Published: July 2021

Machine learning has been an effective tool to connect networks of enormous information for predicting personality. Identification of personality-related indicators encrypted in Facebook profiles and activities are of special concern in most research efforts. This research modeled user personality based on set of features extracted from the Facebook data using Map-Reduce Back Propagation Neural Network (MRBPNN). The performance of the MRBPNN classification model was evaluated in terms of five basic personality dimensions: Extraversion (EXT), Agreeableness (AGR), Conscientiousness (CON), Neuroticism (NEU), and Openness to Experience (OPN) using True positive, False Positive, accuracy, precision and F-measure as metrics at the threshold value of 0.32. The experimental results reveal that MRBPNN model has accuracy of 91.40%, 93.89%, 91.33%, 90.43% and 89.13% CON, OPN, EXT, NEU and AGR respectively for personality recognition which is more computationally efficient than Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Therefore, personality recognition based on MRBPNN would produce a reliable prediction system for various personality traits with data having a very large instance. Keywords— Machine learning, Facebook, MRBPNN, Personality Recognition, Neuroticism, Agreeableness.

Published: July 2021

The influence of varied weight percent of inoculant (ferrosilicon) on the microstructure and hardness property of hypo- eutectic grey cast iron was investigated. Four sets of chill wedge samples were produced using two chill wedge wooden patterns (W3 1/2 and W4). The first set, the control samples W3 1/2 and W4 were uninoculated. The second, third and fourth sets were inoculated with 1.0wt.%, 1.5wt.% and 2wt.% ferrosilicon respectively to give inoculated samples W3 1/2 and W4. Wedge test was conducted on the samples at the four different points (1, 2, 3 and 4) in accordance with ASTM A367. From the results, microstructures of the control and the inoculated samples were differently influenced by the varied percentage of the inoculant at the four designated points 1, 2, 3 and 4. The average hardness property of the inoculated samples decreases with increasing ferrosilicon addition. Samples W3 1/2 and W4 with 1.0wt.% ferrosilicon revealed high hardness property at chill zone, and hardness property of W3 1/2 was high relative to sample W4 with the values of 34.9 HRA and 30.6 HRA respectively. Similarly, the control samples showed the highest hardness property at the chill zone. Sample W3 1/2 revealed high hardness value of 33.0 HRA relative to sample W4 of 26.8 HRA at the chill zone.

Published: July 2021

Globally, Wyoming bentonite has been observed as the only accepted drilling fluid. Hence, the importance of investigating the mode by which Cissus populnea affects the rheological properties of local clay and as possible substitute for the international standard clay as drilling fluid. Ten samples of the local mud were taken at different locations of Afuze deposit, the stem bark of Cissus populnea was purchased in Ekiti State and authenticated at the herbarium, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Its extraction was effected using the soxhlet extractor apparatus. Samples A and C, were respectively the mud of the local clay and a mixture of the Cissus populnea extract and the local clay. A control sample, B was formed from a mixture of water and the International Standard Wyoming bentonite which was obtained from the Petroleum Engineering Department of the University of Ibadan. Rheological properties of each of the samples were determined. The results of sample C (density (9.85 lb/gal), pH (9.9–11.3); funnel viscosity (50–62 seconds); hydroxylethyl cellulose at 600 rpm (22-38 cp); filtrate value (13.0–15.8 ml); sand content (0.50–0.81ppg); gel strength (15-21 lb/100ft2) and yield stress (7-13 lb/100ft2)) fell within the API RP–13B standard for drilling fluid. The analysis showed that the differences between samples A, B and C were negligible and that the local clay treated with Cissus populnea can serve as a substitute for foreign clay.

Textile industries wastewater contains pollutants which vary greatly and depend on the chemicals and treatment processes used. Toxic heavy metals in wastewater are discharged into the environment, which adversely affect human, aquatic life, and natural water bodies. This study was therefore designed to investigate adsorption of heavy metal ions (Cadmium, Zinc, Manganese, Chromium and iron) in raw textile wastewater using activated carbon from Cordia millenii and Gmelina arborea wood species. Carbon structural pattern was examined using SEM equipment. Batch sorption tests were conducted in wastewater treatment by varying absorbent contact time with the sorbate from 30 to 120minutes (at 30minutes intervals) to facilitate attainment of equilibrium condition. The pore space diameter mean values were 9.28±1.22 and 4.45±1.57µm for Cordia millenii Carbon (CMC) and Gmelina arborea Carbon (GAC) respectively. It was observed that over 80% Manganese removal was achieved at 120minutes contact time for both carbon studied. Highest removal efficiencies was observed at all contact times in GAC for iron while in CMC for Chromium, Cadmium, Zinc and Manganese between 30-90minutes contact time. After 120 minutes contact time, there was insignificant difference in removal efficiency for Chromium and Manganese. However, at 30minutes contact time, percentage removal of over 60% was obtained for Manganese, implying that Manganese has high mobility towards the adsorbents surface. The activated carbons obtained from these two wood species are therefore viable options for heavy metal removal from textile effluents. Keywords— Adsorption, activated carbon, Cordia millenii carbon, Gmelina arborea carbon, heavy metals.
