system has recently been widely used to preserve fruits and vegetables because it’s cheap to implement, especially for small-scale farmers. This system reduces the temperature and increases the air humidity in their chamber by removing latent heat from the evaporated water when exposed to sunlight. The existing evaporative system has been efficient in preserving the quality of fruits and vegetables as well as extending their shelf-life; however, they lacked automated operation and control mechanisms, intelligent mechanisms capable of identifying the physical state of the fruits, adaptive control techniques for the storage and remote monitoring, feedback scheme of the system for use by the farmers. The abovementioned limitations have prevented the system from achieving optimal performance in preserving fruits. Hence, this research aims to develop a multi-chamber evaporative cooling preservative system for post-harvest storage of fruits. In the first step, Tomato images were collected and trained with the MobileNetV2 model, achieving accuracy, precision and recall of 88%, 89% and 88% respectively. Overall, the model performs well, however, fine- tuning the model or using more training data could help improve its performance furtherItem A Joint Optimization Scheme for Enhanced Breast Cancer Diagnosis using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO)(International Conference of the Faculty of Science, 2025-01-14) Ahmed, Y.E., Abdullahi, I.M., Maliki, D., & Akogbe, M.

A. Ojo; Ajiboye, Johnson Adegbenga; M. A. Ajiboye; D. J. Ajiboye; H. O. Ohize; A. A. IsaIrrigation is a practice that has existed for a long time. Irrigation is the process of supplying water to the soil during drought or unfavourable weather conditions. Over the years, irrigation practices have evolved in order to eliminate the risk of manual irrigation. This risk includes over irrigation, under irrigation, erosion among others. Modern irrigation practices aim to reduce these problems by incorporating sensor technology, Internet of Things (IoT) and automations. The aim of this work is to design and a Real-Time IoT enhanced irrigation system which utilizes data about the condition of the environment to automate the irrigation process. This system makes use of soil moisture sensor, a rain sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor to capture real time environmental data and makes logic decisions based on the collected data. An ESP 32 microcontroller functions as the brain of the system by collecting data from the sensors and controlling the pump accordingly. The system also employs lot technology using Arduino Cloud loT platform in order to provide remote accessibility. The experimental evaluation involved subjecting the irrigation system to two distinct soil conditions; one dry and the other wet. The results demonstrate the functionality of the system: when rain sensor readings fall below the set threshold of 30% and soil moisture sensor readings drop below 15%, the irrigation pump is activated to compensate for the lack of rainfall and soil moisture. Furthermore, the system responds to environmental conditions, activating the pump for an extended period when relative humidity is below 60% and the temperature exceeds 25°C. Conversely, when the soil is already wet, indicated by high soil moisture sensor readings, the pump remains permanently turned off. This automated irrigation system showcases the potential to optimize water usage and enhance efficiency in response to dynamic environmental factors.Item DSP in Communication Engineering - A Review(I3C 2024, 2024-04-22) Ajiboye, Johnson Adegbenga; Jiya Z.J; Paul M.; Ajiboye M.A; Ajiboye D.J; Majin R.NThis paper provides a comprehensive review of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in communication engineering, elucidating its fundamental principles, practical applications, and recent advancements.
