ABSTRACT Water is very important to living organism due to its enormous uses, but the alteration of the chemical parameters due to anthropogenic and natural activities pose a threat to plant and animal. In this regard, this study was carried out to investigate the chemical composition of Cross River Estuary Ifiayong. The analysis were carried…
ABSTRACT The study aimed at evaluating the Anti-nutrients composition of Jackfruit Rind, Pulp, Rag and Seed. The Jackfruit was purchased at Akpanadem Market, Aka Itiam Road, in Uyo Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Anti-nutrients composition was evaluated using standard methods. Jackfruit Rind was higher in Oxalate (7.46 ± 0.028) and Tannin (3.637 ±…
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to determine the level of some trace metals in water leaf (Talinum triangulare) from a dump site and to assessed the implications to human health if consumed. The sample for the study was collected from Ikot Osurua village in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)…
ABSTRACT Water can be defined as a colourless transparent, odourless liquid that forms seas, lakes, rivers and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms. Basically, there are two sources of water supply which is found on the surface of the earth, while groundwater is found in well. Rural water supply is…
ABSTRACT The stabilization of soil is important in construction of foundation and highways as it improve the engineering properties of soil like compressibility and shear strength in the experiment result obtained in the laboratory on expansive soil treated with low cost materials (quarry dust) are presented. A study is carried out to check the improvement…
ABSTRACT Soil sampling and testing is one of the most important steps to attain success in construction project. Soil testing provides information on type of soil, bearing capacity of soil Test such as liquid limit, plastic limit, atterbergs, compaction, plastic index test and differential free swell test are done for testing the suitability and stability…
ABSTRACT This study comprises quality of different Brands of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).Three brands of Portland cement commonly available in Nigeria were investigated through series of tests conducted to determine their strength characteristics, setting time, soundness, workability and fineness among others and examine if they meet the minimum standard as stipulated by the British Standard…
ABSTRACT During the pre-independence of the building culture in Nigeria, laterite were mainly used for making blocks which were accurate durable and accessible enough for them to meet their housing needs. One of the aim and objective of this project is to determine the compressive strength of concrete cubes. The sample was collected from Julius…
ABSTRACT This project work on installation of 5KVA solar inverter to power a building. The solar panel brings down (DC) voltage cause it directly from the sun, then the inverter convert the (DC) voltage to (AC) voltage. In this project the battery used are up to 48V that i.e. each of the solar battery has…
