DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MICROCONTROLLER-BASED VERSATILE Y- AND CROSS-JUNCTION TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM/TRAINER

A microcontroller-based Versatile Traffic Light Control System/Trainer has been designed and implemented in the course of this project. The system can control traffic lights in all types of y- and cross-junctions. Two major aspects of the system are the hardware subsystem and the software subsystem. Each subsystem was first broken down into simpler parts or modules and each module was […]

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WIRELESS MENU SELECTION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONICQUEUE BASED SERVICE DELIVERY

In most organizations, queues for services have become a generic problem. This thesis presents a prototyped wireless menu selection system for electronic-queue based service delivery. The developed system consists of a microprocessor, interface circuit and an improvised blue tooth wireless system. The model was configured to depict a financial institution while the blue tooth wireless technology allows customers to have remote […]

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A MICROCONTROLLER-BASED MAINS SWITCH CONTROL SYSTEM

Many people tend to enjoy use of facilities without control even when there are bills to settle to guarantee continuity. This project was born out of the desire to prevent damages and time wastage on control of industrial equipment. It is designed to control all the facilities (for example electrical appliances) not only in the hospitality industry but also […]

EXPERT SYSTEM FOR LOCAL AREA NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING

This work is designed to provide assistance in engaging and overcoming challenges involved in troubleshooting and maintenance of local area networks. It is presented in such simplified, easy-to-use way, that even users who are not experts in the field of networking, computer and/or communication engineering can relate with, and can apply its expertise to obtain various network solutions. Whenever there […]

REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM

This thesis has to do with the transfer of medical records taken remotely to a doctor via GSM wireless communication link. Specifically it makes use of the Short Messaging System (SMS) of the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM). The records will be taken by a nurse and stored in the hospital database via a visual basic developed user-interface. Whenever […]

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF HEAVY METALS IN ANAMBRA RIVER

The distribution and occurrence of heavy metals in water column of the Anambra River were investigated in the dry season adopting standard chemical methods. Following the establishment of the presence and appreciable concentration of heavy metals in various stations (P<0.05) in the water column, biological effects of two heavy metals (copper and zinc) were investigated in laboratory bioassays against […]

BENEFICIATION, DEPHOSPHORIZATION AND DESULPHURIZATION OF AGBAJA IRON ORE

Iron ores are used in blast furnace for the production of pig iron; Agbaja Iron ore has  an estimated reserve of over I billion metric tonnes. Unfortunately, this large reserve cannot be utilized for the production of pig iron due to its high sulphur and phosphorus contents. In addition, the ore cannot be beneficiated easily like Itakpe and […]

ADSORPTION AND KINETIC MODELLING OF HEAVY METALS UPTAKE FROM WASTEWATER EFFLUENTS

Adsorption and kinetic modelling of heavy metals uptake from wastewater effluents using indigenous cellulose based waste biomass, such as nipa palm nut (NPN), palmyra palm nut (PPN), oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), oil palm fibre (OPF), and oil palm shell (OPS), as potential raw materials for the preparation of activated carbons was studied. Full factorial design of experiments […]

EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS IN SOUTH-EAST NIGERIA

This research studied “evaluating the effectiveness of project delivery methods in South-East Nigeria”. There are alternatives delivery methods for executing a project, the choice of selection are mostly done on familiarity bases, which is purely subjective and may not offer a better approach to optimize the overall success of the project. An extensive review of literatures in relation to […]
