This study examined the analysis of savings and investment patterns among rural farming households in Yewa Division of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study was based on primary data obtained in a cross-section of 120 farming households drawn by multi- stage random sampling.Results showed that 44.2% were males with age bracket 31 – 40 years. The famers were mostly married 90.8% and 52.5% practice Islamic religion. The percentage of those that were educated was 64.2% and majority of these farmers (37.5%) had a farming experience of about 6-10years. The income level earned by these farmers was majorly between N20,000.00–N40,000.00 which is approximately (50%) of the entire sampled households.The Regression 2 Analysis of the determinants of savings among the respondents revealed an Adjusted R value of 0.579 which implies that 57.9% of the variation in dependent variable (Y) which is farm output is accounted for by the selection of socio-economic variables (X -X ) included in the model.Evidence from the study shows that 1 8 age, marital status and return on investment are statically significant in determining the investment pattern of the farmers in the survey area. It is therefore recommended that support should be given for the establishment of farm service centres reasonably close to the farmers, through which they may be able to gain access to modern inputs

There is a retarded growth in poultry egg production in Ogun state, Nigeria. This has led to high cost of production and the average market prices of the product. The study therefore examined the technical efficiency of poultry egg production in Ogun state, Nigeria using the stochastic frontier production function model. Primary data were collected using a set of structured questionnaire from one hundred and twenty (120) poultry egg farmers who were selected using multi-stage sampling techniques, from Poultry Association of Nigeria, Ogun State chapter. The level of technical efficiencies (TE) varied widely across farms, ranging between 64 percent and 97 percent, with a mean value of 85.6 percent. Only years of experience negatively affected the TE while an increase in other socio-economic variables, such as education, age and location of farm led to an increase in the TE value. The major constraints in poultry egg production ranked in order of unbearable cost of feed, inadequate fund and capital, lack of disease control facilities and unstable power supply. This study recommends dissemination of improved modern technology in egg production to the poultry egg farmers.

This study examined farm size and productivity of food crop farmers in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study was based on primary data obtained through the use of structured questionnaires. The survey involved a cross section random selection of 112 farming households from the study area. Data were obtained on the socio – economic characteristic of the farming members of the households, mode of land acquisition, parcels of land available for cultivation, total parcels of land cultivated, resources used, cost and outputs of food crops on parcels of land cultivated. The data was analyzed by both descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier model with the level of land fragmentation measured by Simpson index as well as the number of parcel cultivated. It was found that significant evidence exists to show that most farms cultivated in the study area are relatively fragmented which was caused by inheritance mode of land acquisition and this have effect on food crop production. The farm sizes cultivated by farming households have significance effect on output. Hired labour and cost of intermediate materials used have significant effect on the production efficiency of farmers. The finding revealed that most farming households in the study area were found operating relatively on scattered farm land. On the basis of the above findings, it was recommended that Farmers' accessibility to loans should be addressed by government and to establish farm estate, pattern of land holding and also acquisition of more farmland should be addressed for high production efficiency.

The production of pharmaceutical ingredients, intermediates and final products strongly depends on the utilization of water. Water is also required for the purification and preparation of reagents. Each specific application determines the respective water quality. In the European Union, the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.) contains the official standards that assure quality control of pharmaceutical products during their life cycle. According to this, the production of water for pharmaceutical use is mainly based on multi-stage distillation and membrane processes, especially, reverse osmosis. Membrane distillation (MD) could be an alternative process to these classical methods. It offers advantages in terms of energy demand and a compact apparatus design. In the following study, the preparation of pharmaceutical-grade water from tap water in a one-step process using MD is presented. Special emphasis is placed on the performance of two different module designs and on the selection of optimum process parameters.

Abstract Mechanical means of positioning are frequently used in mechanical assembly processes. However, very little attention has been paid to the selection of mechanical alignment systems (MAS) for assembly processes. Our analysis shows that if the MAS are not properly selected, the form errors as well surface waviness and roughness of the workpieces to be assembled can badly limit the level of accuracy achievable. A simulation-based methodology is described to study the alignment accuracy for multi-stage processes. Such cases are common, where fabrication operations are done on parts before they are assembled. The study shows that if the workpieces are aligned in the same orientation, using similar or identical MAS for the fabrication processes and assembly processes, then the effect of the form errors as well as surface waviness and roughness of the workpieces can be greatly suppressed.

Sample allocation and selection technology is of great significance in the test plan design of prognostics validation. Considering the existing researches, the importance of prognostics samples of different moments is not considered in the degradation process of a single failure. Normally, prognostics samples are generated under the same time interval mechanism. However, a prognostics system may have low prognostics accuracy because of the small quantity of failure degradation and measurement randomness in the early stage of a failure degradation process. Historical degradation data onto equipment failure modes are collected, and the degradation process model based on the multi-stage Wiener process is established. Based on the multi-stage Wiener process model, we choose four parameters to describe different degradation stages in a degradation process. According to four parameters, the sample selection weight of each degradation stage is calculated and the weight of each degradation stage is used to select prognostics samples. Taking a bearing wear fault of a helicopter transmission device as an example, its degradation process is established and sample selection weights are calculated. According to the sample selection weight of each degradation process, we accomplish the prognostics sample selection of the bearing wear fault. The results show that the prognostics sample selection method proposed in this article has good applicability.
