The study examined the utilization of information and communication technologies by agricultural extension workers in Niger State, Nigeria. To achieve the study objective, 206 respondents were proportionately and randomly selected from the three agricultural zones in the State through multi-stage sampling technique. Validated questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.81 was used to collec...

This paper puts forward a real-time angular tracking (motion capture) system for a low cost upper limb exosuit based on sensor fusion; which is integrated by an elastic sleeve-mitten, two inertial measurement units (IMU), two flex sensors and a wireless communication system. The device can accurately detect the angular position of the shoulder (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and interna...

Constructive meaning is given to the assertion that every finite Boolean algebra is an injective object in the category of distributive lattices. To this end, we employ Scott’s notion of entailment relation, in which context we describe Sikorski’s extension theorem for finite Boolean algebras and turn it into a syntactical conservation result. As a byproduct, we facilitate proofs of several rel...

Abstract We present a method to stabilize bases with local supports by means of extension. It generalizes the known approach for tensor product B-splines much broader class functions, which includes hierarchical and weighted variants polynomial, trigonometric, exponential splines, but also box T-splines, other function spaces interest basis. Extension removes elements that cause instabilities f...
