An Evaluation of Personnel Training Policies of Construction Companies in Nigeria (2012)
Journal Article
Ikediashi, D. I., Ogunlana, S. O., Awodele, O. A., & Okwuashi, O. (2012). An Evaluation of Personnel Training Policies of Construction Companies in Nigeria. Journal of Human Ecology, 40(3), 229-238. https://doi.org/10.31901/24566608.2012/40.03.04

Construction companies are the engines that propel the construction sector of any nation's economy, and are therefore expected to vigorously train their workforce to effectively match this responsibility. This study investigates the personnel trainin... Read More about An Evaluation of Personnel Training Policies of Construction Companies in Nigeria.

Key Performance Indicators of Design and Build Projects in Nigeria (2012)
Journal Article
Ikediashi, D. I., Mendie, A., Achuenu, E., & Oladokun, M. G. (2012). Key Performance Indicators of Design and Build Projects in Nigeria. Journal of Human Ecology, 37(1), 37-46. https://doi.org/10.31901/24566608.2012/37.01.06

The Nigerian Construction Industry has witnessed the evolution of many procurement systems including Design-Build, mainly due to perceived failures of the one-way traditional Design approach. The study, therefore, aims to develop a set of key perform... Read More about Key Performance Indicators of Design and Build Projects in Nigeria.

Multi-band weakly ground-coupled balanced antenna design for portable devices (2012)
Journal Article
Zhou, D., Abd-Alhameed, R., Alhaddad, A., See, C. H., Noras, J., Excell, P., & Gao, S. (2012). Multi-band weakly ground-coupled balanced antenna design for portable devices. IET Science Measurement and Technology, 6(4), 306-310. https://doi.org/10.1049/ie

A balanced antenna for wireless portable devices applications with multiple band operational performance is investigated and discussed. The designed antenna is weakly ground-couple, although can be considered as an energy-efficient radiator. The ante...
