DESIGN OF INTELLIGENT NEURO-FUZZY BASED DOCUMENT RETREIVAL SYSTEM[ ]


As information grows rapidly over the web, it becomes difficult for researcher to find the information they are looking for. The rapid growth of information on the web and the inadequacy of the conventional search engines to retrieve relevant information based on user’s request have motivated this research. Tracking, classification and retrieval of documents required tools that could recognize patterns in data as well as process imprecise information. FL lacks the capability to learn from previous data and NN equally lacks the capability to handle imprecise and incomplete data. This makes Neuro-Fuzzy systems one of the best options for document tracking, as the weakness of Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network are complimented whilst the strength of the individual components are enhanced. This work extends earlier fuzzy IR models by adding more fuzzy linguistic values, fuzzy variables, using different membership functions, using rules that consider the document structure and optimizing the throughput using Nuero-fuzzy system. The document is quantified by describing it using features/linguistic variables that contribute most to its relevance to the query like the Lexical density, term weight, document similarity vector as well as word ratio. Linguistic values are assigned to each of these variables that associate them with membership degrees. Different membership functions were investigated for each of these linguistic variables and the best function was chosen for each variable which contributed the most to the IR precision. An ANFIS inference engine was built using the seugeno method that handle these variables to measure the degree of document relevance to the query. It was found that using ANFIS improved the performance slightly by some percentage over the FIS results.

EVALUATING THE WATER REPELLENT EFFECT OF RICE HUSK ASH IN HARDENED CONCRETE[ ]


Rice-husk-ash, a pozzolanic additive to concrete, has the potential of serving as a water repellent admixture in concrete, considering its very high amorphous silica content. In this work rice-husk was calcined at temperature range of 500oC to 600oC and the grey ash ground to fine powder passing BS sieve size of 0.075mm, and was used to prepare concretes containing different percentages of rice-husk-ash added to the mix by weight of the cement content. In the same vain a proprietary admixture, proprietary name: Water Seal, was used to prepare similar concrete cubes at same varying percentages of 0%, 2%, 4%, 7%, 10% and 12% as the rice-husk-ash, where zero percent served as the control. It was observed, in water absorption experiment; that at 6 to 7 days water immersion the cumulative weights of water absorbed by the various concrete cubes became constant for all cubes containing either rice-husk-ash or the proprietary water repellent admixture, with the quantity of water absorbed reducing with increase in the percentage admixture add for both admixtures. At 2% dosage of the admixtures, after 7 days of water immersion of the concretes, weights of water absorbed were 0.19kg and 0.25kg for concrete cubes containing rice-husk-ash and concrete cubes containing Water Seal, respectively; while the control absorbed 0.75kg of water. This is a reduction in water absorption of about 75%; with the concrete containing rice-husk-ash performing a little better. It was concluded that 2% rice-husk-ash addition to concrete by weight of cement content, which incidentally is the same quantity prescribed by the manufacturers of Water Seal for their product, would be appropriate for use of rice-husk-ash as alternative water repellent admixture in concrete. Rice-husk-ash was then recommended as a good water repellent admixture in concrete and can be used as alternative to most proprietary products at a dosage of 2% by weight of cement content.

Compressive strength and workability of concrete containing fly ash as partial replacement for cement content [ ]


Making concrete with fly ash as partial substitute for cement content has been a worldwide practice since 1930s. It helps to achieve better workmanship and general savings in the cost of material and labour. For this reason fly ash is regarded as a recovered resource. The engineering and economic value of fly ash is poorly appreciated by many engineers and economic decision makers in many countries. This study therefore embarked on rediscovering the pozzolanic features of fly ash by studying the compressive strength and workability of concrete containing fly ash as partial replacement for the cement content. Concrete cubes were cast with cement partially replaced with fly ash in the following percentages by weight of cement content of a grade 20 concrete that was used: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60%. The measured average 28-days compressive strengths and slumps, for the various percentage partial replacements, respectively, were: 21.3mm2 and 65mm for 0% , 24.3N/mm2 and 85mm for 10%, 22.8N/mm2 and 102mm for 20% , 18.9N/mm2 and 110mm for 30%, 17.7N/mm2 and 130mm for 40%, 15.5N/mm2 and 145mm for 50%, 14.4N/mm2 and 158mm for 60%. It was observed that the slump and average strength of the concretes containing fly ash increased and doubled that of zero percent, normal concrete. It was then concluded that fly ash should be gainfully used to substitute a part of the cement content of concrete up to 30% where ever fly ash is abundant.

Electrical Power System with Environmental sustainability[ ]


With A Critical Analysis and research on the Said subject, observation have pulled my attention, that Many have concentrated on the root causes, Some focus more on the consequences and others on the Solution. Generating, transmitting, distributing and utilizing Electricity with Environmental Sustainability and Affordability will tackle the three facets {the problem, the cause and the Solution}. Looking at the current state of the world globally, Electricity Generation in a greater measure is produced from fusil fuels sources, irrespective of its increase of carbon emission to our atmospheres. Whereas there are abundant natural sources which electricity can be harnessed? It seems to me that attention need to draw now to Governmental Authority, Generating companies, Scientific/engineering communities and to the entire human race on the suffice of the earth about the impacts of such electrical generating sources to Environmental sustainability and affordability. The contamination of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the past was 250ppm and presently it is estimated at about 411.97 ppm. As per the ―US Energy Information Administration‖ {EIA}, 2008 release; it will reach 450ppm by 2030. The spurt in the growth of Co2 is attributed to growing of fossil fuels –coal, oils and gas. The major consumers of these fossil fuels are electricity and automobiles. Electricity generation top the list.In this project I will be critically analyze how generating electricity from fusil-fuel had been destructive to our environment and how generating, transmitting and utilizing clean-green renewable electrical energies, smart Grid, promoting IEEE Smart village goals and UNESCO development sustainability Vision number ―Seven‖ can help reduce the effect of Global Warming and improve electricity generation, transmission, distribution and utilization with environmental sustainability, cheap and affordable energy.

An analysis of factors that impact a project budget during execution[ ]


Certain factors conspire to militate against the completion of a project at the budgeted cost. The aim of the study was to identify, rank and categorise the factors that impinge on a project budget during the implementation stage and to examine the relative importance of the identified factors. Based on an extensive literature review and discussions with industry practitioners, sixty-seven variables that impinge on a contractor’s project budget during the implementation stage were identified. The sixty-seven variables were then used to design the questionnaire for the research. The data obtained from the survey was subjected to statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The statistical t-test results showed that out of the sixty-seven risk factors, fifteen are significantly important. The testing of the research hypotheses has enabled those key potential risk factors that can wreak havoc on a construction project and thereby reduce a construction firm’s profit margin to be isolated. In doing so, construction firms can now focus their prevention strategies on those fifteen variables identified by this research. Effectively addressing the factors that have been identified would enable them to improve upon their cost control practices with a view to remaining profitable. In addition, the statistically significant findings of this research provide insight into several areas for future investigations.

A CASE STUDY ON MANAGING TROUBLE SHOOTING IN PRIMARY WATER SYSTEM IN 500 MW UNIT[ ]


Direct water cooling of stator windings has been common since the early 1960s. In general these windings have performed well, although as would be expected in any liquid systems involving many varied components, there have been problems with leaks, leaks both large and small. Perhaps less expected have been problems with copper oxide formation within the hollow copper strands which carry the water (as well as electrical current). Two types of oxide can be produced, cupric (a black compound, CuO) and cuprous (a red compound, Cu2O). Though copper is known as passive metal but under varying pH ranges coupled with different level of dissolved oxygen, there are different phenomenon which may occur in stator water system.
