In the Nigerian Bottling Company, Production planning has a fundamental role to play. In this study, the particular scenario considered concerns the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) with many production facilities and multi-products production systems. The Products are being distributed to a number of depots at which the demand for each product is k... Continue Reading
This research work presents the development of an improved ergodic capacity of underlay Cognitive Radio (CR) with imperfect Channel State Information(CSI). An underlay CR network under a Peak Interference Power (PIP) constraint imposed by a Primary User (PU) was considered .A closed former godic capacity expression of the Secondary User (SU)under P...

The use of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in critical applications has been considered a solution in space and avionics domain due to its flexibility in achieving multiple requirements such as re-programmability and good performance. However, SRAM-based FPGAs are susceptible to radiation induced Single... Continue Reading
Rice husk, a potential source of activated carbon, is locally available in Nigeria but underutilized thereby constituting solid waste menace in the environment. Incidentally, large volume of wastewater containing high concentrations of toxic contaminants such as phenol and other contaminants are continuously being generated as a result of increased...

Grey water is the left over water from baths, showers, hand basin and washing machine; in some cases water from the kitchen sink. The use of some synthetic chemical reagents in the treatment of grey water has been reported to be cancerogenic. The present study is an investigation into the possibility of using environmental friendly substances like,... Continue Reading
Conventional flexible pavement road surfacings are failing due to increasing automobile traffic and heavy axle loading. In order to overcome the challenge, researchers and road authorities have used various materials as modifiers or reinforcements to improve on the properties. This research presents the rheological properties of High Density Polypr... Continue Reading
There is a defined level of ionizing radiation (effective dose of 50mSv in any single year) that radiation workers are allowed to be exposed to, according to the International Committee on Radiation Protection (I.C.R.P) proposal which is duly adopted by International Atomic Energy Agency. Gas detectors are commonly used for radiation monitoring bec... Continue Reading
Reliability of power equipment in Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited (ASCL), Ajaokuta, Kogi State is as important as the company as a whole. The study presents the reliability analysis of critical Power Equipment in Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited (ASCL), using one of the distribution substation, 7DS (Engineering Shops & Auxiliaries including Housing Es...

An experiment was conducted to determine the optimum irrigation schedules for tomato production under fadama conditions in Guinea Savannah region. The experiment consisted of five (5) levels of soil moisture replacement (100%, 80%, 60%, 50% and 40%) and three (3) levels of irrigation interval (3 days, 5 days and 7 days). The treatments were replica... Continue Reading
The research is aimed at the development of a multivariable based high-order fuzzy time series (FTS) forecast model that will be applied for forecasting handover success rate (mobility management) in the Lagos zone of Airtel Nigeria as a case study. Multivariable FTS is based on classifying data as primary (major) and secondary (minor) as against t... Continue Reading
The Existence of quarries near residential areas is now becoming inevitable. In order to protect building Structures against quarry operations hazards, there is need to quantify response of these structures to hazards. One of such hazards is the dynonic loads emitted and transmitted through the soil and air media due to blasting of the rock for its... Continue Reading
In this study, extracts from Ocimumgratissimum(O.G) and Hyptissuaveolens(H.S) leaves were subjected to the following analyses: physicochemical and phytochemical analyses. The medium carbon steel samples were subjected to corrosion inhibition test using gravimetric method, mechanical tests (hardness, tensile, and impact) and surface morphology evalu... Continue Reading
World over, there has been an increasing research into the field of Geographic Information System (GIS) with particular emphasis on addressing myriads of day to day issues with the application. One of such area that has received wide attention is Transportation Planning. This therefore underscores the urgency and appropriateness of this research. T... Continue Reading
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 diameter and 360mm high fixed bed reactor. The reactor is heated by means of... Continue Reading
This research work presents development of Firefly algorithm (FA) and application of voltage stability index (VSI) for optimal planning of Distribution Generation (DG) in an unbalanced threephase distribution network. The VSI was used to find the DG location while the FA was used for the DG sizing. The developed method was implemented on standard I... Continue Reading
