ABSTRACT
The study examined the energy consumption and economic growth in Nigeria, using the time frame 1986-2016 (30years). It was established in the study that before the introduction of appropriate energy consumption, energy sector funds...
Background
Energy lies at the heart of all human activity; it is the foundation of industrial civilisation. Modern life would cease to exist in the absence of energy. Historically, energy sources were in short supply since they were largely used for cooking and local ma...
Energy is seen as a primary source of income creation and an important role in economic growth. The importance of energy in economic growth is broadly acknowledged, and historical evidence confirms that there is a significant link between ener...
Background to the study
Social accounting is the branch of accounting that assists a business in being accountable to all of its stakeholders in all of its operations and activities. Social accounting practices are concerned with the gathering and disse...

ABSTRACT
There is a general believe today that the increased emission of green house gases especially carbon dioxides (CO2) which is believed to have increased by about 30% since the Industrial Revolution, are responsible for the overall w...
ABSTRACT
Energy efficiency is one of the most important challenges for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This is due to the fact that sensor nodes have limited energy capacity. Therefore, the energy of sensor nodes has to be efficiently managed to provide longer lifetime for the network....
ABSTRACT
This research aimed at the development of a modified real-time fault-tolerant task allocation scheme (mRFTAS) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), using active replication backup techniques. In WSNs, the sensor nodes are at risk of failure and malicious attacks (selective forwa...
ABSTRACT
Energy conservation in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a key area of research aimed at addressing the challenge of efficient energy utilization. This is due to the fact that the Sensor Nodes (SNs) have limited energy. The limited energy has to be utilized efficiently in orde...
ABSTRACT
Mobile Ad hoc network which is known as MANET is a network communication medium that is made up of mobile wireless node. The network operates as an infrastructure-less network that doesn’t require an existing network infrastructure such as routers, switches or mounted acc...
ABSTRACT
Renewable energy has given institutions and individuals the opportunity to generate and manage their own energy consumption without much interference from power utility companies. This dissertation focused on design and analysis of Grid – connected PV Renewable Solar ener...
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Wireless Ad hoc Networks are networks in which wireless nodes cooperate to establish network connectivity and perform routing functions in the absence of infrastructure using selforganization. Similarly, Mobile wireless Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are networks in wh...
ABSTRACT
This study shows how to monitor the movement of cattle using wireless sensor nodes powered by a renewable energy source capable of detecting location, and incorporated in it all the available mobile networks to ensure that information about cattle location gets to the base in r...
ABSTRACT
Mixed-use buildings are characterized by their live-work-play concept ensuring that most activities are achieved within a particular site. Despite their numerous benefits, they experience a wide range of problems including high energy consumption, it is therefore vital that ene...
ABSTRACT Climate change is having a tremendous effect on our fragile ecosystem where the acceleration of its effect is believed to have occurred as a result of human activities that release Greenhouse Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. In the built environment also, energy necessity of buildings ha...
ABSTRACT
The growing use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and related technology has led to the emergence of a more innovative workspaces. With changes in the manner in which people work, think and adopt the use of technology, new workspace models have arisen. As work...
ABSTRACT
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consist of micro-sensors capable of monitoring physical and environmental factors. These are often mainly made up of resource constrained sensor nodes and gateways. Networking these nodes presents several challenges because the devices have limite...

Renewable energy has given institutions and individuals the opportunity to generate and manage their own energy consumption without much interference from power utility companies. This dissertation focused on design and analysis of Grid – connected PV Renewable Solar ener...
ABSTRACT
Thermal management of data centers remains a challenge because of their everincreasing power densities and decreasing server footprints. Current lack of dynamic control over global provisioning and local distribution of cooling resources often result in wasteful overcooling. Th...
ABSTRACT
Power consumption is a key consideration in every Wireless Local Area Network Medium Access Control (WLAN MAC) algorithm design for wireless devices and extending battery life requires more efficient power management scheme considering that carrier sensing by WLAN modules, fals...
Statement of the Problem
Decreasing the energy consumption or reducing the energy wastages of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems is becoming increasingly important due to rising cost of fossil fuels and environmental concerns. Therefore, finding novel ways to reduce...
Statement of the problem
One of the major reasons for food shortage is the unavailability of adequate preservation facilities. Some of the food crops are seasonal, being readily available during some periods of the year and scare during other periods due to inefficient preservation. Pot...
ABSTRACT
The use of computer and its accessories in our daily activities, in spite of its usefulness have caused a lot of hazards to humans and the environment. Green computing aimed at reducing energy consumption and carbon emission, prevent wastage, cut cost and protect the environmen...
Abstract
Given energy security and climate change challenges occasioned by increased hydrocarbon consumption, and increased trade between Nigeria and Cameroon, a holistic study of commercial energy (petrol, diesel, kerosene) demand in both countries is undertaken. Our main objective is...
ABSTRACT
The study examines the impact of energy consumption on economic growth and environmental quality and also verifies the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC)hypothesis in Nigeria. The traditional production theory and Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory were use...
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Global focus on poverty reduction as a way of speeding growth and maintaining development sparked interest in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as a foundation for development planning in the majority of developing nations. The Millenni...
