Although the applications of renewable energy in Libya were started in the last few decades, they have only gained momentum in the last few years. Considering the past gained experience, a proposed national Renewable Energy plan aims toward bringing RE into the main stream of the national energy supply system with a target contribution of 10% of the electricity demand by the year 2020. The aim of this paper is to design a house that works with some renewable energy applications in one of the Libyan cities called Bani Walid. This paper includes some important steps for designing a home such as solar home design steps, wind energy calculations, battery sizing, and cost considerations.

The application of geostatistics to data obtained from mineral prospecting can provide useful information for evaluating mineralization potential. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the spatial distribution of elements, establish relationships and understand chemical associations during mineral paragenesis in the studied area of Kaiama, Northcentral Nigeria. Major Oxide and Trace element analysis were carried out on 17 samples collected from three geologic media which are stream sediments, soils, and veins. The Geochemical results were subjected to multivariate statistical treatments in the form of correlation matrix (CM), Factor analysis (PCA), along with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) in order to classify the elements into groups that may signify common origin. All multivariate statistical tests were performed using SPSS (PASW Statistics 18) for Windows. The trace element geochemical composition shows significant anomalous concentration of Sn, W, Ta, Ti, and Fe. Au, Cu shows moderate to very high correlation. Areas of significant anomalous concentration were in the 2-4 km eastern outskirt of Kaiama and as well as 6-10 km south of Kaiama. Sn-W were more to the eastern outskirt while Sn-Ta were more in the southern part of Kaiama. All other trace elements V, Ni, Sr, Sb, Cd etc. shows low concentration with each other and are not significant in the mineralization of Kaiama. Further exploration work should be concentrated on soils and stream sediments towards delineating the possible ore deposit in the area of Kaiama and environs.

In aiming to provide an economical supply of potable water for the inhabitant of University of Ilorin and its environs, 2-D Electrical Resistivity Tomographic development was adopted. A 2-D Electrical Resistivity Tomographic Techniques involves the application of gridded Wenner electrode arrangement in determining the variation of subsurface resistivity distribution. The surveying were carried out on field by employing 7 profiles containing 22 layouts all together with a constant surveying lengths of 150 m. The data obtained on field were inverted to obtain a pseudo-section where clearer models of the depth and apparent formation resistivity can be viewed at the same time using EarthImager Software. Three geo-electric layers were delineated which are Top soil, weathered/fractured Basement and fresh Basement. Out of the 7 profiles obtained the fresh Basement rock was only seen at profile F-F’ having resistivity values ranging from 2000.1 to 10000 Ωm. The thickness of the weathered/fractured basement (aquifer) is generally greater than 22.0 m and with a low resistivity values which are less than 30 Ωm at some zones. In conclusion, this study shows some levels of confidence that the groundwater potential within Unilorin substratum is of economic volume that is capable to sustain Unilorin and its environs.

There is need to provide resilient security methodologies that do not require enormous computing resources. While entry prevention is the most viable disposition, it is not always possible to stop unauthorised access. Thus, it is critical to investigate the use of machine learning-based intrusion detection to buttress and provide sufficient security against DOS and other attacks in MANETs. Various anomaly-based intrusion detection systems employ varying techniques to identify anomalies in the context of diverse and valid variables. Most of these techniques, however, fail to capture and take account the physiognomies of MANETs. In the intervening time, usage of the internet of things in the provision of smart healthcare is expanding and the inherent risks snowballing. This study designed a model, which used a fusion of machine learning techniques through both simulation and a running prototype to achieve a more resilient intrusion detection system. The study was designed using functional decomposition methodology and implemented using PPDIO and evaluated on a MANET environment on both Linux NS 2 and further implemented on a network of Smart wearable devices and Raspberry Pi.

This paper focused on information technology (IT) adoption among Cultural institutions in Western Uganda. It was aimed at identifying academic based references to information technologies that plays a role in safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), assessing the status of IT adoption by the cultural institutions and providing suggestions to stakeholders in culture on improving information technologies adoption in safeguarding ICH. IT technologies were grouped into two; online and offline based technologies. An examination on primary data collected using interviews and questionnaires revealed that adoption of these technologies is determined by I.T human resource, I.T knowledge of the users and resource base of the cultural institutions. In order to achieve full adoption of IT, There should be a right mix of offline as processing tools and online as dissemination and archiving tool; hiring and retain professional I.T human resources and increasing on I.T budgets. The paper concluded that without a right mix of all these aspects, I.T adoption as a driver of safeguarding measures of ICH remains can only remain dream for stakeholders in Culture.

Euler deconvolution and Source Parameter Imaging (SPI) geophysical interpretation techniques using Oasis Montaj version 6.4 was applied to estimate basement depth of northeastern part of Sokoto basin, northwestern Nigeria. The study area lies between longitudes of 505"E to 605"E and latitude 1205"N to 1305"N. The results of the studies indicate an increase in sedimentation northwards, with several depressions on the basement rock. The Euler deconvolution results shows the maximum depth in the study area to be 2.39 km, while Source parameter imaging indicates 1.79 km to be the highest depth. The areas where higher sedimentary thickness are observed such as sheet 11 (Rabah) and sheet 12 (Isah), are the most prospect sites where threshold temperatures could be attained.

PT Intan Sejati is a company engaged in printing services. The production process at PT. Intan Sejati uses 96 machines. The maintenance activities carried out by the company are corrective maintenance. Engine damage in the period (January-December) in 2018 shows that there are 636 engine failures that require part replacement with 44% of damage occurring in the printing machine, which means the machine's printing process is a critical machine. This study was conducted to classify the criterion index part of the machine using the Reliability Centered Spares method, sorting out critical parts repairable and non repairable, determining the needs of critical parts using the Poisson Process method, determining the minimum and maximum stock quantities, determining the size of orders for economic parts using the Economic Order Quantity. The results of the RCS worksheet show that there are 3 high critical classification parts, 52 medium critical classification parts, 33 low critical classification parts and 48 not critical classification parts. The calculation of part requirements is carried out on 14 part units which are included in the high category and critical medium and have a frequency of damage ≥3 times. 14 units of parts are included in the category of non repairable parts. The biggest critical part needs are on the XL 105 engine with 61 units and the smallest need is on the SM 52 A engine with 21 units. The largest maximum and minimum amount of inventory is on the CD 102 machine with a supply range of 9-26 units and the smallest inventory is on the XL 105 engine with a supply range of 2-3 units. The largest economical ordering size is on the SM 102 B engine with 11 units and the smallest on the XL 105 engine with 2 units.

Quality in construction sectors is highly dependent upon the services delivered by the respective parties. Since the consulting firms are the one of key resourceful players of any construction projects, the services rendered by the consulting firms performs a vital role before and during the execution of construction for maintaining the quality. This study analyzed the priority order among the success factors determining the quality through AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis method after redefining the quality elements of consulting service. The determinants of quality service of consulting service mentioned were configured with SERVQUAL set as the default model. For this study, survey was conducted on 11 public entities who were involved in procuring the consultants for building projects. Public entities were the main sources of primary data collection and published literature, reports and journals were referred as secondary source of infirmities. This research was intended to find out the important determinants of the consulting services, by hierarchizing the service factors for performing the building projects after deriving the relative priority based on the studies on consulting service quality factors. The survey result was produced based on the clients’ perspective (58 respondents) with inconsistency value equal to 0.1. The results of compared analysis between 5 determinants of service quality (Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangibles, and Empathy) of Hierarchy 2, the upper layer in the hierarchy of services performance factors and 25 measuring factors of Hierarchy 3 under Hierarchy 2 was presented with inconsistency less than 0.01.
