The rapid decrease of mandatory scavenger species particularly Old-World vultures from the Accipitridae family created an ecological gap which scientists refer to as the "Vulture Gap." This research investigates the multi-trophic cascades that result from this ecological collapse especially its effects on the transition from avian to mammalian scavenger guilds. Through research synthesis we investigate how African nations and India both face emerging dangers because of diclofenac in India which has led to local pathogens losing their "dead-end" hosts between Bacillus anthracis and rabies......

The world healthcare system experiences its fundamental development through the transition from traditional herbal medicine to modern Botanical Alchemy which scientists use to create standardized medicines from unprocessed plant substances. The study investigates how medicinal plants operate at the biochemical level while focusing on the molecular behavior of secondary metabolites that include alkaloids and flavonoids and terpenoids. The research investigates how ethnobotanical practices evolved to extract active components from plants because we want.......

This study evaluates the vulnerability of agricultural land-use to climate change in Ekiti State, Nigeria, spanning 2004–2024, through integrated remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) approaches. Objectives included spatial vulnerability assessment, correlation analysis between agricultural land extent and climate variability, and quantification of climate-induced land-use/land-cover (LULC) shifts. Multi-temporal Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery facilitated supervised classification of LULC, revealing a net decline in agricultural land proxies.......

Drilling fluids are important to the efficient and safe operation of oil and gas wells because optimization of drilling fluids is essential. Conventional techniques are quite time-consuming, and are based on expert opinion and laboratory assays, which fail to provide an extrapolation to different geological settings. This paper describes the creation of interpretable machine learning (IML) systems to give actionable drilling fluid recommendations. Based on simulated datasets of the main drilling parameters such as mud weight.......

The special microscopic materials known as nanoparticles (NPs) exist on a nanometer scale, which ranges from 1 to 100 nm. These NPs can have many different shapes. Based on their origin, characteristics, form, and size, they can be divided into several classes, including Organic, Inorganic, and Carbon-based NPs. Because of their small size, the NPs have improved physical and chemical characteristics such high surface area, reactivity, stability, sensitivity, etc. There are several ways to create these NPs. NPs have been widely used in a variety of industrial and environmental applications in recent years, which is thought to be crucial. The categorization, preparation process, and uses of NPs are highlighted in this critical review article.

Tertiary institutions are major drivers of urban changeinfluencing housing demand, land markets, including settlement patterns in their host communities. Thus, the rapid growth of universities and polytechnics in Nigeria has amplified these effects, especially in peri-urban areas. Hence, this study investigated the influence of two major tertiary institutions; Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) and the Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti (FPA) on residential land uses along the Federal Polytechnic Road corridor in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The research employed a survey approach with 375 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Factor Analysis.......

The problem of power plant generation scheduling for the coordination of reliable power supply from First Independent Power Limited (FIPL) has been a major concern. The tendency to match intended daily load demand to the available plant capacity through synchronization has resulted in the loss of revenue, blackout or outages thereby reducing the production rate. This research considered the application of Lagrangian Relaxation Technique most specifically the cost equation together with the unit commitment data for the 4 generating units of the power plant with the view of reducing the cost of operation and improving the scheduling and coordination of the generating unit over 24hours in 7 periods (A-G).In the month of September.......
