ABSTRACT This Project describes the role of a database in improving performance of a commercial enterprise. The main purpose of the study will be to establish an appropriate database management system to help in facilitating and maintaining the growth of a company, The results of the study will inspire company CEO’s and database managers and assistants even in other areas to design better systems for successful integration of information while setting up the database management system. It ...
ABSTRACT This project aimed at computerizing a hotel system; a system to aid in the management and operation of the reception office. Automated systems which are not carefully designed basing on good security practices may lead to data loss, misplacement, inconsistencies and redundancies. Methods that were used to gather information about the current system include; interviews and observation. It gives a detailed review of the selected methods, instruments of data analysis and presentations t...
ABSRACT Hypertensive-patient monitoring usually requires the use of non-invasive sensors that are hardwired to bedside monitors. This set-up is cumbersome, forcing the patient to be confined to his hospital bed thereby not allowing him to move around freely within the hospital premises. Presently, in order to continuously track a patient's Blood Pressure (BP) remotely over a period of time, physicians hand over specialized devices to patients. Most of these devices are cuff-based that are wo...
In this research we studied the global warming by knowing the definition, and the causes. This research covers the Earth's atmosphere in details and the gases in each layer. Also the physical properties (pressure, thickness, temperature, speed of sound, density, mass), optical properties (scattering, absorption, emission, refractive index). Other aspects such as the Industrial Revolution and its role in the increase of greenhouse gases, the study covers United States of America, and Chi...
ABSTRACT Customer service is the most important aspect of every business that builds its processes on the basis of customers going through the queue before receiving any service from the organization. These businesses become ineffective and inefficient if the queues are not moving well or the queues are not fluid. This research was inspired by the customer service of MTN Sokoto branch. System Dynamics was used in order to solve the overcrowd problem of the organization. System Dynamics is a ...
Traditional engineering service learning (SL) projects can be classified as: 1) collaborations with a community group or non-profit organization to provide specific engineering around a community need, or 2) an internship-like experience with industry to address work requested by a client. The limitation of both traditional SL approaches is that they do not prepare students to implement unprescribed projects. In contrast, here students chose both the project and the partner for a self-directe...
INTRODUCTION This section briefly describes the main features of pumps and pumping systems. What are pumps and pumping systems? Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand and range from 25-50% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations (US DOE, 2004). Pumps have two main purposes: 1. Transfer of liquid from one place to another place (e.g. water from an underground aquifer into a water storage tank) 2. Circulate liquid around a system ...

Women’s unequal participation in farm organizations, restrictions on women’s ownership as well as control of resources and unjust legislation give female-headed households to face many problems that their male counterparts do not The problems that plague Nkwene female headed households farmers have been identified as issues related to the economic system, declining rural communities and environmental degradation. Therefore this study was design to examine the role played by female-headed ...
Objective of Study The study was motivated by the Ghana Government's proposal for an integrated crop improvement project for maize. The project seeks to promote the use of 'improved methods' of cultivating maize in selected centres of maize production in the country with the aim of increasing annual maize production by approximately 50,000 long tons over the next five years. It is hoped that the target would be achieved primarily through increasing yields on at least 100,000 acres of the appr...
Due to the negative environmental effects of fossil fuel combustion, there is a growing interest in both improved efficiency in energy management and a large-scale transition to renewable energy systems. Using both of these strategies, a large institutional-scale hybrid energy system is proposed here, which incorporates both solar photovoltaic energy conversion to supply renewable energy and cogeneration to improve efficiency. In this case, the photovoltaic reduces the run time for the cogene...
This study introduces the mechanical elements that are the main components in the dynamic modeling of mechanical systems. It discusses the electrical elements of voltage and current source, resistor, capacitor, inductor, and operational amplifier. We derive mathematical models for electrical systems. The transfer function, enables connecting the input to the output of a dynamic system into the Laplace domain for single-input, single output, multiple-input and multiple output systems. It ...
Abstract Solid waste alludes to all materials that are not prime items, for which the individual creating the material has no further use in terms of his or her own motivations for generation and utilization. In developing countries, Zimbabwe included, municipal authorities rely on poor methods and techniques in waste collection administration which are subjective and tend to increase operational costs of solid waste collection activities. Instead of maintaining vibrant information management...
Abstract: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are one of the technologies that many organisations, including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), have adopted. However, most of commercial ERP packages are designed for large-scaled companies. More complex nature of business processes in large companies makes it difficult for SMEs to adopt commercial ERP packages. The high costs of ERP system implementation mean that SMEs need to seek for alternative solutions which are less expensive....
Abstract The study will look at how Donald Trump is presented in Zimbabwe‘s public media which is The Herald newspaper. The Herald is well known to be an ideological state apparatus for the ruling government. This is so because President Mugabe‘s government created the state-controlled Zimbabwe Mass Media Trust (ZMMT), a watchdog that eventually took overall ownership of The Herald and its sister papers (Nyahunzvi 2001). In Zimbabwe the media is much more polarized on political lines. Whe...
