TL;DR: This work does sentiment analysis on text reviews by using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and recently, thanks to their ability to handle large amounts of knowledge, neural networks have achieved a good success on sentiment classification.
Abstract: Analyzing the big textual information manually is tougher and time-consuming. Sentiment analysis is a automated process that uses computing (AI) to spot positive and negative opinions from the text. Sentiment analysis is widely used for getting insights from social media comments, survey responses, and merchandise reviews to create data-driven decisions. Sentiment analysis systems are accustomed to add up to the unstructured text by automating business processes and saving hours of manual processing. In recent years, Deep Learning (DL) has garnered increasing attention within the industry and academic world for its high performance in various domains. Today, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are the foremost popular types of DL architectures used. We do sentiment analysis on text reviews by using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Recently, thanks to their ability to handle large amounts of knowledge, neural networks have achieved a good success on sentiment classification. Especially long STM networks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a simulation methodology for the spectrum sensing technique to meet the requirements of the IEEE 802.22 standard, which is described through extensive simulation using MATLAB simulation tool.
Abstract: Cognitive Radio directs at amplifying the use of the limited radio bandwidth while accommodating the increasing number of services and applications in wireless networks. For cognitive radio networks to operate efficiently. Secondary users (SU) should be able to exploit the radio spectrum that is unused by the primary network. A censorious component of cognitive radio is thus spectrum sensing. In this report, we propose a simulation methodology for the spectrum sensing technique to meet the requirements of the IEEE 802.22 standard. The sensing performance is described through extensive simulation using MATLAB simulation tool. In most of the existing work. The simulation scenario of the CSS algorithm has been based on common theoretical assumptions rather than to meet the operational requirements of the WRAN standards. Further, it can be found that spectrum sensing and sharing have been designed separately. This research paper discusses the algorithm framework of local sensing using energy detection and cooperative sensing based on machine learning to meet the functional requirement of the IEEE 802.22 WRAN standard. The simulation results of the proposed spectrum sensing algorithm lead to formulating effective coalition formation games in order to make effective strategic interaction among secondary users.

TL;DR: This pesticide spraying drone reduces the time, number of labor and cost of pesticide application, and can be used to spray disinfectant liquids over buildings, water bodies and in highly populated areas by changing the flow discharge of the pump.
Abstract: There are too many technologies involved in today’s Agriculture, out of which spraying pesticides using drones is one of the emerging technologies. Manual pesticide spraying causes many harmful side effects to the personnel involved in the spraying process. The Exposure effects can range from mild skin irritation to birth defects, tumors, genetic changes, blood and nerve disorders, endocrine disruption, coma or death. The WHO (World Health Organization) estimated as one million cases of ill affected, when spraying the pesticides in the crop field manually. This paved the way to design a drone mounted with spraying mechanism having 12 V pump, 6 Litre storage capacity tank,4 nozzles to atomize in fine spray , an octocopter configuration frame ,suitable landing frame, 8 Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors with suitable propellers to produce required thrust about 38.2 KG(at 100% RPM) and suitable LithiumPolymer (LI-PO) battery of current capacity 22000 mAh and 22.2 V to meet necessary current and voltage requirements. A First-Person View (FPV) camera and transmitter can also be fixed in the drone for monitoring the spraying process and also for checking pest attacks on plants. This pesticide spraying drone reduces the time, number of labor and cost of pesticide application. This type of drone can also be used to spray disinfectant liquids over buildings, water bodies and in highly populated areas by changing the flow discharge of the pump.

TL;DR: A review of the benefits and recommendations to foster the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel for automobiles in Nigeria is presented in this paper, which has benefits ranging from reduction in pollution to an increase in productivity, efficiency, safety, and energy security.
Abstract: In an attempt to address major causes of pollution from gas flaring and transportation, the Nigerian government introduced the use of CNG (compressed natural gas) as an alternative fuel for automobiles in 1997. However, progress has been very slow as the government has concentrated more on LNG (liquefied natural gas) exportation, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), and gas to power projects. These projects have aided in reducing gas flaring, but pollution from transportation is still increasing. This article provides an extensive review of the benefits and recommendations to foster the use of CNG as an alternative fuel for automobiles in Nigeria. The use of CNG as an alternative fuel for automobiles in Nigeria has benefits ranging from reduction in pollution to an increase in productivity, efficiency, safety, and energy security. Thus, to encourage the use of CNG as automobile fuel in Nigeria, the government needs to develop a targeted carbon tax system, favourable market-based policies and natural gas transmission and distribution network; increase availability and access to CNG refuelling stations and public awareness; subsidise vehicle conversion expenses; begin with bi-fuel/dual-fuel automobiles; assign responsibilities; reform gas pricing; partner with automobile producers in Nigeria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have reviewed the challenges of irrigation development in Ethiopia based on use and development of irrigation water and its contributions to the national economy, opportunities, and future development perspectives.
Abstract: This study reviewed to assess the challenges of irrigation development in Ethiopia based on use and development of irrigation water and its contributions to the national economy, opportunities, and future development perspectives. Although, Ethiopia is considered as a water tower of Africa, only 5% irrigation potential is developed yet. It is believed that irrigation can increase security of crop production and income earning. Concurrently, in many parts of the country; it uplifted the food security of many smallholder farmers. However, evidence has shown that there are several challenges on the performance of irrigation schemes and most are not performing at the best of their capacity. The key challenges impeding the success of irrigation development are; poor scheme management, imperfect market, financial shortage, insufficient technical skill, lack of awareness about the use of irrigation, environmental and, social impact and institutional challenges. Local resources and adequate catchment management; soil and water conservation using physical and biological measures is essential. Poor irrigation management is highly related to lack of sufficient skills. Thus, expansion of training for farmers and water user associations by governmental and nongovernmental organizations will have a significant impact on irrigation development. There is a strong need to improve access to market information to irrigators in other to improve the system in general and an effective extension system should be in place to guide farmers to manage traditional irrigation efficiently This paper argues that there is a need of attention by irrigation administrators, policy makers and development practitioners to tackle these challenges in order to develop irrigation potential and to solve food insecurity in Ethiopia.

Abstract: Information about effects of different land use types on soil physical and chemical properties is crucial for best land management practices. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of land use type on selected soil physical and chemical properties at sire morose sub watershed Hidbu abote district Ethiopia. Three land use types were selected from the sub watershed (Forest, grazing and cultivated land). Undisturbed core and disturbed composite soil samples were collected randomly from three sites with three replications from each land use type at two varying depths (0-20 cm and 20-40 cm) and subjected to laboratory soil analysis. Accordingly, the highest mean value sand and clay were recorded in the surface soil of grazing and cultivated land respectively. The mean bulk density of the soils ranged from 0.94 to1.4g cm and the mean total porosity ranged from 52.95 to 64.53%, which indicate good soil structure. The pH ranged from 5.9 to 6.19 while the mean value of OM range from 1.03 to 5.2%. However, the mean value of total N range from 0.09 to 0.25%. The mean value of available P ranged from 17.67 to 24.8 mg/kg, which implies high available P in the study area. The exchangeable basic cations and CEC values were within medium to high ranges in all land use types. Most of the physical and chemical properties of the soils of the study area were distinctly influenced by the different land use types.

The sensor node which has least distance from the base station and has maximum energy is selected as cluster head. The cluster heads can communicate with each other and data will be transmitted to base station. In this research work, WEMER protocol is implemented and improved to increase lifetime of wireless sensor networks. In the WEMER protocol, whole network is divided into clusters and cluster heads are selected in each cluster. The leader nodes are also selected in the network which take data from the cluster heads and pass it to base station. In the improvement of WEMER protocol. Gateway nodes are deployed in network to increase lifetime of WSN. In the proposed improvement gateway nodes are deployed near to base station which takes data from the leader nodes. The leader nodes take data from the cluster head. The proposed WEMER protocol and WEMER protocol are implemented in MATLAB. The simulation results shows that proposed WEMER protocol has less number of dead nodes, high number of alive nodes, send more number of packets and more remaining energy consumption. CHAPTER
