I’m in Lagos sir
(drags) I mean, it takes few seconds to select when on motion

It jerks when changing gears, especially when changing to reverse

The ATF I use ?? I’ve forgotten the name right now (white keg with a blue cover)

I scanned it once, it gave me a code jwhere I need to check the ECU and oxygen sensor 2 or something like that (forgotten the codes)

ClearAll:
I just changed it two months ago and it’s still wine in color it doesn’t shift smoothly when on “D” sometimes it drags and sometimes it does smoothly, what could be the problem to this?

Cousin9999:
Good thread.

Maryjewett:
That was how I was babmouthed when I bought my EOD but could you believe that I haven't done any thing regarding to the legs for 2 years and running? Only changed ball joints the second day I bought the car, bought all tires and I haven't heard a damn noise. Been traveling with it. Only problem I've had is changing my transmission.
Last week when it rained in my area heavily throughout the week, we spotted 2 corolla and spider knocked soaking in the water and my EOD and a civic passed through same water comfortably. I'm talking full flooded almost covering my tires. No single water entered both cars. I would have avoided the road if there was an option.
The next day we also saw a RAV 4, C300 and spider ball joints pulled out along the express way. We didn't come across any Honda.
This was my personal experience this past week raining period. A guy using an rx300 was complaining bitterly about how his transmission has been misbehaving since he passed through the same water during that rain and his car is in the workshop. I guess
People who complain about Honda don't maintain their car or Honda is rugged somehow. Switching from BMW to Honda I don't regret any part of it

To begin with, this topic is not properly framed. ANN cannot be used to determine "Path Loss Propagation." An artificial neural network (ANN) is a prediction tool that can only make predictions based on data that has been previously trained.

About the Topic:

An electromagnetic wave's power density decreases as it travels over space, which is known as path loss. Path loss is an important factor to consider while analyzing and designing a telecommunication system's link budget. In wireless communications and signal propagation, this word is frequently used.

Wireless communication is rapidly evolving, due to various technologies these days, resulting in a significant need for higher signal strength and network capacity. Accurate and reliable path loss models are critical for radio network coverage and signal interference predictions in order to achieve effective network architecture.

A wireless system's network performance and Quality of Service will suffer as a result of improper base station placement. As a result, developing an optimal path loss prediction model is beneficial for designing efficient and effective wireless communication systems.

That's where ANN comes into the picture of the above topic.

ANN models have proven to be more accurate than empirical models and easier to deploy than deterministic models. In addition, in rural, suburban, and urban propagation situations, ANN can be used for path loss forecasts.

To use ANN to make this prediction, you'll require a set of input variables, the majority of which will be field measurements. Some of the inputs could be "coordinates of positions, frequency, distance, building height, street width, population, antenna height, scattering angles, transmitter and receiver heights, frequency band etc"

Prediction with Artificial neural network

After you've gathered your data, you'll experiment with the number of hidden neurons, activation function, and training techniques to find the best neural network settings for predicting path loss. There is various/software tool to use the ANN with like Matlab. You may also, use other machine learning prediction models like support vector regression or decision tree and compare the prediction with your ANN results.

I hope that helps!

Option 1 will be cheaper to build than Option 2 when you consider the following:

1. Shape | The shape of a building has a significant effect on cost. The complex the shape the more expensive it will be.

2. Size of the footprint | The foundation accounts for almost 30% of your construction cost. The larger the building, the more expensive it becomes when you consider the setting out cost, time to build, material requirement and wastages.

3. Functionality | You’ll have better functionality in a compact and repetitive design than you’ll get in complex layouts. Option 2 will be slower to assemble and maintain when you consider building services.
Building with considerable repetition are economical to produce. Apart from the civil works, the cost of components and fittings is the same for all flats. It’s not the same when you have a complex layout like option 2.

4. Circulation Space | Option 1 will do better here. Think of what it’ll cost to achieve cross ventilation in all rooms.
Option 1 will offer more productive space.

5. Security | Option 1 will also do better here.

6. Curb Appeal | The importance of curb appeal can’t be overemphasized. It is the first impression of a property before most tenant will even step inside. A taller building would appeal more than a dwarf building.

The aesthetic look of the exterior gives your target market what to expect at the other side of the front door.

7. Finishing | I won’t be able to dwell on this but it’ll cost you more to do the POP of Option 2. It’ll also cost you more to do plumbing in Option 2. Even the cost of your concrete fascia, roofing woodwork, roofing sheets/tiles, etc.

8. Value | Option 1 has higher resale value when you consider the ample space left for parking and the number of storey

I hope this will help your client make an informed decision.

Good morning prof.

Guess you are doing well?

Could you please enlighten me on this project topic.

Determining Path Loss Propagation Model using ANN.

QSFemi:
Good evening all.

I want to write some notes on two terms that are not clearly understood in the context of construction contracts. I've said it here, times without number, that construction job is a contract either an expressly written contract was entered into or word of mouth agreement. As long as there is an offer to execute a job and a consideration (renumeration) for such job, a contract has already been established.

Construction job is very complex and complicated processes, as such there are bound to be issues during the construction stage. One of such prevalent issues is VARIATION. I've heard people use this word loosely, even in wrong context. So, I've make it my duty to define the word this night and differentiate it from another term that's confused for variation which is know as FLUCTUATION.

What's Variation?

According to Joint Contract Tribunal (JCT) 2011 with quantities, the term Variation means:

1) the alteration or modification of the design, quality or quantity of the works including:

(i) the addition, omission or substitution of any
work;
(ii) the alteration of the kind or standard of any of
the materials or goods to be used in the works;
(iii) the removal from site of any work executed or
site materials other than work, materials or
goods which are not in accordance with this
contract.
These are most recurring scenarios on site.

Fluctuation on the other hand refers to change in price of materials during the period of the construction contract.

Typical examples.

A change of window opening in the design to built up block work is an example of variation while the increase in the price of block from 250 during the contract bill preparation to 300 during the construction phase is an example of fluctuations.

NB: Variations in construction projects do not necessarily lead to increase in the construction cost.

These terms are very important in contract administration.

Let me stop here tonight.

Have a pleasant night rest to everybody here.

VSA - Vehicle stability assist, comes on when reckless drivers manoeuvres turns dangerously, shows the car system is trying to assist stability.

CAN'T ACTUALLY REMEMBER DRIVING RECKLESSLY OR TURNING DANGEROUSLY ON SATURDAY!

Also a faulty ABS sensor can trigger it as well.

THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS JUST PERFECT!

Reset, if it return, go do a scan and replace bad component

I NOTICED THAT THE REMOTE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING...THIS MORNING.
I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEY TOO!

I noted that the three points I raised only focus on the research done previously. Thank you for the contribution.

Hello people,
I am aspiring to study in Canada for MSc in Engineering. I have sent a lot of cold emails to professors in U15 canadian universities. It's either no response or they are not accepting new student. One just told me no opening for my background. Please, those in Canada how did you pass through this stage.
Kindly help

bilal4riid:
Good day all.
I'm happy to check back this educative thread.
I want to write an article helping students how to find a research topic.
find below my three main points i want to discuss.

please help add your contributions.
thank you

In the introduction of a particular paper of interest, after the author must have introduced the topic, at the last paragraphs he would state his topic and reason why he is embarking on the topic of research, so in the conclusion what is achieved is stated, therefore the difference between what authors aimed at the beginning and what is achieved serve as a problem. The author may clearly stated it as recommendation for future work.


Another interesting way to observe research problems is by noting the problem created by a solution of the focused paper. The authors of a certain work may successfully solve a problem targeted but yet bring about another problem, in orther words one solution begets another problem, thus the problem constitutes a research problem

Follow up reading to the citations of paper of interest is another means which the understanding is improved therefore help come up with research problem, a reputable paper must have got considerable citations, these citations which are works update related to the paper could enlighten the student further which provide wider understanding to the area of study. Note that both the references and citations of the paper are important interms of understanding the work well hence help bring up a research problem. While the references are works that lead up to the paper, the citations are works building up to it.

The saying goes without saying, a problem shared is a problem half solved, this saying correlates well with regard to research topic finding, students will embark on a rigorous reading spree to find a problem from a selected few articles then discuss the problem with a more experienced person-supervisor in this case- and the solution to the problem is provided. Note that reverse could be the case, the research problem could be raised by the supervisor while students go find a solution. Furthermore the possibilities for students to come up with both the problem and solution is not rule out.
With solution proffered to a research problem a few sentences could be put together to form research topic

This Kentucky404 guy you are really more stupid than I imagined. You think you are on a parade, to humiliate or intimidate me right ? but you are cooking your death. We see news of some radom ppl killed for no reasons and then comments like "what did this innocent boy do to deserve this bla bla " will follow up.

Few days ago some guy was beheaded and his head played as football by small boys and you think they just woke up and decided to carry out a planned assassination like that right? But guess what that's how you will end up you know why because this same character of yours online, you will equally exhibit it offline and there will be someone hot tempered like me that will have had enough of it. You think you are untouchable right?, you think you are the chief whip, okay continue. You are still a small kid and you will learn the hard way.

I don't know where you live but i am very confident there's someone around you that you have offended and he's plotting your death already and he will successfully get you coz fools like you are unable to conver their tracks or control their tongue. So continue. This is my only account on nairaland and i will keep posting with this, wherever i post keep quoting me. You will die a horrible death and yours will make frontpage of this same nairaland.

This i wish upon you and your family wether immediate or extended family, as we read horrible stories of ppl being gruesomely killed so also will you and your family experience that kind of death and your bodied will never be found to be buried, you think these are just words and will not happen okaaaay watch and see how your life will turn out.

You will experience nothing but pains and sorrows all the rest of your days and i know you are single because no married responsible person will behave like you so you will remain single and die single and nothing you will ever achieve on earth.

Amen!!!

It's very simple; if you have feverish conditions and you want to verify it's malaria, try to move your eyeballs to either the extreme left or right side of your face.
If you feel a slight pain in your eyeballs, it's definitely malaria.
If you don't feel pains.
Diagnose for other kinds of fever.

Thanks.

Hello, Please I will be needing everyone's opinion on this;

I have this small space I created for kids, I don't wanna install tiles now on the floor(money issues).

What are the cheaper options to tiling apart from just cementing the floor?

I need help. Thanks

gbadexy:

Most part of my experience comes from feedback from my painters and screeders who are actually on the field and encounter various challenges.
My main screeder told me he doesn't like working with or building screeded with portland cement ( grey cement).
He said after a couple of years, they tend to peel and fall off. They have tendency to crack also, especially if cheaply done with little p.v.a binder added. If sufficient extra binder is used, it would be better but then how is that much different from the basecoat. Only the filler in basecoat is replaced with little cement as the pop emulsion used to mix it also has basecoat filler.
Cement needs proper hydration and certain thickness and with cement, pop emulsion and whateverbond, it would be applied light and I suspect dry fast without sufficient time to hydrate.
Besides, I've stated it here severally that cement forms a chemical reaction with sand (silica) by gelling them. Both on the block surface and the plaster mix and they don't form any reaction with calcium carbonate in pop emulsion used to mix them. They just act as a further inert filler with the calcium carbonate in such capacity.
It may hydrate itself and harden somewhat but there is little interaction with the pop emulsion used to mix it. The only thing holding it to the wall is the pva bond added and the amount used would determine the strength.
I posted a building that was screeded close to six years before the owner decided to paint it as it was white and looked painted and was used as a reference point in the area ( white house).
Perhaps p.o.p experts and screeders can shed more light to say if they have ever encountered basecoat cracking. It's what oyinbo people use in screeding!
