African locust bean is a leguminous plant that is rich in nutrients and is used as food condiment. The traditional method of processing this food condiment is mostly unhygienic; consume a lot of fire wood, human energy and time. Using traditional methods for boiling 33.7Kg of locust bean would take about 12 hours. This study attempts to mechanize the existing traditional methods of boiling locust bean by designing, constructing, and evaluating electrically powered locust bean boiler. The...

Nowadays, consumption of rice is increasing that leads to the greater demand in the production of it. After harvesting and shelling, husk remains and comes in great volume. Thus this rice husk is one of the big problems to be considered. Some studies suggested a solution to put rice husk ash as partial substitute to cement in concrete mixing in order to minimize the large quantity of rice husks build up as time goes by. Reinforced concrete is concrete in which reinforcing bars or other typ...
Impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Northern Nigeria: Ojie Moses Okim Department of ICT Cross River State University, Cross River Abstract The main constraints to the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in Northern Nigeria are identified, argued and related to the setting up of a common computerized system based on the National Bureau of Statistics’ (NBS) report which places mostly northe...
ABSTRACT The Student Industrial Working Scheme (SIWES) is a program that was designed by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) with the aim of aiding young science and engineering university students to have an experience of working in industries and companies based on their fields of study in order to extend their learning outside the classrooms and lecture halls. This is a report which contains information about my SIWES experience. It contains details on the company I worked in which wa...

Machining: Sintered parts do have some porosity and it is, therefore, necessary to differentiate their machining behaviour from those of fully dense wrought products. The major differences are, as follows: (i) when a porous metal is machined, the depth of work hardening is more important than for the wrought metal, as in case of former, pores create stress concentration. (ii) The temperature at the tool end causes oxidation of the pore surface. (iii) The surface porosity enhances tool vibra...
ABSTRACT This report brings to the fore, The Renewable Energy Sources presently accessible to the human species, and the feasibility of harnessing these energy sources in Nigeria. Since the dawn of the 21st Century, Global Warming, Carbon Emission Reductions and Renewable Energy Sources have all been major topics of discussion, permeating into the facets of every socio-economic and political forum such as, Davos Economic Forum, G7 and G20 Conventions, and has spawned specific platforms for di...
Introduction: In 2000, Nigeria developed a policy on Information Technology (IT), with the aim of making Nigeria an IT adapted country in Africa and also a leading player in the use of ICT as an implement for sustainable development and global competitiveness. Since then Information and Communication Technology has been on the lips of every academic. The world is about to leave behind anyone that is not ICT compliant. ICT has various forms and roles which it performs in learning, especially...
In democratic countries, voting is an vital tool to collect and re-act people‘s views. In the elections, the election of member of the assembly, the head of local/state government election, and others, a voter can cast vote after going to the designated polling place and checking his identity. Conventionally, voting booth is used for casting votes in both centralized and distributed places. Voting is done under the supervision of authorized parties. Counting of votes is done manually once...
INTRODUCTION:Many interconnection device are required in a modern network, from the interface that allows a single computer to communicate with other computers via a LAN cable or a telephone line, to the large and complex switching devices that interconnect two or more entire networks.

ABSTRACT: This work entails design, construction, packaging and evaluation of a prototype automatic a.c. voltage stabilizer using parallel cascaded relays. The unit was cascaded to provide more switching contacts on the auto-transformer. The overall system design is a compact assembly encased in a portable metal box with handle which can operate on 90v minimal input voltage. In this paper, a parallel cascaded relay what is essential was implemented in the design of voltage stabi...
Abstract Petroleum based detergents are neither soluble nor biodegradable; they are so stable such that when they flow into the soil, sewer or surface waters, they remain unchanged, resisting conversion into less complex and more soluble substances. In this work methyl ester sulphonate (MES) was produced by transesterification followed by sulphonation of ricinoleic acid, a main constituent of castor oil. A detergent was produced from transesterification followed by sulphonation of castor oil ...
