Anthropogenic Wind Mill
Abstract: Electricity can also be generated from artificially generated wind using blower. A prototype model can be developed which generates constant power from artificially generated constant flow of wind. Artificially generated air is flown through wind mill which is coupled to an alternator in such a way that constant electricity is generated. This wind mill is called the anthropogenic wind mill (AWM). Anthropogenic is basically a Greek word which means “artificial.” …

Structural Responses of Offshore Jacket Platform Subject to Seismic Ground Acceleration and Wave Forces
Abstract: In this paper, the effect of seismic ground acceleration on offshore platforms in the Malaysian waters has been investigated. In the Malaysian region of South China Sea, the conventional practice applied to design of offshore structures is to assume that forces induced on the platforms due to waves, current and wind control the overall response of the structures. Seismic analysis is not conducted since Malaysia is not located in a …

Petroleum and The Nigerian Economy (1999–2007): Between NEO-Colonialism and Domestic Collaborators
Abstract: This paper analyzes the state of the petroleum sector and its impact on Nigerian economy from 1999–2007.

Between 1999 and 2007, President Obasanjo’s Government failed to reposition the Nigerian oil sector in such a way that it will benefit all Nigerians. Instead, the administration opened …
