ABSTRACT Prompted by previous findings of research on gender issues in different schools of architecture and based on the indicated lack of knowledge of the lives of women in developing nations, this thesis investigated gender issues in learning architecture. The in-depth study required for such a study prompted a study of students in Private universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. In this study, gender characteristics of the students, their learning patterns, experiences, performance and...
Abstract This work aims and explaining scientifically that Non- destructive testing plays an important role in the quality control of a product. It is used during all the stages of manufacturing of the products. It decreases the cost of the product by reducing scrap and conserving materials, labor and energy. NDT is used for detecting the leakage in pipelines for oil and natural gas, oil tankers, aero planes, aero space, measuring the thickness of steel and alloys. The methods of NDT r...

The original tectonic setting of the mafic and ultramafic rocks of the megatectonic line of Darno are investigated using evidence provided by their major elements and trace element contents,
One of the main goals of this study is to provide a comfortable study environment. The quest for comfortable useable and livable space is the reason for the creation of a new field in science called “Thermal Comfort”. The global problems of Architectural models of Hot and Dry tropical environment can best be addressed by the introduction of passive control systems for thermal comfort. The question becomes: how much comfort up to date could do this scientific responsibility? This resear...
ABSTRACT A study was carried out in Bahi wetlands covering Bahi and part of Manyoni Districts to assess the anthropogenic activities that have potential impacts on flora and fauna. The study was carried out in selected four villages of Bahi District, namely, (1) Nagulo Bahi, (2) Bahi sokoni, (3) Uhelela, and (4) Mkakatika, and Igose for Manyoni District. The study was carried out based on the specific objectives: (1) to identify anthropogenic activities and their potential impacts on flora a...
ABSTRACT This work aimed to study the effects of crude oil variation on the performance of a crude distillation unit (CDU). CDUs are generally designed for specific type of crude oil. However, the crude oil varies with time as a natural result of continuous reservoir depletion. The CDU of Khartoum refinery was taken as a case study. Data covering the period 2002 to 2012 was collected. The collected data include crude oil assay, feed and products flow rate, and CDU design and operation data. ...
ABSTRACT The study addressed the gap in research on heuristics in valuation which has hitherto been confined to only anchoring and adjustment heuristics at the neglect of the other three major types of heuristics, namely availability, representative and positivity heuristics. The aim of this work was accordingly to investigate the nature and conduct of all four types of heuristics amongst Nigerian valuers with a view to ascertaining possible effects on valuation accuracy. The specific object...
ABSTRACT In the face of deteriorating quality of housing environment in urban areas in developing countries, including Nigeria, the need for strategies that can help reverse this trend cannot be overemphasised. It is in search for such strategies to improve the quality of residential environment that the assessment of housing quality in mass housing estates has continued to engage the attention of scholars and researchers within and outside Nigeria. However, there has been very little attemp...
Abstract Despite the essential role of housing as a basic need, an adequate supply of this commodity has been observed to be lacking in virtually all societies throughout history. This study investigated the knowledge and user-acceptability of Compressed Stabilized Laterite Bricks (CSLBs) as an alternative building material for affordable housing in selected states of southwest Nigeria. The research investigated the impact of knowledge, income level, education level and aspiration for s...
A school is an educational institution, which is an organization founded and united for a specific purpose of passing on education to people of particular ages, qualifications and other categories. Such institutions include pre-schools; nursery, elementary and secondary schools; and further or higher educational institutions like universities, colleges and trade schools or vocational colleges (Wordnet, n.d.). The different forms of education given to students of educational institutions inclu...
ABSTRACT The concerns for sustainability in architectural education have become the subjects of global discussion which has prompted the stakeholders into researches, debates, negotiations, declarations and policy formulation in Nigeria and other parts of the world. The curriculum of architectural design studio has been based on design studio model which focuses on “learning by doing”. In the course of advancement for the best practices, some revolutionary practices evolved over time as ...
ABSTRACT Transportation systems. and the ro utes .they use have greatl ~ influenced both how and where people live. Rel iab le transportation allows a population to expand throughout a country 's territory and to live comfortably in remote areas far from factories and farms. Transport in one form or another is a basic and essential part of the daily rhy thm of life . At different stages of development, however, and in different sets of circumstances, the nature of the demand for tran sport i...
An experiment was undertaken in NM-AIST farms in Arusha Tanzania from January to July 2017 to assess the potential of pesticidal plants on supporting the beneficial insects, controlling pests’ and influencing bean growth and yield. Six treatments were evaluated. This included: bean plots imposed close to the following field margin pesticidal plants: 1) Tephrosia vogelii, 2) Lantana camara, 3) Tithonia diversifolia and 4) Lantana trifolia 5) positive control treatments sprayed with synt...
Abstract We find two new classes of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations. The matter distribution satisfies a linear equation of state consistent with quark matter. The field equations are integrated by specifying forms for the measure of anisotropy and a gravitational potential which are physically reasonable. The first class has a constant potential and is regular in the stellar interior. It contains the familiar Einstein model as a limiting case and we can generate ...
