 ABSTRACT

This paper examined the impact of oil and non-oil export on Nigerian economy. It reviewed literature on the macroeconomic policy and the relative impact of oil and non-oil export on the economy. It also reviewed the contribution of both oil and non-oil export on Nigeria Gross Domestic Product over the years and compared the contribution of both oil and non-oil export on Nigerian economy. This was necessitated by the need to understand the contribution of both oil and non-oil export on Nigerian economy. The study concluded that oil has greater contribution to the economic growth of Nigeria due to the neglect of agriculture since the beginning of oil boom.

ABSTRACT:

Outlier detection in high-dimensional data presents various challenges resulting from the “curse of dimensionality.” A prevailing view is that distance concentration, i.e., the tendency of distances in high-dimensional data to become indiscernible, hinders the detection of outliers by making distance-based methods label all points as almost equally good outliers. In this paper, we provide evidence supporting the opinion that such a view is too simple, by demonstrating that distance-based methods can produce more contrasting outlier scores in high-dimensional settings. Furthermore, we show that high dimensionality can have a different impact, by reexamining the notion of reverse nearest neighbors in the unsupervised outlier-detection context. Namely, it was recently observed that the distribution of points’ reverse-neighbor counts becomes skewed in high dimensions, resulting in the phenomenon known as hubness. We provide insight into how some points (antihubs) appear very infrequently in k-NN lists of other points, and explain the connection between antihubs, outliers, and existing unsupervised outlier-detection methods. By evaluating the classic k-NN method, the angle-based technique designed for high-dimensional data, the density-based local outlier factor and influenced outlierness methods, and anti hub-based methods on various synthetic and real-world data sets, we offer novel insight into the usefulness of reverse neighbor counts in unsupervised outlier detection.

Abstract – In this project, an asymmetrical duty cycle control strategy was proposed to the TPTL dc/dc converter. The modified converter remains all the advantages of original control strategy; meanwhile, soft-switching can be achieved using the energy stored in output filter inductance and leakage inductances of transformers (or resonant inductances).Three-phase three-level (TPTL) dc/dc converter has the advantages of lower voltage and current stress on switches, which is suitable for high power and high input voltage applications. Adopting a symmetrical control strategy, the ripple frequency of input and output current can be increased significantly, resulting in a reduced filter requirement. However, all the switches are hard-switching, leading to a considerable switching loss. Full-bridge dc/dc converters have been used widely in the medium-to-high-power applications for the pulse width = modulation (PWM) control, soft-switching characteristics, and lower power rating on switches. To further reduce the current stress on switches for higher power level requirements, a prominent three-phase full-bridge topologies was first put forward by Ziogas for medium-voltage-level applications [1], in which three-phase bridges consisting of six switches and a three-phase transformer are adopted. With the three-phase architecture, the converters has the superior features, including lower current rating of switches, reduced input and output current ripple allowing small size filter requirement and better utilization of transformer core. The improved resonant converter features zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) realization under wide load range and higher conversion efficiency. However, wide variation in switching frequency should be concerned in the applications with wide input/output voltage range. Other alternative solutions are the non resonant soft-switching three-phase converters. in order to obtain ZVS commutation for all switches and control the output voltage, Nevertheless, the upper and lower commutation cell switches are subjected to different current stresses) is improved by using MAT Lab/Simulink. The proposed concept can be implemented with five levels the proposed concept can be implemented for speed control of BLDC motor using Matlab/Simulink software

  Abstract

The Nigeria fiscal system evolved and operated on principles that negated the main features of public expenditure management which include among others allocation, efficiency and equity, guided by the principles of needs, equity, stability and national interest, the Nigeria tertiary institution seem to be in perpetual traumas. Tertiary education in Nigeria is faced with a lot of challenges ranging from the historical factors of the misappropriation of funds caused by the high level of corruption and embezzlement in conjunction with the lackadaisical attitude of government officials towards the growth of the sector. This study call for a revisit on the management and administration of public funds allocated to the tertiary institutions. The study is a qualitative research and based on secondary data. The pieces of information gleaned from the foregoing sources are weighed in relation to the topic using both deductive and inductive reasoning. It was recommended that there should be a legal procedures for administrative and other restrictions on the expenditure of public resources that enhance transparency, accountability, fairness and objectivity.

Abstract:

The effort was made to make this research project to become reality this was achieved by visiting (Fagam-farm) a case study area. With a view to explore how fish production mitigate poverty among the populace of Kano state and to identify the challenges facing the farmers and marketing operation of fish produced, the socio-economic characteristic of the fish farmers of Fagam co-operative farm, the fish production form, marketing strategy and the co-operative goals. Based on the above observation made, recommended that, female are not involves in the sector due to the religion purposes and the majority of the respondent are single within the age category of (8-25). Most of the respondents possess an educational certificate of secondary level were minority of them possess Qur’anic, primary and tertiary certificate. Also majority of the respondents are within the extended family and their family size are in the category of (5-10) where others are in the category of (11-15) it indicated that, all the respondents that interviewed in Fagam farm are purely Muslim in religion whereas no any Christian that work or employed in the farm. The highest numbers of pond that they use in Fagam farm are concrete ponds while others are earthen and plastic pond. Also the type of ponds size dimension are all largest size and the higher percentage of practical culture method they practice is mono-culture while the less percentage is poly culture and all the pounds were constructed manually. The type of feed they used is only imported and the majority type of farming management consider is intensive system while the minority is semi-intensive and the cost of feeding poor circle obtained is 100% high, because the farm has a big size and they practice intensive management system which consumes more capital than the other management system included in the farm.

Abstract

Rapid transformation of cities and urban spaces in South-East Europe (SEE) since 1990s is closely related to the common experience of post-socialist and/or post-war challenges in the region. Among pressing issues identified as a common challenge in the region is the trend of self-regulation or unchecked urban development, which contrasts the pre-1990s conventional central planning and development format. This has drawn the attention of a wider Europe, which resulted in a number of initiatives, both governmental and nongovernmental, been created to jointly initiate regional projects that aim at developing urban solutions. The emerging criticism developed by such initiatives has played and important role in raising the awareness about the complexity and the need to address the SEE context within the context of Europe as a whole. This paper introduces the nature of urban transformation in SEE through the example of capital cities; it further documents commonly identified urban development challenges by two regional initiatives, NALAS and Archis SEE Network, from the perspective of authors, the first being a member in both networks. Results suggest that the way forward is to foster national legal frameworks in SEE by taking into account the contextual inputs for urban interventions, in terms of both urban policy and case study projects, developed through regional and international cooperation.
