Planning to Fail or Failing to Plan: Institutional Response to Nigeria’s Development Question

Osabuohien Evans; Efobi Uchenna; Adeleke Salami
Despite recent interest in the interplay between institutions and growth, country studies in developing countries particularly relating to planning has not been given considerable attention. This forms the main motivation for this study, which evaluates the economic planning in Nigeria and discusses how institutions play influential roles on the kind of economic outcomes emanating from planning...

EFFECT OF GEOMETRY ON THE ANALYSIS OF THERMAL

P.O. Olanrewaju1, A.S. Eegunjobi2, E.A. Owoloko3
ABSTRACT This study is devoted to investigate the effect of geometry on thermal explosion of a strong exothermic chemical reaction with variable pre-exponential factor under Bimolecular, Arrhenius and Sensitised reaction rate, neglecting the consumption of the material are examined. Analytical solutions are constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary-value problem using perturbation te...

The Effect of Fixed and Random Models in the

1E. Alfred Owoloko and 2J.E. Alika
Abstract: Problem statement: Data on variation of sugar content in maize Ogi, fermented maize flour, obtained from 4 maize hybrids subjected to 5 different days of fermentation were used to test the effects of fixed and random statistical models on the interpretation of biological results. Approach: The data were subjected to analysis of variance using both fixed and random models. Results:...

Optimal advert placement slot – using the knapsack problem model

Owoloko, E. A., Sagoe E.T.
The Knapsack problem model is a general resource allocation model in which a single resource is assigned to a number of alternatives with the objective of maximizing the total return. In this work, we applied the knapsack problem model to the placement of advert slots in the media. The aim was to optimize the capital allocated for advert placements. The general practice is that funds are al...

COMPACT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEMES FOR

Felix M. Okoro, Alfred E. Owoloko*
The Compact Finite Difference Schemes for the solution of one, two and three dimensional Poisson equation is considered in this paper. The discretization using the truncation errors of the Taylor’s series method are of oh4  and oh6 . In the one and two dimension cases, the stencils are of 9-point. In the three dimension case, the oh4  scheme is 19-point stencil and the oh6  scheme is...

A one-way dissection of high-order compact scheme

F. M. Okoro* and E. A. Owoloko
We present a one-way dissection formulation of high-order compact scheme for the solution of 2D Poisson equation. One-way dissection is a type of matrix reordering, divide and conquers procedure. Efficient and concise compact schemes of 4th and 6th orders are derived using the truncation errors of the Taylors’ series expansion of the governing equation. The system is split into sub-domains a...

Viscous Dissipation Effect on Flow through a Horizontal Porous

Okedayo. T. Gideon, E. A. Owoloko1 and O. E. Osafile2
The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of viscous dissipation, constant wall temperature and a periodic pressure field on unsteady flow through a horizontal channel filled with porous material. The coupled nonlinear differential equations governing the flow were solved analytically using the usual method of separation variables and simple perturbation techniques. Effects o...

A Regular Perturbation Analysis Of The Non-Linear Contaminant Transport Equation

1O. T. Gideon, E.A. Owoloko and 2O. E. Osafile
In this research work, we provide a regular perturbation analysis of a non – linear equation arising in contaminant transport. The equation is characterised by advection, diffusion and absorption. Assuming the adsorption term is modelled by a Freundlich isotherm it can be non-linear in concentration and non-differentiable as the concentration approaches zero. We consider the approximation o...
