ABSTRACT Walling materials play a vital role in the construction of buildings. The study run a comparative analysis between Hydraform blocks and sandcrete blocks which are both major components of walling to ascertain which block is more cost effective, has high compressive strength and compare the benefit of Hydraform block to sandcrete block. Snowball sampling technique was used to sample data from nine professionals who have experience in the use of both Hydraform blocks and sandcrete ...
ABSTRACT Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associated with gaseous spoilage of modified – atmosphere – packaged, raw, tomato – marinated boiler meat striped were identified on the basis of a restriction fragment. Lactic acid bacteria are the dominant spoilage organisms in vacuum or modifies atmosphere – packaged meat products. Spoilage is mainly caused by lactobacillus. The activities of these organisms at stationary phase produce the compounds associated with sensory spoilage. The present s...

In a construction project as in any other projects, one of the first steps is to obtain the cost estimate for the project. For a construction project to be successful, the contractor has to first get a cost estimate. This will be the basis (the foundation) on which his tender, and consequently his execution of the whole project will be based. A defunct cost estimate may therefore lead to a bad job execution. On the other hand over-estimation for a project may prevent the contractor from winni...
