CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: trolling body weight, reducing the chances of heart diseases, reducing the risk of diabetes and some other chronic diseases by improving the functions of the heart, lungs and improving the biomechanical system of the body. Aside surgeryand medication, several methods have been proposed for the prevention and treatment of heart conditions. One of such methods is the use of regulated and supervised exercise as therapy both for prevention of ...

ABSTRACT The presence of methylene blue (MB) in wastewater is a major concern in the environment due to its low biodegrability and harmful effect on man. The treatment of effluent containing such dye is important where adsorption on activated carbon (AC) produced from agricultural waste is of great choice. Optimization of the removal efficiency of MB from aqueous solution onto AC prepared from mango shell was investigated. The AC was prepared from mango shell, activated with BaCl2 at I.R (0.0...
Abstract The ever-increasing rate of failure of engineering students in engineering mathematics is one which the school management and entire stakeholders need not wink at any longer. Engineering mathematics is a prerequisite for all engineering discipline. It equips the student with problem solving skills and cognitive ability needed for higher thinking. The research was conducted to investigate and critically analyze the causes of the recent poor performance of engineering students in ...
Abstract: Wireless power transfer system charging multiple devices, through inductive coupling method which is classified under near field transfer region. In this project, we intend to achieve wireless power transfer charging multiple devices such as mobile phone, toothbrush and other low end power devices without the use of conventional copper wire or cable between the transmitter module and receiver module. In t...

ABSTRACT The design of 2 tones automated hydraulic jack was carried out using the basic principles of machine design and analysis. The hydraulic jack was designed with a 204watts wiper motor with the output lever having a torque of 30Nm. The effective diameters of ram and plunger pistons were found to be 12mm and 6mm respectively, when the load lifted was 2000N with mechanical advantage being 3.4. The working stress was 21MPa when the effort applied at the handle by the lever was 594.3N. ...
ABSTRACT As Nigeria aims at optimizing the implementation of the E-learning programme in tertiary institutions, this paper discusses the ways by which the implemented E-learning can be sustained. The discussion was carried out using data derived from students, teaching staff and telecommunication engineers in Nigeria using Owerri metropolis as a case study. Data analysis was carried out and analyzed using excel and Minitab. Conclusions and recommendations were drawn for effective implementa...

The objective of primary cementing operation is to provide zonal isolation while drilling oil and gas wells. To achieve this purpose, cement slurries are designed by adding additives to control certain properties such as density, free fluid, compressive strength, rheology, among others. These additives are imported whereas Ghana produces large amount of agro-waste yearly causing environmental nuisance, though these have the potentials of being used in the petroleum industry. The extender, a l...
ABSTRACT: This project work is on the development of a solar powered car. It involves the design and fabrication of a solar powered car with a carrying capacity of two and a maximum speed of 30 km/hr, which runs entirely on a stand-alone solar system. The car is a unique prototype sedan car. It is designed with dimensions of 3 meters’ x 1.6 meters'. The maximum load carrying capacity of the vehicle is 700 kg and it requires a driving force of about 4.3 kW. The solar car uses a clean engine...
Clean and potable water is one of the basic infrastructures any responsible government needs to provide for its people. I was part of a team of competent engineers that carried out inspection, repair and maintenance of facilities at a water treatment plant. This is a paper work for different maintenance and supervision activities carried out at the water treatment plant. I employed my engineering skills in inspection, maintenance and supervision of the machines, making sure that they are up a...
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF RICE HUSK ASH, POWDERED GLASS AND CEMENT AS LATERITIC SOIL STABILIZERS. ABSTRACT This paper compares the stabilizing effects of three different materials, namely: rice husk ash, powdered glass, and cement on the properties of lateritic soil. The basic properties of the lateritic soil were first obtained through colour, moisture content determination, specific gravity, particle size distribution and Atterberg limits tests. Each of the stabilizing materials was th...
ABSTRACT Tree residues are generated in large quantity in our environment. Nowadays, adding value to these residues could make them become item of economic importance. The aim of this study is to adapt a traditional method of charcoal production (Earth Mound) in order to add value to the tree residues generated in University of Ibadan with a view to enhance the benefit derived from them. The billets of Acacia nilotica were converted from both wet and dry wood samples. The billets were t...
Abstract The cost of managing ornamental and naturally growing trees in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, is becoming challenging. Adding value to the residues from these trees with a view to enhance its economic value will minimize the management cost. This study adapted Earth Mound method of charcoal production to add value to tree residues generated in the University of Ibadan to enhance its economic value. Mixed residues of Acacia nilotica (Acacia), Albizia zygia (Ayunre) and Melicia ex...
