Friction is the tangential force between two contacting surfaces in relative motion. The surfaces in contact can be viewed from a microscopic point as contacting at a large number of points called asperities that are randomly distribute…

Agwu, C. C. (2020). Neural Network Controller Design for Superior Flight Management During Adverse Weather Conditions. International Journal of Energy Systems and Power Engineering, 1(1), 53-59.
Adaptive control is a control method used by a controller which must be adaptable to the controlled system in relation to the parameters which may vary, or are initially uncertain. This is concerned with the control laws changing themselves. The foundation of adaptive control is parameter estimation, which is a branch of system identification. An Artificial Neural Network is used in adaptive contr…

Ene, T. H. (2020). Enhancing Hydropower Generator Efficiency Through a Neuro-Fuzzy Optimization Approach. International Journal of Energy Systems and Power Engineering, 1(1).
In this paper, Neuro-fuzzy software tool was used to ensure a design of an optimized hydropower plant model. It was used to estimate the size and technical data in a hydraulic turbine. The neural network software was imbibed into the fuzzy logic controller. Input data of this software are hydraulic site conditions, desired operating parameters namely, water level and flow rate, as well as the desi…

Ogu, J. K. (2020). Enhancing Energy Efficiency by Reducing Power Consumption in Cell Sites Using a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller. International Journal of Energy Systems and Power Engineering, 1(1).
The high power consumption in modules of a cell site has led to high bit error rate, congestion and high cost of power consumed. This has equally led to low network performance in base station. This is overcome by improving energy efficiency through reduction of power consumption in base station or a cell site using neuro-fuzzy controller. This is overcome in this manner, characterizing and determ…

Ekuma, N. J. (2020). Optimizing Loss Reduction in Nsukka 33kV Distribution Network Through SSVC Modeling and Simulation. International Journal of Energy Systems and Power Engineering, 1(1), 11-25.
The unreliable distributed power supply in NSUKKA metropolis has liquated some companies, industries, private establishments that solely depend on power for their daily activities. The causes of unreliable power supply in NSUKKA metropolis are power losses in distribution network which has arisen as a result of eddy current, short circuit, over current, over voltage, low power factor etc. The unre…

Egiyi, M. A. (2019). Financing Healthcare in Nigeria: Impact of Out-of-Pocket Expenditure. International Journal of Advanced Finance and Accounting, 1(1).
This research work scrutinized the impact of out-of-pocket expenditure on healthcare financing in Nigeria. It was observed that out of pocket expenditure of Nigeria within the period under review has been marginally increasing. The stated hypothesis was tested using ordinary least squares regression method with a data span from 2004 to 2014. Empirical finding reveals that out of pocket expenditure…

Marovic, S., Khatri, A., Ševcova, L. (2019). Haptic Feedback and Tremor Suppression in Teleoperated Surgical Robotics for Improved Precision. International Journal of Robotics, Automation, and Control Systems, 1(1).
Background: Teleoperated surgical robotics offers enhanced dexterity and access but remains constrained by limited haptic information and operator physiological tremor. Combining high-fidelity haptic feedback with active tremor suppression may improve task precision in minimally invasive procedures. Methods: We developed a bilateral teleoperation testbed integrating configurable haptic rendering (…

This study aimed at isolating and identifying lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from goat milk and the determination of their probiotic, antimicrobial and antioxidant potential. Raw milk samples were collected into sterile corked bottles from Sokoto Red and the West African dwarf goats and transported in ice packs to the laboratory. LAB were isolated and identified following standard techniques and were …
