    Capability development in adopting active technology transfer stratrgy in Nigerian industries
    (Department of Technology management, Faculty of Technology, Obafemi Awolowo University., 1998) Ephraim Chukwuma OKEJIRI
    The main technology acquisition strategy of most developing countries including Nigeria is based on the concept of technology transfer which emphasizes importation of production technology. This development strategy which emerged post second world war era had roots in the evolutionary theory of social change.

    Optimization of thermal comfort in a naturally ventilated livestock building
    (Department of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Obafemi Awolowo University., 2007) Lawrence Abiodun OGUNJIMI
    This work investigated the effect of building vent and orientation on the thermal comfort of rabbits under a naturally ventilated livestock building. This was with a view to optimizing the productivity of the animals. The study showed that both building orientation with respect to the direction direction of the prevailing wind and size of ventilating opening affected the thermal comfort indicator (THI)

    Evaluation of on-farm potentials of rainwater harvesting technology for maize production using the aquacrop model
    (Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, Obafemi Awolowo University, 2015) OKUNADE, David Adebimpe
    The study evaluated soil moisture retention potentials in the various soil-water conservation (SWC) and management practices and examined the growth and yield response of maize to on-farm SWC methods with or without rain water harvesting (RWH). it also determined the water-use efficiency (WUE) of maize under the rained and RWH systems, and adapted and tested the Aqua crop model to simulated and predict maize yield in the systems. Furthermore, it validated the model and provided RWH and water management schemes consistent with optimal yield performance with a view to mitigating the effects of droughts and dry spells on maize (Zea Mays L.) cultivation.

    Development of digital multimedia resources for african tone languages.
    (Department of Computer science and Engineering, Faculty of Technology. Obafemi Awolowo University., 2024) OLORUNLOMERUE, Adam Biodun.
    The study determined the requirement for a digital resources for African tone languages in the context of multiplatform computing applications. It also specified a digital resources framework, designed the computing standard, interface and tool for the resources specified, implemented the designs and evaluated the implemented digital computing resources system. These were with a view to developing a computing tool with a multimedia application for African tone languages.
