The decision of the Federal and State Governments to leave the responsibility of managing primary education to the local government council brought about the down turn of the standard and quality of primary education as classrooms built for the UPE intake began to collapse,
and could not be rehabilitated. The pupils’ enrolment and attendance started to decline. Instructional materials and equipment became scarce in the schools. The broad objective of this study is to examine the relationship between universal basic education and educational development in Nigeria. The specific objectives of this study are; to assess the rate at which universal basic education programme has contributed to educational development in Nigeria,
ascertain the extent the implementation of the universal basic education programme has gone in educational development in Nigeria among others. Survey design was adopted in this study. The population of the study is 50. The entire population was used as the sample size since it is not up to or above hundred. Data for this study were collected through the use of questionnaire to illicit
response from the respondents. The data collected were analysed using Chi-Square. Some of the findings of the study showed that there is strong relationship between universal basic education programme and educational development in Nigeria, the rate at which universal basic education
programme has contributed to educational development in Nigeria is high and implementation of universal basic education programme has gone to a very large extent in educational development in Nigeria. In conclusion therefore, the introduction of universal basic education programme has significant effect and has gone to a very large extent in educational development in Nigeria. The

model reference adaptive control system, which is a controller in the Neural Network (NN) toolbox. A Speed and Position based MRAC system and a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller were used to control a physical DC servomotor with known parameters. This was achieved through physical measurements by configuration of the servo river, the computer system and the DC motor using, Simulink toolbox and Microsoft Windows Software Development kits (SDKs) 7. The reference input to the system was a step function input. The purpose is to determine the time-response of the developed system also, the stability of the system and its ability to reach one stationary state when starting from another. Results from physical measurements show that MRAC system was able to accommodate nonlinearities associated with DC motor and yet, maintain good control of the
motor without voltage overshoot as against the PID controller.

High precision is paramount and of critical importance in speed and position control ... more High precision is paramount and of critical importance in speed and position control of DC motor, in order to achieve high performance in target position and movements. This paper presents how to improve the control of DC servo motor speed and position using Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) technique of Neural Network (NN). The MRAC architecture uses two neural networks: a controller network and a plant (DC motor) model network. The concept is that the controller output will follow the reference input so that the tracking error of the DC motor is minimized to an acceptable value wit hin the shortest interval. The Artificial Neural Network Inverse Model (AIM) of the plant was developed using Simulink and NN toolboxes. The AIM a nd the controller were trained offline using Feed forward Back propagation Algorithm to determine the initial set of weights and biases. Simulation was performed for two different arbitrary trajectories using different values of feedback gain (Kp). Results show that for the same reference speed trajectory; the modification of speed input to the
AIM using the feedback module leads to precision is position tracking. The Kp value of 1 is used in tracking the speed profile. It can be seen that speed tracking is almost perfectly achieved using the Kp value of 1.

The concept is for the motor output to follow the reference input. An input to the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) controller is made from the DC motor with a corresponding desired or target response set at the output. Feed forward Back propagation training algorithm that propagates error was used in training the network. Error is computed from the difference between the desired response and the system output using the Least Mean Square Error (LMSE). The idea is to bring down the tracking error to zero or minimal acceptable value. Simulation was done at different sampling time and results
show that by reducing the sampling time, the speed profile accuracy can be improved.

Six different existing boreholes were used for this study. Using fiber tape attached to a weight, static water levels were obtai ned during the morning hours before pumping began. The use of questionnaire to assess research question was employed. Four hypotheses where formulated, one null hypothesis was accepted while other three where rejected. The hydrograph shows regions of rising, peak and failing limbs with the month of July having highest rainfall value of 828.2m-. The results indicate highest static water level on locations closer to the Calabar River compared to other far-away locations. Heavy rainfall among other factors is identified as the major cause of flooding within the study
areas. Flooding at Ikot Uduak followed by Essien Town was observed to be more severe to other locations. This calls for proper design and construction of channels to convey water from flood affected lands. Lowering the water table level improved field trafficability and timeliness of crop management operations. Pumping system and water control structures are recommended as these can be managed to create either a constant water table depth or a fluctuating water table level.

To implement this idea to effectively and efficiently decrease BP, different breathing pattern involving differences in times of inhalation and exhalation could be very significant. This study will aim at quantitatively exploring the upshot of different breathing patterns on automated Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP). Forty healthy subjects that include 25 males and 15 females (aged between 18 to 60 years) were employed in this study. Automate SBP were measured using clinically authorized automated BP device. Two repeated measurement sessions was taken for each subject. For each session, eight BP measurements were obtained. The eight BP measurements involve: four measurements during breathing using different patterns (Pattern 1 to Pattern 4) (Pattern 1: (4.5s of inhalation and 4.5s of exhalation); Pattern 2: (6s of inhalation and 2s of exhalation); Pattern 3: (2s of inhalation and 6s of exhalation); Pattern 4: (1.5s of inhalation and 1.5s of exhalation), and another four measurements of the same measurement after a one-minute rest interval. Two baseline BP measurements exist under resting condition at the beginning and end of the two measurement sessions. Lastly, the effect of different breathing patterns on automated SBP during and after deep breathing was analysed in comparison with the automated baseline SBP. Experimental results showed that overall automated SBP measured during deep breathing in Patterns 1, 2 and 4 decreased significantly by 3.7 ± 5.7mmHg, 3.9 ± 5.2 mmHg and 3.3 ± 5.3 mmHg respectively (all p < 0.001)except for Pattern 3 where automated SBP decreased only by 1.7 ± 5.9 mmHg with p value (p < 0.05). Similarly, after deep breathing, automated SBP went back to normal with no significant difference when compared with baseline BP (all p>0.05, except for SBP in pattern 4 with a mean difference of 1.9±3.5 mmHg). In conclusion, a decrease in automated SBP with different breathing patterns has been quantitatively demonstrated with Pattern 2 being most effective, however slow and deep breathing (Pattern 3) inclines to be the best relaxed pattern for subjects to practice.
