Designing, Constructing and Testing a 90 cm Parabolic Satellite Dish Using Fiberglass Material
Abstract: In this paper, we designed and constructed a parabolic satellite dish using fiberglass material for Ku-band reception that would be able to receive stations from any transponder focused on it which may be coded or non-coded stations. To achieve this objective, a parabolic graph was plotted using the geometry calculations of a parabola (i.e., the axis of asymmetry against its directrix). From this calculation and graph, the form-work was obtained …

Performance Evaluation and Yield Stability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Hybrid Genotypes in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Improved maize varieties were released by different agricultural research centers at different times in Ethiopia. However, the productivity of these varieties was not evaluated at wide environment. The variety choice of most farmers in Ethiopia is not suitable for their farm due to lack of awareness about varieties adaptability and their field’s condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability and yield potential of hybrid maize genotypes …
