This book was designed to help students acquire requisite knowledge and skills in basic workshop technologies & practices, workshop management, organization and handling of tools and machines in preparations to meet the demands of the manufacturing and processing sector of our economy. Having read through this book, users will be able to appreciate the work environment and the influences it has on the workers' safety as well as gaining enough experience that will guide them in safe tool handling and machine operation for effective job delivery without incidences of hazards, injury or accident.
In the quest for sustainable agriculture, the manipulation and stewardship of soil through strategic tillage and management practices have emerged as pivotal elements. Strategic Tillage and Soil Management - New Perspectives brings together a wealth of knowledge and innovative approaches for enhancing the health and productivity of agricultural soils. This book delves into the essence of soil science, offering cutting-edge insights into the protection, rehabilitation, and optimal utilization of soil resources. With a focus on combining traditional practices with modern scientific research, it explores various strategies for soil health improvement, water and nutrient management, and the inte...
Industrial ecology, eco-efficiency, and green chemistry are guiding the development of the next generation of materials, products, and processes. Considerable growth has been seen in the use of biocomposites in the domestic sector, building materials, aerospace industry, circuit boards, and automotive applications over the past decade, but application in other sectors until now has been limited. Green Approaches to Biocomposite Materials Science and Engineering explores timely research on the various available types of natural fibers and the use of these fibers as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers and polymers. Emphasizing research-based solutions for sustainability across various industries, this publication is an essential reference source for engineers, researchers, environmental scientists, and graduate-level students.
Titanium dioxide is mainly used as a pigment and photocatalyst. It is possible to find it in food, cosmetics, building materials, electric devices, and others. This book contains chapters about characteristics of anatase and rutile crystallographic structure of titanium dioxide and the use of theoretical calculation for photoactivity determination.
This book contains preparatory practical steps, information and strategies to writing and becoming successful in entrance and professional examinations and tests. It discussed basic but practical success strategies and helpful tools in preparing, writing and succeeding in examinations. This book explicitly explores some vital areas of strategies in succeeding in examination including 1. Success concepts and perceptions 2. How to prepare for examination 3. Examination-taking tips 4. Examination vices and its menace A discovery of what to do to succeed, how to do it and going ahead to do it, is what guarantee success. The path to success begins with a discovery. Read on!
A link between machine functionality, operations, performance and decision making in the management of power sources and field operations were presented in this book. Depreciation and functional deviation of a machine from its original state at manufacture could put the life of a machine in danger of breakdown or obsolescence, which is counted a loss to any such organization or the entrepreneur. To avoid such losses, an understanding of machine systems functionality and a well organized maintenance programme designed to maintain, prevent or restore machine to near original state is required. Vocational training and entrepreneurship education in Nigeria's tertiary institutions has made possible a do-it-yourself skill acquisition in machine fault tracking, maintenance and repairs. A bimodal training programme packaged and presented in this book is all that is required for managerial decision making, maintenance and qualitative service delivery.
New ideas and developed technologies in agricultural operations depend to a large extent on scientific research diversity. Their results and implementation are responsible for increased agricultural production. The dynamic nature of agricultural operations and the complexity of agricultural machinery are indices of such scientific research diversity as evident in the wide spread requirements in agricultural operation if increased production must be sustained. Extensive works on agricultural mechanization and machinery utilization in agricultural production documented in this eleven chapter book will go a long way to acquaint students and researchers with the principles of agricultural machinery and provide him with requisite knowledge and skills on various agricultural machinery operations for effective agricultural mechanization. The book thus discusses in details the basic concepts in the development of agricultural machinery and mechanization.
Agricultural engineering principles and practices is an exposition on a previous work titled; fundamental principles of agricultural engineering practice published by same author in 2007 which only explored aspects of principles of agricultural engineering with less emphasis on production practices engaged in at every level of agricultural operations. Thus the book gave a narrowed outlook of agricultural engineering fundamentals, which is not adequate for providing relevant information in practice with agricultural engineering background undertaking at all levels of engineering training in the university, polytechnic and colleges. Hence, the book has been enlarged in scopes and packaged in 2...
This book was designed to help students acquire requisite knowledge and practical skills in technical drawing presentation and practices. The contents were scripted to prepare students for technical, diploma and degree examinations in engineering technology, technical vocations and draughtsmanship in other professions in the monotechnics, polytechnics and universities. At the end of each chapter are lists of examination standard exercises that will help students perfect their skill and proficiency in technical drawing works. Therefore, student should be able to; Understand the principles and techniques of drawing presentation and projections in geometry Understand the applications of solid geometry Understand the principles and application of free hand sketching Understand the principles of constructing conic-sections and development of surfaces
The technological processes of harvesting, handling, processing, preservation and storage of horticultural crops cannot be fully appreciated without recourse to good understanding of the fundamentals of the biological nature of the crops, composition of the crop, crop utilization potentials as well as the nutritional qualities from the view point of their behaviour under prevailing or modeled atmospheric conditions. This book is designed to provide the students with a good understanding in fruits and vegetables handling, processing, and technological advances in preservation of fruits and vegetable from harvest t.ill it gets to the consumer table or ended at the store shelf as finished products. Fruits and vegetables surfers the highest degree of deterioration at all levels of technological involvement right from maturity till shelving. This book is therefore packaged to advance knowledge and increase understanding of the nature of the fruits and vegetables in order to match up the principles and techniques of crops handling, processing and storage in order to minimize post harvest losses.
