Trajectory Optimization of Quadrotor-UAV Drone Using Genetic Algorithm

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Technology recently attracts attention of many researchers; this is due toits numerous potentialities in civil application. One of the key areas of interest by researches is how to achievea total talent of “Sense and Avoid” in the UAV which will enhance safe and efficient trajectory of the vehicle.This is why this paper is going to use an optimization technique to optimize trajectory path of the UAV flight.The chosen optimization algorithm is Genetic algorithm (GA) which is going to be use to optimize the trajectoryof UAV by determine the shortest path of flight as well as obstacle-free path in order to save energy and timeduring flight. MATLAB and Simulink are used to simulate as well as evaluate the algorithm. In the result fromthe experiment, it appeared that an optimized trajectory path is tremendously better than path from the firstrandomly generated population in term of distance covered as well as time taken before triumph the target pointfrom the initial point

The Impact of Information Technology on Organizational Performance of Nigerian Immigration Service, Kebbi State Command

This study investigated the impact of information technology on organizational performance of NigeriaImmigration Service (NIS) Kebbi State Command. To achieve the objectives of the study, the primary data wascollected through the use of questionnaires. The population used for this research comprises of the entire personnelof NIS Kebbi State Command (465) while Krejcie and Morgan 1970 table was used to select the sample size of214 personnel for the purpose of this study. The 214 questionnaires were administered for data collection. Fromthe results obtained it is revealed that there is a positive relationship between the information technology andorganizational performance; it also shows that information technology has significant effect on organizationalperformance. The study revealed that there are IT devices available for the personnel of NIS Kebbi State Commandto discharge their statutory duties efficiently. The study revealed that the use of IT contributed to increase in revenuegeneration, helped provide the up-to-date technology in computers, and improved the data collection process andreporting by the NIS personnel. This helped in making decision making process faster, improved the operationalefficiency and productivity of the personnel, facilitated better communication in service delivery, helped securedthe information and helped improved the performance of organization. Which means that there is significantrelationship between the Information technologies with the organizational performance of the staff of immigrationservice in Kebbi state offices

Role of social media in the Delay of Corona Virus (COVID-19) Spread in Kebbi State

A mysterious pneumonia outbreak has been announced by the World Health Organization on 31 December 2019,which was later known as COVID-19. COVID-19 is a novel virus that was then declared as pandemic due to its threatto the entire world from its nature of transmission. Since the outbreak, the world has experienced an unexpectedthreat with countless loss of lives across the globe. Despite the danger of COVID-19, many parts of the worldreceived insufficient or no information regarding the virus; its transmission prevention and effective handling oncesomeone is caught with the virus. Although various media sources such as newspapers, televisions, online forums,and social media have been filled with abundant information related to COVID-19, hence, the need to investigatethe contributions of these media sources in the delay of spread of the virus through proper dissemination of COVID-19 related information. This research aims at exploring the role of social media in controlling the COVID-19pandemic in Kebbi state, Nigeria. A survey method was employed in gathering and analyzing data. The resultsrevealed that, majority of the Kebbi state citizens received educational information on the virus and its variouspreventive measures through social media. The people of Kebbi state are fully aware and proactive towards themajor preventive measures against COVID-19 spread
