Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to levulinic acid via acid catalysis: Current methods, opportunities and challenges for self-sustaining biorefineries (2025)
Journal Article

In recent years, integrated biorefineries have received growing interest as to maximise the extractable value from biomass in the form of green platform chemicals in order to support the establishment of a low carbon economy. Research and development... Read More about Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to levulinic acid via acid catalysis: Current methods, opportunities and challenges for self-sustaining biorefineries.

Application of the applied element method to a reinforced concrete sub- assemblage under a column-removal scenario (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper validates and calibrates the applied element method (AEM) by modelling experimental results from the literature that examine the behaviour of reinforced concrete sub-assemblages under column-removal scenarios. Additionally, the paper ident... Read More about Application of the applied element method to a reinforced concrete sub- assemblage under a column-removal scenario.

A novel data-centric AI approach based on sensitivity and correlation analyses for multi-organ plant disease classification (2025)
Journal Article

With advancements in deep learning (DL), most research on classification problems has focused on developing or modifying DL models, known as model-centric artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. However, this approach is time-consuming and overlooks... Read More about A novel data-centric AI approach based on sensitivity and correlation analyses for multi-organ plant disease classification.

Mainstreaming indigenous knowledge in flood disaster management - A case study of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria (2025)
Thesis

This dissertation investigated the integration of indigenous knowledge into flood disaster management in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. To achieve the purpose of the study, four research questions were posed to guide the study; What factors are r...

An Improved Optimized Link State Routing Protocol for Optimum Quality of Service Device-to Device Routing and Energy Efficiency (2025)
Thesis

The Fifth generation (5G) and Beyond 5G (B5G) cellular network's traffic load is certain to
expand significantly in the near future as a result of its flexibility, high speed, increased
bandwidth, better connectivity and low latency. One such techn... Read More about An Improved Optimized Link State Routing Protocol for Optimum Quality of Service Device-to Device Routing and Energy Efficiency.
