Thornthwaite’s Potential Evapotranspiration Rate Assessment and Implication on Rainfall Induced Floods in a Coastal Expanse of Nigeria
Abstract: This study examined the potential evapotranspiration (PET) rate effects on rainfall-induced floods within Port Harcourt, a coastal city in Nigeria. Mean monthly rainfall and air temperature data for 39 years (1979–2018) was sourced from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency and used to evaluate the potential evapotranspiration (PET) of the area using the Thornthwaite’s method. Results revealed that the mean rainfall and PET values for Port Harcourt during the periods under review …

ANALYSIS OF G+15 NORMAL RCC FRAME AND ZIPPER BRACED FRAME BY PUSH OVER METHOD IN SAP2000
Abstract: This paper describes the comparative analysed results of R.C.C zipper braced frame with standard RCC regular frame for residential building of G+15 storey. The modelling of zipper braced frame were done by using pushover analysis method in SAP2000 software. Pushover analysis were performed for estimating the hinges in both frames, displacement, base shear and modal time period. The analysis indicates that there is almost insignificant hinges in zipper braced frame …

Monsoon Flood Forecasting in Gandak River Using Discreet Wavelet Transform
Abstract: The Gandak River in North Bihar carries huge flood during the monsoon period. The daily variation in its flow during this period is so significant that conventional methods find it difficult to model the flow. In this paper, new models employing discreet wavelet transform (DWT) have been developed to forecast daily flows in a large river like Gandak. DWT decomposes the flow series into constituent wavelet components of ``approximations’’ and …

Optimization of Cement Replacement by Fly Ash in Compressive Strength of Portland Cement Concrete
Abstract: The production of cement has been known for its additive role in environmental pollution. As a measure of abatement of pollution effort, scientist have evoked the concept of diluting cement with various pozzolanic additive like fly ash, blast furnace slag etc. Many of these additives were found to be acceptable for cement replacement, but their exact role and efficacy remains elusive. In the present study, fly ash was added as …

Study of Heat Transfer in a Time Dependent Vertically Oscillating Micropolar Liquid
Abstract: AbstractThe study involves the vertical time periodic vibration of the system. This leads to the appearance of a modified gravity term in basic equation, collinear with actual gravity, in the form of a time-periodic field perturbation and is termed as gravity modulation or g-jitter in the literature. The aim of this study is to find the effect of small amplitude of gravity modulation on the onset of thermal convection between …

Brain Abscess Originating From Odontogenic Infection: Rare But Life Threatening Sequelae of Dental Origin
Abstract: Archeological excavations have revealed that the cause of the several deaths of the pharaohs of Egypt was brain abscess originating from foci of dental infection. Effective drug treatment and medical regimens for the treatment of brain abscess were unavailable, until the age of modern antibiotics and advanced surgical techniques.
