This paper is an overview of criteria needed for the deployment of CCS technology. This to avoid unnecessary leakage in the storage mechanisms. For a CCS to be successful the criteria must be examined and the site is clear for the technology. This paper give an insight into the basic criteria for the site which will be used for for storage of co2

SYNOPOSIS Landed properties ( houses ) have been observed, undergoing changes in their design shapes and uses, this changes in use as a result of alteration being made could also be know as redevelopment, that is the restructuring of the building to suite the uses which they were designated. This dissertation in the pros of redevelopment in an urban centre, which is ilorin metropolis. Further more, it examines the causes of redevelopment and analysis its effect on re-development properties ...
Comprehensive Logical framework of project on Capacity Building for youth on waste management
2.2 Context: The World Bank 2012 Urban Development Series publication stated that waste generation is approximately 62 million tons a year with each person generating an average of 0.65 kg/day. By 2025, the report projected that urban waste generation in sub Saharan Africa will be 161.27 million tons annually. Going by this report and Nigeria’s population, the country generates 43.2 million tons of waste annually and by 2025 with a population of 233.5 million (according to population pyrami...
It is well established that the forces between nucleons are transmitted by mesons. According to the meson theory, the quantitative explanation of the nuclear forces was extremely tentative and incomplete. But this theory presents a valuable point of view. It is fairly certain now that the nucleons within nuclear matter are in a state made rather different from their free condition by the proximity of other nucleons .Charge independence of nuclear forces demand the existence of neutral meson a...
