abstract = {Curtailing room temperature to ambient temperature has a significant impact on our environment, energy consumption, and personal comfort. Ambient temperature could be defined as the temperature of the surrounding area or the external environment. By reducing room temperature to match the ambient temperature, the use of artificial cooling or heating systems, such as air conditioners or heaters can be minimized. The research developed an automated system using an ESP8266 Microcontroller, DHT11 Temperature Sensor, 5V Relay Module, Fan, and Power Supply to control room temperature by comparing room and ambient temperatures and adjusting fan operation accordingly for energy conservation, environmental, economic, and comfort-related benefits of aligning room temperature with ambient temperature. Room temperatures were highest in R1 (three users) at 34.33°C (PM) and 34.25°C (AM), indicating user presence maintains heat. R2 (two users) had slightly lower temperatures at 33.81°C (PM) and 33.33°C (AM), showing fewer users generate less heat. R3 (no users) showed significantly lower temperatures at 26.87°C (PM) and 26.35°C (AM), highlighting that absence of users leads to lower heat accumulation. ANOVA results show a significant effect of room conditions on temperature but no significant effect of the time of day. The Duncan Multiple Range Test indicates notable differences between room temperatures, affirming that user presence is a dominant factor in temperature variation.

abstract = {Water, a vital natural resource, is indispensable for sustaining life on Earth. However, rapid societal development and human activities have led to contamination and depletion of water resources, necessitating effective water quality monitoring systems. This article proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based approach for real-time monitoring of water quality parameters, with a specific focus on electrical conductivity (EC). Traditional methods of water quality assessment involve manual sampling and laboratory testing, which are time-consuming and often lack real-time data. The proposed system integrates a microcontroller, electrical conductivity sensor, and web tools to monitor EC levels in various water sources (Surface Water, Well Water, Factory Treated Water). The study discusses the development and testing of the IoT-based system, highlighting its potential applications in diverse sectors such as pharmaceuticals, drinking water production, and food processing. Additionally, recommendations for further research and implications for water management are discussed.

abstract = {Information and communications technologies are now integral to the conduct of military operations. Forces around the world are committing to constant technological innovation, especially since the attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11), and the subsequent War on Terror. Robust satellite communications are important to achieving decision superiority, timely response and precision by the military. This is what is required by the military at this time of serious security threat confronting the nation from within and outside the country to wriggle out of the present security challenges. Information coordination that is made available and accessible to all command involved in a theater of operation is key to a successful operation. Consolidating the military strength under a dedicated satellite will be a new path to having interconnectivity and coordination of military powers and resources at any location responding to centralized command and control as well as information sharing across the globe. To achieve this, there is need to leverage both mature and emerging space technologies such as optical and laser communications technologies, dedicated military satellite, constellations of miniaturized satellite so as to overcome dependence on resource-intensive, limited coverage area, and increasingly vulnerable application of line of sight radio communication. This paper proposes what a dedicated military satellite for our nation should composed of with other possible mature and emerging technologies to confront the security challenges that have bedeviled the nation

abstract = {Fire alarm system is used to avoid the incidence of fire outbreaks and to protect lives and property. They find direct applications in the protection of the premises of industries, private and commercial buildings. Meanwhile, an ideal fire alarm system should be able to sense the required heat or high temperatures, transmit signals, and give alert with notification when there is an occurrence of fire. Previously proposed fire alarm systems come in one form or the other, but some of them are based on unfounded assumptions and without any practical foundations. Few with related design features lack human factors and ergonomics in their design and no basis for evaluation. Thus, proposed in this work is an automatic heat detector and microcontroller-based fire alarm system. It employs the use of detection system that operates as the fire detector, buzzer for alarming and motor pump to stop the fire and the entire system is controlled by microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed using C-Programming in such way that the system can detects smoke, light, flame, heat etc. The prototype of the system was tested in real-life and it was found to work perfectly, the detail of its development was explained while recommendations for its full-scale implementation were also given.

abstract = {High heart-rate values (known as tachycardia) are usually indicators of declining health or symptoms of underlying heart disease. Heart-rate is associated with hypoxia (low blood oxygen level) which on its own could lead to permanent brain damage. This research develops a heart- rate and blood oxyhemoglobin monitoring device using the MAX30100 IC (for the heart-rate and pulse oximeter reading), an Arduino UNO IC (ATMEGA328P) as the central controller, an MLX90614 infrared temperature module and a piezo buzzer for alarm system. The measurement period was 30 seconds and a 16 by 2 LCD displayed the heart-rate and blood oxygen concentration (SpO2) content in beats per minute and percentages % respectively. An alarm was triggered if the heart-rate exceeded 100 beats per minute or the SpO2 was less than 94%. The results obtained were compared to standard devices and the errors obtained were within acceptable limit. The device could be used as alternative in health care centers and could also incorporate a GSM Module to send messages to a physician and finally biometric could be introduced to be used as an identifier to know the specific user.

abstract = {Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste and huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources in this case, natural (raw) rubber used in the production of plastic products. This study is aimed at providing alternatives use for plastic wastes in the construction industries. The lateritic soil used in this study was taken on the sedimentary formation located at Abalabi ( 53’ 13.758”N, 7’ 59.994”E), Ajegunle, along Papalanto-Ilaro road, Ogun State, Nigeria and plastic wastes were taken from different locations in Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria. The plastic wastes were cut into pieces passing through 5mm sieve and then substituted for lateritic soil in the range of 0% to 50% at 5% intervals while 0% plastic pellet substitution served as control experiment. In line with BS 1377 (1990), compaction tests were carried out on the composite materials to determine the various optimum moisture contents and maximum dry densities at different test water contents for all the substitutions. From the results, it was observed that 0% plastic pellet substitution (i. e. control experiment) has the maximum dry density value. In addition to this, 35% to 40% plastic pellet substitution has the maximum optimum moisture content value while increase in plastic pellet substitution reduces the density of the composite material. The composite material at 10% plastic pallet substitution can be used for road base and sub base and it is therefore a possible alternative solution for safe disposal of the plastic wastes from causing nuisance. Therefore environmental risk and hazard caused by plastic waste would be greatly reduced, if not completely eliminated.
