Availability is one of the main factors to measure the QoS of any telecommunication networks. An accurate availability prediction for Free Space Optical link of carrier class grade is needed. In tropical areas, rain is the most dominant factor affecting the FSO link availability. In this paper, the effect of rain attenuation on the availability of

Total hip arthroplasty is a flourishing orthopedic surgery, generating billions of dollars of revenue. The cost associated with the fabrication of implants has been increasing year by year, and this phenomenon has burdened the patient with extra charges. Consequently, this study will focus on designing an accurate implant via implementing the rever

This study aims to highlight the existing issues of e-learning in the developing country such as Nigeria. As e-learning becomes important in the delivery of education with less consideration for distance, time and cost, however, it is still a dream in some part of the world as some issues are presently unavoidable and rendered this important aspect

Various cases of security breaches and attacks has been experienced globally, and high-level cases of cyber-attacks that threaten security has been documented. Attacks from various hacking groups have been conducted on organizations like the LuzSec, Stuxnet and many others that caused various levels of damages. Recent years have even seen groups th

Every organization/institution is exposed to some kinds of risks that can affect them in many ways. Risks like fire, theft, damage of assets, illegal intruders etc. can affect them strategically, financially and operationally. It can also damage their reputations. Educational institutions like Universities are also exposed to these risks. This rese

An alkaloid from Maclurodendron porteri has been isolated and characterized. Extraction process was conducted by acid-base extraction method followed by column chromatography. The structure was established by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The compound was identified as haplophytin B which occurs commonly in the Ruta

Detail literature review indicates a growing concern over the purpose of the BQ to the practice and needs of contracting organisations. However, the number of studies dedicated to comprehensively review how BQ is used by these organisations is limited. This review is conducted with the aim to identify the fundamental usage of BQ to contracting orga

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide annually. The proto-oncogene Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2(HER-2/neu) (C-erbB-2) has been localized to chromosome 17q and encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor. The activation of the Her-2/neu oncogene triggers

The usage of data mining technique in collecting data from software repositories involves the extraction of both basic and value-added information from existing software repositories. Regular Expressions (Regex) provide a mechanism to select specific strings from a set of character strings. In this paper, we discuss how regular expressions are used

Dysregulation of P70 ribosomal S6 kinase (P70S6K) has been observed in many cancers; therefore, the design of new molecules targeting p70S6K of paramount importance in cancer therapy. The current study employed a group-based quantitative structure-activity relationship (GQSAR) to develop global QSAR models capable of predicting the bioactivity of P
