    An evaluation of library resources, services and use of Kogi state university, Ayigba, library
    (Nigerian Library Association, Kwara State Chapter, 2013) Kutu, J. O.; Adesanya, O. O.
    This research evaluated the library resources, service and use of Kogi State University Library. Ayigba. The main objective of the research is to find out the varieties of learning resources available: services rendered: and how effectively they are being utilized by the students and staff The survey research design was adopted with the questionnaire serving as the main instrument for data collection. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents were randomly selected from the students and staff but ninety-five of them responded. Descriptive statistical methods were used in analyzing the data generated. The finding identifies some of the problems of academic libraries to include outdated books, inadequate space, noisy environment, and lack of automation of libraries resources. Also the libraries were not adequately staffed.

    Performance analysis of a modified pneumatic separator for cowpeas
    (2007-12) Simolowo, O. E.; Araromi, O. T.; Adesanya, O. O.
    In this work, modifications have been done on a prototype pneumatic separator to improve its efficiency. The effects of the modifications were studied by carrying out performance test analyses on the two blowers and reciprocating sieve mechanism which make up the critical components of the separating machine. The variations in the feed weights of the sieve were analyzed to determine the best and most effective screening process. Also, the best and least tilt angles of the blowers were considered to determine the best and least blowing processes to clean the beans. The results of analyses showed that for a feed weight of 3.0kg the sieving process attained its best efficiency of 50.2%. The maximum efficiency of 79.2% for the first pneumatic separator was obtained at a tilt angle of 30°, while a maximum of 77.7% was obtained for the second separator at 0° tilt angle. An overall efficiency of 77% was estimated for the modified pneumatic separator.
