Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in Metropolitan City of Lagos, Nigeria by Kelechi Longinus Njoku, Tosin John Rumide, Modupe Olatunde Akinola, Adeola Alex Adesuyi, Anuoluwapo Omosileola Jolaoso

“…Findings of the study showed that measured levels of noise (61.4 - 101.4 dBA), NO (0.0 - 3.0 ppm), NO2 (0.0 - 3.0 ppm), CO (1.0 – 42.0 ppm) and SPM (0.14 – 4.82 ppm) in all sampling areas were quite high and above regulatory limits however there was no significant difference except in SPM (at all the sampling points), and noise, NO2 and NO (only in major traffic intersection). Air quality index (AQI) indicates that the ambient air can be described as poor for SPM, varied from good to very poor for CO, while NO and NO2 are very good except at major traffic intersection where they were both poor and very poor (D-E). …”

Possibility Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Expert Set Theory and Its Application in Decision Making by Ganeshsree Selvachandran, Abdul Razak Salleh

“…We propose the theory of possibility intuitionistic fuzzy soft expert theory and define some related concepts pertaining to this notion as well as the basic operations on this concept, namely, the complement, union, intersection, AND, and OR. The basic properties and relevant laws pertaining to this concept such as De Morgan’s laws are proved. …”
