Design, Construction and Performance Evaluation of a Solar Drying System for Crops
(2017-03-22)
This research presents the design, construction, and analysis of the performance of a mixed-mode solar dryer for crops. A mixed-mode solar dryer utilizes direct solar radiation from the sun as well as input heat ducted ...
Generic Animation Tool for Traffic Simulation
(2016-06-23)
Traffic simulation has become one of the most used approaches for traffic analysis in support of the design and evaluation of traffic systems. Although traffic flow models have been applied for almost a century to describe, ...
Phytoremediation of Crude Oil Contaminated Soil Using Cowpea and Indole-3-Acetic Acid as a Growth Hormone
(2017-03-22)
One of the unintended impacts of crude oil exploration is the pollution of agricultural land and aquatic resources when there is accidental oil spillage. The environmental effect of this has resulted in untold hardship to ...
Activated Carbon from Plant-Biomass Waste Materials as Electrodes for Supercapacitor Applications
(2016-06-20)
This work is aimed at studying activated carbons as supercapacitor electrode materials derived from plant biomass waste materials. The activated carbon raw materials are sourced from coconut shell, pine cone and rice husk ...
Adaptive Learning Framework
(2016-05-20)
Many Institutions offer on-line courses to people from all around the world. Learning Management Systems provides a convenient learning environment for on-line courses. Each learner has individual needs and characteristics ...
Structural and Mechanical Properties of Termite Soil as a Partial Replacement to Cement
(2016-03-22)
Materials selection is done regarding to the availability, cost and performance of the candidates. In buildings, cement is the material that is widely used, even though it is releases co2 (estimated about 7% of the worldwide ...
Effect of Sintering Time on Mechanical Properties of Porous Ti-6al-4v Implant
(2016-07-12)
Titanium alloy is popular in biomedical application owing to its low density, good biocompatibility (i.e. biological and chemical inertness) and excellent mechanical properties. Due to the high disparity between the implant ...
Group Mutual Exclusion in Opportunistic Network
(2016-06-23)
The Opportunistic network is an interesting development in the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) environment. It has no end-to-end connectivity among nodes. Unlike MANETs, the nodes in Opportunistic network are independent on ...
Performance of a Nigerian Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer as a Sustainable Building Material
(2017-12-17)
Existing data show that Portland cement material production contributes ~8% to the global CO2 emissions. This is detrimental to the environment and can lead to global warming. It is therefore pertinent to develop alternative ...
