ABSTRACT In modern technology, wireless communication is widespread and it started to be used in everyday life, for example, Wireless phone chargers, home automation systems, etc. widely use wireless communication. People want smart systems to make their life easy, and I want to discard the cables that limit our mobility. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a free intercom system that uses WIFI in p2p (Peer-to-Peer) or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) as a means of commu...
ABSTRACT This report contains five chapters, in chapter one, as an introductory part of this project report, contained in chapter, we first define what accident is, the background of the study, that is to say, how the problem started or what prompted us to carry out the project. The problem statement, this is about the challenges we are solving, the main objective, specific objectives, significance of the study, and scope of the study. In chapter two, this chapter covers the literature revi...

This report comprises of three chapters, highlighting the order in which the design was carried out. A detailed introduction of the project that was considered for the design; which includes the background and introduction of both the project and the site....
ABSTRACT The study was to design a sanitary landfill in Kapchorwa central division to curb the problem of improper solid waste disposal. According to the study that was conducted within the municipality; it was found out that the municipality majorly had four main sources at which the solid wastes are generated; Residential wastes, Commercial wastes and Institutional wastes Qualitative data was collected to know the characteristics of solid wastes whereas quantitative data was used to measur...
ABSTRACT Water pollution is a serious problem for the entire world. It threatens the health and well being of humans, plants, and animals. As the world became more industrial and smaller due to communications and trade, accidental and purposive hazardous dumping have contributed to the problem of sources of water pollution. All water pollution is dangerous to the health of living organisms, but springs and borehole pollution can be especially detrimental to the health of humans. Springs and ...
ABSTRACT. To achieve most accurate coverage area results during installations of sector antennas, the technical team must create a coverage map for each of the sectors basing on the provided coverage values. The technical team uses these values to make manual position adjustments of sector antennas. Manual antenna adjustments are sometimes risky in a way that unexpected accidents usually occur that even result into death. To overcome such scenarios, an android based sector Antenna positioni...
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Uganda has got many Small and Medium Sized Contractors (SMSC) engaged in the construction business. Some of these (SMSC) change business name and scope within a short time because of the competitiveness pressures within the construction industry. Little is achieved by these struggling SMSC due to the level of development of the local construction industry (LCI). Recent studies show that the Local Construction Industry is not very competitive, undeve...
ABSTRACT This study presents the derivation of polynomial functions for the prediction of critical axial forces in bridge trusses. Four different bridge trusses were considered in this study, three of which are statically determinate while one is statically indeterminate. These trusses at different height to span (aspect) ratios were tested for critical axial forces under the same conditions. The graphs of their critical axial forces against aspect ratios were plotted and this led to the find...
ABSTRACT This study investigated the structural characteristics of chikoko mud-cement concrete. The structural characteristics of chikoko mud-cement concrete investigated were compressive strength, flexural strength, shear strength and split tensile strength while the elastic properties investigated were static modulus of elasticity, poisson’s ratio and shear modulus. The water absorption of chikoko mud-cement concrete as a reflection of concrete durability was also investigated. Ninety (9...
ABSTRACT This work investigates the optical properties of glass prepared using Otamiri Silica sand mixed with analytical grade oxides as a function of their composition. Three batches were prepared with Phosphorus as the main variable of the SiO2-Na2OB2O3-CaO-ZnO glass system. The glass was melted in a ceramic crucible with a lid and the glasses melted after two hours of firing in a monolithic charcoal furnace. The effect of varying SiO2 and P2O5 on optical properties was determined using a ...
ABSTRACT Development and performance analysis of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a transportation fuel for automobiles in Nigeria are presented. The study involved compositional analysis of natural gas obtained from the product sales point at a treatment plant about 10km off the Port Harcourt-Onitsha route chosen to ensure standard sales gas specifications, design of the gas pipeline network and the refuelling stations requirement and locations. Using field investigations and developed physi...
ABSTRACT This study developed computer software with the capacity to provide a generalized solution to queuing problems involving laborious, time consuming and complex mathematical approach of evaluating the performance measures of queuing systems when it was applied in the analysis of the six (6) fundamental performance measures of thirty (30) different organizations representing the six (6) queuing systems; the result was compared with that of mathematical computations and 97.22% complianc...
ABSTRACT The proposed Access Roads which will connect the Airport Road to the main gate of the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja, Nigeria and the proposed Bridge Housing Estate when constructed will foster broader community goals by promoting business activities within and around the University environment. Topographic data were taken, traffic study and traffic volume forecast where carried out; minimum curve radii and curve lengths were calculated The traffic study for the...
ABSTRACT The analysis of macro and trace elements in selected snacks available in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria showed varied concentrations of the essential elements (Fe, Cu, Ni, Zn, Mg, Ca, K, Na, Mn, Cr) and non-essential elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, Co) in the fifteen different samples (Meat-pie, Bread, Cake, Doughnut, Scotched egg, Sausage, Samosa, Spring Roll, Scones, Egg Roll, Akara, Buns, Okpa, Fish Roll, Chicken pie) analyzed. Potassium and Sodium were determined using Flam...
ABSTRACT This research work presents the static analysis of short cylindrical shell under internal liquid pressure with various boundary conditions and aspect ratios. Improved fourth order finite difference method was employed for the analysis and a MATLAB computer program was developed based on the matrix equations and models generated from the analysis. The following boundary conditions were covered in this research; short circular cylindrical shell simply supported at both edges(s-s), sho...
