Ensemble learning for energy performance prediction of residential buildings
(Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, 2021-07-08)In the past decades, the demand for energy in buildings has considerably amplified due to the increase in population and prompt urbanization. The high proportion of energy consumed by buildings engender major environmental ... -
Effects of plant age and inoculum concentration on light leaf spot disease phenotypes on oilseed rape
(2021-06-16)Light leaf spot is caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenopeziza brassicae and is the mosteconomically damaging disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the UK. Current controlrelies on repeated fungicide applications; ... -
Effects of Building Information Modeling on Construction Projects Delay: A Systematic Review
(2021-07-08)Time is a critical factor or primary success metric in measuring the progress of construction projects since they are normally time-bound. The construction industry, on the other hand, seldom completes projects on time due ... -
Current understanding of phoma stem canker and light leaf spot on oilseed rape in the UK
(University of Hertfordshire Press, 2021-06-16)Oilseed rape is the third most important arable crop in the UK. Phoma stem cankerand light leaf spot are two economically important diseases of this crop. These twodiseases cause annual yield losses of winter oilseed rape ... -
Barriers to Successful Adoption of Design for Manufacture and Assembly in Nigeria
(Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, 2021-07-08)Shelter, since time immemorial, has been and will continue to be a vital basic human need. Notably, the need for shelter will continue to increase following increase in world population. However, the current traditional ... -
Art, Aesthetics and Innovations in The Built Environment: Beyond Theory into Practice
(Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, 2021-07-08)The way and manner in which construction development occurs within an environmentcharacterize the overall look of the neighbourhood and consequently the locality, city orcountry. Therefore, Art, Town and City planning, ... -
Building energy consumption using deep learning
(Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, 2021-07-08)The consumption of energy in buildings has elicited the occurrence of many environmental problems such as air pollution. Building energy consumption prediction is fundamental for improved decision-making towards regulating ... -
Evaluation of the impact of reliance on the regulatory performance in the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority: implications for African regulatory authorities
(2023-10-23)Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates the use of reliance practices to enable national regulatory authorities (NRAs) to improve patients’ access to medicines. This study considered whether reliance ... -
An integrated approach to simulate gas turbine secondary air system
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021-01-11)One of the most critical parts of a modern gas turbine that its reliability and performance has a great influence on cycle efficiency is the secondary air system (SAS). Modern systems functions to supply not only cooling ... -
