Abstract The utilization of solar incubator would proffers solution to a major constraint of power inadequacy for commercial poultry egg incubation in Nigeria. A solar powered poultry egg incubator was developed and the main components included incubating chamber, control system and solar powered system. The developed solar incubator was 610 mm × 607 mm × 1649 mm in size with a capacity for 150 eggs. This study conducted performance evaluation on the solar powered poultry egg incuba...

Abstract This thesis presents the design and implementation of a signal level simulator supporting a wide variety of radar systems, and focusing on multistatic and netted radars. The simulator places few limits on the simulated system, and supports systems with arbitrary numbers of receivers, transmitters, and scatterers. Similarly, the simulator places no restrictions on the radar waveform to be simulated, and supports pulsed, continuous wave (CW) and carrier-free radar systems. A exible mod...
Introduction The thirst for knowledge has always led humans to seek education, and as such many countries of the world, including Nigeria, place a high premium on the education of their citizens. Adjudged the most populous country in Africa and the eighth most populous country in the world with a population of over 150million, Nigeria is located on the Atlantic coast in West Africa, bordered by Benin on the West, Niger and Chad on the North, and Cameroon on the East (Academic American Encycl...
ABSTRACT Modern power systems are operated under various constraints which are meant to ensure an appropriate delivery of service. Meanwhile power system faces imbalance in power generation and its consumption in which the higher the load consumption the lower the frequency of operation. The governor-turbine combination will then experience a devastating reduction in its frequency of operation due to disturbance that may lead to system collapse. Both governor and turbine are included in the ...
ABSTRACT In this project (A Multi-Wavelength View of M17 Massive Star-Forming Region), efforts were made to determine the distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) within the M17 region. We find that PAHs are destroyed over a short distance or edge of the HII region. This PAH destruction edge can be located easily using Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) band-ratio images. We try to find out the relative roles of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and...
ABSTRACT Computers are known for their wide range of uses especially in scientific and mathematical fields. However little or no thought has been given to designing a complete and through intelligence test on a computer system in out immediate environment. Although in advanced countries, where computerized games have been developed, computers have proved that they constitute of ways of indirectly testing intelligence.This system is designed in order to implement intelligence test on a co...
Abstract: Improving Available Transfer Capability is an important issue in the deregulated power systems. The Available Transfer Capability of a transmission network is the transfer capabilities of a transmission network for the transfer of power for further commercial activity, over and above already committed usage. It is a proven fact that Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System technology can control voltage magnitude, phase angle, and circuit reactance. Therefore, it is importa...
ABSTRACT The study focused on examining the relationship between internal control system and financial performance in the Bible Society of Uganda. Data was collected using self administered questionnaires and interviews where a sample of 12 Employees from different departments were used as respondents. The Study used exploratory Survey design and respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data was coded and entered in a computer and analyzed using frequencies and percentages to T...
ABSTRACT Greenhouse technology should be embraced as a way of minimizing food insecurity in Kenya. The insecurity is brought about by climate uncertainties. Greenhouses have attempted to solve this problem by enclosing crops in a climatically controlled environment. Each greenhouse has distinct parameters. Data on these parameters need to be collected at regular intervals. Depending on the type of crop, these parameters need to be controlled within the specified limits to achieve the maximum...

The recent development of small scale combined heat and power (CHP) systems has provided the opportunity for in-house power backup of residential-scale photovoltaic (PV) arrays. This paper investigates the potential of deploying a distributed network of PV CHP hybrid systems in order increase the PV penetration level in the U.S. The temporal distribution of solar flux, electrical and heating requirements for representative U.S. single family residences were analyzed and the results clearly sh...
ABSTRACT I present a web ERP system for higher learning institutions. It is called UNI-COL WEB ERP.This system is developed as a web application and also a mobile application for students’ portal that runs on android, windows and IOS operating systems. The system targets higher learning institutions, i.e universities and colleges. I have implemented the following modules/sub-systems: student portal, finance system, library system, i-voting system and m-voting system, HR system, employee por...
Abstract: Climate variability and change have serious direct and indirect consequences for crop production and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission in rainfed agriculture-based developing countries in general and in semi-arid environments like the Great Rift Valley (GRV) of Ethiopian particular. Agriculture is a sector that is vulnerable to the effects of climate change while it is contributing both as a sink and source to anthropogenic N2Oemission. Therefore, applying Climate Smart Crop Production ...
Abstract A Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is the most possible candidate for next generation mobile wireless communications. One impairment of LTE is an interference from neighboring cells, so called Inter-Cell Interference (ICI). In this thesis Fractional soft FFR technique has been introduced for better utilization of frequency spectrum. In addition, beamforming technique is considered to be the solution to improve the performance of wireless communication systems, this thesis propos...
