Challenges Of Data Capturing In Smart Cities
Smart cities are becoming more ubiquitous. It covers all areas that makes the standard of living of the citizens easier. Sensors are implanted everywhere in the city to make the capturing of data much easier and in real time. These sensors communicate with each other using internet of things. There might be failure in the devices that are implanted in the cities... Continue here

Non-degenerate Fourth Order Perturbation Theory
There exist several forms of perturbation theory in Quantum Mechanics, namely: non-degenerate perturbation theory, degenerate perturbation theory, time-dependent perturbation theory, time-constant perturbation theory and time-harmonic perturbation theory. This paper presents an extension of the perturbation theory for non-degenerate states.  It has been... Continue here

Evaluation Of Structural Defects And The Dynamic Of Stress And Strain On A Building Along Oluwole Area, Southwestern Nigeria
This research was carried out within the Basement Complex terrain along Oluwole, off Akure High School, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria, with the aim to ascertain the reasons for the major cracks and sign of apparent failures observed in a building few years after its construction and usage. The geophysical investigation involved two electrical resistivity techniques;... Continue here
