Mathematical Properties of Non-Convex Functions  Local Minima and Maxima: A non-convex function can have multiple local minima and maxima, unlike convex functions, which have at most one global minimum. keywords: amgt; convex; function; gradient; optimization; 𝑇(𝑄 cache: gojar-5991.pdf plain text: gojar-5991.txt item: #41 of 45 id: gojar-5992 author: Christian Osemuyi Oseghale, Festus Funmileyi Ajomale & title: Oil Spills in the Niger Delta and Their Impact on Food Security in Nigeria: A Prevalent Challenge date: 2025 words: 6918 flesch: 42 summary: Oil spills are a frequent occurrence in this region due to factors such as pipeline leaks, sabotage, and inadequate infrastructure. In conclusion, the paper emphasises that oil spills in the Niger Delta pose a grave threat not only to the environment but also to food security in the country; their devastating ripple effects include economic instability, exacerbation of poverty, health hazards, and communal unrest in the region. keywords: delta; food; food security; global; gojar; journal; niger; niger delta; nigeria; oil; oil spills; region; research; security; spills; vol cache: gojar-5992.pdf plain text: gojar-5992.txt item: #42 of 45 id: gojar-5993 author: R.

Umeora (2018) noted that the colonial masters introduced housing estates to house their employees near their places of work in cities. keywords: conditions; data; estates; housing; journal; maintenance; management; nigeria; owerri; research; table cache: gojar-5994.pdf plain text: gojar-5994.txt item: #44 of 45 id: gojar-5995 author: Adebayo Abubakar Funsho, Mudassir Hassan & title: Exploring the Impact of Integrative Artificial Intelligence Tools on the Writing Proficiency of University Students in Kano State date: 2025 words: 12 flesch: 25 summary: keywords: script cache: gojar-5995.htm plain text: gojar-5995.txt item: #45 of 45 id: gojar-5996 author: Enajite Ojaruega, Blessing Ekpe Okpapi & title: Rethinking Motifs in Selected Children’s Literary Texts date: 2025 words: 6884 flesch: 68 summary: In other words, children literature offers the young ones the opportunity to explore Global Online Journal of Academic Research (GOJAR), Vol. 4, No. 1 February 2025 105 situations and feelings in literary texts they may have not yet encountered in real life.
