    Theses are one of the information sources that users are not aware of their existence talk less of having  access  to them. Bibliographies helps researchers keep track of the sources they consulted or cited for their written material and gives readers a framework of how the writers' arguments were formed. This paper  attempts to provide a systematic list of Ph.D theses produced by the Faculty of Science, Bayero University,  Kano from 2004 to 2014. Aim was to enable the researchers and students to know and access the scientific research products of the Faculty of Science Bayero University, Kano Nigeria. The theses were arranged  alphabetically under the author surname followed by the title of the work, institutional affiliation and then the year of publication respectively.Keywords: Bibliography, Ph.D., Theses

    The chief purpose of this paper is to analyze the formation and growth of oil palm plantation enterprises in postcolonial Indonesia. Most of the oil palm plantation enterprises in Indonesia are incorporated businesses organized as limited companies (perseroan terbatas, PT). Amendments of the corporate charters of limited companies concerning their formation, increase in capital, executive appointments, and so on must be reported to the government. Each amendment is announced by an Appendix of the State Gazette (Tambahan Berita Negara Republik Indonesia, TBN-RI), which is annually printed, bound, and stored by the State Printing Office (Percetakan Negara Republik Indonesia, PNRI). Using data from these official documents for the period until 1999, this article presents an outline of the development of oil palm plantation enterprises mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. It contains the profiles of top-class business groups such as Asian Agri, Astra Agro, Salim (Indoagri), and Sinar Mas, as well as some second-class groups among the nearly 500 corporate enterprises that were engaged in the oil palm plantation business

    North American Power Symposium (NAPS) -- SEP 17-19, 2017 -- Morgantown, WVThis paper investigates wind power potential assessment of Kano, located at North-Western region of Nigeria where the wind is highly variable and energy demand is high. Weibull probability density function is used to analyze Kano wind speed data obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). The analysis shows that average monthly wind power density of Kano varies from 213.913 W/m(2) to 735.925 W/m(2). The study also revealed that Kano has seasonal average wind power density of 471.941 W/m(2) for dry seasons and 461.450 W/m(2) for rainy seasons. The annual power density ranges from 297.481 W/m(2) to 830.801 W/m(2). The most probable wind speed (V-mp) and maximum energy carrying wind speed (V-maxE) monthly and annually values are found for dry and rainy seasons. Seasonal conditions are considered as well. All of the results show that Kano clearly falls under the highest class of 7 according to wind power density classes.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK)The author Gaddafi Sani Shehu wish to thank Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) for its support for the PhD program, and Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) Abuja for providing the wind data

    KANŌ Motonobu (1476-1559) was a talented painter whose father KANO Masanobu (1435- 1530) was the actual founder of the famous Kano school. Motonobu's most creative period was the first half of the 16th century, a turbulent phase in Japan, during which period he built the foundation for the later prosperity of the Kanā school. His most significant achievement was the unification of the traditional manner of yamato-e type screen painting and the Chinese style painting. His success provided the prototype for the colourful and dynamic style of screen painting in the Momoyama period. In the present paper, the author tries to explore all the related data and establish as detailed a chronology as possible. The contents which are to be divided between several numbers of this journal would be as follows: Introduction; 1) contemporary records concerning Motonobu; 2) dates of birth and death, and his tomb; 3) assumed names and official titles ; 4) environment and income; 5) relatives --a) brothers, b) sister, wife and relationship to the GOTŌ and TOSA families, c) Sons ; 6) painters around Motonobu ; 7) works; 8) postscript; chronological table; bibliography. Of these articles the first chapter is presented in this number. Here such data as his own letters, accounts of his activities in diaries of contemporary noblemen and priests are arranged chronologically and discussed.journal articl
