Human resources management therefore occupy a critical position in the area of facilitating positive changes towards effective performance. Because of this, ...
ABSTRACT The traditional method, De Saint-Venant theory which was used in the previous analysis of thin-walled structures assumed free warping of all thin-walled structures, which is very rare in engineering. In this research work, Vlasov’s torsion theory which incorporates restraint warping was employed in the analysis of box culvert. The incorporation of restraint warping by Vlasov made the equation for computing angle of twist extremely rigorous as compared to Saint Venant’s equati...
Abstract This is a case-control study, conducted to determine the effect of cigarettes smoking on urea, creatinine and uric acid levels in Sudanese male cigarette smokers in a period from March to May 2015. Eighty samples were collected from cigarette smokers without diseases that may affect levels of urea, creatinine and uric acid. And fifty nonsmokers people as control were informed about study and informed consent for participation was obtained. 2.5 ml of venous blood was collected ...
INTRODUCTION The rapid growth in technology have compelled man-kind to look inward finding alternative means of accomplishing most his strenuous task. This discovery in technology showed that the capabilities of a computer, an electronic digital device has the ability to accept, process, store and output data and information when needed with maximum speed and accuracy.The recognition of distribution information system as a major management function occurred with the rapid introduction of com...
ABSTRACT Debugging is a necessary process in almost any new software or hardware development process, whether a commercial product or an enterprise or personal application program. For complex products, debugging is done as the result of the unit test for the smallest unit of a system, again at component test when parts are brought together, again at system test when the product is used with other existing products, and again during customer beta test, when users try the product out in a real...
ABSTRACT The impact of word processing on the performance of modern secretaries cannot be over emphasized. The number of electronic machines in use in the office have risen so quickly particularly with regards to word processor and computers. It is the purpose on this project to study the performance of the secretary. From the data collected, is revealed that word processing act as a check on in-efficiency and profits are boosted when the word processes. System are efficiently used. It would...

Objectives of the study were to: establish the availability of instructional media used in tea...
ABSTRACT This research presents a flexible design model and robust algorithm for simulation of a crude oil plant which consists of a main column with several side strippers and pumparounds. The model is developed in commercial software HYSYS, Pro/II and Aspen Plus, in order to evaluate the performance of the simulation of these models on personal computers. The development of the mathematical model of the equipments of the unit is based on the relations that are presented in the equilibri...
