Comparison of Deep Learning and Psychoacoustic Models to Predict UAV Noise Impact in Soundscapes (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

* The increasing prevalence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in urban environments necessitates a deeper understanding of their impact on the experience of urban soundscapes. This study presents Machine Learning models aimed at predicting perceived annoy... Read More about Comparison of Deep Learning and Psychoacoustic Models to Predict UAV Noise Impact in Soundscapes.

Improving microgrid frequency stability through PI-PIDA-driven STATCOM optimization using a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm (2025)
Journal Article

Frequency instability caused by symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in a microgrid can cause significant oscillations and deviations from the nominal frequency. Therefore, there is a need to develop new control methods to ensure the rapid stabilizati...

Interpreting Noise Nuisance Law: Challenges, Emerging Issues, and the Need for Expanded Standards (2025)
Journal Article

The enforcement of noise pollution laws is impeded by subjective interpretations within legislation, fragmented statutes, and inconsistent enforcement mechanisms.
Noise pollution has significant impacts on public health, ranging from sleep disrupti... Read More about Interpreting Noise Nuisance Law: Challenges, Emerging Issues, and the Need for Expanded Standards.

Effect of Moisture and Temperature on FRP-strengthened Masonry Units (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study investigates the effects of temperature and humidity on fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofitted masonry structures bonded with epoxy adhesive. Although FRP strengthening is widely used, there is limited understanding of how moisture and... Read More about Effect of Moisture and Temperature on FRP-strengthened Masonry Units.

Analytical Solutions Incorporating Interfacial Mode II Fracture Energy for Predicting the Shear Response of FRP-Strengthened Concrete Samples (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely used for strengthening and rehabilitating ageing concrete structures, with their effectiveness strongly influenced by the behaviour at the FRP-concrete interface. This study presents a closed-form analytica...

Bacterial transformation is a useful tool in molecular genetics, being used to create genetically modified bacteria capable of adapting and surviving in conditions that the parent culture would not. Introducing a plasmid into a bacterial host can be... Read More about Bacteria transformation, Mini prep and PCR analysis. National Teaching Repository. Online resource..

Assessing perceptions, knowledge and satisfaction with seasonal malaria chemoprevention services: A cross-sectional study in northern Nigeria (2025)
Thesis

Introduction: Despite the remarkable progress achieved in the fight against malaria worldwide, the disease still remains a major health concern in Nigeria. In 2012, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended using seasonal malaria chemopreventio...
