| Description: | This work comprises a selection of 109, peer-reviewed papers on Engineering Research and Development: Innovations. It addresses a number of the scientific issues underlying innovations in Materials and Systems research at the global level, while paying particular attention to possible processes that may permit the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations in Developing Countries. The papers are grouped into chapters on: Construction and Structures; Electrical and Electronic Technology; Food and Agricultural Technology; Manufacturing Systems; Materials Processing; Oil and Gas; Renewable Energy; Systems Design and Analysis; Tools, Machines and Equipment; Waste Technology; and Water Engineering. It will therefore be of great interest and value to those working on environmental issues and infrastructure-planning. Review from Book News Inc.: These 109 papers presented during the April 2008 conference discuss construction, electrical technology, agriculture, material processing, oil and gas, renewable energy, machinery, system design, and waste treatment in developing countries. Many of the papers specifically deal with the power and natural resource industries in Nigeria, and most of the contributors are Nigerian academics. Topics include a prototype palm nut separator, a field comparison of tomato irrigation scheduling, the impact of Nigerian power sector reforms, concrete made from Benin silty sand, and an electronic patient record system using smart cards.
