Abstract: From past we know that construction safety is a big issue because of it is not safe for both environment as well as health. Benefit of EHS (Environment Health and Safety) programs is to preventing incidents such as injuries, illnesses, hazards and other harmful effects, because these hazards are real. The EHS management first introduce in 1985, the main reason behind this why it is started? Because of incidents such as Bhopal disaster (1984), and Seveso disaster (1976). General concepts of the Environmental Health and Safety management has risen in 1990s. Therefore, Health and safety is an important parameter in construction sites, and this industry is prone to hazardous situations and illness and can be dangerous at any times according to a report 3% of all construction workers in the UK sustain a work-related injury and around 4% ae suffering from work related illness. In today modern age of technology as we know that health and safety is core component of any organization, Normally EHS is the collection of processes, rules and laws which aim to protect environment and human resources and provide them adequate safety against any site hazard. EHS Program help to identify risk conditions, train workers, and control hazard at workplace. Apart from that it provides a solid track how can work safely? And how to analyze the risk. Construction industry has the largest number of injuries and illness as compared to other industries. So that it is important to analyze the risk. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the hazard and why EHS is important? Data for this study were collected using site visit, and web survey. During the site visit I found that this type of hazard occurs due to lack of awareness, poor safety awareness, poor framework for EHS, and lack of knowledge And the outcome of this study can help in construction industry, managers to prepare proper safety plans, and analyze why EHS program is an integral part for construction industry. Because EHS program deal with the awareness and to train the workers so that risk free environment and work can be generate.

Abstract: In this a concept aimed on the removal of inactive satellite (debris) from outer space based on a mechanism propelled using an ion thruster with a solar sail combination. There is a lot of space junk surrounding the earth. This junk can be harmful for other satellites and future manned missions to space. Hence, clearing this space junk is necessary.

The mechanism will be launched from earth and can be monitored and controlled from earth. It will have a robotic arm, that will be used to lock on to a decommissioned satellite or some other space junk and it will be hurled into the earth’s atmosphere, where it will burn up. This mechanism will be propelled by an ion thruster in combination with a solar sail. This will be helpful in removing debris from outer space.

Keywords: solar sail, satellites, earth’s atmosphere.

Abstract: Goal of this project is to navigate the visually impaired people. Differently abled people like visually impaired face many challenges for navigation and identifying human. The existing system used ultrasonic sensor for navigation but failed to identify human. So it is necessary to develop a system that identify both object and human. The proposed system makes use of Kinect sensor to identify both object and human. Picture is taken as a contribution from the camera present in the Kinect sensor. Kinect sensor catches picture and profundity data from the encompassing and transmits profundity information to the PC program. At that point, the PC programming will process this picture information and changes over it into significant sound notice. At long last, the PC sends this data to the client through headphones.

Keywords: Kinect sensor; visually impaired; human identification.

Abstract: This research aims to investigate the effect of free lime and lime saturation factor on grindability of cement clinker. Cement is a powdered substance that develops strong adhesive and cohesive properties when mixed with water. Cement production involves a number of processes, these include; Preparation of raw materials, production of clinker, preparation of cement and its packaging. Clinker formed as a result of heating of well blended raw materials that undergo a chemical transformation inside the kiln. The methodology of this research work, are; 10g samples of clinker were collected on the apron conveyor chute with liter weights, (table 2.1), the weighted samples (10g) of clinker were milled and pelletized with the aid of pyridine and binding agent. The pelletized samples were subjected to XRF/XRD machine using thermo fisher analysis. They were done to determine the mineralogical compositions of the clinker samples and their respective elemental oxides. The result of the clinker minerals are; C₃S (Tri calcium silicate), C₂S (Di calcium silicate), LSF (Lime Saturation Factor) and other elemental oxide (table 2.2). However each of the sample were subjected to grinding for 40 minute using ball mill after adding 5% gypsum, these was done to determine the energy required to grind the clinker sample, and fineness was determined for each using the Blaine cell and air permeability apparatus (table 2.3). Correlation and regression analysis (statistical method) were applied on these results (table 2.4), the implication of the results shows there increase in energy requirement as FCaO (free lime) and LSF (lime saturation factor) increase in the clinker samples, there is also increase in energy requirement with the increase in Blaine (fineness). Therefore thus a clinker with low free lime would be grinded more easily than with high free lime, and also implies that the high the LSF and hence the harder the clinker to grind.

Abstract: The adverse effect of produced water on oil inflow rate and downhole production system cannot be over emphasis. The challenge posed by it is felt both at the upstream and downstream. This is due to the reversed in the function of the reservoir pressure in driving the produced fluids to the surface. Wiggin’s model for multiphase was reviewed and used to analyse the inflow performance relationship curves results obtained from the simulation of production data of oil well 1 and 2. The IPR generated in the presence of water in the inflow stream was further investigated by remodeling wiggin’s model on Execl program (figure 1). From the simulation, the absolute open flows (AOF) for well 1 were 5576.2 bbl/d and 3771.4 bbl/d for multiphase and single phase respectively (Figure 2). Similarly, well 2 have 9736.1 bbl/d and 7612.4 bbl/d (AOF’s) for multiphase and single phase flow respectively (figure 3). The investigation method show more oil production based on the improved IPR curves (figures 6 and 7) obtained as a result of modeling the bottomhole flowing pressure in inverse assumption in the presence of water in the inflow stream using.

Keywords: wellbore, productivity index, inflow relationship performance (IPR), Absolute open flow and multiphase.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to minimize the customer lead time of Royalty by Nanasei through the use of lean process improvement methodology. This study utilized a mixed method approach and a descriptive case study research design. Data was collected through administered questionnaires from three hundred and eighty-four (384) existing customers of the company alongside with semi-structured interviews from selected personnel from Royalty by Nanasei. The findings indicated that average customer lead time was 11.87 days and majority of customers expected their clothing to be ready within 5 working days on average. The paper established through a proposed future state value stream mapping that, with the use of information technology, the company could complete a single garment between a timeframe of 16 hours 33 minutes to 22 hours 33 minutes (less than a day). The paper recommends that the company should develop relationships with local suppliers that can deliver fabrics and materials much more quickly and hassle-free than its employees going to town to purchase them. The study also recommends that, the company should create an online portal enabling customers to place their orders as well as feedbacks on lead-times and payments.

Abstract: This paper will establish a relationship between Sustainable Chemistry and the Triple Bottom Loop concept. This concept presents that the sustainability factors; Environment(Planet), Economic(Profit) and Equity(People) should operate in a symbiotic relationship with feedback effects. The paper recommends that organisations should see sustainability as a continuous process and not like a start to finish project. Examples of how sustainable chemistry has delivered a Triple Bottom Loop was included using the process of brewing beer. This process generates a waste called Brewery Spent Grain (BSG). This waste has been tested to be nutritious and of valuable characteristics and thus it is not disposed but rather put into several uses of economic and environmental benefits like animal feed, ingredient for bread and biscuit, brick and paper manufacture.

Furthermore, the sustainability factors should be integrated as in a Venn diagram and not as being of unequal contribution or importance as portrayed by nested dependencies  This way, organisations, societies and individuals can achieve a 360 degree effectiveness.

Abstract: Principal Component Analysis is one of the most successful techniques that have been used in image recognition. The purpose of PCA is to reduce the large dimensionality of the data space to the smaller dimensionality of the feature space. The proposed paper presents a face recognition algorithm based on modular PCA. It provides improved recognition rate for face images with large variations. The variations may be with respect to the lighting, direction and facial expression. In the Modular PCA approach original face images are divided into sub images and then the PCA approach is applied to each of these sub images.

Keywords: Face recognition, Illumination variation, facial expression, pose invariance, PCA , Modular PCA.

Abstract: To accurately estimate oil and gas reserves, plan for the development of the field, it requires a sound knowledge of engineers to adequately predict the performance of the reservoir since nobody can enter the reservoir to actually tell it content and behavior. It is therefore imperative to note that whatever result obtained from such prediction, must be within reasonable engineering tolerance of error. This implies that its success will depend solely on the accurate description of the reservoir rock properties, fluid properties, rock-fluid properties and flow performance. In the study, Tarner’s, Tracy’s and Schilthuis methods of reservoir performance prediction using material balance techniques was adopted to predict the performance of XY reservoir. Hence, after performing several iterations, the results obtained with Tracy’s and Schilthius’ methods indicate a closeness with the XY reservoir performance prediction at 2870 psia, which is an indication that either Tracy’s or Schilthuis method can be used to predict the XY reservoir performance at lower pressures as the reservoir declines.

Keywords: performance predictions, oil production, gas production, gas-oil ratio, reserves, material balance, rock properties, fluid properties.

Abstract: Biological processes have been used to remove environmental pollutants like heavy metals and hydrocarbons through the process of Bioremediation. Bioremediation can either be ex-situ or in-situ depending on the requirement of the condition. Industrialization and urbanization has been a major cause for the increase in the number pollutants in the soil. The research was aimed at quantifying the combined activities of Pseudomonas species isolated from rice fields in reducing the amount of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr and Cd). The research covered three senatorial districts of Benue State Nigeria (Zone A; Katsina-Ala and Zakibiam. Zone B; Gboko and Aper. Zone C; Otukpo and Ugbokolo). The samples were treated with the bacteria isolated at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. The results obtained were expressed in simple percentage which showed that the organism has the highest activity at 48 hours with 100% efficacy of Pb and in Zone A. In Zone B, Cr and Ni were degraded at 100% while Zone C has Pb and Cr degraded at 100%. The lowest heavy metal degradation was observed in Zone A at 17.31%, Zone B at 21.74% and Zone C at 25.49%. The findings in this study show that a combined effect of three Pseudomonas species has the best activity on the removal of heavy metals from polluted soils at 48 hours incubation period.
