Counterfeiting is the concern of everyone – the consumers and the manufacturers alike. Drugs counterfeiting has been on the increased, the market is not sought for and the income is on the high side but to the detriment of both the consumers, suppliers and manufacturers. Technology can be of utmost importance in this area via the development of an interacting and authenticating system with a database that will authenticate drugs. The drug interacting authenticating systems will confirm the ...
ABSTRACT Elastic foundation can be refered to as soil surface that can expand and assume its original position on application of force. Numerous research works has been carried out on pipeline supported beam using different method of analysis such as Differential Transform Method, Finite difference Method Finite Quadrature Element Method and so on. This work examines the vibration analysis of pipeline supported beam on elastic foundation using Fourier Transform Method in form of non-prisma...
Nine samples of freshly prepared kunu was taken from local vendors and hawkers at Tanke area, Ilorin, Kara State and analyzed for microbial quality. The pH of the samples ranged from 2.66 to 4.06. The total bacterial count ranged from 1.5×104 to 7.4×104 cfu/ml; the total coliform count ranged from 1.0x102 to 8.0x103cfu/ml; the faecal coliform count ranged from 0 to 3.0x103cfu/ml; the total fungi count ranged from 3.2x104 to 2.7x105cfu/ml. The presence of high microbial load was an indicatio...
Docking is a structure-based technique which attempts to find the “best” match, between two molecules. Molecular docking can be thought of as a problem of “lock-and-key”, in which one wants to find the correct relative orientation of the “key” which will open up the “lock” (where on the surface of the lock is the key hole, which direction to turn the key after it is inserted, etc.). The explosion of structural informatics, genomics and proteomic plays a major role in leading t...
ABSTRACT This project details the results of a research work carried out to develop fish feed compounded from locally available materials in the institute of oceanography fish farm and analyzed its nutritional values, in the biochemistry department all in the University of Calabar. On the basis of the feed production, it is recommended that the feeding regime of the animal (fish) for intended culture is known, a dry diet formulation of two distinct feed lines was produced (fingerlings and...
ABSTRACT This research compare the students’ academic performance using JAMB scores and CGPA inBenue state University Makurdi, and the level at which the divergence in grades started is ofparamount importance. Two faculties in the institution were selected. The multiple regressionanalysis carried out shows that JAMB scores as well as yearly GPAs can predict the finalCGPA. From the student (t) distribution it was observed that the model contribute information tothe yearly GPA...
ABSTRACT Wi-Fi signals are susceptible to signal loss as they travel hence Wi-Fi users are rarely completely satisfied with the signal strength offered by the off-the-shelf Wi-Fi cards, routers and access points. This project research intends to introduce a device which can provide Wi-Fi users with high signal strength and at a lower cost in order to enable them have a seamless, uninterrupted and reliable communication. This project includes the steps for Biquad antenna construction, ste...
ABSTRACT Nutritional and antinutritional content of ingredient used in preparing dambu were determined by proximate composition, vitamins, minerals and antinutritional contents analysis. Maize and Moringa flowers were used as the experimental samples and the work was conducted in triplicate which resulted in obtaining the experimental result in mean and standard deviation. Appreciable amount of nutritive composition were obtain in the used maize and Moringa samples. While the antinutritional...
ABSTRACT In this project work, we studied the Adams-Bashforth scheme for solving initial value problems. We gave an indebt explanation on the Adam-Bashforth scheme, its consistency, stability, and convergence, the two and three step methods were also derived. Numerical solutions were obtained using four (4) examples. TABLE OF CONTENTS Cover page i �...
ABSTRACT This research work examines the effects of some factors influencing Hypertension, and the data used was obtained from the case-hypertensive patients’ record at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (2007 - 2012). Basically, the target of this research are patients of infections/diseases (e. g. HIV/AIDS) that later developed hypertension. The Pearson’s Chi-square test statistic – testing for independence, the Odds ratio, Relative risk and Pearson’s product moment correlat...
ABSTRACT Kidney function parameters were evaluated in plasmodium berghei infected mice treated with crude methanol extracts of Azadirachta indica leaves in this study. A total of forty (40) male albino mice inoculated with quinine resistant strains of plasmodium berghei were randomized into nine (9) groups of (4) animals each while four additional mice serve as the uninfected control group. Group 1 was treated with tween 80, group 2 treated with 10mg/kg chloroquine while groups 3,4, and 5...
The linear multi-step method in this work is established to be a numeric fixed point iterative method for solving the initial value problem. Such that when βk ̸= 0, the method is called implicit or otherwise, it is called an explicit method. In section one, preliminaries of the linear multi-step methods bordering on the truncation errors and consistency conditions were discussed while section two is devoted to theoretical presentation of the usual Hamming’s method as a fixed point iterati...
This study evaluated the thermo-physical and rheological properties of Ogi produced from varieties of sorghum with different soaking period (12, 24 and 36 hrs.). Sorghum grain steeped for 12, 24 and 36 hrs. was processed into Ogi making use of the traditional method and subsequently dried at 55oC. The Ogi powder obtained was analyzed for functional, thermo-physical, rheological properties and the consumer acceptability was also carried out. The results showed that the bulk density ranged from...
research work presents an important Banach Space in functional analysis which is known and called Hilbert space. We verified the crucial operations in this space and their applications in physics particularly in quantum mechanics. The operations are restricted to the unbounded linear operators densely defined in Hilbert space which is the case of prime interest in physics, precisely in quantum machines. Precisely, we discuss the role of unbounded linear operators in quantum mechanics partic...
Tendency for data mining application in healthcare today is great, because healthcare sector is rich with information, and data mining is becoming a necessity. Healthcare organizations produce and collect large volumes of information on daily basis. Use of information technologies allows automatization of processes for extraction of data that help to get interesting knowledge and regularities, which means the elimination of manual tasks and easier extraction of data directly from electronic r...
