The global quantum information-theoretical analysis of the class of Yukawa potential (CYP) in the presence of magnetic and Aharonov–Bohm (AB) fields has been examined both analytically and numerically in this research piece. The energy equation and wave function for the CYP are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation in the presence of external magnetic and AB fields using the functional analysis technique. The probability density is used to calculate the Tsallis, Rényi, and Onicescu information energy entropies numerically. The influence of the screening parameter (β), magnetic (B→), and AB (ξ) fields on the global information-theoretical measurements for the CYP is explored. Atomic and molecular physics, quantum chemistry, and physics are specific areas where these research findings will find application.

The effects of solar radiation on energy conversion efficiency of solar panel in Uyo and Port-Harcourt were investigated and the analysis compared. Solar radiation measurements as well as formal meteorological data were utilized. Data were also recorded from digital instruments used. Graphical analyses were made between solar radiation and current, voltage and efficiency. Results obtained show that solar radiation is directly proportional to current and efficiency but fairly stable with voltage. A comparative analysis show that an average of 87.8Klux of solar radiation 22.4x 10-1 A of current, 8.2V of voltage recorded 96.5% of power efficiency in Uyo. While 67.9 Klux of solar radiation, 15.1x10-1 A of current, and 7.5V of recorded 65.

The intensity of solar energy that is received by a particular location is affected by most meteorological conditions including, the solar irradiance received by the location, precipitation, extreme heat as a result of the surface or ambient temperature, etc. We obtain the monthly global solar irradiation and ambient temperature for the three (3) eco-climatic zones in the south of Nigeria (17 locations) for 12 years (2005 - 2016) from the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) Satellite. The goal of this study is to understand how regional meteorological conditions affect radiation and temperature reception. Monthly and annual trends were plotted and compared for both variables in each region to show the similarity or dichotomy in their trends. The Mann-Kendall (M-K) trend test has been adopted to reveal that the changes in the variations on an annual basis, and results showed that the trend were not significant for both variables. Box plots have been used to give a better description of the data, and compared to show similarities and differences. Finally, we adopted the Gaussian (normal) distribution to show, understand and compare the data distribution. Linear regression plots for each zone shows that the relationship between the solar irradiation and temperature is high. Results show that the climate and vegetation of a region contributes majorly to the variation of radiation and temperature. Inhomogeneityof data or results for locations in the same zones may be attributed to local meteorological conditions. The results obtained here will prove vital in decision making relating to the adoption of solar energy technologies in the region.
