This project presents a comparison of milling cutting path strategies for thin-walled aluminum alloys fabrication. To search for more efficient cutting path strategies for thin-walled parts, an interactive process planning and analyzing method is introduced. Several rigid combinations of machining parameters are examined based on the evaluation of surface finish, thickness accuracy and machining time in the visual charts. In order to obtain the best cutting path strategy, MasterCam X MR2 software have been used to utilize the cutting path for machining thin-walled aluminum alloy parts into CNC end milling machine. The resulting of cutting path strategies is solved by experimental method. From the experiment, it was found that true spiral is the best machining strategy in term of thickness accuracy but lack of surface roughness when compared to other machining strategies. Not only the best surface roughness was observed for parallel spiral strategy but also the machining time was significantly better.
Keywords: CNC milling machine, MasterCam, thin-walled aluminum alloy.

CdSxTe1-x films were deposited on titanium and conducting glass substrates at different temperatures in the range of 30 to 90°Cusing Brush Plating technique. The as deposited films exhibited hexagonal structure irrespective of the composition. The FWHM maximum of the peaks were found to decrease with increase of duty cycle. Optical absorption studies were made on the films of different composition deposited at 80°C on conducting glass substrates. The band gap was found to vary from 1.44 eV to 2.41 eV as the percentage of CdTe decreased. EDAX measurements were made on the films of different composition heat treated at 550°C. The magnitude of the resistivity varies from 14.9 ohm cm to 10.4 ohm cm as the CdS concentration decreases from 1 to 0. The decrease in resistivity is due to decrease of tellurium vacancies or increase of depth of donor level associated with the tellurium vacancy, similar to the case of CdSTe films.

Women are almost help of the adult population. They constitute one-third of labour force but consume two-third of words. Working hours and yet earn only one tenth of the income and own only one percent of world properly (United Nations 1975). The prosperity and growth of a Nation depend on the Status and devt. Of its women as they not only constitute nearly half of its population but also influence growth of the remaining half of the population. The crucial role of women in agriculture, allied occupations and house hold activities have however been under estimated and undervalued in Assam.In Assam women play a significant and crucial role in agriculture devt. And allied fields including crop production livestock production, horticulture post harvesting operations agro/social forestry fishing Tea planting etc. The nature and extent of women’s involvement in agriculture vary greatly from regions to regions. Even in the region, their involvement varies widely among different ecological, sub-zones forming system caste, classes and socio-economic status of families etc. Although with same problems of women’s today they contribute a lot of the state’s economy like men. Women participation in agriculture is adversely affected by modern method of women and shrinking of their activities. Modernization of agriculture has provided women with better income earning opportunities in same areas, but as displaced them from their traditional roles in others.

Paper Title :: Direct Integration and Work Principle as New Approach in Bending Analyses of Isotropic Rectangular Plates
Author Name :: O. M.Ibearugbulem ||L. O.Ettu||J. C. Ezeh

Paper Index :: :09.1913/023028036
Following the work of Timoshenko &Woinowsky–Krieger(1959) and subsequent researchers, the traditional approaches in analysis of isotropic rectangular plates has been to assume a differential continuous shape function and to employ strain energy and variational principles. Theseapproaches are grossly limited by the difficulty in assuming suitable shape functions, especially for young structural analysts. A new approach to bending analysis of rectangular plates is presented in this paper. Unlike the traditional approaches that first of all assume a shape function, the shape function in this new approach is obtained by direct integration of the governing differential equation for isotropic rectangular plates. This shape function is in the form of Taylor series in two dimensions.Also, rather than the strain energy and variational principles of the traditional approaches, the plate analysis in this new approach is by the simple principle of equilibrium of works performed by the action (load) and resistance (plate),through which equations for deflection and bending moments are obtained. The maximum deflection at the center of SSSS plateand the maximum bending moment in X-direction obtained by this new approach compare favourably with those fromTimoshenko &Woinowsky–Krieger(1959) for aspect ratios from 1.0 to 2.0 at 0.1 increments. It is therefore, recommended that this new approach could be more easily and better used for the analysis of isotropic rectangular plates.

Recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT) and wireless sensor networks have made new trends to merge in irrigation practice. Irrigation practice has been considered to be one of the most water consumers in the world today. Proper management of water irrigation is more needed now for sustainable productivity and improvement of water use efficiency of rice crop. Studies show that the appropriate level of water contribute to the quality of rice grains and affects the incidence of pests and diseases, weed population and availability of nutrients in the soil hence the need for efficient and automated irrigation systems, which can irrigate plants to a desired level and supply those plants with just the amount of water required for normal uptake plant growth. The paper presents an automated irrigation system based on supervisory control and wireless communication. Monitoring and control of water level in the rice cropping irrigation which represents an important input on water conservation and improved efficiency in rice production is realised. The benefit of this design is extended to fertilizer and/ or chemical applications.

Kurigram Sadar Upazila is one of the under developing upaliza’s of Bangladesh which is occupied by 0.25 million people of an area of 265.75sq. Km.; the main occupation is farming where living about 40,000 farmers. This upazila produces about 1, 500000 Kg/month solid waste but still has not got any declared waste disposal site. This is creating major threat to the environment, high risk to human health, plants and animals. To get rid of it few soil samples of the studied area have been collected for geotechnical analysis to determine the best sites and out of eight sites four sites have been chosen for waste disposal. Mogalbachha has been preferred (out of eight sites) as a waste treatment site from all aspects. Considering the massive volume of the waste, type of waste, quantity, main occupation and degree of development of the area has been proposed that, this upazila is ideal for ‘Waste to Organic Fertilizer’ project. Still the agriculture sector is mainly chemical-based which degraded the natural resources, particularly soils, polluted surface and groundwater resources. Lately, organic-based agricultural production is a rapidly emerging technology, which has been applied allover the world and becomes profitable, popular and environmental friendly. In this research the best combination and procedure of organic waste has been proposed from all aspects. Applying this proposal government will be able to provide free of cost organic fertilizer to all the farmers of the upazila, don’t have to pay subsidy on fertilizer, creates some job opportunity and make profit about 3, 00, 00,000 taka yearly.

The paper presents an automated irrigation system based on supervisory control and wirelesWomen have been successful in breaking their confinement within the limits of their homes by entering into varied kinds of professionals and services women entrepreneurs have proved to be on par with their men counterparts in business acumen and are emerging as smart and dynamic entrepreneurs. Women owned businesses are highly increasing in the economies of almost all countries. The hidden entrepreneurial potentials of women have gradually been changing with the growing sensitivity to the role and economic status in the society. Skill, knowledge and adaptability in business are the main reasons for women to emerge into business ventures. „Women Entrepreneur‟ is a person who accepts challenging role to meet her personal needs and become economically independent. The state of Tamilnadu is the industrially developing area in which some of the entrepreneurs excel in small scale industry. Even though the government organizes women by various associations, they are not ready to undertake the business. As compared to men, women are less motivated to start business units due to some unwanted fear, lack of motivation and kind of activities. Thus, the study aims at undertaking the entrepreneurial development among women highlights their motivational forces and relationship between socio-economic background of women entrepreneurs, motivational factors and their existing entrepreneurial traits.

This paper presents the implementation of the unrestricted grammar in to recursively enumerable language for JFLAP platform. Automata play a major role in compiler design and parsing. The class of formal languages that work for the most complex problems belongs to the set of Recursively Enumerable Language (REL).RELs are accepted by the type of automata as Turing Machine. Turing Machines are the most powerful computational machines and are the theoretical basis for modern computers. Turing Machine works for all classes of languages including regular language, CFL as well as Recursive Enumerable Languages. Unrestricted grammar are much more powerful than restricted forms like the regular and context free grammars. In facts, unrestricted grammars corresponds to the largest family of languages so we can hope to recognize by mechanical means; that is unrestricted grammars generates exactly the family of recursively enumerable languages. Turing Machine is used to implementation of unrestricted grammar & RELs for JFLAP platform. JFLAP is most successful and widely used tool for visualizing and simulating all types of automata.

A fast and energy-efficient multiplier is always needed in electronics industry especially digital signal processing, image processing and arithmetic units in microprocessor. Multipliers are such an important elements which contributes to the total power consumption of the system. Multipliers of various bit-widths are always required in VLSI from processors to application specific integrated circuits (ASICs).In this paper, design of two different array multipliers are presented, one by using Carry Select Adder using BEC logic for addition of partial product terms and another by introducing Carry Select Adder using D-latch logic in partial product lines. The multipliers described in this paper were all modelled using HSPICE for 4-bit data. The comparison is done on the basis of three performance parameters i.e.total Area, delay, Power consumption and power-delay product. To design an efficient integrated circuit considering f area, power and speed, has become a challenging task in modern VLSI design field.

Paper Title :: Structural Design of Frozen Ground Works For Shaft Sinking By Practicing Artificial Ground Freezing (Agf) Method in Khalashpir Coal Field
Author Name :: Atikul Haque Farazi ||Chowdhury Quamruzzaman
Page Number :: 69-74
Paper Index :: :09.1913/023069074
Khalashpir coal field, the 3rd largest coal field of Bangladesh where proved reserve of about 143 million tons and probable reserve of about 685 million tons is estimated, has been decided for underground mining and artificial ground freezing (AGF) technique has been proposed as shaft sinking method after feasibility study. This method has been used in mining industry over the past 125 years for support of shaft sinking, tunneling and foundation excavation. To run the process brine solution is chilled between -25oC and -35oC in large refrigerant plant. The brine is then circulated through freezing tubes in required pattern to remove hit from the ground and thus freeze the soil to achieve soil strength and decrease the mobility of liquid water. This process results in a frozen earth barrier which gives strength to loose soil and bars water from inrushing excavation work for sinking a shaft. In this paper structural design of frozen ground works has been proposed to achieve a vertical cylindrical ice-wall for shaft sinking in Khalashpir coal field.
Keywords: shaft sinking, ice-wall, structural design, ice-wall thickness, freezing borehole.

Paper Index :: :09.1913/023075085
Paper reviews the state of the art of thermochemical conversion of biomass. Thermochemical conversion technologies include combustion, gasification and pyrolysis. The dominant biomass conversion technology will be gasification, as the gases from biomass gasification are intermediates in the high-efficient power production or the synthesis from chemicals and fuels. In the use of gases from biomass gasification it is important to understand that depending on the gasification temperature a syngas (>1200°C) or a product gas (<1000°C) is generated, of which the latter can be converted into syngas by catalytic or thermal cracking. The Entrained flow gasification is the most suitable technology for high temperature gasification. The characteristics of the generic types of thermochemical conversion – gasification and pyrolysis - are described. The range of products derivable from each system are discussed and related to each technology.

Fluoride is often described as a ‘double-edged sword’ as inadequate ingestion is associated with dental caries, where as excessive intake leads to dental, skeletal and soft tissue fluorosis- which has no cure. Considering the fact that fluorosis is an irreversible condition and has no cure, prevention is the only solution for this menace. Providing water, with optimal fluoride concentration is the only way by which the generation yet to be born can be totally protected against the disease. Defluoridation was the conventional and widely tested method for supplying safe water to the fluorosis affected communities. Various techniques and materials were tried throughout the world for defluoridation of water. Defluoridation techniques can be broadly classified in to four categories; Adsorption technique, Ion-exchange technique, Precipitation technique, and Other techniques, which include electro chemical defluoridation and Reverse Osmosis. This paper discusses various defluoridation techniques used across world and current status of defluoridation in India.

The replica algorithms or strategies are dependent on architecture of the data grid. By considering different kinds of architecture in data grid systems, a true representation of a grid is a general graph. So we propose an algorithm for suitable placement of replicas on graph-based data grids. In this paper, we address three issues concerning data replica placement in graph-based data grids. The first issue is how to minimize the data access time. The second issue is how to ensure load balance among replica servers. The third issue is how to minimize the unnecessary replications. To solve these entire issues, we propose a new placement algorithm that finds the optimal locations for the replicas, which minimizes the data access time, ensure load balance of replica servers and determines the minimum number of replicas required.

The individual influence of cushions and granular anchor piles on heave control of structures resting on expansive soils was studied previously at NIT-Warangal by conducting field investigations. The present study is an attempt to understand the combined influence of these techniques in controlling the ground heave. For this, three flooring panels of 3 m x 3 m size were cast in the field with different treatment alternatives and their cyclic swell-shrink movements were monitored for four years. This study revealed that the heave is decreased by 26% and 92% for cushioned flooring panel and cushion-cum- anchored granular piled flooring panel respectively.

Fault Studies form an important part of power system analysis for stable and economical operations of a Power System. Faults on a power system are divided into symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. In this paper, three-phase symmetrical fault was simulated on the Nigerian 330kV National Grid using Nigerian 24 bus power system from Power Holding Company of Nigeria. Two different MATLAB based programs were written; one program was for Load Flow Studies to determine the pre-fault conditions based on Newton-Raphson method, while the other was for three-phase short-circuit studies. It was observed that the fault currents were mostly excessively high. The information gained from the fault studies were used for the determination of circuit breaker ratings on the power system

Multiplier is one of the basic functional unit in digital signal processor. Most high performance DSP systems rely on hardware multiplication to achieve high data throughput. In this paper a low power and low area array multiplier is proposed. The conventional array multiplier is synthesised using 16T full adder cell. In conventional array multiplier the final stage of addition is removed and the carry bits are given to the input of the next left column input, thereby causing a large trade off in power and area. The proposed array multiplier is synthesised using 10T full adder cell. The proposed array multiplier design uses 96 less transistor count and saves 2.82% of total power, 13.24% of more speed and 15.69% less power delay product when being compared with the conventional array multiplier in 32nm MOSFET Technology using HSPICE.

A barrel shifter is an important block of a floating point arithmetic unit and it is capable of shifting data word by a specified 'n' number of bits in one cycle. Whereas shift registers are capable of shifting only one bit in one clock cycle. Barrel shifter can perform the following functions: shift left logical, shift left arithmetic, rotate left, shift right logical, shift right arithmetic and rotate right. The design of the barrel shifter is purely MUX based and therefore designing a MUX for low power to use it as a repetitive block in the barrel shifter will improve its efficiency. The MUX based barrel shifter circuits are designed using transmission gate. The barrel shifter is designed in FinFET technology. Fin-type field-effect transistors (FinFETs) are promising substitutes for bulk CMOS in nano-scale circuits.

Artificial Neural Network Approach to Clustering

Author Name :: Farhat Roohi
Page Number :: 33-38
Paper Index :: :09.1913/0232033038
In the field of computing, learning and artificial intelligence the developments have seen a transition from developing powerful computing powers, programmed closed systems devoid of learning capability to attempts to model the human brain as far as its learning and functioning is concerned. Attempts at this have to make models which have inbuilt self learning mechanism capable to learn from data continuously and modify the rules and output accordingly. Towards this end many attempts have been made amongst which neural networks based on their robustness and emulating capability of human brain deserve special attention. These networks which are combinations and interconnections of large number of artificial neurons mimic the learning capability and mechanism of human learning. They form the base of artificial intelligence and are central to various clustering programmes. Clustering, which is at the base of most of the data analysis, decision making, designing, forecasting, problems finds wide applications of neural networks. They have greatly facilitated the clustering function in both supervised and unsupervised kind of learning. They are of great help when the number of clusters is not known before hand. Against this backdrop this paper attempts to gain an insight into ANN and its basic components with main focus on its application in clustering.

The estimation of rainfall intensity is commonly required for the design of hydraulic and water resources engineering control structures. The IDF relationship is a mathematical relationship between the rainfallintensity, the duration and the return period.Rainfall data collected from the Nigerian Meteological Agency (NIMET) at the MargaretEkpo International Airport, Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria, were used to developed rainfall models for the Calabar catchment area. The afore-mentioned data were obtained on the basis of daily recordings. Twenty three years peak rainstorm intensity values with their corresponding durations were extracted and analysed using statistical methods of least square using Microsoft Excel software.The IDF curves were developed for return periods between 2 years and 100 years using the Extreme Value Type 1 (Gumbel) distributionfor rainfall intensity values for durations of 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 and 320 minutes. The IDF curves are recommended for the prediction of rainfall intensities for Calabar.

Paper Index :: :09.1913/0232049055
In a communication system, modulators play an important role in transmitting signal from one place to another. Different modulators are used for different types of communication. If we combine a set of modulators together into single modulators, the single composite modulator so obtained can be used for different communication purpose. And this may lead to minimization of cost and effort for developing modulators. With this idea in hand, an experimental research for design and simulation of a composite modulator model has been presented in this paper. The concept of union of directed graphs of four digital modulator models has been invested for combining four digital modulators.

With an increase use of mailing services, single sign-on applications are being implemented by ample amount of mailing services. In this research, efforts have been taken to implement SSO scheme for Gmail, yahoo, hotmail and customized mail. User no need to login multiple times in order to access services of Gmail, yahoo, hotmail and customized mail. If a user has accounts on Gmail, yahoo, hotmail the overload of authenticating each time each account increases. To overcome this, the concept of web based single sign on has been implemented in this system. User can read, compose, send mails, send SMS and maintain block list. This leads to decrease in overhead to remember multiple usernames and passwords and thus ensures time saving by avoiding multiple logins. This provides switching in between different mailing services which are located on different cloud.

Vulnerability of Soil Erosion in Okitipupa Area of Ondo State, Southwest Nigeria: A Climatic Problem

Author Name :: Obasi, R. A
Page Number :: 75-83
Paper Index :: :09.1913/023075083
Soil erosion is a natural phenomenon caused by a multidimensional factors. The soil vulnerability to erosion in Okitipupa area is studied with focus on climate and geotechnical characteristics as causatives. Rainfall and to a lesser extent temperature facilitate weathering, runoffs, flooding and erosion of any soil. Rainfall and temperature data of Ondo State were used for Okitipupa area since the latter is under the same climatic coverage. These data were grouped into decades for purposes of trend analyses. The results suggest that in the last three and half decades (1971-1980, 1981- 1990, 1991-2000, and 2001- 2007) the rainfall has been on the increase, an indication to show a change in the climate. The unusual increase in the trend of rainfall over time is attributable to the cause of flooding and erosion in Okitipupa area. Fifteen (15) soil samples subjected to atterberg tests ,particle size analysis, and permeability show the liquid limits of 18.3 to 44.3%, moisture content of 5.5-16.6% , fine- medium grained sand of 68.7% -96.2 and a low permeability respectively. These characteristics coupled with the increase in the trend of rainfall are suggested attributes that can make the soil vulnerable to runoffs, flooding and erosion. Dry season farming is suggested for those areas with high percentage of fine- medium grained sand. Government should discourage the construction of civil infrastructures along the coastal terrain of Okitipupa area.

Es-Aodv: Efficient Secure Aodv Using Hybrid Shortest Path Routing To Improve the Performance for Grid Computing

Author Name :: R.Rameshkumar||Dr. A.Damodaram
Page Number :: 01-07
Paper Index :: :09.1913/02330107
A MANETs require a reliable, efficient, and scalable and most importantly, a secure protocol as they are highly secure, self-organizing, rapidly deployed and they use dynamic routing. AODV is flat to attacks like modification of sequence numbers, modification of hop counts, source route and production of error messages. AODV does not specify any special security measures. The proposed scheme we have to using a hybrid routing used to avoiding any type of attacking model on the network. The attacking model to avoid using a shortest path routing algorithm (SPR) to using avoids the malicious attack method. Hybrid routing using a proactive and reactive model to used the RREQ and RREP method network. Route Request and Route Reply from the data transmission on the source to destination on network process. Since proactive and reactive routing protocols best in oppositely different scenarios, there is good reason to develop hybrid routing protocols, which use a mix of both proactive and reactive routing protocols. These hybrid protocols can be used to find a balance between the proactive and reactive protocols. The basic idea of hybrid routing protocols is to use proactive routing mechanisms in some areas of the network at certain times and reactive routing for the rest of the network. The proactive operations are restricted to a small domain in order to reduce the control overheads and delays. The reactive routing protocols are used for locating nodes outside this domain, as this is more bandwidth efficient in a constantly changing network. If have any attack or traffic on network to avoiding the traffic and send the data to destination. That time we have to using traffic aware routing method to using improved the network performance model system. Mainly to focus on the model are to reduce the packet delay and improve network performance and then saving an energy level of the network.

Paper Index :: :09.1913/023308014
This study aims at the identification of the structural profile of the socio-economic and housing problems of the slum areas. Five slum areas in Enugu City were chosen for the study consisting of three core and two peripheral spontaneous slum areas, namely Coal Camp, Obiagu, and Ogui Urban (core slum areas), Ngenevu and Jamboree (peripheral slum areas). 412 slum dwellers randomly selected from the chosen areas participated in the study. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) version of Factor Analysis (FA) statistical technique was employed for the data analysis. The technique reduced the 17 variables used for the study to 7 components or factors. The PCA also produced the structural profile of the variables with lack of housing amenities being the paramount. This is followed in descending order by household size, lack of job and low income, accommodation, tenancy and lastly security problems. It is therefore recommended that programme for the improvement of the slum areas in Nigeria should be phased in accordance with this structure.

In this paper, we present a simple 3D paint system that does not require any critical programming or technical bias. Presently many 2D to 3D conversion system needs a prior knowledge of the software and its use, so it's difficult to be used by everyone. We have made an attempt to use the simplest of all possibly usable technologies in 2D-3D conversion to aid the conversion process in the paint system. This paper proposes a simple system that has a plausible implementation through high frequency sound and the known propagation delay of acoustic waves to trilaterate distances. The system developed consists of sensing real time data (drawing), instant conversion and displaying the 3D drawing on the MATLAB. This project achieves the goals by first sensing the real-time drawing, calculating the time delay and hence the distances from it and then displaying its 3D drawing simultaneously from all angles.

Recently, investigations have been made into the corrosive characteristics and inhibitive properties of natural plants. In order to make a meaningful contribution to the contemporary interest, the corrosion inhibitive effects of Cola Nitida (Red Cola/Native Cola), Cola Acuminata (White Cola) and Cola Garcinia (Bitter Cola) solution extracts on the corrosion of austenitic stainless steel (316L) immersed in soil (pH 5.4), seawater (3% NaCl), 1M and 2M hydrochloric (HCl) acids environments were studied at ambient temperature. The corrosion rates of the stainless steel specimens were determined using the weight loss method for a period of forty-two days. The solution extracts inhibited the corrosion of the stainless steel specimens to an extent depending on the composition of the extracts and the type of the environment. The results obtained showed that the lowest and highest corrosion rates were observed in the soil and 2M HCl acid environments respectively. Cola Garcinia (Bitter Cola) exhibited the best inhibitor extract in the soil and 2M HCl acid environments while Cola Acuminata (White Cola) showed the best inhibitor in the seawater and 1M HCl acid environments. The inhibition was attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitors on the surfaces of the stainless steel specimens.

Agricultural production in Nigeria is weather dependent; extreme variations in rainfall and temperature have influence on food production. Most of the crops produced in Nigeria are low-technology based and are therefore heavily susceptible to environmental factors. The study analyzed the direction of causality and effect of climate change on food grain output in Nigeria from 1970-2010.Time series data were employed for the study. The data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria and National Bureau of Statistics. Granger causality test analysis and regression analysis were the analytical tools used. The Granger causality approach showed that changes in rainfall and temperature (climatic parameters) positively affect food grain output in Nigeria. While from the regression analysis, most of the food grains were significantly affected by rainfall and temperature. It is, therefore, recommended that for food grain output to increased and sustained; irrigation agriculture as most suitable mode of water provisions should be contemplated for the farmers by government and concerned agencies. Policies and government intervention programmes should aim at increasing the technological capacity for agricultural production and the budgetary allocation to agricultural sector in order to boost the contribution of the industry to the economy.

The "Informational role of the options market in predicting the future price index in the underlying cash market in India‟ is studied in this paper by applying the method of open interest and volume-based predictors (Bhuyan and Yan, 2002). Daily data for both price as well as non-price variables for four different sub-periods (2005 to 2008) have been employed to explore the above said relationship and its changes (if any) in the subsequent period. The results show that these predictors have significant explanatory power with open interest being more significant as compared to trading volume. The study provides deterministic parameters, which can be used by the uninformed investors to predict the price of underlying shares using index options market data and formulate the profitable trading strategies based on it.

This paper studied the level of awareness, understanding, opinions and perceptions of residents of Kaduna State North-Central Nigeria. The results expressed herein were gathered across the three geopolitical zones of the state, Kaduna north, central and south senatorial zones. A number of 600 questionnaires were sampled randomly across the various local government areas of these geopolitical zones. The results showed an appreciated level of understanding of LCE combined with low level awareness among respondents, and with the low level awareness due to inadequate information from trusted sources like newspapers, radio etc. and inadequate background in education which clearly shows the difficulty government faces bringing this issue to the forefront of public discuss. Respondents generally showed positive attitudes toward pro-environmental actions, such as refusing to use plastic bags, waste recycling, and water and energy conservation. Apart from regulation and policies, they considered education and economic incentives as effective mechanisms to promote LCE implementation. Overall, those consulted responded favorably towards the prospect of LCE. Results of the study, at this preliminary stage, suggest that the general public in Nigeria has the potential to be a facilitator of environmental improvements in the country.

Paper Title ::

A New Shape Function for Analysis of Line Continuum By Direct Variational Calculus

Trigonometric and polynomial functions are generally used in classical analysis of line continuum. Trigonometric functions tend to be good for direct use in the governing differential equations as well as in direct variational calculus. On the other hand, polynomial functions are only good for use in direct variational calculus because they give trivial results when used directly in governing differential equations. This explains the general resort to trigonometric functions in classical flexural linear continuum analysis. However, the problem with trigonometric functions is that it is very difficult to satisfy the boundary conditions of a propped cantilever linear continuum when a trigonometric shape function is used. Thus, many trial functions based on trigonometric functions, polynomial functions, and combinations of both are currently in use, none of which is effective for all cases of line continuum analysis. This work presents a new polynomial shape function derived from the exact general solutions of the governing differential equations that would be suitable for use in direct variational calculus for analyzing all the basic forms of line continuum. A general polynomial shape function for linear continuum is first developed from the basic governing differential equations. Peculiar polynomial shape functions were then developed for four different cases of linear continua, namely pin–roller supports, clamp–roller supports, clamp–clamp supports, and clamp–free supports by satisfying their boundary conditions in the general shape function. These peculiar polynomial shape functions were applied in analyzing pure bending, free vibration, and buckling of line continuum by direct variational calculus. The results were found to be identical or very close to the exact results obtained using standard trigonometric shape functions in equilibrium approach, the percentage differences being 0% for pure bending analysis, 0-6.383% for buckling analysis, and 0-2.52% for free vibration analysis. These results confirm that the new polynomial shape function developed in this work is effective for analysis of all cases of line continuum with different boundary conditions. It is therefore recommended for use by structural analysts.
