Construction industry in Nigeria had been a major source of employment for 70% of labour in the country, thus it controls the capital flow, as well as labour resources, which has cost implications. Adequate management of these resources is considered an important aspect of project works; so also if the resources are adequately harnessed, issues that pertain to cost overrun would not arise which could result to variations and claims. The growing need for construction of all types coupled with ...
ABSTRACT Sex determination of Nigerian indigenous frizzle feathered and naked neck chicks has been a difficult task especially due to the monomorphism and high variation in the feather colour of this indigenous chickens using the feather sexing method. Thus, the vent sexing method is cheap and easy to carry out depending on the level of expertise and the molecular sexing technique was developed from recent stu...
Apple (Malus domestica) is a tree and its pomaceous fruit, of species Mauls domestic a Borkhin therose family Rosaceae, is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. The main objective of this reviewis to review postharvest handling of apple fruit with the following Specific objectives: to review preharvest factors that affect postharvest quality of apple fruit and review postharvest factors that affectquality of apple fruits. The factor that causes postharvest losses of apple fruits are ...
Abstract: The research aims at defining and analyzing an energy solution that incorporates renewable energy, thereby giving rise to improving energy security and providing grid stability for the grid networks located in urban residential areas. The urbanization growth in Botswana coincides with the increase in electricity consumption. The electricity load demand in the country outlasts the local supply and thereby the need for importing electricity from the Southern Africa Power Pool (S...
ABSTRACT The study is focused on Inventory Management and Profitability. This is based on three main objectives which include, to establish the relationship between inventory Management and profitability in organizations, to establish the different tools of Inventory Management and lastly to establish the control measures or systems used in Inventory Management. There is also a detailed discussion of the related literature to the topic under evaluation of which is cited by different researc...
INTRODUCTION 1.1Background of the study In recent times, many Nigerians are living witnesses to the spate of failures, fraud and distress in the banking industry. On the other hand, it is not far from the truth to staff that some banks in the country have been able to forge ahead and keep their head above waters inspite of the economic predicament planging the nation. Studies have shown that the success ad failures of most modern business organisation (especially in Nigeria) hinges on the a...

Abstract: New distributions namely, Lindley-Weibull Power Series (LWPS) class of distributions and the special case called Lindley-Weibull logarithmic (LWL) distribution, a new gamma generalized Lindley log-logistic (GELLLoG) distribution, Marshall-Olkin Lindley log-logistic (MOLLLoG) distribution and half logistic log-logistic Weibull (HLLLoGW) distribution and their sub-models are presented. Structural properties including hazard and reverse hazard functions, quantile function, moments, co...
The main aim and objective of this project is to design and build and arc welding machine that operates on 36vdc at variable frequency which of benefit to urban area. This reduces the weight and size of the transformer use for welding. To have an arc welding machine that is more efficient which produce neat welding. INTRODUCTION Welding is a way of heating pieces of metal using electricity or a flame so that they melt and stick together. It can simply be defined as the process of joining two...
The topic of this research work is inventory control as an effective tool for cost control in an organization using Cadbury Nigeria plc as a case study. Inventory control can be defined as the implementation of management’s inventory policies in a manner that assures that the goal of inventory management is met. The management of various companies is faced with the problem of at what level inventory should be held in order to have a healthy operation that is optimal stock level that will mi...
ABSTRACTOne of the main objectives of the government is to control the rate of inflationary pressure in the economy. The government employs a deliberate manipulation of cost and availability of credit and money to achieve this economic objective. The Central bank of Nigeria being the regulatory body combines measures designed to regulate the value, supply and cost of money into economic activities. This is what we call monetary policy (CBN Brief 1996/03). It is against this background that th...
INTRODUCTION Good supplier can be referred to as a tangible asset to manufacturers. It would not be possible to operate without supplier; this can be viewed for the aspect of division of labour or batch production process whereby the successful completion of one process depends on another. Therefore, I supplier fails to deliver materials especially raw materials at the right time of the operation is bound to paralyze. Sourcing by definition is a management effort which is aimed at tie locatio...
The study and practice of management in Nigeria has been viewed to be based totally on the western platform to the extent that those theories, philosophies and principles that are successful when applied in the western world have failed to yield the desired result when applied to the Nigerian setting. It is on this background that the authors reviewed some of the management theories, philosophies and principles that were operational in the Nigerian environment even before the British came to ...
ABSTRACT: In this study, the synthesis of crystalline dodecylguanidine free base and its spectroscopic characterization in nonpolar environments are described. IR as well as 1 H and 15N NMR spectra of the free base dissolved in aprotic solvents are substantially different from the previously reported spectra of arginine, or other monoalkylguanidinium compounds, at high hydroxide concentrations. The current results provide improved modelling for the spectroscopic signals that would be expecte...
Abstract Synthetic biology is the engineering of biology; it is the evaluation and design of biological systems in a rational and systematic manner. It blurs the lines between various science and engineering disciplines due its numerous applications, with one of the most significant being the use of biosensors in environmental remediation. Biosensors substitute engineered microorganisms as traditional sensors and transducers. In recent years, the use of E. coli as the primary micro-organism i...
