ABSTRACT In making a choice of solar Photovoltaic or diesel generator system as an alternative for power generation, life cycle costs (LCC) analysis are considered to be potentially important to such a decision. It incorporates all costs arising from owning, operating, maintaining and ultimately disposing of a project. In this study, a software computer program is developed to determine life cycle cost of solar Photovoltaic and diesel generator systems in Nigeria. The software is developed th...

With the introduction of Western systems, such communities have also participated in the formalized knowledge system preserved and transmitted through formal institutions of learning such as ...
The majority of the street lighting systems in Nigeria are predominantly composed of inefficient lighting fixtures powered either by the grid or diesel generators. Due to the epileptic nature of the grid and the fluctuations in diesel fuel pump prices, these methods for powering street lights are neither reliable nor sustainable. Use of energy-efficient lamps and photovoltaic (PV) panels has the tendency to reduce energy consumption and emissions. This study therefore presents a techno-econom...

ABSTRACT With the development of the Internet in the 1990s there were high expectations for its widespread commercial use and for rapid growth in e-commerce. Early predictions were over-optimistic, and attention shifted to identifying various barriers to the widespread development of e-commerce. Specifically for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions the development and use of online payment systems were identified as important concerns. Nonetheless B2C e-commerce is currently growing at aro...
ABSTRACT In Ghana, Ghana Grid Company, GRIDCo has experienced huge power losses due to poor maintenance and management practices. For this reason persistent power outage has plunged the country‟s economy into a huge set back in the last four years. Power quality problems are common in most commercial, industrial and utility networks. The specific objectives of this thesis were to study the role of automation in improving transmission systems, evaluate maintenance performance in trans...
ABSTRACT: Information technology goes beyond keeping data safely, reducing data storage and eliminating data redundancy. It involves systems that make informed decision, systems that need less human inputs to produce results. But above all, it involves sharing this information with fellow colleagues at the district. In the political, economical and social perspectives, such as those in Mityana district, where many people, resources, schools, health facilities or other business transactions ma...

Online voter registration follows essentially the same process, but instead of filling out a paper application, the voter fills out a form via an Internet site, and that paperless form is submitted el...
Abstract All-Terrain vehicle as the name implies refers to a car that has been designed to handle a more extensive variety of terrains than most other cars. ATVs are used for several purposes which include recreational purposes and others ranging from military to jungle safaris and desert rides. ATVs are rated highly based on their ability to sustain irregularities of the terrain with ease. The central system involved in supplying the damping characteristics of the vehicles is the suspension ...
