ABSTRACT

The study was carried out in the area around Dalinkowa Town, Gongola basin, Upper Benue Trough with view of carrying out grain size distribution analysis of the exposed middle Bima Sandstone. Thirteen (13) samples have been collected and analyzed for their grain-size parameters and statistical relationships by using graphical method. Basic stati­stical grain-size parameters like mean, sorting (standard deviation), skewness, and kurtosis have been calculated. The samples are almost all poorly to moderately sorted, very fine-skewed to coarse skewed and platykurtic to leptokurtic in nature.

ABSTRACT Hydrodynamic equations were simplified to a layman understanding together with the diffusion-convection transport equation for the cosmic-ray distribution function

, which depends on time

, radial distance from the point of supernova explosion

 and the particle momentum

. From the results, gas density

 is inversely proportional to the gas velocity

; flux tubes have a tendency to rise at an appreciable speed; pressure of the atmospheric gas

 depends on the cosmic-ray pressure

 and the internal energy of the electron

 is directly proportional to the gas density

. Based on what Vladimir et al. (2010) said: “More work is needed to understand how robust our results are”, this has helped in making their bulky equations clearer and showing how robust their work are. In the cause of breaking down or simplifying the high energy equations, it was found that cosmic

ABSTRACT

Information and communication technology is increasingly deployed in enhancing organizational processes for a positive impact on productivity and job satisfaction. Unfortunately, numerous construction organizations focus on the “hard” technology acquisitions in guiding organizational success and ignoring the integration of human system assumed to be the end-user of the invested technologies. The failure of most ICT interventions to effectively integrate employee adoption issues have contributed significantly in abandoning IT initiatives for not meeting their performance objectives. Through an extensive review of academic literatures, this study examines the importance of change management and reflects upon its significance in the larger context of ICT implementation. To do this, the general concept of organizational change management and change models/theories have been discussed along with some important constructs considered in organizational transformation from developing country perspective.

ABSTRACT

This study develops deterministic and probability models particularly additive and bilinear models with a view to determine the future goals in Manchester United Football Club. The nonlinear and non stationary nature of the series (goals) calls for the use of non linear time series model in addition to the deterministic model. The parameters of these models were estimated using the appropriate technique. The appropriate technique also was used to select the best model which was used to determine the future goals in Manchester United Football Club. For the deterministic model the future goals were determined and for the probability model the direction of goals in future was also determined. The future goals from these models will guide the policy maker (in football match) in decision taken.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, an attempt is made to design and implement an automatic change over with remote control. The design and construction of an automatic changeover with remote control will ease the use of an electrical power generating system. This paper focuses on the design of an automatic changeover with timer system that will enhance user control over a power generating set. It is intended for use with a single phase power generating set operating at  ac. This research work is limited to the design of an automatic changeover with timer system that will enhance user control over a power generating set. It is intended for use with a single phase power generating set operating at  ac.
