1. IMPACT OF RUNWAY CAPACITY ON FLIGHT EFFICIENCY AND DELAY
Abstract
Congestion and delay at the airport are used in measuring the performance indicator (PI) of an airport. One key determinant of the expected activities at a given aerodrome is the airfield component and characteristic in which the runway is of g...
2. DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A FIXED BED PYROLYSIS SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
A fixed bed pyrolysis system has been designed and constructed for obtaining liquid fuel from palm kernel shell. The major components of the system are: fixed bed reactor and condensate unit. The palm kernel shell in particle form was pyrolized in an externally heated 90mm diam...
3. EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE FLEXURAL AND SHEAR CAPACITIES OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS ENHANCED WITH CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER (CFRP) LAMINATES
ABSTRACT
In this research, experimental research was carried out to assess the flexural and shear capacities of RC beams strengthened with different amount of carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates at the tension face and U-strips. Twelve rectangular RC beams of cross-sectional dimen...
4. PHARMACOGNOSTIC AND ANTIULCER EVALUATION OF THE STEM BARK OF PROSOPIS AFRICANA (GUILL. & PERR.) TAUB. (MIMOSACEAE)
Abstract
Prosopis africana (Guill. & Perr.) Taub. (Mimosaceae) is the only known species of its genus found in Africa. Pharmacognostic standardization was carried out on the stem bark powder and its anatomical sections, to determine the micro-morphological characters, along with its...
5. EFFECT OF VERTICAL RECTANGULAR OPENINGS ON THE FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
ABSTRACT
Effect of vertical rectangular openings on the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beam is presented. Twelve reinforced concrete beams of dimension 200m x 230mm x 700mm with different sizes of rectangular openings, 25mm x 35mm, 50mm x 60mm and 75mm x 85mm which are placed...
6. INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING ELEMENTS IN A MUSEUM
ABSTRACT
Museums are seen by some as places where only researches are being carried out, some people do not know about their culture, historic times, artefacts or relics. It is important to get, gather, restore and update our cultural heritage, artefacts and other collection of artistic...
7. OPTIMUM DESIGN OF WATER INTAKE TOWER FOR AN EARTH DAM
ABSTRACT
Water intake towers are typically tall, hollow, reinforced concrete structures and form entrance to reservoir outlet works. It is observed that most dam intakes in Nigeria are not functional due to no way to monitor assets. In this work, the best type of tower was selected and...
8. COMPUTER SIMULATION OF HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOY
ABSTRACT
Temperature of aluminium alloy is simulated using MATLAB programming language for annealing, soaking to have uniformity of microstructure and quenching treatment processes. Workpiece selected for the study was aluminum alloy 6061-O, T1, T4 and T6 of different shapes: plate, cyl...
9. IMPACT OF CUISENAIRE-ROD STRATEGY ON REMEDIATING ERRORS IN ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS, IN LERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA KADUNA,NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the impact of Cuisenaire rods strategy on remediating errors in addition and subtraction of numbers among primary school pupils in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique using “balloting method” was used in selecting two co-e...
