ABSTRACT Paper based system for handling crime reporting becomes one of the challenging methods in police services globally ever since paper was invented. The South Sudan National Police Services (SSNPS) uses this system for handling crime reporting. This system presents a number of challenges such as a delay in disseminating crime reports by victims or witnesses, misplacement or loss of crime recorded files from the Police shelves and inconsistency of suspect documentation due to wrong man...
Abstract The transmission distance of any WDM fiber-optic communication system is eventually limited by fiber losses and it was introduced from fiber attenuation, connectors, splices, dispersion, interference and bending causes the power reduction in optical fiber communication. This loss limitation was mostly overcome using tunable optical filters, devices in which the desired channel is to be selected at the receiver with negligible crosstalk and small insertion loss. In this thesis diffe...
ABSTRACT Nowadays, water distribution network automation is becoming more and more popular day by day due to its numerous advantages, an internet-based water distribution network system focuses on monitoring and controlling water distribution network instance. Water distribution network face wastage of water due to improper water supply management, non-monitoring in real time, this caused scarcity of water, scarcity of water consider mainly problem in cities. water distribution network auto...
ABSTRACT The RADAR system is the first step and much more important and it has much more effect than the other step in the RADAR system works. The RADAR is used in different applications and systems, almost of these applications need high precision, and it's depending on the accuracy of RADAR ANTENNA orientation. Much research has been done and different systems designed to obtain a result within a permissible range. Design RADAR ANTENNA orientation and control system using FPGA and stepper m...
ABSTRACT This research dealt with the investigation of possibility of the use of the two representative seismic codes, UBC 1997, and IBC 2006, for seismic force analysis of R.C. buildings in Sudan. The theory of the seismic forces analysis was studied and presented. A R.C. building of eight storeys constructed in two sites, a very low seismic active site and a moderate seismic active site in Sudan which was analyzed by using ETABSv9.7.4 computer program. Utilizing data of the two sites, app...
Abstract Hydrological models are useful tools for prediction and understanding of hydrological phenomena which underpin watershed resources utilization. A watershed model simulates hydrological processes in a more holistic manner across the entire watershed area. Most watershed models are fairly complex; interactions among watershed hydrological components are essentially nonlinear and take place on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The Watershed Resources Management (WRM) model w...
This work considers the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams using granite as coarseaggregate without shear links. Four reinforced concrete beams were cast and tested to understandthe shear behavior with varying tension reinforcement ratios. The beams were cast in two pairs;the first pair had a depth of 184mm, a width of 110mm, and a length of 1500mm. The second pairhad a depth of 150mm, a width of 90mm, and a length of 1000mm. The first and second pair ofbeams had span-to-depth ratios...
In addition to the inherent advantages of an outrigger system over conventional framed structural system, damped-outrigger systems (DOS) enhance it further with its agility to resist lateral loads in high-rise buildings. Dynamic response of slender and flexible buildings with DOS induces vibration control in which twisting of core structure is restricted by shear deformation of the damper present at the end of outrigger connected by perimeter columns. In this paper, a 300 m tall core-tube typ...
ABSTRACT The need to clean-up heavy metals that contaminate water cannot be over emphasized. This paper examined the kinetics of lead adsorption using activated rice husk ash. The influences of contact time, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature on adsorption were investigated. From the results obtained, by analyzing the effect of contact time, it was discovered that maximum adsorption of about 90 % removal efficiency took 240 minutes using 0.2g of adsorbent. While in testing for the effect of...

ABSTRACT The modification of a single-rotor cassava grater was undertaken. The singlerotor grater was modified into a double-rotor self-action grater and its performances evaluated by determining its throughput capacity and efficiency. The throughput capacity was determined by grating known quantities of cassava roots in three respective runs and the time taken to grate them measured from a stop watch. The efficiency of the machine was calculated from the quantity of roots grated and quantit...
ABSTRACT In this work, the results of the analysis of the NBC boiler plant using energetic and exergetic methods are presented. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effects of boiler rotary burner cup speed, oil nozzle size, excess air and fuel types on its performance and emissions with a view to identifying and quantifying components having greatest losses of energy and exergy efficiencies. Optimization of the boiler operating system is also carried out. The specific objective...
ABSTRACT Thin-walled box girder bridges are very efficient structural solution for long-span bridges because of their high torsional resistance, stability, economy, and aesthetic appearance. Though, this type of bridge is not common in Nigeria, it is envisaged that they may offer economic advantages in future high way projects in Nigeria. Analytically, however, the box girder bridge is a very complex indeterminate problem. Therefore, the primary objective of this research was to produce a r...
ABSTRACT Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology is the transfer mode for implementing a Broadband-Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN). ATM defines multiplexing and switching techniques for broadband signals. Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is employed in the B-ISDN backbone. The main objective of an ATM is to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) in transfer of cell streams across networks. This technology recommended as the transport vehicle for the B-ISDN offers a great fle...
