The aim of this work is to integrate seismic facies and geologic model for play assessment and prospect identification. Checkshots, seismic and wireline log data were used for the study. The structural interpretation involved a well–to–seismic tie, faults and horizon mapping on the seismic data, building of isochron, isopach and isochore maps. The seismic facies interpreted include: parallel continuous low to moderate amplitude; wavy continuous low to moderate amplitude; oblique discontinuous low amplitude; high angle oblique continuous; mounded chaotic low amplitude and mounded continuous low amplitude. Well data shows that parallel and wavy continuous facies are associated with channel deposits but possess poor reservoir/seal pair, and may hold little or no hydrocarbons

This research paper focuses mainly on robotics and industrial level automation respect to the mathematical modelling and programming with simulation. Where the accuracy requirement is nearly 100%, the human resources cannot handle the workload and unable to achieve the required accuracy in less time; hence the industrial robots are used. The research paper mainly focused on the industrial robot and automation design and calculation. The advanced mathematical formula, mechanical & electrical component, and the programming language come together to prepare the required industrial robot. The 6-axis robot is a well-known standard robot, which is commonly used by all kinds of MNCs for heavy and accurate work. When selecting a robot properly, it is necessary to consider the different properties of the robot, including how the robot links are connected and controlled at each joint. Next, a thorough evaluation of robotic kinematics, dynamics, and control strategies, together with all the diagnosis of deep neural networks, will describe recent efforts to accelerate the advancement of intelligent control systems for robotic systems.

This paper presents the investigation of pozzolanic action of ash from clean sawdust biomass. Sawdust biomass was obtained from timber market Owerri. It was cleaned by removing the earth and other impurities. After cleaning the biomass, it was incinerated to ashes inside a clean metallic drum. The ash deposit was collected and sieved using 425 microns sieve to remove coal and unburnt sawdust particles. When this was done, the ash was subjected to physical and chemical tests. Sandcrete blocks were made using sand, cement, water and the ash obtained herein. The ash was used to replace the cement at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% levels. A constant water-cement ratio (by mass) of 0.6 was used. Three hollow blocks of 450 x 225 x 225 mm was molded for each mix ratio. The produced sandcrete blocks were cured for 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 56 and 90 days. Curing was achieved by covering the blocks with a cloth (something like blanket), which was kept moist........

A simple oxygen enrichment method was devised. The method use magnetic induction with Lorentz force and Hall effect. Paramagnetic oxygen molecules become subjected to force and are separated from air by the Hall effect. Many variables such as power, gap between electrodes and the number of electrodes affected oxygen separation. The variables were optimized separately through experimental studies. There was optimum number of sets of the electrodes for the oxygen separation although the oxygen concentration increased as the number of sets of electrode plates increased. It seems to be related to the power supplied to each electrode. The oxygen concentrations at the O2-rich outlet also increased as the output voltage to the electrodes increased. The oxygen enrichment was maximized through the device with 3 sets of electrodes and output voltage of 12.5V, showing the possibility of a simple and inexpensive oxygen separation device.

This work deals with the evaluation of the influence of cutting gap on the quality of cutting surface in the ways of cutting electrical steel. The theoretical part of this work contains knowledge related to sheet metal cutting technology. In this part we also focused on the problem of electrical steel which is the part of electric motors. The effort to increase the effect of those devices is closely related to the quality of the process of cutting metal contact segments for electric motors. One of the most important parameters of the cutting technology is the cutting gap that has got an essential impact on the formation of the cutting surface, on its shape, on the layout the strip of the cut and on the strengthening of material. The experimental part of this work is focused on the cutting of electrical steel.

It is a long-term debate about how people perceive the emotional perception of artistic painting. Some artists and theorists claim that certain characteristics of painting, such as color, line, and content, can always express an objective emotion. In this regard, we did three studies; first, we established an abstract art painting data set, including geometrical abstract paintings and expressionist abstract paintings as well as the inverted images of these paintings. We analyzed the observer's four different abstract art paintings. Secondly, I use the continuous flash suppression paradigm to study the time for the subconscious observer to break through the inhibition of the four types of paintings; finally, we use the continuous flash paradigm to perform subconsciously on different facial expressions Experiment to study whether subjects have the same effect on abstract painting and facial expressions under consciousness...........

African breadfruit (Treculia africana) seeds were purchased from Onitsha main market, Anambra State, Nigeria. Extraction, Proximate analysis and phytochemical screening of oil from the seeds of Treculia africana were carried out using standard methods. The sample was milled into flour of small particle size. Oil extraction was carried out using petroleum ether and diethyl ether as solvents with a yield of 10.7% and 14.0% respectively, indicating that diethyl ether extracts gave a higher percentage of oil as compared with petroleum ether. This also indicates that breadfruit seed is a good source of vegetable oil and energy. Proximate analysis of the flour of breadfruit seed revealed that the sample contained 4.89% moisture content, 1.90% ash, 8.51% crude fat, 5.61% crude fibre, 27.94% crude protein and 51.15% carbohydrate (CHO). Phytochemical screening shows the presence of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols, essential oil, saponins, tannins and amino acids except for alkaloids and sugar, indicating that the plant would have good medicinal applications as these metabolites have been reported to be good antifungal, antibacterial and good oxidant enriching food with nutrients.

Human existence is a complex phenomenon. Through the course of the development of human thought, there has been diverse ways and attempts at offering insights into the complex phenomenon of human existence. Humanism is a discourse on human existence. In the contemporary age of scientific and technological advancement, the Homo technologicus model is becoming more and more the dominant paradigm, and the challenges set forth by the transhuman agenda is profoundly unsettling. The transhuman agenda challenges the very concept of human nature, the relationship of persons to nature, science, technology, medicine, genetic engineering, and cultural values. In the context of transhumanism, the human person has become the "supreme being" for humanity. But the paradox is that transhumanism maintains that, humanity itself must be transcended, there is neither male nor female, human nature..........
