ABSTRACT Most of the fish marketed throughout Nigeria are in either smoked or dried form. The technological requirement for other forms of preservation like chilling and freezing cannot be afforded by the small scale fisher men. Considerable quantities of fish processed for distant consumer markets are lost at handling, processing, storage and marketing stages. Significant losses occur through infestation by mites, insects, fungal infection and fragmentation during transportation. However, with ...

ABSTRACT Since independence in 1960, notable works of Nigerian architecture scholars and practitioners have been recorded, but practically little progress has been made in the area of architectural knowledge documentation. Architectural knowledge encompasses a vast array of ideas, which are basically classified into architectural theory, history, criticism, technology, environmental conditions, and these (subcategories) culminate in the material culture of a people. This research focuses on architectural history. In Nigeria, non-scripting ...

ABSTRACT Space  adaptability  and  flexibility  as  they  say,  is  one  of the  most  important principles  of sustainable  architecture.  The  importance  of this  notion  cannot  be overemphasized  because of the present need for sustainability in our time.  It is for this reason that this design proposal was initiated.  The relevance of adaptable space is that it not only allows us to fit our different  activities  in one space but also to ...

ABSTRACT Globally,   healthcare   systems   are  experiencing   increasing   fiscal  demographic   and consumer pressure. There have been metamorphic changes in the recent past in terms of healthcare delivery.  The planning,  design and final architectural expression in health care is reflective of the gradual shift in outlook of healthcare institutions from merely treating the sick to a concerted approach to harness healthy living. This has been triggered by globalization,  increased expectations of seekers ...

ABSTRACT Research as this thesis is concerned and to other areas in particular, plays   a   very   important   role   in   improvement   in   all   facts   of   life. Improvements in industry, communication, education and other aspects of science even in agriculture.  Started largely from research.  For instance the exploitation of minerals both in the sea, the earth’s crust and moon even other outer space exploration could not have been possible without research. Before ...

ABSTRACT “A Library is a repository of various forms of recorded information, as well  as  a  collection  of  data  in  many  formats.”  (Metu  A.  1987).  The  design proposal is a consequence  of an investigation into the emerging concern about energy efficiency of buildings, the recent advances in information technology and their attending consequences on the planning and architecture of the future library. Demographic data and an understanding of the development ...

ABSTRACT One  of the  main  goals  of this  study  is  to  provide   a  comfortable   study environment.  The quest for comfortable useable  and livable space is the reason for the creation of a new field in science called "Thermal Comfort". The global problems of Architectural models of Hot and Dry tropical environment can best be addressed by the introduction of passive control systems for thermal comfort.  The  question  becomes:  how  much ...

ABSTRACT: Every decision that architects, engineers, builders, and homeowners  make about the design and operation  of their buildings  carries with  it  an energy  cost,  and all energy  costs  in tum  have environmental costs. For example, changing the orientation of a window, or the colour of the roof, or  adding  a  sun  control  will  change  the  amount  of electricity  it uses  for  lighting  and  air conditioning.   Passive design;  an idea within ...

ABSTRACT In Public Housing Estates in Enugu, outdoor spaces within residential areas are not planned or designed with due considerations for the social, economic and cultural requirements of residents. This is always evident by the haphazard and chaotic nature of the residential outdoor spaces which are predominantly occupied by the middle income residents in the housing estates. No prior empirical studies have been carried out to determine such outdoor users’ ...

ABSTRACT Performing  arts   centre,   a   place   of   entertainment,   where   actors perform live  music,  dance,  drama,  etc.  to  an   audience  on  stage.  A major  research  consideration on  blending  Igbo   cultural  symbolism with   contemporary   architecture.    The  research   was   necessitated because        of         the        .ncreas.ng         absence        of         cultural undertone/considerations     and    its     symbols    m     our     national architectural  designs,  thereby  speaking less of  the  people's culture and values.  This   research  seeks to  integrate  cultural  symbols  and ...

ABSTRACT The environmental contribution of the built environment to man  cannot be treated with a lames leg as the total man is a sum total of his environment; this is so because the environment moulds man, just as man moulds his environment. The spaces man creates to serve a particular function must be adaptable and sustainable since there is a chronological  and a continuous order in life. Space adaptability is ...

ABSTRACT The abattoir as  a meat processing industry world-wide  is saddled with the responsibility of maintaining good standards of hygiene in terms of its operation and waste management. Wastes are generated in diverse forms  in abattoirs, these include, solid or semi-solid wastes, liquid wastes and gases.  If these effluents  or  contaminants  are not adequately and efficiently managed, the  negative  impact on the residential environs and human health cannot be overemphasized. ...

ABSTRACT Research  has  shown  that  the  popularization  of  plastic  bottles  in  Bottling  Industries  has remained  on  the  increase  since  middle  of  1960’s,  when  high-density  polyethylene  was introduced. They quickly became popular with both manufacturers and customers due to their lightweight nature and relatively low production costs compared with glass bottles. Except for wine or beer, the food industry has almost completely replaced glass with plastic bottles. Despite  this  innovation,  there ...

Abstract The study is about assessment of the application of total Quality Management in Building Maintenance Operations. The research was birthed as a result of concern about the state of neglect which most public and private buildings are subjected to, those few maintained are also not effective in performance as a result of wrong approach, the study thus present systematic approach  through which quality of maintenance operations being carried out ...

Abstract Building materials played an important role in the Property development. It includes those materials put together in erecting or constructing structures, development is not conceivable without their use. The cost of building materials poses a significant threat to both the construction industry and people aspiring to own houses and that many projects were not completed on time due to the cost of materials, which have been on the increase. ...

ABSTRACT  This project is purposely for determining the effects of delay and disruption on the cost of building construction project in Nigeria, ascertaining the cost, which aim at x-raying unnecessary delay and disruption in the normal processes of procuring and prosecuting building and civil engineering construction work at both pre-contract and post contract stages of construction. The factors that usually call for these delay and disruption in construction projects of ...
