Tackling Time and Cost Overrun in Infrastructure Projects: A case study of selected projects in Lagos and Environs[Full-Text ]
USMAN, Philemon Gidanmana

The construction industry is one of the fastest growing industries in Nigeria and it contributes a lot to the country's economy. But majority of construction projects are hampered by the twin effects of time and cost overruns. The success of a construction project depends on many factors with time and cost factors being the most crucial, because project success largely depends on its timely completion and within specified budget. If time and cost are properly managed on a construction project, it will achieve its objectives and success.

WEB PAGE RECOMMENDATION WITH KEYWORD BASED ON HIERARCHICAL MODEL USING ASSOCIATION LINK NETWORK (ALN)[Full-Text ]
Ms. Sonali Lingayat, Mr. Hirendra Hazare

To establish an associated relation among various resources, an association link network is designed by extending the hyperlink network to an association-rich network. The resources are available on the Web in the form of loosely connected network of no semantics which get organized by association link network to provide web intelligent services such as web browsing, web knowledge discovery, publishing etc.

Analysis of Diseased Leaf Images using Digital Image Processing Techniques and SVM Classifier and Disease Severity Measurements using Fuzzy Logic[Full-Text ]
Alakananda Mukherjee

Potato constitutes one of the most widely grown crops in India. Productivity of potato decreases due to infections caused by various types of diseases on its fruit and leaf. Diseases are a major factor limiting crop production and they are often difficult to control. So, early detec-tion of the plant diseases is critical to avoid losses in the yield and quality of the agricultural products. Studies of plant diseases have been widely researched to detect abnormality in plant growth using visually observable patterns on the plant. Plant monitoring and disease de-tection is needed to ensure sustainability in agriculture
