This short paper in the inaugural issue of the International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering explains how professors at all of the world’s institutions can capitalize on an opportunity to assist students to learn engineering and science more effectively by offering them a chance to make concrete contributions to the optimization of appropriate technologies for sustainable development.
Respond of Concrete pond Raised Clarias Gariepinus Fed Diet Containing Different Inclusion Level of Cow Tripe Epithelial Waste AbstractThe study examined the effect of Cow Tripe Epithelial Waste (CTEW) on the growth performance, nutrient utilisation and survival of advanced fry Clara’s gariepinus raised in ten homestead tanks (3m x 1.5m x 0.006m) for ten weeks. Each tank was-stocked with 100 advanced fry with initial average weight of 0.68 +- 0.55g. The diets were isonitrogenous 40% crude p...
ABSTRACT The study sought to trace the history of set design in Ghana through the study of some selected productions of the Concert Party, the National Theatre and the Efua Theodora Sutherland Studio. The qualitative research design was employed for the study. Two sampling techniques were employed to gather data for the research; purposive sampling technique was used to select a total of 12 respondents for the study, and sequential sampling technique was used in selecting the documents for an...
There has been a deteriorating academic performance in Mathematics in the region. When children join class one from pre-school they usually have some basics about numbers. It is from this stage where teachers in Secondary one start introducing new concepts to the learners as well as introducing new symbols used in mathematics at that level. Children in lower Secondary are in concrete operational stage, where child canreason logically about concrete events and classify objects into differe...
Appropriate technologies able to be easily and economically constructed from readily available materials by local craftspeople have a central role in the alleviation of poverty in the developing world. However, research and development of these technologies are generally apportioned relatively modest support by the developed world’s institutions, in part because the operation of many of these appropriate technologies is dependent on relatively well-under-stood science accessible even to int...
ABSTRACT The design of proposed Modern Bus Terminal at Obalende employs the use of thin-shell concrete structures in order to provide maximum space use. The study adopts a combination of primary and secondary data which were obtained through review of relevant literature and case studies and also interview of stakeholders at the intended site. The obtained data were properly analyzed and infused into the proposed design for a properly functional bus terminal with proper circulation....
ABSTRACT Twenty-four weaner pigs were used in a study to evaluate the response of weaner and grower pigs to diets containing graded levels of toasted soybean hull (SBH).In experiment 1(growing phase), twenty-four male hybrid (large white x landrace) weaner pigs, about 6 weeks old, weighing 5.92-6.85kg were randomly divided into four groups of six pigs each using a completely randomized design (CRD). Each group was randomly assigned to one of the four diets (1, 2, 3 and 4) containing 0% (contr...

ABSTRACT Benign hyperplasia and Carcinoma of prostate are pro static disorders commonly found in aging sales. These disorders are reported to be less common amongst Nigerians, though there has been no concrete pathophysiological evidence to support this observation. The exact aetiology of these disorders has not been resolved, but some factors have been identified as being contributory to their development. Amongst these factors are androgenic hormonal control and the influence of some trace-...
ABSTRACT In this research project, the various nail was subjected to six environments so as to check the effect of the environments on corrosion of the nails. Two sets of nails were used; normal nail and concrete nail. Six of each type while the other not coated. The environments used are acidic solution, alkaline solution, salt solution, boiled water, air medium and lubricating oil medium, which served as a control medium. It was observed from the graphs of the weight of metal against time...

ABSTRACT This research work is carried out to determine the availability and the effective utilization of Chemistry laboratory equipment on students’ academic performance in secondary school. The study was guided by two objectives, two research questions and one hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. Survey research design was used in this study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample size of 120 students from three private schools within Maiduguri Met...
ABSTRACT This project is based on the results of candidates who sat for the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) conducted by the West Mrican Examinations Council (WAEC). The main objective of this project is to determine whether performance in SSSCE core subjects namely Core Mathematics, Integrated Science, English Language and Social Studies for the five-year period from 2001 to 2005 depended on sex. The data were obtained from the West African Examinations Council-for th...
ABSTRACT A solar-powered adsorption refrigerator using activated carbon1methanol.pair was designed and fabricated. The refrigerator has three major components: collector,condenser, and evaporator. A 3 mm thick flat glass was used as flat plate collector. The condenser was made of spirally 'coiled copper tube immersed in pool of stagnant water contained in a reinforced concrete tank. The evaporator was fabricated from standard ' 15.6, rnm diameter copper tubing. The activated carbon used as ad...
