Indoor air quality monitoring system control / Daisy Ubong Lawai
No full textIn this project report, sensitivity detection of various smells in the room is discussed by using air sensor MQ-2. People do not perform well on their job when they are uncomfortable. Suitable air sensor circuit is which to detect the smells will be presents on this paper. In order to display the output results from the sensor, screen monitor was used. Programmable Interface Controller (PIC) 16F877A was used as the intelligent system that connected between the air sensor circuit and screen monitor which present the output of the room’s conditions. Visual Basic is used to display the three different colors. Red, yellow and green were the chosen colors to indicate danger, warning and safe conditions. Serial port communication is used to interface with PIC16F877A.The hardware and software is implemented in this system modeling and experimental results are presented

Remote sensing, a tool for erosion study; A case study of Nekede (Imo State, Nigeria) and its environs
No full text<p>Remote<em> Sensing, a tool for</em> erosion<em> study; a case study of Nekede in Imo</em> State, Nigeria is a final year Project of Equere, Ubong ([email protected]) that was done in partial fulfilment of the award of<em> </em>B. Eng. in Agricultural Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Owerri in February 2014. Landsat imagery obtained from the National Agency for space and research development agency (NASRDA) and downloaded DEM datasets are used to study and analyse erosion and causing factors and processed using ILWIS 3.3 Academic, Multispec 3.3 and Landserf 2.3 of latitude 5.18° – 5.39° N and longitude 6.51° - 7.08° E. Results obtained were that inherit susceptibility of the study area to gully erosion is derived from the effects of activities on the geologic formations of the area which is characterized by poor geotechnical properties based on previous studies in south eastern Nigeria as a whole.</p
The effects of sexual harassment on employee's work performance / Stephanie Ubong Clement
No full textSexual harassment is a phenomenon that is universally faced by workers all over the world regardless of what type of organizations the employees are in. The objective of this research is to identify the effects of sexual harassment on employees work performance. To achieve this objective, every employee should be able to know the consequences of a sexual harassment on working performance. Based on the correlation analysis of all independent, health problems, financial challenges and global consequences are positively related to employee’s work performance. Based on regression analysis, health problems, financial challenges and global consequences are significant to employee’s work performance. Although all the independent variables are significant to work performance, the most impactful or influencing is health problems. Therefore, it can be concluded that the hypothesis are all accepted in this study. This research had achieved the objectives to determine the relationship between effects of sexual harassment on employees’ work performance. Since the findings indicate that health problems are the most significant effects of sexual harassment on work performance, therefore organization should monitor the health conditions of their employees as to make sure every employees are on their best health conditions
The implementation of hybrid conjugate gradient method in electromagnetic tomography / Michelle Ubong Sari
No full textElectromagnetic tomography (EMT) is a type of electrical tomography based on electromagnetic induction. Reconstructing images with EMT involves solving inverse problems, which are often poorly defined due to limited prior information about imaging features. Optimization methods such as conjugate gradient (CG), QuasiNewton, and Steepest Descent can help minimize these problems. The conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm is an iterative method that efficiently handles equations with multiple inputs, saving time but requiring more memory. In this research, a hybrid CG method is used to reduce the number of iterations (NOI) and CPU time, achieving excellent numerical performance. This hybrid CG method is then implemented into the EMT system. The efficiency of the EMT and EMT-CG systems is evaluated based on error analysis using RMSE. The findings highlight the hybrid CG method's capability within the EMT system
The perceptions of people towards Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) / Chandy Rhia Ubong and Urai Tumbai
No full textUrban Transformation Centre (UTC) is one of the government programme where the aims of UTC is to provide the urban areas or community better services along with a government function, private sector and non-government in one building. This study are conducted to examine the perception of people towards Urban Transformation Centre (UTC), to identify the relationship between perception level of people towards UTC and personality and attitude of employees and to investigate the correlation between perception level of people towards UTC and quality of facilities. This research is conducted by using a simple random sampling technique where the elements in the population are selected randomly. The sample sizes for the purpose of this research are 150 respondents selected randomly in UTC at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. While the data collection instrument for this research is done through questionnaires and interviews
Student assessment of teachers (SAT): towards a basket of approaches / Bassey Ubong and Mercy O. Okpor
No full textIn some institutions of higher learning, one of the approaches to successful governance is through student assessment of teachers, dubbed Student Assessment of Faculty or Student Evaluation of Teaching and extensively used in the United States of America (USA). In schools and colleges, the usual largest bloc and primary stakeholders are the students. Students should therefore assess teachers for the purpose of improving the system for all stakeholders including themselves. Teaching is a service in a marketing framework and where it is offered, the buyer is in the best position to assess the offering for better performance. This paper advocates for student assessment of their teachers at the end of each teaching cycle and suggests a basket of approaches to reduce the dissonance that accompanies the exercise where applied. A template is suggested in the paper
Appraisal of Some Existing Technology on Water Quality: Appraisal and Design
No full textSunday Emmanson Udoh and Ubong Isaac Nelson
Water is essential for the maintenance of life, domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes. However, the current global challenge is to find solutions to problems arising from the employment of contaminated water for the listed purposes. It is known that there is more contaminated or polluted water than potable water. Therefore, since the water resources is fixed by nature, efforts towards the provision of potable water must significantly be directed towards water treatment protocols. This review identified various water treatment methods, their comparative advantages as well as disadvantages. The comparison reveals that there is no specific method that can give 100% purity of water. Hence for best results, we recommended the engineering approach for the provision of a purification bed as the best option
