Media Coverage on Child Sexual Abuse in Developing Countries[ ]


Print and Broadcast media are considered to be the most powerful social change agents and effective medium that can revolutionize the deter society into the civilized, responsible, composed society. Beside all major roles, the imperative role of media is to highlight the human rights’ violation issues in order to provide awareness and to prevent society from the social evils and injustice. So, by pointing out the odds, media can lessen the magnitude of happenings within the society. For centuries, the “Silent Crime” i.e. Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is gulping down the developing countries. This study will explore that how the appropriate Print and Broadcast media coverage can eliminate Child Sexual Abuse from the society.

AUTOPHAGY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH VITAMIN E SUCCINATE AND GASTRIC CANCER[ ]


We go through many situations that trigger the generation of wastes in and around our cells. When we starve , our cells starve but when our cells starve, we suffer more and until our cells are satisfied we can not be free from our suffering. Anything that puts our cells through a nutrient deprivation exposes our cells to danger. Few of such situations are starvation, infection, hypoxia, chemotherapy and exposure to radiation. For instance exposure to radiation could generate high number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which has a potentiality of damaging proteins and organelles. Once this unwanted circumstance sets in, a process is induced to remove the damaged structures.

Improved Performance Of 132kv Transmission Line Of Afam Power Station To Elelenwo Substation, Port Harcourt[ ]


This research work considered the analysis of load-flow, voltage-drop, voltage rise, mismatches and active and reactive power flow from Afam generating station to Elelenwo substation (132/33KV). The increasing demand of power at the receiving-end does not match the available generated capacity, making the substation to constantly experienced overload beyond the declared statutory limit. Evidently, the investigation shows that some of the feeders, transformers are overloaded, low voltage profile, poor power factor and the cross sectional area of the conductors are undersized in order to withstand the load currents. However, the existing data collected from Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) were used for the study case, in order to investigate the level of voltage drop via electrical transient analyzer tool (ETap-version 12.6), so as to know which of the feeders/buses that is critical or fairly loaded in order to compensate the affected feeder for the purpose of improving network stability performance and operation. The simulation of the existing network of 132/33KV (from Afam to Elelenwo) shows that one of the transformers indicated overloaded. Therefore, this research work evaluates the capacity of capacitor-bank needed to compensate the network on the view to improve the voltage profile and stability. The capacity size of 7MVAR capacitor were determined and installed in order to improve the voltage stability problems in the network. This means that to solve these problems, the application of capacitor bank, additional transformer(s) to the existing network will seriously enhance effective performance. The simulation of the existing case and the compensated network shows that the improved voltage profile, active and reactive power injected and demand are within the declared statutory limit of ±5% or 0.95pu – 1.05pu of the declared voltage as recommended by IEE regulation.

Decentralized traffic management system via reinforcement learning[ ]


As traffic increases throughout the globe, it becomes more and more apparent that the most appropriate response to its stochastic nature is real-time dynamic traffic control. While actuated systems to a large extent adjust well to traffic conditions, they cannot adjust fully to the hectic nature of traffic in real-time as while they are responsive to the presence of vehicles, they are not sensitive to the traffic demand (the number of vehicles), therefore performing poorly in saturated or nearly-saturated environments, introducing the need for a newer approach to control the problem. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a heuristic method to control the traffic problem and to prove how the Q-learning fits for purpose of handling the traffic light optimization problem. Validating the value of the proposed algorithm via set of metrics and KPIs like average delay per vehicle, and average number of stops per vehicle within a specified network to show the added value against other well know benchmarks.

Methodology for Estimation and Calculation of the CO2 Emissions in Container Terminals[ ]


Combined transport consists of the rail and road part of the shipping journey. In general, a combined emission footprint has a more favorable outcome for the environment than road transport alone. However, combined transport includes not only rail transport and road haulage but also transshipment in container terminals. These are the nodes where the mode of transport changes during the shipping journey. In addition to handling, many other processes take place within the container terminal. These facilities are energy consumers and, as such, must be included in the calculation of the emission footprint for the entire transport chain. Every segment of the journey must be scrutinized. Calculation methods for transportation are prescribed in the Standard EN 16258. Calculation methods for handling and other terminal processes are not currently included.
