Robotic Monitoring of Power Systems

Information technology plays a very important role in the progress and development of country. The technology domain is present in every sector like banking, e-commerce, tourism etc. The applications are developed using number of platforms and people are using applications more and more for number of tasks. This paper focus on IOT technology and how it is implemented in power systems like power grids to make proper automation and minimize problems that we face in manual system.

Analyses of Some Engineering Properties of Ado-Ekiti to Ilawe-Ekiti Road Soil, Southwestern Nigeria

This study sought to analyze the Engineering properties of Ado-Ekiti to Ilawe-Ekiti road soil. Soil samples were taken from three locations within the study area to laboratory for Atterberg Limits, Particle Size Distribution and Permeability tests. Results showed that the Liquid Limit (LL), Plasticity Index (PI), Shrinkage Limit (SL) and Permeability values varied from 28.48 to 32.50%, 12.03 to 23.60%, 0.6 to 0.72% and 5.14 x 10-5 ¬to 1.08 x 10-3 mms respectively for all the soil samples. 

Their clay or silt, sand and gravel also ranged from 15.3 to 34.1%, 48.1 "“ 77.2% and 3.8 "“ 13.6% respectively. The soil samples were generally and grouply classified as granular and A - 2 - 6 materials with mainly silty or clayey gravel and sand constituent materials. All the soil samples were good as subgrade, subbase and base materials. However, they have low permeability, which showed the reason for road failure in their locations. It is recommended that further study should be carried out.

Effects of Organic Carbon Content and Water Stable Aggregate on The Development of Rill and Gully Erosion in Aramoko-Ekiti

Field geological study of the area revealed that the erosion hazard has remained active over the years, defying control measures put in place by government, communities and individuals. Assessments of effects of organic carbon content and water stable aggregates on the development of rill and gully erosion in Iloro, Ikoyi, Alele and Atiba of Aramoko-Ekiti, Ekiti-State, Nigeria is presented in this study. 

Soil samples were collected from different depths of gully sites and their geotechnical properties analyzed using organic carbon content and triaxial tests. Results revealed that the soil in the study area has low organic carbon ranges from 1.39 to 1.43%, which results in less organic carbon, thus high erosion. The triaxial test results ranges from 6 to 150. These could be deduced that the soil is vulnerable to agents of gully erosion such as rainfall, slope of land-surface and human activities. An integrated approach including watershed management strategies, construction of ditches, retention pits at appropriate locations and a long-term re-vegetation strategy is suggested for controlling soil erosion and gulling in the study area.

Assessment of Permeability Characteristics of Ado-Ekiti to Ikere-Ekiti Road Soil, Southwestern Nigeria

There is need for good knowledge of soil permeability in order to estimate the quantity of fluid or water flow in soil, which will help in building and maintaining good road. The study sought to assess the permeability characteristics of Ado-Ekiti to Ikere-Ekiti road soil. Soil samples were taken from ten locations, subjected to permeability tests in Laboratory and the results analysed.

Results showed that that the permeability values obtained from grain size and falling head methods varied from 1.73 x 10-6 ¬to 2.15 x 10-3 mms and 8.46 x 10-2 ¬to 1.23 x 10-1 cms respectively for all the soil samples. These showed that some soil samples have high permeability, while others have low permeability. Though all the soil samples were well-graded. Thus, soil with high permeability portrayed high contents of granular materials (sand), while that of low permeability portrayed high contents of clay and its minerals. There is need for further study.

Effects of Termite Activities on Permeability Characteristics of Lateritic Soils in Ado-Ekiti, South Western, Nigeria

This research work evaluates the effects of termite activities on permeability characteristics of lateritic soils from two locations in Ado-Ekiti, South Western Nigeria. Six samples were taken from termite mound, that is, two each from top, bottom and where the queen of termite was found. Four other samples were taken from non-reworked surrounding soil. 

These samples were subjected to permeability tests using grain size distribution and falling head permeameter. The results showed that values of coefficient of permeability obtained using both parameters showed a slight agreement in trend for the two locations. Generally, the values are low but those obtained on soils reworked by termites were observed to be higher than the non-reworked surrounding soils. 

For instance, the values range from 4.90x10-5 ¬to 3.78x10-5 and 4.60x10-5 to 4.15x10-5 for non-reworked soils in locations 1 and 2 respectively, while for termite-reworked soils, slight increases were observed. It ranges from 7.29x10-5 to 6.10x10-5¬¬¬ and 6.95x10-5 to 4.53x10-5 for both locations 1 and 2 respectively. It therefore showed that there was a possible alteration of the permeability characteristics of the soil by the activities of the termite.

A Survey of Network-Based Detection and Defense Mechanisms Countering the IP Spoofing Problems

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The phenomenal growth of the Internet owes much to the simplicity of its design principles, which allow to widely interconnecting heterogeneous systems. The design principles of Internet' do not provide any form of control for a server to dictate how much traffic it wants to receive and from whom.

As a result, Internet hosts are vulnerable to network attacks like Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, whose economic and social impact has grown to considerable proportions. One of the major threats to the Internet is source IP address spoofing. In current Internet communication world, validity of the source of IP packet is an important issue. The problems of IP spoofing alarm legitimate users of the Internet. This paper review recent progress of IP spoofing detection and defenses by various researchers.

NSGA-II Implementation for Resource Allocation in MIMO-OFDMA

One of the most challenging issues for future wireless communication systems is the provision of quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees to users over the harsh wireless channels given the limited resource availability. The aim of this paper is to probe the problem of dynamic subcarrier and bit allocation in downlink of MIMO-OFDMA systems.

Using Singular Value Decomposition, MIMO fading channel of each subcarrier is transformed into an equivalent bank of parallel SISO sub-channels. NSGA-II is handled which is a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm, for joint allocation of bits and subcarriers, in the downlink of MIMO-OFDMA system. NSGA-II is intended for optimization problems involving multiple conflicting objectives. Here the two conflicting objectives are Rate Maximization and Transmit Power Minimization.
