Counseling is a helping relationship involving a client or clients and a professional counselor; while a counseling theory is a postulation put forward to guide the counselor in the process of helping a client with a maladjustment problem. Thus, this paper has x-rayed Alfred Adler’s “Individual psychology” counseling theory; covering issues such as concepts and view of human nature; Adler’s explanation of abnormal behaviours, goal of therapy, therapeutic techniques as well as the criticisms and merits of the Adlerian individual psychology and concluded with the implications and applicability of the theory to Nigeria life situation.

The basis of this study is to analyze the terrain of Kachia LGA (the home of military institutions in Nigeria) for military operations. ArcGIS 10.0, in complimentary with Google Earth Pro and Suffer 10 were integrated with remotely sensed data such as SRTM Digital Elevation Models data, satellite imageries in conjunction with secondary data such as topographical and thematic map to analyze the terrain of kachia LGA. Relevant existing data were also acquired and processed to generate DEM, slope, contours, 3D-view and flow accumulations which were used for general reconnaissance and the analysis of the terrain, that is, the topography, landuse and landcover, drainage and some cultural features such as roads and settlements of the LGA. Viewshed analysis, Lines of Sight and 3D view were used to model the best avenue of approach by the military into the LGA. Moreover, the most suitable site for “release point” during military advance which were based on some criteria were also modeled and determined using geospatial techniques. Other military operations such as axis of advance and obstacle crossing were all demonstrated, while the scenario of the real battle ground were modeled and analyzed. The study revealed that only four Original Research Article Isaac et al.; BJAST, 19(6): 1-18, 2017; Article no.BJAST.29669 2 out of the ten routes into Kachia LGA are suitable for advance, while the best release point was found to be located in the southern part of Kaja settlement with area coverage of 18.09km 2 . Bonds such as villages like Atara, Akwana, Ungwan Kanrara, Bika and Adage as well as Rivers Katera, Awon and Bika which all lie along the axis of advance between the Release Point and Kachia were also detected geospatially as the Report Lines. Rivers Atara, Akwana and Bika were discovered to be possible obstacles along the axis of advance. Nigeria military should as a matter of priority establish units for geospatial analysis in all the military institutions.

This work considers the Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) approach as a quick tool to estimate the gas reservoir performance of field “ABC” in the Niger Delta region. The conventional Arps’ models: Exponential, Harmonic and Hyperbolic, alongside with the Reciprocal and Quadratic models were used. Production data: gas production rate q and gas cumulative production G were obtained from 13 wells in the field “ABC”. Multivariate analyses were performed with the mentioned models to establish the decline constant (Di) and decline exponent (b); for hyperbolic model, of the field “ABC” in the Niger Delta region. A decline constant of 0.000064day was obtained from all the models with exception of Reciprocal model with 0.00053day for the gas field. Also, the decline exponent (b) obtained for Hyperbolic model was 0.9999. The statistical analysis: absolute error, standard deviation and coefficient of determination, of the fitted models used to ascertain the extent of their predicted values differ from the field test data results in Arps’ models: Exponential 0.1150, Original Research Article Okon et al.; BJAST, 19(1): 1-14, 2017; Article no.BJAST.31184 2 0.02666 and 0.9981; Harmonic 0.11547, 0.02665 and 0.9982 and Hyperbolic 0.11547, 0.02665 and 0.9982, respectively. Furthermore, Reciprocal and Quadratic models generated an absolute error, standard deviation and coefficient of determination of 0.09726, 0.026745 and 0.9911, and 0.0097, 0.000008 and 0.9998, respectively. Thus, the results indicate that, modern rate decline models for reservoir performance analysis can compete with the well-known Arps’ model(s). Therefore, the fitted Quadratic-based model can be used as a quick tool to analyze the reservoir performance of the gas field “ABC” in the Niger Delta region.

In three-dimensional metrology, the means of 3D measurements have been widely multiplied in recent years, in metrology laboratories, in production workshops, with the evolution of technology in general, the software associated with these machines are multiplied and allow to obtain the results of measurements with different methods. In this article we carry virtual measurements on a part, using two different software associated with coordinate measuring machines, but without the CMM. To do this we use the same measurement procedure in these two software, the least-squares method is applied for the evaluation of the geometrical specifications of the part. The results obtained by the two programs are compared with the nominal values. The article highlights the hypothesis that the software contributes in the 3D measurement results; this approach allows the CMM measurement controller to know what measurement her software, before doing physical measurements on the CMM.

In Turkey, road traffic has been increasing rapidly in province centers with the increase of the number of vehicles. The number of motor vehicles has shown an increase of 70 % within the last decade in Turkey. Inner-city traffic control is regulated by traffic lights and traffic all the vehicles, and the detection of the wanted vehicles (stolen, seized, restrained) is possible through the system. The numbers of speed violations before and after the installation of the system was examined. It was seen that speed violations decreased from around 90% to around 1% considering the number of the passing vehicles. The decrease in speed violations was found to be parallel to the decrease in accidents. As the result of the assessment of the traffic regulation information in addition to traffic control enabled the solution of a large number of security-related cases.

Aims : This study aims to assess physicians’ knowledge on patients’ radiation protection during their computed tomography (CT) scan prescriptions. Materials and Methods: A standardized questionnaire in multiple-choice format consisted of four sections with a total of eight questions based on the literature review. A total of 153 (59%) completed questionnaires were returned from six different hospitals in Morocco. Results: Only 38% of prescribers took into account the ratio benefit/risk related to x-rays. Just 10% of doctors explained the risk related to x-rays to the patients. One out of four physicians has Original Research Article Semghouli et al.; BJAST, 20(3): 1-8, 2017; Article no.BJAST.32491 2 correctly estimated the effective dose received by patient during a CT scan of abdomen pelvic examination. 63% of physicians underestimated the lifetime risk of fatal cancer attributable to a single CT scan of the abdomen pelvic. Only 14% of practitioners have received formal training on risks to patients from radiation exposure. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated the limited knowledge of radiation exposure among Physicians’ and Residents and this can be improved through educational and training programs.

This work was carried out in collaboration between all authors. Author AOA conceived and designed the study, while authors OTO, OLR and JFE performed the field works and statistical analyses. Author OTO wrote the first draft of the manuscript as part of his M.Eng thesis under the supervision of author AOA. Author AOA reviewed the work for a journal article. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. ABSTRACT Aims: The paper compares the Results: The result revealed that, the densely populated area remains the larger consumer of energy content of 827,411.20 MJ (63%) against the sparsely populated areas with 486,267.60 MJ (37%), while on the basis of households’ income level; the energy consumed by the low income earners (790,719.30 MJ) is significantly higher than the high income earners (522,959.49 MJ). Conclusion: The study established that, fuel wood was the poor man’s energy source (6.5%) as well as charcoal (11.2%) majorly used in sparsely populated areas with high demand. Kerosene consumption (29.6%) was positively and significantly influenced by income and population in both locations while, LPG (44.9%) and electricity (7.8%) were used mainly in the densely populated areas. However, the results implied that, there was a positive link between income and choice of energy consumption by households that showed the low income earners consumed more energy than the high income earners due to their cooking frequency and unit energy purchase index.
