A recent study published in African Scientific Reports introduces the Turn-Deviation Optimized Multi-Stage Framework (TDO-MSF) for smoother and more dynamically feasible three-dimensional UAV path planning. The framework combines turn-deviation-optimized bidirectional A* search, multi-scale inflection correction, adaptive-radius smoothing, trajectory-guided enhanced artificial potential fields, and UAV dynamic-feasibility verification. Across six benchmark environments, TDO-MSF reduced the number of turns by about 29.25% compared with the baseline MSF-MTPO method and also shortened path distance. In one benchmark, it generated a 27.90 m path with only two turns and a smoothness index of 0.847. The findings show that jointly optimizing path length, turning behaviour, obstacle avoidance, smoothness, and flight constraints can improve practical autonomous UAV navigation.

A recent study published in Journal of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences presents an Igbo conversational agent that combines FastText and mBERT hybrid embeddings with multilevel attention to improve context retention, dialogue coherence, and Igboโ€“English code-switch handling. Using 383,449 monolingual Igbo sentences for representation learning and 21,000 Igboโ€“English dialogue pairs for evaluation, the proposed model outperformed LSTM, FastText, Transformer, mBERT, and XLM-R baselines. It achieved 44.1% BLEU, 60.3% ROUGE-L, 81.5% context-retention accuracy, an intent-classification F1-score of 87.3%, and an ROC-AUC of 0.91. Human evaluation also showed strong ratings for clarity, cultural sensitivity, multi-turn coherence, and code-switch handling, highlighting the potential of the framework for other African low-resource languages.

A recent study published in Journal of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences develops new Hermiteโ€“Hadamard- and Fejรฉr-type inequalities for interval-valued convex mappings within the Katugampola fractional integral framework. By using the transformed mapping G(s) := F(sยน/ฯ) together with the centerโ€“radius order relation, the researchers derive generalized bounds involving Gamma functions and recover several classical and Riemannโ€“Liouville results as special cases. The study also applies the inequalities to numerical quadrature, constructing a Katugampola-weighted trapezoidal approximation and deriving inclusion-type error estimates. Under additional smoothness and uniform partitioning, the proposed error bound exhibits a first-order global rate, demonstrating how fractional calculus can connect interval-valued analysis, convexity, and numerical integration within a unified framework.
