Abstract:

Gully erosion is a devastating form of soil degradation threatening environmental sustainability, socio-economic development, and human well-being worldwide. The Southeastern region of Nigeria, particularly Ukpor, is prone to gully erosion, which has resulted in the loss of infrastructure, agricultural land, and human settlements. While various factors contribute to gully erosion, the soil’s geotechnical properties remain an important aspect that has been given limited attention. This study investigates the implications of geotechnical properties of soils in the development of gully erosion in

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to convert mixed plastic waste into usable liquid fuel via pyrolysis technique using Ukpor clay as a low-cost catalyst and commercial grade kaolin. Waste plastic was catalytically degraded in a laboratory scale pyrolysis semi-batch reactor at a temperature of 400 °C, residence time of 45 min, and heating rate of 16 ˚C/min. The catalysts were characterized by XRF analysis while proximate analysis of the plastic feed carried out gave volatile materials content of 95.17 wt%, fixed carbon of 1.51 wt% and ash content of 2.6 wt%.

Abstract:

This research investigates the geophysical aspects of gully erosion in Ukpor Metropolis using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) methods. We identified distinct subsurface lithological layers by interpreting resistivity curves and geoelectric sections across multiple sites, including clayey sands, dry sands, water-saturated sands, kaolinite clays, and shales. The resistivity data reveal a complex stratigraphy with varying aquifer depths and thicknesses, such as 39.5 meters and 97.3 meters. The study found that high resistivity values near the surface

Abstract:

The physical properties of some Nigerian clays were studied in order to determine their suitability for a variety of industrial applications. From the analysis, the specific gravity of Ukpor and Ahoko clays were 1.89 and 2.26 respectively and the Plasticity Index 26.05% and 22.45%, drying shrinkage was 18.90% and 8.2% and particle size distribution showed that the samples are clays. The results show that the physical properties of the clays are within the specifications for kaolin clays and are suitable for industrial uses.

Abstract:

Manufacturing and processing industries usually consume large quantities of materials and energy in the course of their operations. The energy supplied for high-temperature processes are used partially for the actual technical process and between 30 to 40% of the energy escapes through the walls of the reactor into the atmosphere, leading to a high degree of thermal inefficiency and fuel consumption. This paper studies the thermal behaviour of insulating refractory bricks produced from a blend of fireclay and agroforestry wastes. The fireclays used were obtained from Ukpor deposit in Anambra S

Abstract:

Abstract Due to the difficulty that the compressive strength of cement slurries formulated with bentonite are not stable at elevated temperature conditions, in addition to other properties at high temperatures, Mucuna solannie commonly known as “Ukpo” was examined as an alternative. API standard procedures were employed throughout the laboratory measurements to determine overall rheological properties, compressive strength, thickening time, and free water of the extenders both at 150 °F (65.6 °C) and 200 °F (93.3 °C) BHCT. Mucuna solannie results gave compressive strength at 24 h as 952 psi (6

Abstract:

This study explored how job satisfaction influences employee performance among healthcare workers at General Hospital Ukpom Abak in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The research was driven by growing concerns about declining staff morale and productivity within the public healthcare sector, largely attributed to ongoing human resource management issues. It pinpointed key challenges such as delayed staff promotions, insufficient recognition of employee efforts, and inadequately designed reward systems as major contributors to dissatisfaction and reduced work performance in the hospital.

Background: Ethnic characteristics of individuals are best described with the skull. Cranial index is one of the most important variables for determining sexual dimorphism and of course racial differences. Parameters used in establishing cephalic index vary considerably depending on the age, sex, geographical habitat, ethnic background of the individuals involved and the methods employed. Such has not been documented in Calabar, especially with the use of advanced imaging modality such as the Computed Tomography (CT) scans.

Abstract:

The use of legume seed flours as emulsifiers and flavouring agents in traditional soups is a function of the high level of their gum contents. The method of processing of legumes generally affects the physical behavior when applied to subsequent food processing. Generally, legume seed flours are obtained after some level of heat treatments (boiling and roasting) for a period of 10 min. Extraction of gums from tropical legume seeds has not been a common practice. This work was therefore designed to determine the effect of various processing methods on the physical properties of gum extracts of

The effects of processing on the chemical properties (proximate, mineral, vitamins, and anti-nutritional factors) and the physicochemical properties of Mucuna flagellipes seeds were assessed. Mucuna flagellipes also known as “Ukpo” seeds were purchased from a local market and divided into three portions. The first sample labeled with A was processed by frying and the second sample of the seeds labeled B was boiled, while the third sample labeled with C was processed by roasting.
