Abstract Background There is a dearth of information on diet-related chronic diseases in West Africa.This cross-sectional study assessed the rate of obesity and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a random sample of 200 urban adults in Benin and explored the associations between these factors and socio-economic status (SES), urbanisa
With the advent of the digital age, traditional lifestyle activities, such as reading books, referencing recipes, and enjoying music, have progressively transitioned from offline to online.However, numerous issues plague the conventional approach to digital copyright protection.This is especially true in the realm of recipe protection, where the ri
This work presents the development and implementation of a distributed navigation system based on object recognition algorithms.The main goal is to introduce advanced algorithms for image processing and artificial intelligence techniques for teaching control of mobile robots.The autonomous system consists of a wheeled mobile robot with an integrate
The calculation and determination of damage indices and corresponding damage Appliance Cords and repair states (DSs and RSs) are effective estimation tools for seismic vulnerability evaluation of steel plate shear walls (SPSWSs) due to experiencing different failure mechanisms at various loading levels.The unique properties of trapezoidally corruga
A comprehensive framework for the layout optimisation of rigid-jointed frame Yarrow Flowers structures is proposed, addressing multiple mechanical constraints while effectively managing geometric complexity.The constraints considered include displacement, stress, and both local and global stability.Geometric complexity is controlled by minimising l
