  Abstract
  This study illuminates the intersection of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and data analytics in managing salmonellosis outbreaks within smart cities. EHRs have evolved from basic information repositories to dynamic platforms integral for efficient healthcare administration. With a focus on data from the CDC, machine learning models, especially Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, were employed, achieving up to 100% predictive accuracy. However, this perfection in model performance necessitates caution and further validation to mitigate overfitting. Correlations emerged, such as the link between raw egg consumption and increased salmonellosis risk, highlighting the models` potential in real-world applications. Despite the evident strides in technology and data utilization, challenges in data security and privacy are still prominent. The insights derived are expected to bolster public health strategies and the integration of real-time data analytics in smart city health infrastructure, balancing technological innovation with ethical compliance.

  Abstract
  Noise pollution poses serious threat to the quality of life in cities. Exposure to high level of noise can have serious and damaging impact on people and communities. This study was conducted to assess noise pollution in the motor parks at Izuchukwu Junction Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria. Six motor parks were assessed and they include; Eastern Mass Park, Romchi Park, Izuchukwu Park, Ihiala mass transit park, Globis Park and Onitsha South park. A descriptive cross sectional study was used and noise level was determined with the use of calibrated sound level meter at time intervals. Measurements were taken in the morning between the hours of 6.00am-9:00am, afternoon (12-2:00pm) and evening (4:00-6:00pm) for one week. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. From the results, Eastern mass motor park had 81.62dB (A) which exceeded the permissible noise levels by WHO and NESREA with a range of 60dB. Romchi Motor Park recorded 81.2dB while the least was on Izuchukwu motor park had 72.8dB. The total average of the studied motor parks was 77.7dB and it was beyond the WHO and NESREA recommended permissible limit of 70dB and 60dB respectively in all the motor parks. The lead source of noise was vehicle engine and horn honking. In conclusion, the highest sources of noise was found in Eastern Mass motor park, followed by Globis and Romchi motor park, while the Izuchukwu park and Onitsha South parks had the lowest sources of noise pollution. The overall findings of the study provides insights on the noise levels and noise pollution in the motor parks at Izuchukwu junction, Nnewi. Therefore, there is need for public health education on noise pollution in the motor parks in order to sensitize the public about the health effects of noise pollution and how to prevent it.

  Abstract
  This paper consists of three types of estimation of parameter methods which are namely Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), L-Moments, TL-Moments for estimating parameters of four types of probability distribution including Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), Generalized Pareto (GPA), Generalized Logistic (GLO) & Pearson Type III (PEIII) distribution. Furthermore, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values have been calculated to assess the performance of the mentioned distributions for the respective seasons. Finally, 37 years of rainfall data for each month has been analysed, where for winter & Pre-Monsoon season the Pearson Type III distribution is computed as the best fitted probability distribution, for Monsoon and Post-Monsoon season GEV and GPA are found to be the best fitted probability distributions respectively. Interpreting the RMSE values, out of the three kinds of parameter estimation method, L-Moments turns out to be the most efficient method.

  Abstract
  Isobutane is a very interesting hydrocarbon for implementation as a working fluid besides fuel. Thermodynamic properties of isobutane (R-600a) play an important role in analysis and design. Accuracy and reliability of these properties play an important role in the quality of analysis and design results. Helmholtz equation of state for R-600a was developed using a genetic algorithm combined with weighted least square regression. The assessments cover intermolecular potential behavior, extrapolation behavior, and ideal curve characteristics besides deviations concerning experimental data. Deviation distribution was assessed using visualization, as well as statistical interpretation. The average absolute deviation over different data sources is estimated at 0.18% for liquid density, 0.81% for gas density, 0.16% for saturated-liquid density, 0.59% for saturated-vapor except at temperatures near the critical point, and 0.46% at vapor pressure. Meanwhile, the caloric properties have also been evaluated for the average absolute deviation, namely 0.06% for the ideal gas isobaric specific heat, 1.82% for isobaric and isochoric specific heats, 0.018% for the gas phase sound speed, 1.25% for the liquid phase sound speed. This equation has validity from the triple point of 113.73 K up to 700 K with pressure up to 300 MPa.

  Abstract
  An important part of computational science and engineering is finding the nth roots of positive real numbers. Calculators and computer programs that operate as calculators employ the nth root function often. However, one of the most intriguing areas of numerical computing is the search for the real roots of transcendental and algebraic equations. There are various ways to do this, including the Bisection, Newton-Raphson, Iteration, and Secant methods. The Bisection method is notable for its robustness and does not need a stability condition. Although its convergence occurs gradually, convergence always occurs. In this study, we used this method to find the nth roots of some positive real numbers to calculate the root mean square error (RMSE) value through which the numerical accuracy of the method can be reckoned. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the method, we also computed the computing time and the number of iterations required to converge to an exact root with an error tolerance of 0.000001. The RMSE value found in our investigation is of the order of 10-7, demonstrating an adequate level of accuracy of the method. This precision was achieved in each instance within 23 repetitions, and the time required is a minuscule fraction of a millisecond; these demonstrate the method’s high level of efficiency. Our investigation revealed the method’s reasonable acceptance, efficiency, and robustness.

  Abstract
  The study examined the effect of Hauenstein practical skill acquisition model on student’s performance in Domestic Installation at technical colleges in Bauchi state, Nigeria. To achieve this, four specific objectives, four research questions and four null hypotheses were tested to guide the study. Quasi-experimental design was employed as the design of the study; specifically pre-test post-test non equivalent treatment group design was used. The population of the study comprised 318 NTC II technical colleges’ students offering Domestic Installation in the state. A multi stage cluster sampling technique was used in selecting two technical colleges out of the eight technical colleges offering Domestic Installation to come up with a sampling frame of 79 students from the two technical colleges selected as intact classes for experimental and control groups. The research instrument captioned Domestic Installation Performance Test (DIPT) adopted from National Business and Technical Examination Board past questions related to the three topics taught in the study was validated by three experts. The experimental group was drilled using Hauenstein practical skill acquisition model while, the control group was taught using conventional (discussion-demonstration) approach for a period of three weeks concurrently. The data collected for the study were analyzed using mean and standard deviation present in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software while, the null hypotheses were tested using independent and paired samples t-test. The pre-test mean performance scores of both experimental and control groups showed that both groups have almost equal performance. The post-test mean performance score of experimental group stood at (117.29) which was significantly higher than the post-test mean performance score of control group (105.54) with mean difference of (11.75), this revealed that, the students taught using Hauenstein practical skill acquisition model performed better than the students taught using conventional (discussion-demonstration) approach. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that Hauenstein practical teaching model is an effective method of teaching Domestic Installation. The study recommended among others that; Domestic Installation teachers in Technical Colleges should use Hauenstein practical skill acquisition model in teaching Domestic Installation to enhance student’s mastery in practical skills acquisition and academic performance.

  Abstract
  The concept of breaking the glass ceiling symbolizes the efforts to overcome unseen barriers preventing women from advancing to higher positions in various industries, including housekeeping. Women in the housekeeping sector often encounter significant challenges, with many relegated to low-skilled positions such as room attendants, cleaners, and kitchen assistants. This research aims to explore the specific hurdles that hinder women`s career progression in housekeeping and to identify factors influencing their advancement. By examining these challenges and factors, this study seeks to contribute to the development of strategies that promote gender equality and empower women to ascend to leadership roles within the housekeeping industry.

  Abstract
  The Soviet Union launches Sputnik on the 4th of October, 1957 as the first artificial satellite to orbit around the Earth. Since then, there have been a significant progress in artificial satellite technology. This is owing to the fact that artificial satellite systems are essential for many man’s activities including communication, earth observation, navigation, and positioning, etc. Satellite-based Navigation System such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) encompass equipment placed in the space orbit, and on the ground for determination of the coordinates and trajectory parameters of an object. The GPS, which was developed, established and managed by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) does not require the user to transmit any data. It operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception even though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of its positioning information. There have been a substantial progress in the performance of the GPS for diverse applications with different level of accuracy in recent time. Thus, this paper focuses on the GPS technology with specific interest in the principle upon which it is based and the techniques for its application. Basically, there are two GPS measurements for positioning including pseudorange and carrier phase observations. Also, there are two major methods for GPS-based observation including relative positioning, and absolute positioning. However, other methods have emerged from the variations and modifications of these primary techniques.

  Abstract
  Nephrotoxicity: Nephrotoxicity refers to the toxic effect that certain substances can have on the kidneys. These substances can include medications, chemicals, or environmental toxins. Nephrotoxicity can lead to acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease if the exposure is prolonged or severe.There are number of herbs used in the Nephrotoxicity activity i.e. herbs like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), and Varuna (Crataeva nurvala). Compared to pharmaceutical drugs, herbs are safer and more digestible, effective and economical. As an effective treatment for various health conditions, herbs are great alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbs promote an improvement in overall health when combined with a raw-vegan diet and regular exercise. The leaves, roots, stems of different plants are sources of vitamin D , Calcium, phosphorous that can be helpful in case of kidney disorders. In review of study ,we studied that medicinal plants of different extracts ( hydroalcoholic, methanolic and aqueous extracts) in animals, at the different doses ( 100-500MG/KG)have shown significant results in treatment of Nephrotoxicity.
