Design and Implementation of Motor Licensing System

ABSTRACT The project titled “ Design and Implementation of Motor Licensing System” deals with underwriting of claims in issuing motor vehicle license. The aim and objective of this project is to develop a computer –based system that will allow license information to be efficiently kept in the database of the organization and issue receipt Online.   Also, to eliminate all problems associated with existing manual method of processing. CHAPTER ONE  Introduction……………………�...

Data Recovery

ABSTRACT The aim of this seminar paper is to examine data recovery and its security measures in computer systems. It is aimed at threating recovery data loss in hand device, hard drive failure, data corruption or accidental deleting of files. Unfortunately, despite of constantly growing reliability of storage devices, loss of digital information remains a common phenomenon. General causes of data loss include hardware or software failures, power cuts, software malfunctions (including computer...

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF VIBRO CHOLERAE 0139 INFECTION

INTRODUCTION Cholera is an acute bacterial infection of the intestine caused by ingestion of food or water containing Vibrio cholerae, serogroups  O139, it  is a disease characterized by profuse diarrhea accompanied with a severe dehydration and loss of electrolyte (Colwell and Huq, 1994), caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae, a serologically diverse, environmental, and gram-negative rod bacterium (Li et al.,2002). In the absence of appropriate treatment, there is a high mortality rate. Cho...

BACTERIOCIN IN FOOD PRESERVATION

INTRODUCTION In the production of food, it is crucial to take proper measures to ensure its safety and stability during the shelf-life. At present, many food industries are faced with different microbiological problems such as emergence of new pathogens and pathogens not previously associated withfood consumption, as well as the ability of microorganism to adapt and its resultant mutation that has given rise to altered food safety (Galvez et al., 2007). The empirical use of microorganism...

DRUGS DISCOVER FROM SOIL MICROORGANISMS

1.0 INTRODUCTION Back in 1928, Alexander Fleming began the microbial drug era when he discovered in a Petri dish seeded with Staphylococcus aureus that a compound produced by a mold killed the bacteria. The mold, identified as Penicillium notatum, produced an active agent that was named penicillin. Later, penicillin was isolated as a yellow powder and used as a potent antibacterial compound during World War II. By using Fleming’s method, other naturally occurring substances, such as chl...

CHARACTERISTICS OF POLLUTED SANDS A CASE STUDY IN NIGER DELTA (REVIEW)

ABSTRACT This study is aimed at using the characteristics of polluted soil to delineate different soil layers and deduce ways of providing remediation to the problems generated as a result of soil pollution using Electrical Resistivity Method. An inversion of the measured apparent resistivity values using a computer program was carried out to determine the true subsurface resistivity. This method was used to estimate the lateral and vertical extend to which a particular soil has been conta...

SEISMIC TIME-LAPSE RESERVOIR MONITORING

Time lapse seismic which geophysicists often abbreviate to four dimensional (4-D) seismic is a geophysical technique which involves simply repeating a series of 3-D seismic survey over time such that the fourth dimension is in “Calendar Time”. This gives it the ability to image fluid flow in a well volume.

FIBRE OPTIC IN RESERVOIR SENSING

Fibre optic technologies came out of military and space research and development programme. Until recently, glass chemistry and laser interrogation hardware have not been at a level of robust where systems could survive in down-hole environments for long periods. Because of the physical properties, glass can thrive as a sensor at extremely high temperatures and efficiently high temperatures and efficiently transmit large quantities of data where as in the past, one may have been limited to a ...

SEISMIC CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHY: PROSPECTS IN PETROLEUM EXPLORATION

Seismic survey has long become a trusted tool for hydrocarbon exploration. This is because of the outstanding ability of seismic reflections and their over lapping relationships to image deep and shallow subsurface structures and delineate promising structural and stratigraphic traps. These subsurface features become good prospecting targets, maybe because of their depositional history or post depositional events. With this in mind, it is necessary to draw out relationships between deposition...

Forensic Geophysics: Geophysical Techniques and Applications

Forensic geophysics can be seen as that involving the use of geophysical methods in the search, locating and mapping of hidden or buried features underground or underwater. Geophysical methods have the potential to aid the search and recovery of a target because they can nondestructively and rapidly investigate large areas where a suspect, illegal burial or, in general, a forensic target or object is hidden in the subsurface.

REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS AT IKOT NAKANDA, AKPABUYO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA

Geophysical field school is an annual academic camping exercise that is aimed at exposing students to the practical aspects of geophysics. It is a three (3) credit hour course for third year students of applied geophysics aimed at educating students on the handling of geophysical equipment and the rudiments of data acquisition, processing and interpretation. This year’s field school was held at Ikot Nakanda and its environs, in Akpabuyo locall government area of Cross River State. It w...

Design and implementation of Mobile Banking

1.0Background to the Study The internet is an integral part of our daily lives, and the proportion of the people who are expected to be able to manage their bank account anywhere, anytime is constantly growing. As such, internet mobile banking has come of age as a crucial component of any financial institution’s multichannel strategy. Internet mobile banking uses mobile phone with internet facility as the delivery channel to conduct banking activities like transferring funds, paying bills, ...

EARTHQUAKE MONITORING AND SENSING IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT This study reviews earthquake monitoring and sensing in Nigeria. The techniques used to monitor earthquakes include seismic, Global position system (GPS) and remote sensing methods. For now there is no scientific method of predicting earthquakes, but seismologists depend on the anomalous animal behaviour, radon emissions, trends, creep fault, drop/rise in the water level and anomalous plant behaviour for earthquake prediction. The study also revealed that Nigeria is not seismically f...
