Therefore, the investigative analysis of their effectiveness in the discrimination of student based on their academic achievement would have been the major research co...Show More
Heart disease has recently risen to prominence as one of the leading killers and most pervasive diseases in the globe. Detection of heart disease in an early stage using heart disease symptoms is an exciting task. In developing nations such as Ethiopia where the number of cardiologists is limited and most of the population lives in rural and remote areas, an effective decision support system is cr...Show More
Most of the time, people use their voices for communication and their vision to interact with the external environment. There are people who do not have the opportunity to use their vision to interact with the external environment due to different factors of disability. One of those community groups is the blind people. Blind people can communicate with other people with the help of their sounds, ...Show More
In Ethiopia, imported and locally manufactured electric stoves are used for cooking and baking food. An imported electric stove consumes less electric power, whereas locally manufactured electric stoves are the most energyconsuming appliances in the household. In both cases, electric power is dissipated in the form of heat through the resistor even though the power indicator is in the closed posit...Show More
Despite the fact that commercial 3G and 4G deployment is already underway in many nations, the introduction and development of 5G and 6G wireless communication technology is the result of the demand for ultra-high-speed communications and rapidly rising data rates.

In this paper, the electric power sector in some selected countries in Africa was reviewed with respect to their generating capacity, available capacity, and energy access rate. Africa is known to be a formidable market for investors; however, with the present energy shortage, there are indications that investors might look elsewhere where affordable and clean energy is guaranteed. This paper, the...Show More
The town of Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu's Virudhunagar district in India produces majority of the country's consumption of firework items. Handling numerous chemicals is a necessary part of the firework industry's manufacturing process. As a result, the firework industry is commonly reported to be highly dangerous because of the hazardous nature of the chemicals used to create the sparkling effects dur...Show More
A modern power system network is an interconnection of generating stations, long transmission lines, and distribution network loads. Interconnected power system networks face various challenges of instability. The presence of a dynamic disturbance in the power system network causes the problem of power system dynamic instability. Changes in the load, the use of high gain exciters, the use of high ...Show More
One of the most effective solutions in the preventive endeavors for infectious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic is the application of frequent hand washing. In developing countries, there are several low cost touch-free hand washing solutions involving the use of foot operated mechanisms. However, the use of embedded processors in the design of automatic electronic systems to provide conveni...Show More
The dynamic nature of threats associated with electronic warfare (EW) requires state-of-the-art algorithms to cater for these threats. In recent times, electronic intelligence (ELINT) is being used to solve this challenge in various subfields. This paper presents an ELINT system which is used to determine the identity of captured radar signals through the use of instantaneous power (IP). The IP wa...Show More
Solar photovoltaics are in recent times being used to replace fuel-based lighting and off-grid electrical needs. This study presents the evaluation of solar photovoltaic power systems in Dirashe Woreda of Ethiopia. The study was performed to assess and analysis the data which were acquired from the selected site. A descriptive survey was used to assess the information gathered. Empirical models we...Show More
Ethiopian access to electricity remains severely limited with a per capita use of about 81 kWH, which is significantly below the 550 kWH consumed by Africans. The energy requirement of Ethiopian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is increasing daily with a corresponding increase in infrastructure and student population. This paper presents a “Green Campus Initiative” to HEIs aimed at providing i...Show More
This study investigated the feasibility of using a hybrid combination of solar, wind, and diesel generator to be connected with the existing electricity grid for some selected higher institutions in Nigeria. A model was developed to analyze the sustainability and efficiency of the hybrid energy system for Nigerian higher institutions. The selected locations for investigation were Afe Babalola Univ...Show More
Multimodal medical image fusion is the process of combining two or more multimodal medical images to increase the quality and to extract maximum information from the output image for better treatment and precise diagnosis. The fused image obtained from non-fuzzy sets lacks correlation. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian and clinical image processing as ...Show More
This paper presents the implementation of an automatic drip irrigation system. The proposed system uses sensors to monitor the status of the soil moisture and temperature depending on the information received by the microcontroller. The temperature and soil moisture sensors were used to sense the weather conditions which were sent to the microcontroller. For the implementation of the system, we us...Show More
Automated meter reading (AMR) systems are used to effectively help utilize resources which are dependent on electricity in the home. They find numerous areas of application such as smart home, radio frequency networks, and touch-based AMR. Electrical energy consumption is proportional to the level of usage of electricity, thus, the higher the usage of electricity, the higher the billing cost. The ...Show More
Vehicle theft is a growing menace which poses serious problems in the society. The theft of vehicles affects vehicle owners, insurance companies, security companies as well as the society at large.
