Comparison of Minimum and Maximum Permissible Velocity of Flow with Respect to Advantage of Roughness
Dr. Birendra Kumar Singh – March 2019 Page No.: 01-06
The comparison of minimum permissible velocity and maximum permissible velocity is done with respect to mean depth of flow. We find that the minimum permissible velocity of flow or non silting velocity is more advantageous as compared to maximum permissible velocity of flow or non erodible velocity of flow from mean depth of flow point of view. Also, we get more conveyance with respect to minimum permissible velocity. Hence, minimum permissible velocity of flow or non silting velocity is more advantageous as compared to maximum permissible velocity or non erodible velocity from advantage of roughness point of view.

Impact of Climate Change and Hydropower Development on the Community Livelihoods in the Sondu Miriu River Basin
Willis Owino Ochieng, Christopher Oludhe, Simeon Dulo – March 2019 – Page No.: 13-20
Climate change is the expected outcome of increases in atmospheric concentrations of “greenhouse” gases resulting from human activities. Energy has been identified as one of those sectors that contribute more towards GHGs emissions while renewable energy technologies have the potential to mitigate GHGs emissions. Among all the renewable energy technologies being utilised, hydropower stands out to be the most stable and proven technology over time compared to the others. Despite hydropower having the potential to mitigate climate change impacts and support some adaptation strategies, it is also likely to be impacted on by climate change. Both climate change and hydropower development are also most likely to impact on the community livelihoods.
This paper assesses the the impacts of climate change and hydropower development on the community livelihoods within the Sondu Miriu River basin. It involves interviews with the local community, their leadership and other development actors within the basin. Vulnerability assessment and statistical applications tools have been used.
The results have shown that climate change and hydropower development have impact on the community livelihoods in general. They both have a big influence on the socioeconomic and environmental activities within the basin. The benefits derived from hydropower development project can be used to reduce the vulnerability of the local communities to climate change impacts.

Proximate, Mineral and Sensory Properties of Plantain–Soy Flour Blends
Gbenga Daniel Abata, Emmanuel Orimisan Abata , Daniel Babatunde Lene, Yetunde Omobola Akande – March 2019 Page No.: 21-26
The study investigated the fortification of food product comprising of plantain flour and soy flour. It also evaluated the proximate, mineral composition and sensory characteristics of the blends with a view to increase the protein quantity and quality of the blends and use soy bean to substitute plantain flour. The blends comprising of plantain-soy flour were in the ratio (100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20). The samples were evaluated for proximate analysis (moisture content, crude fat, crude protein, ash content, crude fibre, carbohydrate and the kilocalories), mineral analysis (calcium, phosphorus and iron) using standard method. Sensory evaluation which includes (aroma, extensibility, colour, taste and overall acceptability), and sensory characteristics were evaluated (when reconstituted in hot water) using a 9 point hedonic scale. All data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. The following result were obtained: moisture content, 11.92%-13.25%, ash content, 0.84%-1.28%, crude fat, 0.20%-0.58%, crude protein 4.50%-6.31%, crude fibre, 0.40%-0.72%, carbohydrate, 78.71% – 81.18%,kcal 343.47-345.41.The result of mineral analysis in (mg/100mg) were as follow: iron content 8.09-18.25, phosphorus content 132.98-170.80, calcium content 102.86 150.03. All the samples were moderate in terms of colour, taste, extensibility, aroma, and overall acceptability except the sample with 80:20 blends that have the highest overall acceptability. It was concluded that 80:20 blend has the highest overall acceptability because of high protein content.

Water is one of the most important natural resources essential for survival and it is supplied to cities through pipelines from water sources such has rivers and lakes. Non Revenue Water (NRW) is the amount of water which has been produced and lost before reaching the customer. It may be due to leaks, illegal connection and faulty meters.
Bearing in mind that water leakage is a global issue that has already grown to become a critical issue in many areas, the main objective of the paper is to develop a leak and water monitoring system, using the concept of IoT, flow sensor that can be used for detecting the leak and solenoid valves placed in different parts of pipeline cam obstruct the water flow until the defective part of the pipeline is repaired. And further the leak occurred shall be informed to concerned authorities wirelessly.

Impacts Socio-Economiques et Sanitaires de l’Exploitation des Fermes Intégrées à Dominance Piscicole dans la Commune d’Abomey-Calavi (Sud-Bénin)
Gyl FABADE, Vifan EricSEBO, Thierry HervéAZONHE, Yannick ATIGLI – March 2019 – Page No.: 33-43
Satisfying the consumption needs of animal protein of halieutic origin poses enormous problems as well on the organizational level as social and economic. The present study was therefore analyzed by the socio-economic and sanitary producers of fish production at fish farms and / or farms with fish dominance in the Commune of Abomey-Calavi (Benin). In order to carry out this study, the methodology adopted revolves around the collection of data, their treatments and the analysis of the results. For field data collection, a sample of 54 farms including 29 integrated farms with fish dominance and 25 fish farms were identified. The economic analysis relied on revenue per production band, thanks to estimates of the flows reported by the operators. With regard to the health impacts of fish farming, they have been appreciated through the cross-analysis of farm activities and the types of diseases suffered by farmers. The results of the study show that farmers’ working conditions and farm activities vary from one farm to another. Overall, 63% of farms are mainly fish farms, 9.3% are livestock breeding, 25.9% mainly market gardening and 1.9% are mainly engaged in agriculture. In total, 100% of the farmers have a fish production unit in association with other productions. Factors such as income per production band and health constraints influence fish development in the study area.

Effect of Ethanolic Root Extract of Sphenocentrum jollyanum, Baphia nitida, Pinus koraiensis, and Sildenafil on Some Haematological Test Parameters in Albino Wistar Rats
Iheanyichukwu Wopara, Augustine A. Uwakwe, Matthew O. Wegwu, Emmanuel U. Modo, Samuel C. Anyalenkeya- March 2019 Page No.: 44-48
Sphenocentrum jollyanum, Baphia nitida and Pinus koraiensis are evergreen shrub plants usually used as an aphrodisiac and have been used in traditional medicine practice for centuries with its leaves, roots and latex all in use. Sildenafil (Viagra) are drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of ethanolic root extract of Sphenocentrum jollyanum, Baphia nitida, Pinus koraiensis and Sildenafil (Viagra) tablets on some haematological test parameters of albino rats. The experimental animals were grouped into five different groups with 5 animals each. Group 1 (control) were fed with vital pellet feed and tap water only, Group 2 received 80mg/kg of grinded tablets of sildenafil, Group 3 received 200mg/kg Baphia nitida, Group 4 received 200mg/kg of Sphenocentrum jollyanum, while Group 5 received 600mg/kg of Pinus koraiensis (Korean pine nuts). Haemoglobin, Packed cell volume, White blood cell, Red blood cell, and Platelet concentration were determined using automated haematological analyzer systemex KX-21 (Japan). The result shows a significant difference (p<0.05) in PCV level of Group 5 (32.4 ± 3.2 %) compared to the control rats (41.7 ± 1.2 %) and Group 2 (39.6 ± 2.9 %), as well as Group 3 (38.8 ± 1.2 %) and Group 4 (35.7 ± 8.2 %). Platelet counts also showed statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in Group 4 (307.6 ± 9.18 x 109/L) compared to Group 2 (428.5 ± 14.1 x 109/L), as well as Group 3 and Group 5. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the haemoglobin levels between the control rats and Group 2, 3 and Group 4. White blood cell counts showed higher mean values in Group 2 (13.6 ± 4.1 x 109/L), compared to the control rats (9.9 ± 1.4 x 109/L) and other groups, but the mean difference were not statistically significant (p>0.05). While the red blood cell counts were not statistically significant. This result therefore suggests that ethanolic extract of the aphrodisiac plant Sphenocentrum jollyanum (Ikeagwu), Baphia nitida (Abosi) and Pinus koraiensis as well as Sildenafil tablets at certain concentration could be desirous or deleterious so caution should be applied during oral ingestion.

Evaluation of Metal Pollutants and Bioaccumulation Factors in Macrobrachium macrobrachium and Sarotherodon melanotheron from Porto-Novo Lagoon, Benin Republic
Olusola Adeniyi Babalola – March 2019 Page No.: 49-55
Significant distribution of metal pollutants and bioaccumulation factors in Macrobrachium macrobrachium and Sarotherodon melanotheron from Porto-Novo lagoon ecosystem was studied during two hydrological periods. Metal pollutants such as Hg, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni, Va, and Methyl mercury were found in measurable quantities in the test animals using AAS equipment for analyses and are found to be above regulatory agency permissible limits. Tissues and organs of M. macrobrachium had less than 1.00 bioaccumulation factors in Cd, Fe, Mn, Ni, and MH3Hg while bioaccumulation factors greater than 1.00 are found in Hg, Cu, Zn, Cr, Va, and Pb . Tissue and organs of S. melanotheron had less than1.00 bioaccumulation factor in Hg, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni, and MH3Hg while, Cr and Va had greater than 1.00 BF. There is a significant difference in the means of metal pollutants in the tissues and organs of M. macrobrachium during dry season at 5% level of significance. There is no significant difference in the means of metal pollutants in the tissues and organs of S. melanotheron at 5% level of significance in both seasons. The results indicate that M. macrobrachium and S. melanotheron from Porto-Novo lagoon bio-accumulate metal pollutants that are detrimental to human health s well as affecting the physiology of these test animals in the Porto-Novo lagoon ecosystem. It is therefore recommended that Porto-Novo lagoon should be put on National Priority List for adequate revamping.

Experimental Investigation on Tribological Behavior of Bio Based Lubricant as Metal Working Fluid in Machining Process
S.A Vasudevan, V. Saravanan and D. Anandakumar – March 2019 Page No.: 59-62
Metalworking fluid (MWF) is commonly used to reduce wear and friction, which in turn improves the productivity and quality of the components. However, theusage of conventional MWF made frommineral oil causes negative effects to the ecology and human health. Therefore, it is desirable to formulate sustainable MWFs as an alternative to petroleum-based oils. The crude Mahua oil (CMO) with various compositions with synthetic esters as per ASTM STD is formed and modified Mahuaoil (MMOs) were tested in the test specimens. The orthogonal cutting process carried out and the lubricants were supplied by using minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique. It was observed that theMMO exhibited an outstanding performance in terms of wear, friction and surface finish when compared to commercial syntheticester (SE). This works showed that MMO is a viable replacement for synthetic ester(SE) as a metal working fluid.

SBFR: SHA Based Fingerprint Recognition for Secured Smart Ration Management System
V. Kovendan, B. Ramyabharathi, G. Haritha – March 2019 – Page No.: 63-66
– Finger print recognition is an efficient method of identifying an individual. Fingerprint is one of the most well-known biometrics solutions for verification on electronic systems. Finger print security applications are frequently upgraded on infrared cameras and video cameras for providing security system such as logins and transaction authentications. Hence this technology is implemented in the newly designed smart rationing system. The present system in the ration shops is like the shopkeeper sees the ration book of the user and gives the quantity of grocery the user asks for. Nevertheless there will not be proper constancy in supplying the grocery things to the customer. Every now and then even there may be coincidental that different customers taking the grocery on same ration cards and also used by unauthorized persons. To avoid all these issues, we have proposed secure finger print recognition for card less and automatic smart ration management system with high security.

Nigeria Business Legal Frameworks and Entrepreneurship: Prospects and Challenges for Economic Development
Samuel S. Idowu – March 2019 Page No.: 67-72
Variability of business legal environment across the globe but with significant effect on entrepreneurship and economic development motivate the conduct of this research. The path of qualitative research method was followed as secondary data sources were exploited and theory of entrepreneur employed to underpin the study. The analysis of data reveals that the influence of British colonial business legal framework largely condition Nigeria environment and effort to reshape it after independent crowded out foreign entrepreneurs resulting into investment policy revision and left domestic counterparts ill-prepared for optimum performance, and as well to function as substitute at the same time. Therefore, ensuring a predictable business environment that is averse to policy summersault, collaboration among the three tiers of government, that is the federal, state and local government on entrepreneurship policy formulation and implementation and effective implementation of spirit and letter of the business laws are recommendations offer to position entrepreneurship for economic development in Nigeria.

Seismic Review of Conceptual Layouts in Earthquake Prone Areas: A Challenge for Practising Architects
Jayarajan P – March 2019 – Page No.: 73-78
The poor seismic performance of the built environment during earthquakes highlights the necessity to design an infrastructure that is both strong and resilient. In this scenario, the architects need to play a critical role in every stages of a building project from conceiving to commissioning including the site selection, preparation of conceptual layouts, structural design, seismic detailing, construction and engineering of non-structural elements. A basic understanding of architectural aspects that govern the seismic behaviour of buildings is essential to ensure an earthquake resistant construction. The paper presents various aspects to be critically reviewed by architects in the preparation of earthquake resistant conceptual layouts. The configuration issues affecting the earthquake performance and their solutions are discussed. Finally, the importance in engineering and detailing of non-structural elements is highlighted.

Compare the Fresh and Hardened State Properties of Self Compacting Concrete Produce by Using Fresh and Recycled Aggregate
Avanish Kumar, R.C. Patil, Rakesh Sakale, Hirendra Pratap Singh – March 2019 Page No.: 89-100
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a smooth concrete mixture that be bright to combine below its personal load. The extremely liquid life of SCC makes it proper for placing in hard situation and in sections with heaving reinforcement. Use of SCC can also help reduce inquiry-connected damage on the worksite that is inducing by shaking of concrete. Any more benefit of SCC is that the moment in time necessary to position outsized sections is greatly cheap.

Design and Fabrication of Combination Fixture for Reducing Production Time in Pump Manufacturing
D. Anandakumar, V. Saravanan and S.A Vasudevan – March 2019 Page No.: 101-105
In most of pump manufacturing industries, three fixtures are used for performing machining operations like milling, drilling and tapping on the components such as rear cover, front cover, suction bracket and casing. They lead to increase loading time, setting time, machining time and unloading time. To reduce the production time significantly, the three fixtures are replaced by a single fixture in this present work. The new fixture and supporting plates have been designed with the help of SOLID WORKS software. By means of this fixture, total production time is reduced to 78.6% and hence production rate is also improved significantly.

Smart Water Distribution System
Raghavendra Havaldar & Sruthin Balachandran V.V – March 2019 – Page No.: 111-115
Water leakage in water distribution system is a major issue. The leak in pipes could be due to various reasons like poorly constructed pipelines, inadequate corrosion protection etc. The paper consists of a model that is been designed to detect and respond to the water leak at the earliest. During water leakage, real time transmission of information at dynamically changing environment should be achieved. This can be done using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology. Here water flow sensors are used to detect water leak in distribution system by observing change in flow rate. The sensor data is collected using microcontroller and transmitted using an XBee module to the server. At the server the data is processed and is stored in the database which helps in the generation of report on consumption of water. A solenoid valve is used at the water head, which turns off automatically whenever a heavy leak in the system is detected.

Preservative Efficacy of Aqueous and Ethanolic Extracts of Leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.) on Soybean Daddawa- A Condiment
Adelodun L.Kolapo, Temitope O.S.Popoola – March 2019 Page No.: 116-123
Previous studies showed that lipid peroxidation is a key factor in soybean daddawa deterioration and Alliums are rich in antioxidants. In the present study, the preservative efficacies of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.) on stored soybean daddawa compared to Sodium Chloride (NaCl) was investigated. Soybean (Glycine max (L). Merr.)seeds fermented into soybean daddawa was preserved with both extracts (at 3, 5 and 7% concentration) and NaCl (at the concentrations of 0, 3 and 5%). The samples stored at 30±20C for up to 14 days were analysed for peroxide value (POV), free fatty acid (FFA), pH, titratable acidity (TTA), water absorption capacity (WAC) and fat absorption capacity (FAC). Solvent used in extraction did not have significant (P>0.05) effect on all the storage indices. Extracts of Leek significantly (P<0.05) lowered the POV, FFA and TTA generated in stored daddawa. The pH of all the stored soybean daddawa samples did not change significantly (P>0.05), except those treated with ethanolic extract which reduced pH values from 8.08 – 8.60 to 5.70 – 6.70. Both tested extracts lowered the WAC significantly (P<0.05) while the FAC of treated soybeandaddawa was not significantly affected compared to those treated with NaCl. Results of the present study suggest better antioxidant activities of leek extract over NaCl which is commonly employed in soybean daddawa preservation. This advantage coupled with the medicinal value of leek will probably qualify it as a virile alternative for soybean ddadawa preservation.

Direct Memory Access Controller Design and Implementation for decreasing the Memory Access Time, Power and Area
Santosh Kumar B – March 2019 – Page No.: 124-125
Most of the newly developed stand alone embedded devices in the field of image, video and sound processing take more and more use of direct memory access controller. This controller is focused at high transmission capacity applications, for example, live video streaming. It is intended to drive 256-bit double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory. The double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory architecture utilizes a 2n-prefetch architecture, where the inner information transport is double the width of the outer information transport. A solitary read or compose cycle includes a solitary 2n-bit wide, one-clock-cycle information exchange at the center, and two relating n-bit wide, one-half-clock-cycle information exchanges at the I/O. Hence, this empowers fast activity as the inside section gets to are half the recurrence of the outer information exchange rate. Double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memories utilize a byte-wide, bidirectional information strobe that is transmitted remotely, alongside information (DQ) for information catch. Bidirectional information strobe is transmitted edge-adjusted by the double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory amid peruses, and focus adjusted by the controller amid keeps in touch with the memory. The double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory uses on-chip delay-bolted circles to check out bidirectional information strobe and comparing DQs, guaranteeing that they are very much coordinated and that they track each other with changes in voltage and temperature. For FPGA structure the IC producers are giving business memory controller IP centers working just on their items. Principle impediment is the absence of memory get to enhancement for arbitrary memory get to designs. The ‘data path’ some portion of those controllers can be utilized free of charge. This work propose a design of a double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory controller, which exploits those accessible and well tested data paths and can be utilized for any reconfigurable device.

Comfort in accommodation based on facilities and quality services play a very vital role in making meaningful any tourist destination. This study aimed at mapping accommodation Centre’s locations and assessing them based on their functions, criteria and category in which they fall. Google earth satellite imagery was used to determine the spatial location of individual accommodation Centre consisting of hotels, hotel and suites, guests houses, conference/event centre’s Inn, resorts etc. Three hundred and seventy (370) accommodations Centre’s were determined through the Google earth satellite imagery. Other information was derived from online resource (internet based information) and manager of various kind of accommodation Centre’s studied in Ibadan based on functions, criteria, categories (stars). Road map of Ibadan was extracted from the road map of Oyo State and lay over the data acquired to show the exact position of each accommodation centre using ArcGIS 10.2.1 software application package. The results of study showed the composite map of the generalized distribution of accommodation Centre’s with 1, 2, 3, 4 with their respective color (yellow, red, blue, green) and maps based on their categories (1, 2, 3, 4,) Stars. Generally, the results showed that all accommodation Centre’s studied fall within (1 to 4) Stars in category. It can be concluded from the results that the study will help the tourist to choose the best accommodation Centre they want. It will also help those that owned the accommodation centre’s to improve the quality of their services and facilities. Also for those that want to establish their own accommodation centre’s to determine the category in which they want their own to fall.

The research work examine consumers preference for local rice in South west, Nigeria. It specifically described the socioeconomic characteristics of local rice consumers in the study area. Data of 150 household was collected through a well-structured questionnaire. Tobit regression model and likert type of measurement were used to measures the collected parameters.The results of the analysis shows that consumption is consistent among 59.3% of the respondent.The choice of local rice consumption is evident by their positive perceptions that local rice is healthy, have good taste and superior in quality than polish rice. Although some claim less utility in local rice consumption because it’s less attractive, look dirty and less friendly in term of cooking, Ofadabrand of local rice is still the most preferred.
The study also reveals thathousehold size, quality, ease of cooking and market price have significant influence on the consumer’s decision.

Vaccine supply chain is a critical success factor in the improvement in immunization coverage towards universal health coverage. Immunization in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) generally suffers lots of setbacks due to supply chain bottlenecks. This research therefore explored the supply chain ecosystem in Nigeria to determine the challenges of supply chain in Nigeria and possible solutions to them. The study took pragmatic approach to explore the Nigeria vaccine supply chain ecosystem. In a mixed method, we explored some quantitative and qualitative questions using an internet-based questionnaire (Google form). From the survey, a total of 200 valid responses were received and analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft excel combined and patterns/correlations. Among the professionals, only few people (21.0%) had above average (very good and excellent) knowledge of vaccine chain while more than 30% had very poor knowledge of vaccine supply chain in Nigeria. This poor knowledge of vaccine supply chain that cuts across all professions is a major challenge to efficiency and success of vaccine supply chain in Nigeria. All the five factors considered as bottlenecks to vaccine supply chain in Nigeria were highly rated as major challenges by over 90% of all respondents. Thus, a lot has to be done to create awareness on vaccine supply chain across all healthcare profession and more efforts are needed both by government and professionals to overcome the challenges of bottlenecks to vaccine supply chain in Nigeria.
