This research utilized a regulated hydrological model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) interfaced with Geographical Information System (GIS), in studying the effectiveness of the chosen watershed management strategies on sediment reduction upstream of Shiroro dam, Nigeria. Selected management approaches were modelled while calibration and validation of the model were achieved using observed streamflow data. Findings indicated a good correlation during calibration and validation period. Application of reforestation, vegetative filter strips and stone bunds in the watershed reduces sediment production by 27 %, 39 %, and 15 % respectively. Thus, the sediment management scenarios depicted within this research are considerably sustainable and effective.

The paper presents an algorithm for profiling the hob tool designed to generate by plastic deformation the worm shafts from the composition of worm-wheel gear type, used in the seat adjustment mechanisms of some Audi and Mercedes cars. The active surface of the hob tool is a cylindrical helical surface of constant pitch. Two such tandem tools are used for deformation, the semi-finished product being positioned between them. During generation, the tools rotate around their own axes, which, combined with their helical surface, causes a helical movement of the blank. The active surfaces of the tools are mutually winding on the helical flanks of the generated worm. In the paper, two applications were developed for the generation of worms whose dimensions were determined by 3D scanning.

New geopolymer concrete with high mechanical strength - 58.9 MPa after 28 days of curing - was experimentally made under environmental friendly and economic conditions. The high-strength-geopolymer is baed on coal fly ash and building concrete waste as geopolymer materials suitable for completely substituting the cement in concrete structure. The alumino-silicate geopolymer materials with binder role were activated in liquid alkaline medium (sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide) for facilitating the polymerization reaction that turns the alumino-silicate wastes into geopolymer concrete. The use for the first time in this experiment of recycled building concrete waste from demolition is the work originality.

This study was designed to investigate the Performance of melted Expanded Polystrene (EPS) wastes on the quality of bitumen used in asphaltic concrete. The EPS materials were ground and then melted (200-400 oC) to form a slurry. Specific gravity of the EPS and chemical composition were determined by AAS analyses. The melted EPS was used as a modifier in mix proportions of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% by weight of bitumen. The 5% unmodified bitumen content obtained from the Marshall mix design was used to prepare asphalt concrete samples with 0 to 10% contents of melted EPS. The products were tested for Marshall stability, specific gravity, penetration, softening point, ductility, loss on heating, viscosity, flash and fire points and the melting point tests using standard methods. The ground EPS was uniform and well-graded (4.750-0.010 mm) with a specific gravity of 0.012, having a styrene structure with methanol on the ring. The specimen prepared with the specified mix proportion of EPS produced results that ranged between 5598.71-16937.70 N for Marshal stability; 2.02-3.54 for specific gravity; 129-152 mm for penetration; 42.80-47.50 oC for softening point; 75.00-32.90 cm for ductility; 0-3.48% for loss on heating; 208-2204 sec.STV for viscosity; 243.3-269.0 oC for flash point; 196.1-211.0 oC for melting point. The results also showed that with correlation coefficients ranging from r = 0.658-0.999, there is a strong positive correlation between the improvement exhibited in the specimen tested properties and melted EPS used in bitumen. At the 5% bitumen with 5% EPS by weight of asphalt concrete, the results of stability, flow and optimum bitumen content satisfied the British Standard Specification framework for polymer-modified bitumen and it is therefore suitable for flexible pavement construction.

This paper seeks to investigate the safety issues surrounding Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun (FUPRE) distribution network and the steps taken by the management to ensure that all employee’ health and safety issues are protected. Using direct observation, data were collected while ETAP was used to analyze the system. According to our findings, the Admin Block has the highest total fault current with an arcing value of 11.197 A and a bolted fault of 15.490 A, followed by College of Science with an arcing value of 9.460 A and a bolted fault of 13.106 A. Bus 1 has the lowest arcing value of 0.735 A and a bolted fault of 0.735A but with the highest incident energy of 6.180 cal/cm2, followed by Admin Block with incident energy of 2.868, while Health Center and Hostel had the lowest incident energy of 0.194 cal/cm2 and 0.196 cal/cm2, respectively. Arc-Flash Hazards are classified into five Hazard Risk Categories by NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace which range from category A-C from the findings. This has helped to shed more light on the safety detection and control practices in workplace. This work adopted the incident energy analysis method during the investigation of the FUPRE distribution network. This analysis also showed the effectiveness of FUPRE distribution network in terms of health and safety practices.

In this study non-smooth surface plate application was experimentally investigated to flow control around a scaled minibus model in a wind tunnel. 1/15 scaled minibus model and non-smooth surface plate were designed in SolidWorks® Cad program and produced in 3-D printer. It was focused on decrease of drag coefficient of vehicle with non-smooth surface plate by reducing flow separation. The experimental tests carried out 4 free stream velocities between the speed of 13.90-27.40 m/s and 2.62x105-5.18x105 Reynolds numbers. In wind tunnel tests Reynolds number independence was used to ensure dynamic similarity. The blockage rate was 10.68 %. It was determined that the using of non-smooth surface plate e on the front roof area of minibus model decreased to drag coefficient by an average of 1.03%. This reduction rate can decrease fuel consumption of vehicle about 0.5% at high speeds.

Antennas used for tyre pressure monitoring systems are usually enclosed by the tyre. On its own, the antenna may have excellent properties. However, the wheel and tyre may have an impact on the performance of the antenna. This paper investigated the performance of a simple 2.4 GHz whip antenna for a tyre pressure monitoring system. The antenna was modelled using HFSS, while the wheel and tyre were modelled using SolidWorks. The wheel and tyre can have an impact on the antenna performance. The reflection coefficients, VSWR, gain and radiation pattern were determined through simulations, using HFSS. The antenna operation was checked at different positions and configurations to the wheel to determine its’ optimum position for effective signal radiation. The four different configurations were: antenna grounded to the middle of the rim, antenna ungrounded to the wheel’s edge, antenna grounded to the wheel’s edge, and antenna grounded to the wheel’s edge enclosed by the tyre. The result shows that electrically grounding the antenna to the wheel by the edge improves its performance. Also, the tyre did not negatively impact the far-field gain of the antenna.

Tensile strength of concrete made with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste as replacement for fine aggregate was modelled using artificial neural network. A multilayer feedforward neural network (MLFFNN) and radial basis function (RBF) methodology were compared to see which was more accurate. The MLFFNN modelling results showed a predictive accuracy of 95.364% and a root mean square error value of 4.4409 × 10-16 while RBF neural network modeling results showed a higher predictive accuracy (99.509%) with a lower root mean square error value (1.6653 × 10-16). It is concluded that ANN models accurately predicted the tensile strength of PET concrete.

Additionally, using flow pattern models was estimated the chemical conversion with greater approximation to the experimental value. This result could be use in the scaling stages of the process and minimize overdesigns.
