Abstract: The hazardous nature of the Nigerian building construction industry due to lack of construction data and records of incidents which have led to loss of life, property damage, injuries and loss of materials in an average construction site is alarming. The aim and objective of this study is to know how effective the use of drone to monitor safety and security in Nigerian Building Construction site can improve...
Fault tolerance in reversible logic circuits and quantum cost optimization
Article in Press
Energy dissipation has a prominent factor for the very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI). The reversible logic-based circuit was capable to compute the logic without energy dissipation. Accordingly, reversible circuits are an emerging domain of research based on the low value of energy dissipation. At nano-level design, the critical factor in the logic computing paradigm is the fault. The proposed methodology of fault...

The quality of castings in a green sand mould is influenced significantly by its properties, such as green compressive strength, shear strength, shatter index, compatibility, moisture content, permeability and others which depend on input parameters. Usually, the aforementioned properties of a particular casting differ due to variation in composition of the moulding sand mixtures, sand grain shape and size, bonding...
Vertical Accuracy Evaluation of Satellite Digital Elevation Models in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Article in Press
Digital elevation models (DEMs) of having various cell sizes, which can take place in the form of digital surface models (DSMs) or digital terrain models (DTMs), are extensively used as indispensable geospatial information sources for various remote sensing applications and for many engineering projects. DEMs of having a definite cell size is freely available on the internet in different world areas. In spite of this, the...

The profiles of the material transfer properties in porous products such as Spirulina platensis during drying which characterize their behavior are often determined from different experimental points by destruction of the samples. However, for a long drying time, it’s impossible to slice or cut the sample correctly because of its mechanical strength and friability. It influences the evaluation of product in cylindrical...
Design and Fabrication of Teff Threshing Machine
Article in Press
Teff has the largest value in terms of both production and consumption in Ethiopia and the value of the commercial surplus of teff is second next to coffee. The traditional way of threshing and winnowing, leads to contamination of grains with foreign matter (pebbles, dirt, and cow dung) and loss of grains due to the foreign matter dropping in to grains and the wind blowing grains away with chaff. This design helps to find...
A Features Fusion Approach for Automatic Pollen Recognition
Article in Press
In microscopy image analysis, images of pollen are particularly difficult to analyze automatically. The major reason of this difficulty emerges from the complex nature of the pollen, which presents great variability and similarities between classes and even on the same classThis paperpropose a feature selection methodology with dimensionality reduction for pollen image classification. First, we extracted five descriptors...

Due to changes in livestock sector and raise of consumer demand for comprehensive and integrated food security and safety, there has been a concern to use of farm data in enhancing animal traceability and decision making by farmers and other decision makers in livestock sector. To ensure high production through effective decision making and high standards that can be proven by audits, producers are required to have a...
Agricultural machinery performance and tractors servicability in Delta State, Nigeria
Article in Press
Agricultural machinery performance and tractor serviceability optimizes agricultural productivities in farm operations. A study was conducted in Delta State, Nigeria assessing level of machinery utilization in farm operations and serviceable conditions. Eight (8) government owned tractors locations with 60 tractors, and eight private owned farms with 29 tractors were studied. A structured questionnaire, primary and...
ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF POOR DRAINAGE SYSTEM ON ROAD PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY IN DIRE DAWA TOWN
Article in Press
Proper design, construction, and maintenance of road drainage structures are very essential especially for the urban drainage system because of it’s the adverse effect both on the road and the community in case flooding happen. The drainage system of the towns in Ethiopian commonly uses rational method for the estimation of design discharge which directly depends on rainfall intensity, runoff coefficients and catchment...

The study was conducted during 2018 cropping season at Dugda Woreda to investigate the effect of in situ moisture conservation techniques on grain yield and yield components of maize. Treatments comprised of tied ridge, furrow closed at both end and farmer’s practices( as the control). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design(RCBD) with three replication. The grain yield and thousand seed...
Hybrid Technique For The Waste Water Treatment Using Bio Waste of Tea Plant
Article in Press
The effect of physical, mechanical and multi – step chemical treatments on the adsorptivity of waste of tea (WOT) adsorbent for the removal of 3 multi – heavy metal component from simulated wastewater was evaluated in this study. There are new techniques of (WOT) adsorbents prepared for the adsorption studies, namely physical treatment of (WOT), mechanical treatment of Blended (WOT) and chemical treatment of (WOT) using...

The demand for pure ethanol has become paramount for its various applications in biofuels and preparation of industrial chemicals, food and pharmaceutical products. Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) has proven to be an effective process and a more economical method for separating the azeotropic concentration of ethanol-water (95% ethanol, 5% water) than distillation. The modeling of PSA of ethanol-water azeotropic...
