The Smart Grid (SG) as an intelligent power network, depends on a reliable and efficient communication network to provide two-way communication, which is a prime feature of the smart grid. Many researchers have proposed ...

In visible light communication(VLC),arrays consisting of a single or multi-colour light sources are employed for a dual purpose being: the provision of illumination and data transmission. Therefore, it is substantial to ...

This work presents the design and implementation of a secured smart home switching system based on wireless communications. Traditional Building Switching Systems (TBSS) used in buildings face many problems such as increasing ...

Production of biodiesel from microalgae has received worldwide recognition as an alternative to petroleum diesel. The process involves culturing, harvesting, drying, extraction, transesterification and characterisation of ...

Context: Clean drinking water is a very scarce and precious resource, a basic need for life, and requires proper management. Inconspicuous water leaks over a long period of time contribute to the loss of potable water. It ...

This work presents a programmable toolkit that allows the design and implementation of a smart weather system(SWS) at a local level. The uPyCraft software development kit (SDK) was used to load the MicroPython code and ...

The main purpose of this investigation was to study the potential application of Morupule fly ash for the removal of copper and nickel in wastewater. Batch and column study experiments were carried out by varying parameters ...

The thesis presents a flawless synthesis method for designing high quality factor (Q) on-chip microstrip resonator in the form of an inductor based on layout optimisation technique. While the layout optimisation method is ...

Alumina-based ceramic composites have attracted many research interests for several decades due to their good mechanical properties and the abundance of alumina (Al2O3) raw materials. This study was aimed at investigating ...
