A questionnaire was administered through the convenience sampling technique to 150 child waste pickers. Findings showed that recovering materials from the dumpsite involved physical energy and manually-operated rudimentary tools. A majority (62.0%) of the child waste pickers were males … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 2 Jul 2022 · 7,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAutomatic Re-Formulation of user’s Irrational Behavior in Speech Recognition using Acoustic Nudging ModelLydia Kehinde Ajayi, Ambrose Azeta, Isaac Odun-Ayo et al.In automatic speech recognition for development of automatic speech recognition applications, there has been numerous claims on the presence of speech recognition errors known as classified into lexical and acoustic errors. These errors distort speech signals thereby depreciating the accuracy and performance rate of speech recognition applications. Even though lexical speech recognition error problem has been partially combated, acoustic speech … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 12 · 22 Dec 2020 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite

Idowu et al.Problem statement: Pollution of well water, either from point or non-point sources, has become a thing of health concern both in urban and rural areas. Approach: This study aim at assessing the pollution hazards of groundwater resource by sampling some shallow wells from urban and peri-urban area of Abeokuta. Collected samples were analyzed for water quality parameters using standard procedures. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesWaste Disposal and Pollution Management in Urban Areas: A Workable Remedy for the Environment in Developing CountriesJ. A. Awomeso, A. M. Taiwo, A. M. Gbadebo, A. O. ArimoroProblem statement: Both wastes and the crude disposal techniques have created subtle and yet serious environmental pollution havoc in many developing countries. This has lead to the degradation of abiotic and biotic components of these nations’ ecological systems. Poor industrial waste disposal systems as well as the indiscriminate and inappropriate domestic litter disposal habit have been identified and proved to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,115 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNumerical Solution of Fourth Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equations by Cubic Spline Collocation Tau MethodO.A. Taiwo, O.M. OgunlaranProblem Statement: Many boundary value problems that arise in real life situations defy analytical solution; hence numerical techniques are desirable to find the solution of such equations. New numerical methods which are comparatively better than the existing ones in terms of efficiency, accuracy, stability, convergence and computational cost are always needed. Approach: In this study, we developed and applied three … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
