A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF CONJUGATION OF ENGLISH AND IGBO VERBS

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how verbs are formed in the two Languages. In-contact, namely; English and Languages were extensively compared and contrasted. Verb formation processes create teaching and learning problems for second Language Learners and this may be attributed to various factors. According to Anyadiegwu “a language learner may have the intralingual or interlingual problems in learning […]

MODELING AND EVALUATION OF A SIMPLE ADAPTIVE ANTENNA ARRAY FOR A WCDMA MOBILE COMMUNICATION.

This thesis presents the uniform Linear Array model of a simple adaptive antenna array based on signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) maximization. The SINR was investigated for a conventional narrow band beam former by varying the number of antenna array elements and number of interfering signals or users. The results were compared with that of omni-directional antenna. The graph obtained […]

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MICROCONTROLLER BASED VERSATILE STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

A microcontroller-Based Versatile Stepper Motor System/Trainer has been designed and implemented in this project. The developed prototype was built with readily available components including the AT89C51 Microcontroller which runs the control software and provides a flexible interface to the stepper motor drive. The control system is capable of driving the stepper motor clockwise or counterclockwise in full steps or in […]

CYBER SECURITY FOR GSM DATA PROTECTION

With the increasing use of extensive IT and Telecommunication systems for sensitive or safety-critical applications, the matter of IT and Telecommunication security is becoming more important. For the computer system, and its related applications, including data, to be trustworthy, it must be secured. This project covers all aspects of Computer System security. This project equally understudied the security […]

PC-BASED MULTIPOINT TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM USING CUTIX PLC, NNEWI AS CASE STUDY

A temperature monitoring system which can be used to monitor the temperature of industrial processes has been designed and implemented in the course of this project. This system relied upon a controller which is connected to temperature sensors. The controller compares the actual temperature to the desired control temperature, or set point, and provides an output to a control […]

MODELING AND EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF IEEE 802.11b DISTRIBUTED COORDINATION FUNCTION (DCF) IN A MULTI-RATE WIRELESS LAN

Distributed coordination Function is the most crucial component of IEEE 802.11 standard. It is a media access control (MAC) scheme used by the IEEE 802.11. Because the channels used by wireless devices is a time-varying broadcast medium, these devices need to have multi-rate and rate adaptive capability to adapt to the changing channel so that better performance can be achieved.
