Determination of Headway and Average Travel Speed of Vehicles (Case Study of Post Office-Kwara State Polytechnic Permanent Site Car Park Road)

ABSTRACT Since it is compulsory that people and goods move from one part of the country to the other or within particular defined regional area, the facilities used for this purpose need to be well planned, designed and constructed. Inadequate and unplanned traffic control constitute a lot of problems resulting in delay, congestion, immobility to uneasy access to transport etc. This project is to determine the headway and average travel speed of vehicles (Case study of post office- Kwara Sta...

An Investigation Into Water Demand And Distribution in Ilorin West Local Government (A Case Study of Egbejila)

  ABSTRACT This project work examined the water demand and supply in Egbejila area of Ilorin west local government, Kwara State. The three main users of water focused upon in the study area are residential, commercial (block industry, hair salon, food canteen) and agricultural water use. Also, the three main sources of water available to the users i.e. borehole, pipe borne water and well water supplies were investigated to determine the effectiveness of these sources of water in meeting up ...

Modeling Of Gas Pollution From Ilorin Animal Waste Dumpsite

ABSTRACT Atmospheric emission of trace gases such as carbon (iv) oxide (co4), carbon (II) oxide (co), methane (ch4) e.t.c. associated with animal waste are world wild problem and may contribute to a detrimental impact on the environment in such a way that millions of people will be affected especially poor people who live in precarious location or depend on land for sustenance living. And this effect was determined by modeling the effect of trace gases on the environment. The two (2) main a...

A Study On Geotechnical Investigation Of Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development Project (Dhaka Metro Rail)- Line-06

ABSTRACT       Metro Rail is a mass rapid transportation system and also environment friendly. It is also a modern technology for transportation. To overcome the future demand and to make a short and less time consuming transportation system, Bangladesh Government has taken this project. It is a fast and time saving transportation system which is really needed for Dhaka. This study covers to find out geotechnical investigation and to compare the pile bearing  capacity  load  between  ...

An Investigation on Types of Litter Found Along the Walvis Bay Promenade

Table of Content Introduction  Objectives  Study design  Data collection  Results  Discussion  Recommendation  References Introduction Litter is the improper disposal of waste products through human activities (Berglund, Koivula & Eeva 2011). Why people litter?  Dropping litter where litter has already accumulated. Lack of knowledge on the effects of litter on the environment. Laziness & Ignorance A promenade is a public walkway, typically along the sea front.  The Walvis Ba...

Early Plant Disease Detection and Recommendation Using ML CNN

Identification of the plant diseases is the key to preventing the losses in the yield and quantity of the agricultural product. Almost 70% people depend on it & shares major part of the GDP. Diseases in crops mostly on the leaves effects on the reduction of both quality and quantity of agricultural products. Perception of human eye is not so much stronger so as to observe minute variation in the infected part of leaf. In this paper, we are providing software solution to automatically detect a...

Design of Advanced Peripheral Bus for Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter

The huge progress of VLSI technology enables the integration of millions of transistor on a single chip called System on chip (SoC).The SoC uses AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) as on chip bus protocol. AMBA’s specifications define five buses/interfaces: Advanced extensible Interface (AXI), Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB), Advanced System Bus (ASB), Advanced Trace Bus (ATB), and Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). AXI, AHB, ASB, ATB which are high performance buses used to in...

Cashew Nut Shell Liquid, A Renewable and Reliable Petro-Chemical Feedstock

ABSTRACT The physical properties of CNSL extracted by pyrolysis was studied using standard procedures. The physical properties of the CNSL studied and results obtained compared with other extraction methods (hexane extracted and decarboxylated) from literature are moisture content 4.1%, (6.40%, 3.2%), specific gravity 0.943 (0.926, 0.926) viscosity 57cp (40cp, 358cp), pH 4.5 (4.5, 5.2) and the percent composition of the CNSL compared with those from literature are cardol 27% (30%, 31% (carda...

Case Study: Unyama National Teachers College, Gulu

For the last few years, technology has spread so fast. Every institution wants to computerize its system. Unyama National Teachers' College is one of the institutions. This institution is a teachers' training school whereby every year, students graduate after completing their course (takes two years). This therefore calls for an efficient and timely way of processing the students' transcript. A full analysis of the current system was done and problems being faced noted down. With knowledge ga...

Design Of An Electronic Siren Circuit

Siren is a device that produces loud noise. They are the means communication. Sirens can be seen in emergency vehicles such as police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. Generally, sirens are used as indication or warning. There are different circuits to produce different sirens. The word siren first originated in Greek mythology and was also later used to refer to mermaids. Language and literature have used the word siren as indicative of dangerous temptations. The siren as we understand ...

Optimum Artificial Lift Selection for Condensate Gas Well

The reservoir characteristics of the gas condensate well is special and the changes of the behavior of the well have a significant impact to the production rate. When we do a proper optimization that can lower the operating costs, maximizing HC recovery and the net present value of a project can be increased. The optimization of the well level can be accomplished by adjusting well parameters such as tubing size, wellhead and the skin factor. All of these parameters were investigated with the ...

Minimizing Electrical Power Outage In Akwa-Ibom State - A Panacea To Poor Power System Reliability

ABSTRACT This work analysed the current state of power system in Nigeria with emphasis on distribution system using Akwa Ibom Distribution System as a case study. The components of the study system were analyzed. This work adopted the analytical and simulation approach to reliability and stability assessment. Analysing the system the way it is shows that the system was not reliable and stable. The outcome gotten from the base state of the system confirmed this. The results for the current st...

Investigation Of Voltage Stability In Nigeria Integrated Power System Using Pattern Recognition From Power System Simulator For Engineering (PSSE)

ABSTRACT The basic idea deals with detecting the voltage collapse ahead of time to provide the operators a lead time for remedial actions and for possible prevention of blackouts. To detect cases of voltage collapse, pattern recognition in conjunction with power system simulator for engineering (PSSE) program was created and then deployed in Nigeria 330KV integrated power system to develop Regularized Least Squares Classification (RLSC) as well as Classification and Regression Trees (CART) h...

Gsm Mobile App: A Solution To The Challenges Of The Current Voting System In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria

ABSTRACT The word “vote” means to choose from a list, to elect or to determine. The main goal of voting (in a scenario involving the students of a given tertiary institution), is to come up with student-leaders of the students’ choice.Most tertiary institutions, FUTO not an exception have problems when it comes to voting. Some of the problems involved include rigging votes during election, insecure or inaccessible polling arena, inexperienced personnel and so on because voting in these...

Design And Development Of Computer Based Test System To Facilitate E-Exam.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this project was to design and develop a Computer Based Testing (CBT) system in order to facilitate the process of conducting e-examinations especially in tertiary institutions. There is a growing need to find an easy and effective way to carryout continuous assessments for the increasing population of students. The CBT system will afford instructors the opportunity to assign different weights to the multiple choice questions. The method adopted was a client/server ba...
