Abstract: There is tremendous growth of data generated from different industries, i.e., health, agriculture, engineering, etc. Consequently, there is demand for more processing power. Compared to computer processing units, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) are rapidly emerging as a promising solution to achieving high performance and energy efficiency in various computing domains. Multiple forms of parallelism and complexity in memory access have posed a challenge in developin...
Abstract In this work the optical properties of two group of samples were studied. In the first group Zinc Oxide was doped by ( Al ,Cd, Co, Li and Mg ). In the second group Titanium Oxide was doped by ( Al ,Cd, Co, Li and Mg ) also . The optical characteristics where investigated by using UV spectrophotometer and some computer programmers . The efficiency of the solar formed from this samples using ITO were found using light current and voltage .The study shows that the absorption peaks of t...
ABSTRACT Energy and exergy analysis of solar air heater with phase change material energy storage is considered in this research work. Energy and exergy models for component systems like flat plate solar collector and phase change material in one-dimensional heat conduction in a cylindrical pipe, for storing periods were obtained. Exergy analysis, which is based on the second law of thermodynamics, and energy analysis, which is based on first law, was applied to improve system efficiency. M...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this project was to develop a package for the Computerization of patient Billing system for the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital Bon10 State. The Project also seek to find the opinion of Staff on whether Computerisation of patient Billing system preferred to the manual system. Today Computer are used in every aspect of life. In fact it is difficult to think of anything that is not helped in one way or the other by computers. Computers arc use in Government Sc...

Integration of Information, Communication and Technologies (ICT) in the teaching of the technical courses plays a great role in facilitating students’ acquisition of knowledge, skills and values. This study aimed at investigating the integration of ICT in the instruction of welding and at vocational training centers in Mandera County. The study was guided by the following objectives: to establish availability of ICT resources for instruction of welding and fabrication, to establish teacher�...
ABSTRACT Heat transfer plays a great role in engineering processes, blowing of fluids is used in designing thrusters and prevention of corrosion. Suction is used in film cooling and coating of wires in chemical engineering. A lot of research has based on thermal reduction in processing streams and forgetting the machine efficiency. The study theoretically investigates the effect of hall current on a steady magneto convection and radiative heat transfer over a porous plate. This work is motiv...
ABSTRACT Acquiring physics knowledge is the assurance of having a technologically competent workforce in science, technology and engineering especially in this technological era and in line with fulfillment of Vision 2030. However, research shows that Physics is one of the subjects that have experienced poor performance and hence low enrolment at KCSE level in Kenya. This is because students perceive it as being difficult and uninteresting due to its abstract nature. Further, research shows ...
The text is divided into two broad sections. Section 1 deals with Networks and Information processes, while Section 2 is dedicated to chapters on Information Communication and Engineering. The first section consists of chapters one (1) through eight (8), with chapter one serving as an introductory piece. The second section is made up of the remaining eleven chapters from chapter nine to nineteen. Most of the chapters in this second part are in the field of communications with two in the area ...
ABSTRACT A large percentage of Nigerian educational institutions use manual and paper- based system for collecting, processing, and disseminating information. This approach results in inefficient utilization of resources, low productivity and stunted growth of the educational sector. In this study the in-house users- development approach has been used to develop a computer based Educational lnformation Management System (8MS) for a typical University academic department. The existing work Sy...
Abstract- This study utilized fractal disk dimension characterization to investigate the system response of a nonlinear, harmonically driven pendulum of mass, m (or weight. W) and length I over a well-defined parameter plane of excitation amplitude versus damping factor. The system response was simulated at three drive ffequencies (symbol,*) of 1/3, 2/3 and 313. A Runge-Kutta fourth order algorithm, coded in FORTRAN programming language was used to simulate the System response over a 101 by ...
ABSTRACT Terrorism, with explosions both in and outside buildings, has become a significant problem in the world. There are already several houses of unreinforced masonry, some of which are historical. But under blast loading they do not function well. Retrofitting methods have been developed to protect masonry buildings. Some research work has been carried out in recent years to study the impact of retrofitted URM walls; these experiments require usually significant time and funds. Also, wit...
ABSTRACT Ghana, as most other countries, has a considerable variation in its topography. In an attempt to build cheaper, but yet the safe structures (i.e., roads, apartments, etc.), we are most often times faced with building on hill-sides and in valleys. This then calls for the need to correctly assess the stability of any adjacent slopes. In recent times, due to the extensive need for stability analysis in engineering practice, slope stability analysis programs have been developed. It is no...
ABSTRACT Computational algorithm and various computer aided methods are now routinely being used in the design of numerous kinds of engineering systems, subsystems and components.
ABSTRACT Many standard forms of contracts for building and civil engineering contracts require contractors to submit construction programmes upon the award of contracts. However, such programmes are often not of the required quality and subsequent programmes developed as work progresses are also not sufficiently rigorous to facilitate control measures to be put in place. The aim of the present study was to examine the application of planning techniques in construction project deliver...
