Design and development of Smart Water Quality Monitoring System Using IoT
Get PDFAs water is one of the basic needs of human beings, shortage of water we cannot live on. Water pollution and scarcity, are current global problems that require modification of water resources and guiding principles from the international level to individual wells. Water pollution is the leading cause of diseases worldwide. Previously, water quality monitoring was done through a physical collection of data; there was no smart sensor system. This led to inefficiency, especially, in real-time data access, device monitoring, and less accurate collection of data. There is a need to integrate mechanisms to monitor water quality in real-time, to ensure a safe supply of drinking water. Hence, the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT) which allows connections between various devices that can exchange and gather data emerged. To solve these issues, a low-cost real-time that is real-time platform based on the Internet of Things (IoT), and LoRa (Long Range) technology is proposed for monitoring water quality. The platform will measure and collect critical information about water quality. Such quality involves parameters like pH value, turbidity, and temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. The platform will additionally establish communication to the end-user, through LoRa Gateway and the internet. It will simultaneously provide data access, accurate data collection, and supervision of the component, whereby the user will notice if the virtual device is not receiving any data at a given time interval. The developed platform will consist of five different parts: sensor devices, IoT Board, Lora Gateway, cloud server, and user domain.
The Lora Getaway will transmit the sensor data to the cloud through the internet to the cloud server. The cloud server is equipped with Matlab analysis and visualization applications which manipulate and analyze the data, to monitor the quality of the water. In the end, the useful information is visualized from the user domain for any decision-making process. The paper argues that the proposed platform is important in ensuring a safe supply of quality drinking water for people worldwide
Allow Crude Oil to Die a Natural Death
Get PDFThe sudden calls for the end of fossil fuel production as a source of energy inspired this research. This study attempts to understand if these calls are due to “cartelization by political bodies” as described by Libecap, in 1972, promotion of self-benefits, or genuine calls based on disastrous impacts of global warming and general climate changes. Alternative energy sources and their present sustainability will be examined, policies affecting fossil fuels over time will be identified, the effects of these global and national policies, the politics behind calls and perspectives from various continents will be discussed, the lowest and highest GHG emitters will be identified, and recommendations will be made on the best course of action based on reviews and findings from around the world. Furthermore, this study understands that the world is a global village and considered the effect of climate change as a global challenge, however, its arguments and suggestion were made by critical analysis of the causation, major beneficiaries of policies, effects on countries dependent on fossil fuels, responses towards the effect of emission, and impact of climate change
Development of IoT-Based System for Monitoring Electrical Energy Consumption of the Smart and Rental Houses in Tanzania
Get PDFElectricity has a significant impact on human productivity when using a variety of electrical appliances in households. Appliances hooked into the electric network are now causing an increase in electric energy usage in rental homes hence the increases in the user's electricity expenses. Some tenants consume high electrical energy compared to others due to the electrical meters cannot determine the amount of usage by each tenant in the house, all tenants contribute the same universal payment which is not realistic. To offset these costs, a monitoring system for electric energy consumption based on each appliance in a household is formulated, allowing customers to see how much money and energy they are wasting. Different studies have thus far proposed monitoring electric energy consumption in households. However, most of the solutions did not consider the electric energy consumption of individual appliances which is a main problem for the end-users. This paper presents an Internet of Things-based system to provide information to the users through an application on their daily consumption usage updates whether they are online with the presence of a Wi-Fi module. The system has a backup battery to allow giving information in case the power supply is off. Moreover, our system is designed to monitor the real-time energy consumption of individual appliances. Our results show that 90% of end-users that observed the implemented system are capable of monitoring daily electrical consumption hence tenants can put a good budget on their purchase of electrical units

Results of the study confirmed that students and teachers were experiencing high levels of school indiscipline with the most frequent being cheating, disrespecting teachers and principals, late coming, skipping classes, hyperactivity, and lack of concentration, deliberate defiance of school policies, and using mobile phones in classes. In addition, the degree of the effect that indiscipline in teaching-learning was extremely high in the study area. The study highlights the necessity for further assessment of the causes and management of indiscipline in Ethiopian secondary education classrooms
Simulation of a Single Phase Inverter with Unipolar Voltage Switching Using Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Technique
Get PDF The choice of the switching techniques used is key to good inverter performance, as it could offer reduced switching losses, generate less EMI, reduce filter size and offer better THD performance. To improve inverter performance these factors must be put into consideration. This Paper presents the Modelling, and Simulation of Single Phase Sinusoidal pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Inverter With Unipolar Voltage Switching using the SIMULINK toolbox of MATLAB software. In this switching scheme, the high-frequency triangular carrier wave is compared with two sinusoidal modulating signals having the same amplitude and a frequency of 50Hz. The two sinusoids are 180° out of phase. The output is used to switch the two legs of the H-bridge inverter in a complementary fashion. The results obtained from the simulation show an output with the fundamental voltage of 283.4 V at the frequency of 50Hz and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 64.42 % when the filter was not applied. However, with the incorporation of LC filter the THD was further reduced to 2.7% at the fundamental voltage of 236.6 V. However, Without output voltage feedback control, change in load resistance from 10 Ω to 50 Ω marginally increased the fundamental voltage and percentage THD up to 239.5 V and 4.22%. The experimental setup also presents similar waveforms
Development of Optical-based and Imaging Technology Detection, Diagnosis and Prevention of Aflatoxin Contamination on Maize Crop
Get PDFAflatoxins are mycotoxins produced naturally by some mold strains, such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Weather factors, notably moisture levels of more than 18 percent and temperatures of more than 32°C, influence the proliferation of aflatoxin-producing fungus. Aflatoxin pollution is a danger to human and animal healthiness. As a result, there is a pressing need to control aflatoxin, particularly in crops like maize, in countries where aflatoxin susceptibility is high, such as Tanzania. Several aflatoxin management solutions are being developed, however, for them to be effective, accurate identification of fungus or aflatoxins contamination on grain surfaces is required. While the majority of the known solutions include growing and identifying the fungus responsible or using Higher-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPCL), Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) to detect aflatoxin early, this review underlines the prospect of employing computer-based techniques to detect aflatoxin early. Because of these options, producers will be able to quickly detect aflatoxin contamination and, as a result, make informed decisions about how to prevent and/or reduce aflatoxin contamination, hence enhancing maize quality and storability
Experimental Investigation of Effects of Magnetic Water on Germination and Growth Rate of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) in ex-vitro Conditions
Get PDFA magnetic field can be macroscopic in nature (current in a wire) or microscopic (current due to electrons in atoms) and it affects all living organisms since it is naturally a component of our environment known as the geomagnetic field. Various researches have shown that a plant’s overall growth and development is affected either positively or negatively by a magnetic field. Research has also shown that magnetic fields can also influence plant’s growth by applying it directly or indirectly. A cost-effective method of applying an indirect magnetic field to a plant is by magnetic water treatment, which is done by exposing ordinary water to a magnetic field and then irrigating the plants. The objective of this research was to determine the effects of magnetic water on the germination and growth rate of coriander in ex vitro conditions. There were 11 different treatments in this experiment including the control, with five different magnetic field strengths and two different exposure times for each magnetic field strength. The germination rate was observed and recorded after two weeks, while growth rate measurements were made starting from the third week after planting. Results showed that magnetic water treatment did not influence germination, but had a positive effect on the growth rate of coriander
