CHAPTER ONE   INTRODUCTION Fruits are part of a plant that houses  seeds or flesh covering of nuts or succulent they are pulpy in character often juice and since they develop from flowers of plants they consist of the ripened seed or seeds with some edible tissue attached    ( Iheoronye and Ngoddy 1985). Fruits are also plant parts which... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT An important aspect of general quality assurance program for brachytherapy dosimetry is source calibration. Vendors assign large uncertainties of up to ±10 % for the stated source calibrated values. It is thus important to check the vendor stated calibration. There are three main methods of calibrating brachytherapy sources and they are... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A prototype of hydraulically operated coconut oil extractor was designed and fabricated. The machine can be used for other oil-bearing seeds such as groundnut and palm kernel. The machine is made up of a plunger, ram disc, expression chamber, and electric heater. The extractor can process 10kg coconut per hour. An efficiency of 15% was... Continue Reading
