ABSTRACT Every organisation tries to operate in a dynamic environment; as a result, no organisation intends to stay the same. Thus the organisation’s survival depends on how fast and well they react and respond to change. The changes are expected to come from both business and technological perspectives. Change is implored and implemented through different approaches, such as Enterprise Architecture (EA). Organisations adopt EA as a way to map and describe organisational structure, business...

ABSTRACT This project addresses the effects of increase in fines contents on the geotechnical properties of sandy soils and the roles the fines play in slope instability in Nsukka, Enugu state in Nigeria. Field investigation revealed that the major landslides and gully erosion sites in south eastern Nigeria are localized within areas where these sandy soils are present. Geotechnical investigation of these sandy soils was carried out to assess their importance in the numerous geohazards in the...
ABSTRACT This work suggests an exact and systematic model identification approach which is entirely new and addresses most of the challenges of existing methods. We developed quadratic discriminant functions for various orders of autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models. An Algorithm that is to be used alongside our functions was also developed. In achieving this, three hundred sets of time series data were simulated for the development of our functions. Another twenty five sets of simulat...

Abstract Rhizosphere studies of two local green vegetables, Celpsia argentea Linn and Hibiscus esculentus. Linn (new name Abelmoschus esculentus) were studied from vegetative stage to senescence. The viable seeds of both vegetables were collected and planted on garden beds made from sandy loam soil. Samples were collected at two-week intervals at 9.00 hrs in the the morning. Morphologically, A. esculentus (okra) had 3 leaves with more dense rooting system at 2 weeks than C.argentea (solo) wit...
