Review on Azomethine-Compounds with Their Applications
Abstract: Azomethine derivatives are very important and the initiating compound for most synthetic chemistrycompounds in all their fields. Since R, R1 is an alkyl or aryl group, the first to prepare and isolate itwas the German scientist Hugo Schiff in 1864 from the condensation of the carbonyl group (aldehyde,ketone) with a primary amine compound (aliphatic, aromatic). During the past few decades there hasbeen great interest in Schiff base compounds. The rules …

Environmental implications of stubble and their usages as soil and concrete reinforcement
Abstract: Stubble burning has been reckoned among the major contributors to air pollution, especially in North India. It is a significant source of gaseous pollutants causing serious damage to human health and the environment. The situation is more hazardous due to the intensive rice-wheat rotation system which generates a large amount of stubble with no significant use as good as burning due to poor knowledge of the management of stubble. It …

DESIGN OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AT ORLU JUNCTION, IHIALA, ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA
Abstract: The vast increase in population results in number of vehicular movement which contributes to volume of traffic at road intersections. This traffic jam is much during festive periods, causing delay which has negative impact to the economy. No one can easily predict the time of journey arrival due to gridlock at intersection on highways. This inefficient traffic movement is caused by absence of traffic control systems. Hence, this study had …
