Security challenges in Nigeria specifically and the world everywhere have become the best difficulties of man in the ongoing occasions, because of the rising paces of wrongdoings like robberies, theft, seizing, executing and furnished burglary. The point of this undertaking was to develop a GSM based home security alert system, that will be fit for identifying an interloper, send ready message to mortgage holder, and initiate a bell caution. The security ready framework has been effectively built utilizing a uninvolved infrared (PIR ) sensor. Arduino microcontroller was utilized to interface between the PIR sensor (input) and the GSM/buzzer (yield) gadgets. The PIR sensor was proposed to recognize the nearness of human and convert the identified sign into electrical voltage signal. The arduino uno was to process the flag and send directions to GSM module and buzzer, at the same time. The developed gadget was tried by enabling human to move before the PIR sensor and the GSM module sent an instant message to the mortgage holder, that there is an intruder, while the ringer sounded simultaneously, affirming its usefulness.
The corrosion behavior of mild steel in carbonated drinks produced by Nigerian Breweries (Fanta, Sprite and Coke) was studied in the presence and absence of an eco-friendly inhibitor, Chrysophyllum albidum using Potentiodynamic polarization technique at 25 °C. Results showed that Chrysophyllum albidum reduced the current density (icorr), which in turn means that the corrosion rate was reduced significantly. The inhibition efficiency was found to be 93%, 78.6% and 87.5% for Fanta, Sprite and Coke respectively. The study also showed that Chrysophyllum albidum functioned as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor in the three environments studied and therefore presents it as a long-term inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel.
This work presents the synthesis of activated carbon, a very important material with lots of use cases in textile, food industries and even in energy storage as an electrode material in supercapacitor development. Abundantly available cassava peels was used as a raw material for the production of the activated carbon by adopting the chemical activation approach which utilized KOH as activating agent. The activation was carried out at 8000C in a tubular furnace. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) showed that a highly porous carbon structure was achieved with high specific surface area of 828m2g-1as evident from the BET results. Raman spectrophotometer analysis showed that the prepared activated carbon was highly graphitized as seen from the G peak. The existence of mesopores and micropores was confirmed by the N2 adsorption/desorption analysis which also revealed the presence of a hysteris loop and a P/P0=0.45 value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
