Abstract This research presents a conceptual procedure for characterizing the essential nature of the diagnostic reasoning process. This computerization of the medical neurological section of the University College Hospital Ibadan in Nigeria leads to effectiveness and efficiency of the existing medical diagnosing process. The main purpose of this project is to design a computerized brain diagnosing system that would be used in carrying out the daily diagnosing activity in the clinic. The dev...
ABSTRACT This study reports an investigation of the effect of carburizing variables - temperature, time and percentage of energizer --on the case properties of C2R steel obtained from HMT Ltd. India. A carburizer consisting of hardwood charcoal and coke respectively in the ratio of 2: 1 was used for the research with sodium carbonate as the energizer. The carburizing box was filled with 20 mm thick carburizer compound prior to fixing the steel samples in place. The specimens were carburized ...
ABSTRACT Filtrate losses and filter cake properties of drilling fluids are of concern in the oil industry because they alter near well bore permeability and can reduce well productivity. Therefore, it is desirable to accurately characterize filtration process during oil well drilling. A mathematical model for analyzing mud filtration in deviated wells was developed in this study. The model determined solid pressure distribution within cake, cake thickness, cumulative volume of filtrate and e...
ABSTRACT Melon seeds are popular in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Egusi as it is called.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a mathematical model that could assist in measuring, monitoring and controlling temperature variation in cold and 'red-hot" metal working conditions or machining.
ABSTRACT A survey involving the use of questionnaires, personal communication, physical observation and photographic recording was undertaken in South western Nigeria comprising of Ekiti, Ogun, On do, Osun and Oyo states to identify the farm structures popularly used; materials used in their construction, their durability and maintenance culture adopted by the users. Farmhouses, cribs, barns, platforms, warehouses, silos, pens, yards and sheds, deep litter houses, palm fronds woven baskets, ...
ABSTRACT The motivation for the present study is derived from the fact that time management is an integral pan of good engineering practice.
ABSTRACT Contamination of oilfield cement slurries by drilling fluids is one of the causes of cement job failures and it results in expensive remedial actions. While the general adverse effects of Pseudo Oil Base Mud (POBM) contamination of cement slurries are known, little has been published on the actual effects of POBM on specific slurry properties. The effect of POBM on the filtration losses in oil well cement slurries was investigated. POBM contaminated slurries at varying contamination ...
ABSTRACT Two of the largest manufacturing plants in Nigeria named plant A and plant B were studied and the data collected from the 10year period 1995-2005 from them enabled an analysis of their energy consumption, energy cost per tone, efficiency of energy use from exergy analysis and carbon dioxide emission rate
ABSTRACT Most the domestic industries in Nigeria lag behind their foreign competitors when it comes to cost and quality.
ABSTRACT Road bumps play a crucial role in enforcing speed limits, thereby preventing over speeding of vehicle.
ABSTRACT The efficiency of the poultry waste water treatment plant of Zartech Limited, Ibadan, Nigeria was assessed based on percentage reduction on the various water contaminants while the unit cost of treated water was compared with that supplied through tankers.
ABSTRACT The dissolution response of y phase to thermal and mechanical effects in an inertia friction welded turbine disk nickel base super alloy RR1000 has been investigated.
ABSTRACT The study focuses on the influence of aluminium titanium boron (A5TB) master alloy on the fatigue behaviour of 6063al alloy.
