Despite the advances in radiologic techniques, no criterion standard exists for the noninvasive imaging evaluation of the urinary collecting system, with each modality having its own set of pitfalls that preclude optimal visualization of the entirety of the urinary system. Excretory urography has been used in general to assess the integrity of the urinary tract status. Also renal scintigraphy has been used for a long time to measure the relative renal function; where different radiopharm...
This study was conducted at Al Nelain diagnostic center during the period from November 2016 to April 2017. The main objective of the study was to measureand calculate the amount of radioactivity excreted in breast milk after administration of 185 MBq of 99m TcO-4 to thyroid scan patients as well as estimation of the dose received by the baby from the ingestion of the milk. The study came out with many results including the average activity per 140ml of milk for 15 patients at 12 hours...

A number of uncompleted and abandoned building projects are attributable to overall bad projects management. Determination of accurate cost of building projects is a huge factor in successful project management. This work is to ensure that accurate cost is determined and accurate as much as possible. Artificial neural network was used in this work to generate a cost predicting model. Neural network is a human brain simulated system having similar characteristic with human brain. This study en...

It analyzed the uses of BIM in the construction industry, determined the stakeholders perception of the benefits, risk and benchmarks in the adoption of BIM in construction practice and process. It examined the extent of its interoperability in bringing together the different participants and processes of construction works f...
Abstract The problems of housing in Nigeria are enormous and complex, exhibiting apparent and marked regional differences. In most urban centres, the problem is not only restricted to quantity but also to the quality of available housing units and the environment. This study therefore evaluated the building performance of State Subsidized Housing Schemes in Ogun State and ascertained whether or not the public housing estates fulfil the initial design/goal of government and the needs of the u...
ABSTRACT Concrete is the most common construction material in the world today. It is used as a material in structural elements of most buildings of the world and most building failures including collapse are associated with failure of concrete either as produced or as assembled. The variations in strength of concrete is as a result of several factors that could be the varying quality of materials, the variation in the mix proportion and the varying production processes that include batching,...
ABSTRACT Competitiveness of indigenous construction firms plays a vital role in the economic development of any nation. The significance of competitiveness to economic development lies in the fact that it increases the level of profits earned by indigenous construction firms, thereby contributing to a nation‟s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, foreign construction firms dominate the Nigerian construction market on account of managerial and technological capabilities in which foreign c...
