ABSTRACT The development of soil and rock properties for geotechnical design purposes begins with developing/defining the geologic strata present at the site in question. Therefore, the focus of geotechnical design property assessment and final selection shall be on the individual geologic strata identified at the project site. This research work was been carried out to determine the shear strength characteristics of soils in Ikole Campus of Federal University Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State. Classif...
ABSTRACT This research is focused at designing of water storage facilities of size 875,000 litres (750,000 litres for underground water storage, and 125,000 Litres for elevated steel tank) of treated wastewater and its transmission system for the storage and re-use of treated wastewater. The project is aimed to structurally design water storage facilities and its transmission system from the reservoir to the overhead tank for the re-use of treated wastewater in Covenant University. The...
ABSTRACT Yoruba is a dialect continuum of West Africa with over 50 million speakers. The indigenous is less spoken in our society because of the various trans-national structural revolutions going on in the world today in the name of globalization. Parents want their children to speak and learn English right from infancy and as a result, many aspects of the Yoruba language have been watered down. Many Yoruba words have virtually disappeared, and taken over by English loan words. Given to the...
ABSTRACT In this thesis, an embedded system which is closely monitored and controlled the climate parameters such as humidity, temperature, and light of a greenhouses based on wireless sensor network on a regular basis round the clock for cultivation of crops or specific plant species which could maximize their production was presented. The designed system comprises beside the sensors from microcontroller, monitor, wireless communication based on XBee and respondents such as fan, heater and ...
Abstract Castor oil is classified as semi-drying oil because it oxidizes on exposure to air, giving a gummy film, and can be highly sulphated to make it emulsible in water. In the raw condition it is seldom used in fatliquoring of leathers because crude oil does not emulsify with water and hence the failure of the fatliquor process. Castor seeds were collected, sundried, and crushed. Castor oil was leached in a soxhlet apparatus using hexane as a solvent. An oil content of 28.4%was obtained....
Abstract This research aims to program a data base of prominent and the most common diseases, which require supplementary oxygen care, by determining the specific range between the maximum and minimum dose, those can give a satisfied result. The minimum level will be given automatically, to increase the oxygen level and to determine the patient timing that will be subject to medical consultation and doctor's recommendations. The main objectives of this thesis are, over dose risk to be preven...
ABSTRACT The outgrowth and quick development in telecommunication technologies has open new opportunities for diagnosing of many diseases, which is life threatening, for patients who are in rural areas and district far away from city, and where there is no specialists. Not all of the diseases are to be diagnosed using telecommunication technologies. Critical and life threatening diseases, in which patient cannot wait until going to central hospital, or specialist, need to benefit from the ad...
ABSTRACT ISRASAT1 is the cube satellite being devolved by the Institute of Space Research and Aerospace (ISRA) to orbits at 450 km above the Earth. The main mission of ISRASAT1 is to take images from space, transmit it to ISRA ground station while transmitting a beacon signal all the time. ISRASAT1 subsystems are the onboard computer subsystem (OBC), electrical power subsystem (EPS), attitude determination and control subsystem (ADCS), communication subsystem (COMM) and payload subsystem (PS...
ABSTRACT The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system monitors and controls many applications such as: (Water distribution network including water reticulation,pump stations ,Public utilities, including electrical power generation, oil and gas pipelines, and water and sewage treatment plants). The SCADA system provide reliable and efficient water supply services across (enabling us to monitor and control the entire network from one location, saving time and resources and Minim...
Abstract Recently, the world has begun to experience depletion in energy resources and this issue has become a major concern. Sudan faces a problem with limited fossil fuel resources and an increase in waste accumulation as population growth and economic development play an important role in increasing solid waste generation in addition to increasing energy demand. Sudan is one of the most densely populated countries in Africa, with an annual growth of 2%. We find that about 20% of the popul...
Central Medical Waste Treatment Facility Abstract The main purpose of the research is to design a Common Central biomedical waste treatment facility CBWTF and number of waste assembly points distributed in different geographical locations within state of Khartoum, and then treating and destroying hazardous wastes in a cost-effective and ecology friend. The design depends on high temperature thermal process, that reduce waste hazard, volume and destroying harmful substances by employing combu...
ABSTRACT This research is concerned with analysis and design of the power transmission towers. Three types of the power transmission towers were considered in this research to investigate their structural behavior. Data have been collected about the types of towers, their usage, and the types of the applied loads. The study concentrated on the 220 kV double circuit’s Wawa- Wadi halfa Transmission Line Project, the three types of the transmission towers has different configurations and same...
Abstract Designing and controlling a robotic arm with great performance is one of the fields of interest in many applications. This thesis is concerned with the problems control of robot arm (mentor) using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller for axis1 (shoulder) and axis2 (elbow). The research work was undertaken in the following developmental stages; first stage, estimation of the transfer functions of Direct current (DC) motors actuators of tow axis’s using system identific...
Abstract Fuzzy logic is a paradigm for an alternative design methodology, which can be applied in developing both linear and non-linear systems for embedded control. One of successful application that can use fuzzy control is liquid level control. This control system keeps developing from time to time to replace the ordinary system which applies mechanical functions in its control in order to improve the system reliability. In order to find the best design to stabilize the liquid level, the ...
ABSTRACT The MEMS accelerometer is an important sensor to measure the object’s motion state (acceleration), and it is a key device in inertial systems such as, vibration measurement and navigation systems. MEMS accelerometer has the advantages of high precision and large measurement range, but it suffers from noise problems which results in negative consequences, because of double integration process to calculate the distance which results in erroneous measurements especially when integrat...
