ABSTRACT Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the common cause of obstetric haemorrhage and the leading cause of maternal deaths in Nigeria. Injectable uterotonics, which include ergometrine, oxytocin and syntometrine are the conventional drugs used and also remain the first line drug for prevention and treatment of PPH. However, these drugs are heat-sensitive when exposed to hot climates over long period of time which means they need to be refrigerated in order to maintain their potency. This m...

Abstract: Maize and faba bean are cultivated as both sole and intercropping systems by smallholder farmers in eastern Ethiopia. The farmers have been recently practicing intercropping of the two crops. However, productivity of the crops is low and evidence-based information is lacking on on-farm diversity of faba bean and productivity of faba bean-maize intercropping system. The general objective of this research was to investigate on-farm diversity and agro-morphological variability of farm...

ABSTRACT The Project work presents an Optimum design of welded plate girder. A simply supported plate girder with span of 15meters was chosen for the case study. The girder was subjected to a self-weight of 50KN/m and concentrated loads of 1000KN at 5m and 10m from the left support. The plate girder was analysed to get the design moments and shear forces. An initial manual design was carried out for the plate girder in accordance with BS 5950-2000. From the design, initial section parameters ...
