This paper presents a new approach to differential protection for power transformer by using ANFIS approach. The proposed method was trained and tested with data obtained from PSCAD simulation of a power system under different operating conditions. The simulation results show that this algorithm is very good to recognize the various fault types in power transformers. Using the ANFIS approach, the accuracy and speed of operation of flux-current differential relaying scheme is significantly improved while compared with conventional current differential relaying scheme. The proposed method has an outstanding advantage that it can eliminate the load tap changer error meanwhile in operation and there by sensitivity of the relay is improved.

Pseudomonas aeruoginosa, a bioreporter strain was used as an indicator to monitor quorum-sensing inhibition. Quorum sensing (QS) is a system of stimulus and response correlated to bacterial population density. The increasing incidence of multi-drug resistant pathogens has stimulated the search for novel anti-virulence compounds. Although many phytochemicals show promising anti microbial activity, their power lies in their anti-virulence properties. It is hypothesized that many naturally occurring terrestrial plants, algae and fungi traditionally used as medicines may also produce anti-QS compounds. To test this hypothesis, Pleurotus florida, the oyster mushroom was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively for its anti-QS activity using Pseudomonas aeuroginosa. A special swarm media that allow swarming motility growth of Pseudomonas aeuroginosa was used to conduct inhibition of swarm motility assay using mushroom extract. The methanol and chloroform extracts of the mushroom was tested for their inhibition of AHL (Acyl-Homoserine Lactone) production and biofilm formation. Inhibition of AHL for methanol extract ranged from 37.89-58.94% and for chloroform extract ranged from 50.05-70.05% at a concentration of 100-500µg/ml. Inhibition of biofilm formation for methanol extract ranged from 33.9-83.9% and for chloroform extract ranged from 60.07-82.1% at a concentration of 100-500µg/ml. The results of this study provided evidence that organic solvent extracts of the mushroom Pleurotus florida exhibited appreciable antiquorum sensing property and it justifies their use in the traditional medicine for the treatment of different multi-drug resistant microbes.

Indoor cellular network signal outages and poor reception occur in some indoor locations, as a result of building penetration loss; which accounts for increased attenuation of received signal strength of a cellular network signal when a mobile is moved from outdoor to indoor. Penetration loss is influenced by the type of building materials used in building construction and the building structure/orientation. In this study, the effect of building materials and structures on cellular network signal strength was investigated. A Sony Ericson mobile unit with TEMS software installed in it was used to collect data from two major cellular network service providers in Nigeria. The measurements were carried out outside and inside of four different of buildings types, namely; tiled building with concrete tiled roof, concrete building with corrugated galvanized roof, mud building with rusted corrugated roof and wooden building with rusted corrugated roof in order to ascertain the penetration loss in the selected buildings in Otuoke community of Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The results reviewed that the average penetration loss for the tilled, concrete, mud and the wooden buildings are 13.0 dBm, 10.8 dBm, 9.57 dBm and 8.72 dBm respectively. It was observed that the tiled building with concrete tiled roof has the highest penetration loss in all the months considered, followed by the concrete wall building with corrugated galvanized iron roof, while the wooden wall building with rusted corrugated roof was having the lowest penetration loss. Information from this research will assist cellular network service providers in planning and management of their cellular networks signals in suburban environments having similar building types and pattern. This study will also be helpful to researchers and builders in their selection of building materials especially if good cellular network signal reception is significant.

Direct gamma spectrometry study was carried out within the Adenta municipality in the greater Accra Region of Ghana to ascertain a baseline radioactivity levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials in borehole water at the Adenta Municipality. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in twenty boreholes were measured. The activity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the samples ranged from0.27 ±0.05Bq/L to 1.83 ±0.55Bq/L, 0.11±0.06Bq/L to 4.29±0.27Bq/L and 1.24 ±0.16Bq/L to 28.75 ±4.82Bq/L respectively. The average activity concentration values were 0.77±0.42, 0.93±0.62 and 9.77±4.55 Bq/L respectively. The total committed annual effective doses due to intake of natural radionuclides in the borehole water was estimated to be 40.29±48.82µSv/yr, which is far below the World Health Organization recommendation limit of 100µSv/yr. However, four of the boreholes exceeded the WHO recommended limit for total committed annual effective dose. The results obtained in this study shows that some of the inhabitants in Adenta municipality were expose to a significant radiological health hazards due to drinking water from the boreholes in the municipality. The results from this study will serve as a baseline data for future research in the study area.

The paper evaluates the effectiveness of recent initiatives introduced by the Royal Thai Government proliferate Broadband services in Thailand. With globalization, the society is constantly changing resulting by information technology and Internet access to play an important role in communication, social, political, economic or even environmental. Because of the rapid-technological advancement, it causes that many countries moving up their focus on developing infrastructure to enhance the information technology and innovation.

Different physicochemical parameters were characterized- the iodine value, free fatty acid (FFA) value, pH value and viscosity of the non-irradiated oil was obtained as 2.38, 1.83, 5.73 and 4.80 × 10-5m2/s respectively. The effect of X-irradiation on the oil showed a modification of the iodine value, Free Fatty Acid (FFA) value, pH value and viscosity to be 2.28, 2.86, 5.25 and 4.52 × 10-5m2/s when irradiated once. Also, 2.23, 3.25, 5.14 and 4.52 × 10-5m2/s when irradiated twice and 2.17, 3.70, 5.06 and 4.20 × 10-5m2/s when irradiated the third time. From the results of the investigated parameters, it was concluded that the oxidative deterioration level of the Grand oil can be used as a lubricant if the higher viscosity can be lowered and its oxidation stabilized appreciably.

Autoimmune pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis. There are two diffuse and focal forms that mimic the appearance of a pseudo-mass or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which the differential diagnosis may be difficult, The classic CT scan appearance of AIP is that of diffuse hypertrophy of the sausage shaped pancreas and a pathognomonic hypodense peripheral ring with a delayed contrast enhancement, Focal pancreatic involvement is often seen in the head of the pancreas and appears in the form of a mass mimicking pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
