Pages: 139 - 147
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development needs some metric to measure the progress of nations towards sustainability. The method for using the Carbon (IV) Oxide (CO2) Ecological Footprint (EF) as a means for measuring the progress of a developing country towards sustainable development has been studied in this research. Using the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry as a case study, models for computing the CO2 EF and Bio-capacity of the Nigerian Environment were developed with MATLAB 7.5.0 Software. By comparing the CO2 EF and the Biocapacity of Nigeria, the picture of the Nigerian oil and Gas Industry with respect to sustainability was painted and hence the progress towards sustainable development is now measurable. The study viewed Nigeria as an Isolated Thermodynamic system in space; hence, all the activities within the system must be sustainable, with the three dimensions of sustainability respected: Environmental, Social and Economic. Empirical analyses of data obtained with regard to CO2 released during Oil and Gas production in Nigeria suggests that the CO2 release by the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry is unsustainable. To make oil and gas production sustainable in Nigeria, the Nigerian forest needs to be increased to be able to sequester the emitted CO2 by the oil and gas industry.

Pages: 153 - 158
Based on preliminary investigations under controlled condition of drying experiments, a diverse solar dryer with forced convection using smooth and rough plate solar collector was constructed. This paper describes the development of dryer considerations followed by the results of experiments to compare the performance of the smooth and the roughed plate collector. The thermal performance of solar collector was found to be poorer because of low convective heat transfer from the absorber plate to air. Artificial rib roughness on the underside of the absorber plate has been found to considerably enhance the heat transfer coefficient. The absorber plate of the dryer attained a temperature of 69.2°C when it was studied under no-load conditions. The maximum air temperature in the dryer, under this condition, was 64.1°C. The dryer was loaded with 1.5 kg of potato having an initial moisture content of 81.4%, and the final desired moisture content of 18.6% was achieved within 4 days while it was 8 days for open sun drying. This prototype dryer was designed and constructed to have a maximum collector area of 1.03 m². This solar dryer been be used in experimental drying tests under various loading conditions.

India is an agriculture based country in which, 70% of people depends on the outcome of farming. But if we observe that with increase in population the farm gets distributed among the family and because of this, farmer in India held averagely only two acre farm. Also economically, farmers are very poor due to which they are unable to purchase tractors and other costly equipments hence they use traditional method of farming. Basically, many farmers in India also use bullocks, horses and he-buffalo for farming operation. This will not satisfy need of energy requirement of the farming as compared to other countries in the world. So we are thinking that human and animal efforts can be replaced by some advance mechanization which will be suitable for small scale farmer from economical and effort point of view. So we are developing this equipment which will satisfy all this need and to solve labour problem. In this equipment we used 24cc engine for digging operation and for spraying used motor with 12V battery. Next two operations are manual base which is cultivation and sowing. This machine perform four farming operation (digging, sowing, cultivation, spraying) which is used small scale farming. By using above attachments one may perform various farming operations in less time and economically.

People in today’s world get affected by many diseases that do not have a complete cure. The development of one disease may lead to various other complications. A disease is an abnormal condition that affects the structure and function of one or more parts of the body. It may be caused by various factors, external and internal dysfunctions. There is a trend of various chronic diseases in any society. The major concern is that these chronic diseases are leading to many other diseases in future. An attempt to explore the correlation of various chronic diseases has become a necessity. This can be achieved by using data mining techniques, which help to derive knowledge about the affects of a particular chronic disease on the other chronic diseases. Since there is growing trend of diabetes and ischemic heart disease in the society, in this paper the focus is to investigate the effect of these diseases on the other chronic diseases using the ICD9 diagnostic codes. To achieve this goal various types of data mining techniques are used. The large amounts of data are very important in the field of data mining to extract useful information and generate relationships amongst the attributes. The conclusion is an optimal set of ICD9 diagnostic codes associated with individuals having diabetes or ischemic heart disease. These codes are then examined in the light of the human anatomic systems i.e. Circulatory system, Respiratory system, Nervous system, Musculoskeletal system, Renal system and Neoplasm and their relevance is justified.
