Abstract

Time series forecasting is an active research area that has drawn considerable attention for applications in a variety of areas. Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models are one of the most important time series models used in financial market forecasting over the past three decades but not very often used to forecast gold prices.  This paper attempts to address the forecasting of gold bullion coin selling prices. The forecasting models ARIMAs are applied to forecast the gold bullion coin prices. The result suggests that ARIMA (2, 1, 2) is the most suitable model to be used for forecasting gold bullion coin prices. Closer examination suggests that the gold bullion coin selling prices are in upward trends and could be considered as a worthy investment.

Abstract

The study was carried out in Avu Junction in Owerri West L.G.A. at graded distant from the tarred road with an average vehicular flow between 10,000 to 12,000 per day. Soil samples were taken at the distant of 50m, 100m, 150m  and 200m respectively. And auger soil samples were  taken at the depths of  0-30 cm and  30-45 cm accordingly. Soil factor, heavy metals and microbial populations were investigated at graded distances. From the result of soil factors,  pH values indicated acidity  with decreased distant from the tarred road ranging between  4.52 – 6.32,  soil temperature on the topsoil was higher than subsoil ranging between  19- 25 0C and 18 – 22 0C and soil moisture increases with increased distant from the tarred road ranging  between 10.00 – 13.3. Heavy metal concentrations in the soil increased with decreased distant in the order of Pb < Zn < Ni < Cu < Cd. Overall results revealed  that  Cd  in the soil constitutes the highest percentage of 91.7%,  Ni  90.9%, Cu 90.1%, Pb. 84.7% and  Zn. 81.7%. Significantly, higher fungi and bacterial populations were recorded at increased distant from the tarred road. This then called for proactive measures to  checkmate soil contamination due to pollutants from vehicular flows.

Abstract

The present study aimed at determining the concentrations of Cd, Pb and Zn in fecal materials, byssus and different soft tissues of Perna viridis under controlled laboratory conditions during accumulation and depuration tests and to discuss the roles played by byssus and fecal materials in the coastal waters. The present findings indicated that the byssus of P. viridis acted as an excretion routes for Cd, Pb and Zn while mussels have a retention mechanism of metals as evidenced in the high metal levels found in the fecal materials during the experimental study. This implied that mussel population played an important role in expediting the metal cycling as well as supposedly nutrient cycling in the coastal ecosystem by rapidly recycling back to the coastal environment in the underlying sediments.

Abstract

Development of very high speed integrated circuits is currently of great interests for today technologies. This paper presents the quasi-TEM approach for the accurate parameters extraction of multiconductor transmission lines interconnect in single, two, and three-layered dielectric region using the finite element method (FEM).  We illustrate that FEM is as accurate and effective for modeling multilayered multiconductor transmission lines in strongly inhomogeneous media. We mainly focus on designing of five-conductor transmission lines embedded in single-, two-, three-, and four-layered dielectric media. We compute the capacitance matrices for these configurations. Also, we determine the quasi-TEM spectral for the potential distribution of the multiconductor transmission lines in multilayer dielectric media.

Abstract

Traditional finite element method is a well-established method to solve various problems of science and engineering. Different authors have used various methods to solve governing differential equation of heat conduction problem.  In this study, heat conduction in a circular rod has been considered which is made up of two different materials viz. aluminum and copper. In earlier studies parameters in the differential equation have been taken as fixed (crisp) numbers which actually may not. Those parameters are found in general by some measurements or experiments. So the material properties are actually uncertain and may be considered to vary in an interval or as fuzzy and in that case complex interval arithmetic or fuzzy arithmetic has to be considered in the analysis. As such the problem is discretized into finite number of elements which depend on interval/fuzzy parameters. Representation of interval/fuzzy numbers may give the clear picture of uncertainty. Hence interval/fuzzy arithmetic is applied in the finite element method to solve a steady state heat conduction problem. Application of fuzzy finite element method in the said problem gives fuzzy system of linear equations in general. Here new methods have also been proposed to handle such type of fuzzy system of linear equations. Corresponding results are computed and has been reported here.

Abstract

In this work, the solutions of the fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olver (FSTO) and Fisher differential equations were investigated. The present study proposed a new novel and simple analytical method to obtain the solutions of FSTO and Fisher differential equations. Whereas, for nonlinear equations in general, no method is exists which yields to exact solution and therefore only approximate analytical solutions can be derived by using procedures such as linearization or perturbation. This method is combined form of the Laplace transformation and the Homotopy perturbation method. Advantage of the Laplace Homotopy Method (LHM), are simplicity of the computations, and non-requirement of linearization or smallness assumptions. For more illustration of the efficiency and reliability of LHM, some numerical results are depicted in different schemes and tables. Numerical results showed that the LHM was partly economical, efficient and precise to obtain the solution of nonlinear fractional differential equations.
