Persisting power supply issues in Nigeria have recently stimulated reliance on hybrid renewable energy systems, especially considering their environmental benefits. Analyses of the power generation, economic and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction potentials of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for electricity supply to a bank branch were undertaken in this study, relying on the RETScreen energ
The shape of the columns can affect a structure's seismic resistance. A building's important structural and architectural components are columns. Seismic resistance requires lateral strength and stiffness. Architects and engineers commonly use L-shaped, T-shaped, and plus-shape for composite columns. The researchers assessed the capacity of irregular concrete columns under seismic stress circumsta
Aroids or Cocoyam are often referred to as "women's crops" because women dominate the value chain. Women are primarily responsible for producing, processing, and sales of this root plant, while ensuring a year-round supply. Aroids, i.e. taro (Colocasia esculenta) and tannia (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) are underutilized root crops in the tropical and subtropical regions of developing nations. In Nig
In the quest to develop sustainable materials locally for the drilling industry, the bentonitic potentials of two indigenous clays from Edikor and Ukukudung deposits were studied. The x-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques were used to characterize the beneficiated bentonitic clay samples. This was done to ascertain the chemica
In order to remove acid gases, chemical absorption by solvents is the most often used sweetening gas strategy. While this method is well-known and tested, it may be difficult to implement, expensive, and wasteful when used to extract very acidic gas. But novel polymeric membranes have been used to remove large amounts of H2S from natural gas, even at high levels of H2S. Recent advancements in this
A mixture of marble dust and periwinkle shells (achymelania Aurita) and a mixture of marble dust and snail (LanisterVariscus) shells were used to replace the conventional calcium carbonate (CaCO3) used for the production of classroom chalk. The bulk density for the crushed periwinkle shells and crushed snail shells at a particle size of ≤63μm were 1.14g/ml and 1.12 g/ml respectively. From the resu
