Smart materials possess the ability to adapt and conform to service conditions. Smart materials quickly adapt to the environment, thereby bringing smartness to construction. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), fiber optics, piezoelectric materials, Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluids, Electro-Rheological (ER) fluids, and magnetostrictive materials are some smart materials with potentially good applications in the construction industry. Research into the development and applications of smart materials is worthwhile for all fields of science and engineering. When smart materials are subjected to different temperature treatments (Austenite and Martensite), they exhibit two special properties that are distinct from ordinary steels. These properties are shape memory and superelasticity. The advantages of these two important properties can be enjoyed in several areas of applications in civil engineering and the entire construction industry, such as prestress bars, self-rehabilitation, two-way actuators, etc. This research assesses through a survey the level of awareness and impact of smart materials amongst the construction stakeholders in Lagos State, Nigeria. A questionnaire through hard filing and Google Forms was used to collect data from the respondent. The population for the study comprises all construction stakeholders in Lagos State. The data obtained were analyzed through the use of means and standard deviation. The findings from the study revealed that About 91.5% of the stakeholders believed smart materials could help reduce the rate of building collapse in Lagos State.

Nigeria is a developing nation with great belief and anticipation that agriculture is a major sector that can bring the much-needed development of the country in no time. Automation of agro-technology involves the implementation of recent technologies to develop the crops that are being produced. The use of agro-technology helps to improve the throughput of the farm workers, improves the efficiency of the crops produced, and also helps in developing devices that are suitable for doing both manual and mechanical work in the fields. In this research work, an automatic seed-sowing machine was designed, fabricated, and developed using Arduino programming as the control. The machine comprises the following operating units; the chassis on which all other components are mounted, the power units comprising of two 9V batteries which serve as the prime mover, and the programmed Arduino chips for the automation of the machine. The Arduino programming supplies the mechanical parts with the necessary instructions and controls in order to perform the sowing operation. At the end of the test, the machine saves time, energy is more efficient, and has no seed wastage.

(RSM) is an empirical model which employs the use of mathematical and statistical techniques in relating input variables otherwise known as factors to the response. RSM became very useful due to the fact that other methods available such as the theoretical model could be very cumbersome to use, time-consuming, inefficient, error prone and unreliable. In order to draw meaningful conclusions and findings, an experiment is required. In an effort to obtain an objective conclusion (between the factors and the response), an experimenter needs to plan and design the experiments, and analyze the results. An approximation of the response in relation to the variables is otherwise known as RSM. This chapter reviews RSM concept for easy understanding and adoption by researchers. In section 2.0, the various terminologies used in RSM were defined. In section 3.0, RSM design types were highlighted and RSM research phases exposed in section 4.0. Section 8.0 gave some scenario applications of RSM in various fields and section 9.0 defined the RSM research cycle process. General applications and conclusions stated.

In manufacturing using machining operation, the surface finish of the machined product is a measure of quality and also reduces production cost. In order to obtain good surface finish from the products, the process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) must be carefully selected during orthogonal turning. Machining is a manufacturing process whereby metals are shaped by way of chip removal in order to produce new components. This study investigates the effect of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on surface roughness. An experiment was conducted using Taguchi Design of Experiment (DOE). Each machining parameters is considered at three levels. The experimental data was obtained after machining the Al-Si material with HSS cutting tool. The surface roughness was measured using TMR 120 surface roughness tester. MINITAB 16 software was used to analyse the data set so as to reduce manipulations and machining trials. The result of the analysis shows that cutting feed has the largest effect on the surface roughness followed by the depth of cut and the spindle speed has the smallest effect on the surface roughness. A regression equation was obtained for optimal surface roughness to be Ra =-1.50 + 0.00142 Speed + 8.02 Feed rate + 1.60 Depth of cut.

Service robots and artificial intelligence promise to increase productivity and reduce costs,
prompting substantial growth in sales of service robots and research dedicated to
understanding their implications. To establish some fundamental insights related to this
research domain, this paper seeks to complement research on robots’ human-likeness with
investigations of the factors that service managers must choose for the service robots
implemented in their service setting. A three-part framework, comprised of robot design,
customer features, and service encounter characteristics, specifies key factors within each
category that need to be analysed together to determine their optimal adaptation to different
service components. This framework and the final research questions provide a research
agenda to guide scholars and help practitioners implement service robots successfully. This
paper seeks to develop a practical and systematic framework for the implementation of
robotics and similar technologies in a developing country. The methods developed towards
achieving this objective include: surveying the available literature on automated assembly
systems; defining the advantages and limitations of the various systems; studying different
classifications and programming methods of Industrial Robots with a view to examining their
effectiveness in a viable and efficient automated assembly system. Particular attention is
given to the need to justify capital investments prior to introducing automation into any
production processes. In this context, the sociological impact of robots with respect to job
enrichment and displacement, quality of life, and economic emancipation are discussed. Of
particular focus is the role of robotics in eliminating dangerous or undesirable ' jobs, increasing
product quality, manufacturing flexibility, output rate, and efficiency.

through contemporary processes from biomass,
rather than a fuel produced by the very slow
geological processes involved in the formation
of fossil fuels, such as oil.
Since biomass technically can be used as a fuel
directly, some people use the terms biomass and
biofuel interchangeably. More often than not,
however, the word biomass simply denotes the
biological raw material the fuel is made of. The
word biofuel is usually reserved for liquid or
gaseous fuels, used for transportation.Biofuels can
be classified into two categories: primary and
secondary biofuels. The primary biofuels are
directly produced from burning woody or cellulosic
plant material and dry animal waste. The secondary
biofuels can be classified into three generations that
are each indirectly generated from plant and animal
material. The incessant increase in world
population growth leading to increased human
activities in the form of transportation,
industrialization and other economic activities
results into high energy demand to satisfy the
human socio-economic development. Fossil fuel
(Coal, Oil and Gas) based energy generation has
been in usefor years which brings about carbon
dioxide emission, causing health issues for man
and the environment. This study evaluates the
impacts of fossil fuels and readily available
opportunities in biofuel as an alternative source of
energy for sustainable economic development. The
continuous consumption of fossil fuel as a major
source of energy has
contributed adversely to the emission of Green
House Gases (GHG) and eventually lead to Climate
change. Biomass can be obtained from the
following resources wood and agricultural
products, landfill and biogas, livestock residues,
ethanol/biodiesel and solid waste. Biofuel produced
from biomass which can replenish itself quickly
after consumption is called Renewable energy. This
study focuses on biomass and their various
sources.In this research we describe the economic
benefit of biofuel for cleaner environment and
economic development. Recommendations was
made on how to improve on current biofuel
production for sustainable energy.

treating solid wastes and offers variety of solutions
for recycling items that don’t belong to trash. It is
about how garbage can be used as a valuable
resource. Waste management is something that
each and every household and business owner in
the world needs. Waste management disposes of
the products and substances that you have use in a
safe and efficient manner.This study exposes the
correlation between efficient waste management
system, human health and quality of the general
environment. Waste management implies dealing
with waste in an environmentally responsible way
from its generation until it is finally disposed of. It
requires everyone to be responsible by prioritising
waste minimisation, treatment and recycling and
then its final disposal. By so doing, both human life
and the entire environment is preserved. This paper
reviews the impact of waste management on water,
soil, air quality, the environment and human health.
The various method of handling and disposal of
wastes was carefully reviewed against the standard
practices with a focus on Lagos Metropolis. Poor
waste management practice in five major dumping
sites in Lagos and the dangerous health challenges
and the environmental concerns were raised. The
best waste management practice was
recommended.

However, peeling is an important process which increases the value of the processed food. Yam peeling machines need to be developed for this purpose which normally has always been carried out manually with the use of knives and on domestic scale. A yam peeling machine which has a dual operation was developed in this study. The machine was evaluated for performance and the peeling efficiency ranged between 71.2 and 95%. The peeling rate was 11.15 mm/s during motorized operation and 3.45 mm/s during manual operation. The peeling loss ranged from 3.67 to 14.29% during motorized operation and from 3.91 to 16.96% when the machine was operated manually. The machine can be developed for small scale food industries at reasonable cost and minimal maintenance. Yam peeling, which is the removal of the outer layer of the yam, is one of the major problems of yam processing both for small and large-scale consumptions. Yam belongs to the families called Discoreaceae and Discorea. These families contain about 600 species out of which ten are presently of economic importance. Most of the yams produced in various parts of the world are consumed within the country of production, although appreciable qualities are shipped to the developed countries.

The can crusher is made up of various parts containing parts such as a lever, base frame, can bin, piston cylinder arrangement, chain sprocket mechanism and bearing. The inspiration behind this design came from the wastages in eateries, canteens of big companies where people gather and consume a lot of canned beverages. Thus, it makes sense that there should be an easy way to dispose of used cans properly during large social gatherings. The Can Crushing machine works with the help of pneumatic single acting cylinder. The machine is portable in size, and as such is easily transportable. Most companies find it difficult to dispose of their used cans in hotels and canteens and to create enough storage space that is required. This paper deals with the operations, the design and structural analysis of can crusher. A Can crusher is a device to reduce large material object into a smaller volume. The crusher reduces the size or change the form of waste materials so that they can be disposed off or recycled easily. The Can crushing machine is designed to crush aluminum waste cans by 80%. reduction in volume. It is used primarily to ease transportation of aluminum waste for recycling purposes. The machine is designed to smash an empty can of diameter 65mm and height 120mm to height of between 25mm to 30mm. It uses compressed air for its operations with the following component parts: pneumatic cylinder, solenoid valve, control unit and hoses. The cans are fed into the hopper and the cans travel in an orderly manner through the chute into the crushing chamber. The air compressor through the pneumatic cylinder supplies the required crushing force. The crushed cans drop through the created space into the collection tray below the crushing chamber.

It takes care of power failure problems. The Cassava is fed with the Machine through the hopper made of metal sheet to the granting drum, which rotates at a constant speed. This process grates the cassava into cassava pulp. The chute made up of metal sheet accepts the pulp and sends it out because of its inclination which is operated manually. The efficiency of the machine was found to be 82.7%, which the efficiency of the electrically powered machine was found to be 79.5%. The need for the hygienic processing of cassava, is very important as well as the prevalent conditions in the commercial grating areas of this staple food as it is likely to be affected by food contamination. A home-scale cassava grating machine was designed and fabricated, with machine efficiency, safety factors, and portability all taken into consideration. The grating hopper and drum are modified with the drum having a stainless-steel sheet wrapped around a galvanized mild steel core. The machine runs on a single phase 6.5HP (horse power), electric motor, multiple customers with increased through-put when compared to other available grating machines. The performance efficiency of the grater for fresh cassava samples depends on the results showing significant variation for combination of process parameters. This study carried out the performance and optimization evaluation of single barrel cassava grating machine on selected fresh and stored cassava species. The species were used at different levels of moisture content, 70.4% db. and 58.4% db. depicting the average moisture contents obtained for fresh and stored cassava respectively.

As the name implies, the equipment is constructed in modules that are designed to be transported quickly and easily anywhere in the world. and comes in a variety of sizes and capacities. Depending on the refining capacity, Modular refineries can be designed and constructed with the major part of the work accomplished in a factory controlled atmosphere. This paper explores the development of small-scale modular private refineries and large-scale conventional private refineries. For the largest Modular Refineries, some of their components (such as distillation columns) are too heavy that they are normally shipped separately. Before shipping and while still in the factory where it is manufactured, the components are pre-assembled directly to the modularized process systems, so as to make the field assembly short and efficient. Modular refining solutions provide single-source project management, quick construction in challenging environments and superior quality control for reliable and cost-effective operations. This paper provides analyses of the current state of the refining sector in Nigeria and the refining revolution that will take place within the next 3-5 years. Modular refining solutions are best suited for projects with: strict product specifications, short project timelines requiring fast track delivery, limited, critical onsite resources and remote locations

The numbers of runs of experiment was determined using Taguchi's approach to design of experiment. Cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were the three significant factors taken as machining parameters at three levels. The experiment was designed and carried out using standard L 27 Taguchi's orthogonal array, which leads to twenty-seven runs of experiments. The analysis of variance (ANOVA), signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio are employed to find the optimal levels and analyze the effect of cutting parameters. At the end of the experiment, it was found that the optimum setting of the control factors by main effects plots was found to be first level of speed (350 m/min), first level of Feed (0.200mm/rev), and first level of Depth of cut (0.2mm). It was further found that the ideal conditions for least surface roughness (R a) are speed at level 2 (470 m/min), feed at level 2 (0.225 mm/rev), and depth of cut at level 3 (0.6 mm).
