Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: 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.
