3d Seismic Interpretation and Petro physical Evaluation of Stroh field Onshore Niger Delta

ABSTRACT Petrophysical evaluation and 3D seismic interpretation were carried out on the hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs of Stroh field with the aim of maximizing the benefits of petrophysical evaluation and structural interpretation in the production and development of hydrocarbon in the reservoir of the ‘Stroh field’ in Niger Delta. Eight hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs – sands ST1, ST3, ST6, ST7, ST8, ST11, ST13 and ST14 were identified from well logs and correlated across six Stroh wel...

Development of a Web-Based Tax Assessment System

ABSTRACT The aim of this project was to develop a web-based system that will contain all the information about the private sector assets for tax assessment. The objective was to register and assess all the assets of the entire private sectors establishment in a particular area for tax payment. These assets include: land, heavy equipment, light equipment, motor/vehicle, residential building, commercial building, and industrial building etc. The system will carry out tax assessment of the asset...

Mathematical Modelling of Groundwater Flow System of a Water Table Aquifer in Nsukka Area, Southeastern Nigeria

ABSTRACT Two main geological formations outcrop in the area which is within latitudes 6"45'N-7"00tN and longitudes 7O15'E - 70301E, being part of the Anambra basin of southeast Nigeria. These are the Ajalli Sandstone that is of Middle Maastrichtian age covering most of the area and the Nsukka Formation of Upper Maastrichtian age that is less prominent and overlies the Ajalli Sandstone. These two formations belong to the same hydrostratigraphic unit and give rise to thick and extensive water t...

Seven-Factor Central Composite Design Robust to a Pair of Missing Observations

ABSTRACT In this work, the seven-factor central composite design () is studied in respect of a pair of missing values using the minimax loss criterion. It was observed empirically that seven-factor central composite design with k = 7 , = 128 f n , = 14 a n , = 3 c n and n = 145 is robust at a = 2.6 and variance robust at a = 2.45. We also observed that the loss effect of missing a pair of factorial points is a decreasing function of increasing a , while the loss effect of a pair of axial poin...

Oil and Gas Exploitation and Production in Nigeria. Recent Development and Challenges Ahead.

For many years to. come, the oil and gas industry in Nigeria will continue to play a mostimportant role in the economy of the country. The prospects for meeting up with an oil reserve base target of 50 billion barrels by the year 2010 as set in the country's Vision 2010 are quite good. The country's deep offshore from all indications will continue to be a beehive of activities for many years to come. However, a lot of the anticipated success will depend in real terms on our abi'lity to cope s...

Total Alkaloids, Total Tannins Content and Antiulcer Assay of Four Selected Medicinal Plants.

ABSTRACT The total alkaloid, tannins contents and antiulcer activity of the extracts from four selected medicinal plants were investigated. The total alkaloids content (TAC) was evaluated according to the chloride colometric method in which atropine was used as standard. While the total tannins content (TTC) was also determined using Folin Ciocalteau assay in which gallic acid was used as a standard. The antiulcer activity of the extracts was investigated using the ethanol induced model in wi...

Fuzzy Cognitive Map-Based Conflict Control Model

ABSTRACT The research work is concerned with Fuzzy Cognitive Maps-based Conflict control Model. The objective of the work was to develop Conflict control model using Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) and Non-liner Hebbian Learning (NHL) that will allows the users (or policy makers) to optimize the environmental factors which are major causative factors of the Tiv-Fulani in other to achieve peace. To achieve the objective, basic factors understood to be influential in Tiv-Fulani conflict were used to ...

Bifurcation and Stability of Steady Solutions of Evolution Equations

ABSTRACT We considered the evolutional problems in two-dimensional autonomous system. We showed that the bifurcating steady solutions are obtained from the points of intersection of the two conic sections and we used the implicit function theorem to justify their existence, and also we applied the Lyapunov theorem to establish their stability.

An Investigation of Subsurface Structures for Construction Purpose in Makurdi, Using Electrical Resistivity Survey

ABSTRACT An electrical resistivity survey was carried out on site proposed for the construction of state secretariat office complex in Makurdi, Benue state, using vertical electrical sounding (VES) with Shlumberger electrode configuration. The soundings, which comprised of fifteen VES was done at three different locations to ascertain the suitability of the subsurface formations at the site for construction and to determine a suitable depth to which the foundation of the proposed buildings sh...

Immunoglobulin Levels in HIV Patients with Reference to Abo Blood Group

ABSTRACT This study aims at determining the effect of the ABO blood groups on the level of immunoglobulin classes in patients infected with HIV-1. One hundred and fifty three (153) confirmed HIV-1 positive subjects were enrolled in the study. These comprise of 62 (40.5%) males and 91 (59.5%) females. Sex and age-matched HIV-negative control were also recruited. The subjects comprise of adults aged 18 - 55 years with 36 years as the mean age. The study was conducted at the CDC-UNTH HIV clinic ...

Synthesis and Characterisation of Alkylated Isocyanate Derivatives of [Pt2(µ-S)2(Pph3)4]

ABSTRACT The highly nucleophilic bridging sulfide centers in bis(μ-sulfido)tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) diplatinum(II), [Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4] enables the incorporation of any organic functionality (R) through facile monoalkylation to form cationic complex [Pt2(µ-S)(µ-SR)(PPh3)4] + . The organic electrophiles; N,N’-(2-dichloroethyl) piperazine-4-carboxi-amine, N-(2-chloroethyl) morpholine4-carboxi-amine, and N-(2-chloroethyl)-1-methylpiperazine-4-carboxi-amine derived from isocyanate were s...

Integer Programming approach to Staff Scheduling of Resource Persons to a Polytechnic: A case study of NBTE’s Accreditation team

Abstract In this work,we applied an Integer Programmingapproach to schedulingof resource persons on National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) accreditation team to a Polytechnic. The level of compliance of the institution to national minimum benchmark for academic standards with respect tostaff mix was deduced.The use of Integer Programming approach and Lingo software in solving the model developed, resulted in considerable drop in accreditation cost from four million, seven hundred and f...

Characterization of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia Coli and Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Escherichia Coli Isolated from Chickens in Enugu State, Nigeria.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to characterize avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from chicken in Enugu State, Nigeria. Dead and moribund chickens collected from twenty four farms in 6 LGAs of the state and organ samples from chicken submitted to our departmental necropsy unit were used for the study. A total of 182 samples comprising of 100 broiler and 82 layers diagnosed of colibacillosis were ...

Virtual University Administration (Personnel Management)

ABSTRACT Personnel department is service-oriented towards staff and entails day-to-day activities of units some of whose functions overlap and involves recruitment of staff, retirement of staff, termination of appointment, processing of request for sabbatical leave, staff training and development, pension funds administration, health management organization, etc., and will be easier, faster and secure adopting a virtual approach rather than its manual counterpart. This project work will estab...
