ABSTRACT At the event of soil erosion, rain splash erosion supplies materials for subsequent transportation and entrainment. The influence of rainfall duration on splash produced from a loamy sand soil in Camp area of Abeokuta, Ogun State was studied in the laboratory using a laboratory rainfall simulator. The study area is always subject to... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE    1.0  INTRODUCTION  The construction of structure on weak ground often requires the soil to be improved in order to ensure the safety and the stability of surrounding buildings. The ground improvement in granular soils can be achieved by different methods such as vibro-floatation, compaction piles, and compaction with... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF STUDY Wastes are everywhere. These substances are unpleasant to see and also bring harmful effects to our health and environment. Example of this waste is the manure of the animals like the cow. Cow dung causes a problem when these are just leave behind the sidewalks streets or in an open field. If these... Continue Reading

This research work was carried out to determine the effects of three organic fertilizers namely: cattle dung, poultry droppings and pig excreta on the growth of fingerlings of clarias gariepinus. A total of 120 fingerlings of average length (15.3+2.10) cm and weight (34.2+8.73)g were used for the study.  Table oc content Chapter one  Chapter... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research was carried out to determine the effects of three organic fertilizers namely: cattle dung, poultry droppings and pig excreta on the growth of fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus. A total of 120 fingerlings of average length (15.3±2.10)cm and weight (34.2±8.73)g were used for the study. The fingerlings were subjected to three... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Agro-based and bio-wastcs generally referred to as solid wastes are good stabilization materials. Different solid wastes have been used by various researchers combining two or more at different times to treat soil and improve its engineering properties since the long term performance of any construction project depends on the soundness of...

ABSTRACT Contamination of existing and potential agricultural lands is a major problem associated with the processing and distribution of crude and refined petroleum products in many oil producing countries like Nigeria. Hydrocarbon contaminants in soil are potentially phytotoxic to plants and interfere with plant establishment and growth as well... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) often known as common nettle is an herbaceous perennial   flowering plant on the family of urticiae. The plant originated from colder region Europe and   Asia. In Kenya the plant is grown in many part including Nero, Laikipia, Embu, Meru, Narok   and in the slope of Mt Kenya. The plant is grown for its... Continue Reading

Soil organic matter is the decomposed and partially decomposed remains of plants and animals in the soil and this help in nutrient recycling. This work evaluated the effect of compost types on various organic carbon fractions and microaggregation. Soil samples collected at 0-20 cm depth were analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC), free...

ABSTRACT Two experiments were conducted. The first evaluated beef smoked using different plant materials ( Acacia raddiana, Eucalyptus camaldutensis, Azadirachta indica  and  Cocos nucifera ) as source of smoke. The effect of the plant materials on the organoleptic, microbial and physicochemical properties of smoked beef was evaluated. In the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Since early 1995 when pressure was mounted on the Raw Materials Research and development council in Nigeria, with a  view to sourcing wire, flux and binder locally, little or no success has been recorded. As at 1998,allthe raw materials including core wire for electrode manufacture in Nigeria were still being imported. The aim of this... Continue Reading

Abstract Anthropogenic activities can destroy or drastically reduce the organic carbon contents of soils. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two land use management practices (arable land and oil palm land), soil depth and topography on soil organic carbon contents. The study was carried out in Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria.... Continue Reading
