Using Nile Basin- Decision Support System (Nb-Dss) For Management Of Khour Abu Habil Water Resources

ABSTRACT Being able to assess the hydrologic ability of Abu Habil catchment to satisfy its future water demands is crucial in order to plan for the future and make wise decisions. In this study a Scenario Analysis approach was used by utilizing NB-DSS model for water resource management, evaluation allocation and planning, in order to assess the impacts of possible future water demands on the water resources of Khour Abu Habil catchment. For each scenario, the main outputs of the model were ...

Performance Analysis For Kaplan Hydraulic Turbines In Jebel Aulia Dam

Abstract: Kaplan Hydraulic Turbines defined as prime movers that transform the kinetic energy for the flow rate of water and head to mechanical energy and electrical energy by electric generator shaft. And knowing the efficiency of a hydraulic turbine has important operational and financial benefits to those who operate in power plant stations. This research focused on the analysis of the effect of the head and the rate of discharge on the energy produced and compared with the other theoret...

LTE Quality Enhancement Using Beam Forming Fractional Frequency Reuse Techniques

Abstract A Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is the most possible candidate for next generation mobile wireless communications. One impairment of LTE is an interference from neighboring cells, so called Inter-Cell Interference (ICI). In this thesis Fractional soft FFR technique has been introduced for better utilization of frequency spectrum. In addition, beamforming technique is considered to be the solution to improve the performance of wireless communication systems, this thesis propos...

Automation of Waste Segregation Via Sensors by Using PLC

Abstract With the growing population rate, the amount of waste being produced is also increasing at a very fast rate. These days in our environment waste management is one of the major problems, the best solution has been proposed to solve this problem is segregating this waste and recycle it. But segregating it manually is complex, dangerous and utilizes more human efforts, cost and time. The proposed system designed to separate five types of wastes into respective bins automatically by the...

Automating Aircraft Painting Hanger By Using PLC Conceptual Design

ABSTRACT Aircraft Painting process recovers from many problem associated with the entire painting activities , such like efficiency , cost , environmental factors, and risks to the painting labors (contaminations , fumes ,flammability , toxicity ) . This research is to provide conceptual design and implement optimum solution to the problems mentioned above by using the automation techniques (PLC tool) to devolve a first phase painting robot .Considering the use of sensors ( object sensors ,...

Speed Control Of DC Motor Using Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller And Fuzzy Logic

Abstract Fuzzy control systems have been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems. It has been shown that these controllers may perform better than conventional controllers, especially when applied to processes difficult to model, with nonlinearities. On the other hand, the direct current (DC) motor has been widely used as well because it is one of the most common actuators used in control systems. The main objective of this research is to control the speed of DC motor us...

A Study Of Optical And Thermal Effectsof Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract The interaction between nanoparticles and radiation holds great interest in Nano medicine. Hyperthermia by laser has been considered as safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normal tissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based on a selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, and copper have been recognized to highly interact with laser beam because of surfa...

Radar Targets Detection Under Complex Environment

ABSTRACT Models for radar detection targets under complex electromagnetic environment were established, including clutters and active electrical jamming. MTI filter based clutter rejection technique is presented. RADARs with fixed carrier frequency profile are vulnerable to jamming; Frequency agility is one of the best techniques used for anti jamming by changing the carrier frequency of the radar.

Study Of Blood Glucose Measurement Based On Blood Resistivity

Abstract Diabetic patients are generally advised to check their blood glucose level 5to 7 times per day. Since the all current existing conventional methods of home blood glucose tests are painful, intimidating, laborious, and expensive, since they require obtaining a blood sample by pricking a fingertip with a needle or lancet. Thus it is necessary to develop a non-invasive blood glucose method which could provide fast, painless, and convenient glucose monitoring to diabetic patients. Since...

Development Of An Automated Counter System For Small And Medium Enterprises

ABSTRACT Counting is a very common activity in our daily lives and when inaccurate results are produced, it could cost us dearly in terms of loss in production, profit and finances. This inaccuracy is very common with the manual method of counting due to fatigue from task repetition over a long period oftime. This project develops an automated counter system to solve the challenge of packaging items below or above advertised quantity to customers by many small scale business organizations wi...

Development Of An Adjectival Phrase-Based System For English To Yoruba Machine Translation

ABSTRACT Yoruba language is gradually going into extinction because most speakers don't know how to write it despite that it is being taught in Primary and Secondary schools in Nigeria. This therefore call for the need of modern day processing tools such as machine translators for the language to catch up with the technological growth the world is experiencing. ln the face of rapid globalization, the significance of Machine translation cannot be overemphasized because it can translate the co...

Development Of An Arduino Based Cost Effective Smart Home Automation System

ABSTRACT Nowadays, most of the conventional home automation systems are designed for special purposes but this system proposes an all-in-one general purpose home automation system that can be easily be implemented in new and existing homes. 'The aim is to develop a reliable, compact, fast and low cost smart home automation system, based on Arduino Uno (microcontroller). Various devices such as LEDs, DC Servo motors, passive infrared sensor have been incorporated in the system to demonstrate ...

Microcontroller GSM Based LPG (Liqufied Petroleum Gas) Leakage, Monitoring, Detection And Control System

ABSTRACT Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leakage poses great danger in this era where its use has become an important source of energy for industries, homes and vehicles alike. A means of avoiding dangers associated with LPG leakage is to install LPG leakage detectors at susceptible areas. The objective of this proposed project therefore is to design and implement a microcontroller based LPG leakage monitoring, detection and control system. The system will be able to detect LPG leakage using M...

A Genetic Algorithm Based Approach To Vehicle Route Search In Ekiti State

ABSTRACT Vehicle routing involves searching for efficient routes for vehicles along transportation networks in an attempt to reduce travel time, route length, service cost. For vehicle drivers, the idea of getting to their destination in the shortest time possible is very appealing especially by taking the shortest path to their destination but the shortest route may not always be the optimal route. Drivers might need multiple and distinct good (near optimal routes) options which are based o...

Development Of A Radio Frequency Identification Based Attendance System

ABSTRACT The challenges of the manual method of taking attendance include difficulty in keeping the attendance list over a long period of time, time wasting during writing or signing, students forgetting to sign and students signing illegally for an absentee. This manual process has a lot of problems which may affect the productivity and management of schools. The aim of this project is to develop a radio frequency identification attendance system. The RFID attendance system utilises a micro...
