Proximate Composition and Antihtperglycaemic Effects of Selected Plant Products

Abstract The proximate, dietary fibre, mineral and antinutrient compositions of Gongronema latifolium (leaves), Gymnema sylvestre (leaves), Corchorus olitorius (leaves) and Bulchozia coriceae (seeds) were evaluated. Diabetes was induced in selected albino rats while the control groups were normal. Both groups were fed diets containing different levels of each plant product (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0% respectively) for twenty-eight days. Effects of plant products on blood glucose, sodium, pot...

APPLICATION OF COMPUTER BASED EXAMINATION SYSTEM

ABSTRACT Electronic supported assessment or  E-assessment is a field of growing importance. preparing manual  test is a difficult  task to handle and a time consuming process for teachers, in which they have to prepare both fair and consistent exam for each class. Besides, even is the teacher can prepare a sufficient exam, it is difficult to prevent students from cheating and if teachers cannot prevent them from doing this injustice, it will occur again and again. With this new system,...

Microbiological Evaluation of Bacteria Species Isolated from Zobo and Kunnu Sold in Olabisi Onabanjo University

ABSTRACT Zobo and Kunu drinks are non-alcoholic beverage that is widely produced and consumed in Nigeria.The beverage may possess health risk when contaminated due to method of preparation. Zobo and Kunu drinks were purchased from different sellers in Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye Ogun State. Physical and chemical analysis of the drinks were carried out, involving pour plate were also employed to isolate bacteria from these drinks. The microbial qualities were determined using pour p...

Assessment of Phytoremediation Potential of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L Walp) on used Motor Oil Contaminated Soil

Abstract: Phytoremediation has been identified as an effective option for the clean-up of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil. The aim of this study is to assess the potential of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp (cowpea) in the remediation of used motor oil contaminated soil. The germination and growth of cowpea on soil contaminated with 5% (w/w) of used motor oil was monitored for 28 days. One of the treatments received 15% (w/w) poultry manure seven days after pollution. Result of the phys...

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON THE AWARENESS AND USAGE OF INTERNET LIBRARY AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN YABA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY (2)

ABSTRACT   For schools to be effective, computer literacy should be demonstrated through computer availability as well as student’s awareness and usage of library related website. The research design is a descriptive survey which comprises a sample of 383 students randomly selected from a population of YABATECH students. The research instrument is a well-designed questionnaire for students. The statistical tools employed in to analyze the data are frequency and percentage distribution; t...

The antibacterial effect of the leaf extract of buchhozia coriacea

Abstract: This study was aimed at determining the antibacterial effect of the leaf extract of Buchholzia coriacea (Wonderful Kola) on nasal isolates. Nasal isolates were collected from one hundred students of the Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwash-uku, Delta State. The antimicrobial activity of the methanolic extract of the leaves was assessed against nasal isolated microorganisms (E.coli, Citrobacter species, Klebsiella species, and Proteus species) using the agar well diffusion method. Inh...

Evaluation of polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Selected Heavy Metals Levels in Water around Zaakpon, Rivers State

                      Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals and physiochemical parameters were measured in water samples from zaakpon community. The results shows that most of the parameters in water were within safe limits except turbidity, potassium and Phosphate while PAHs concentrations in water were below detection limit

CLOUD BASED TRAIN TICKETING SYSTEM FOR NIGERIAN RAILWAY

The author proposes to build a unique and easy to use train ticketing system with QR code for my final year project using cloud infrastructure. The system allows users to register and as soon as they register an account with unique id is created in the system. User may book or buy tickets and fare is calculated according to station distance. The cloud server allows for handling a large number of users using efficient computing power. It allows for efficient and fast computing for ticket costs...

Corrosion Inhibition of 5-Methyl-2H-imidazol-4-carboxaldehyde and 1H-Indole-3-carboxyaldehyde on Mild Steel in 1.0 M HCl: Gravimetric Method and DFT Study

Abstract Weight loss and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods were used to study the corrosion inhibition of 5-methyl-2H-imidazol-4-carboxaldehyde and 1H-Indole-3-carboxaldehyde on mild steel in acid medium. The values of thermodynamic parameters such as free energy of adsorption (ΔGºads), adsorption equilibrium constant (Kads), adsorption entropy (ΔSºads), adsorption enthalpy (ΔHºads) and activation energy (Ea) were calculated and discussed. The adsorption process on mild steel surf...

Excess lifetime Cancer risk and Radiation Pollution hazard indices in rocks and soil of some selected mining sites in Nasarawa State, Nigeria

Radiation exposures from mining and mineral processing  industries can lead to high incidence of disease conditions like  nausea, lung cancer, sterility, fatigue, and diarrhoea among mine workers. The concentration of primodial radionuclides (238U,  232Th and 40K) in some selected mining sites in Nasarawa State,  Nigeria, was examined in this study. Soil and rock samples from  eight different mining sites were collected and analyzed for  radionuclides activity concentration by gamma ray...

A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Storage Period on Flavour Profile and Consumers’ Acceptability of Tsire, a Nigerian Stick Meat

Tsire is a popular Nigerian stick meat commonly produced by grilling of sliced and spicedbeef meat hanged on tips of sharpened sticks. The process of grilling initiatescharacteristic flavour development in the product, making it appealing to consumers.Unfortunately, sellers of the product do not usually exhaust their sales and product may beleft over till second day or more. This may adversely affect the flavour appeal andacceptability of the product. In the present study, the flavour compoun...

Numerical Solution of a One-Dimensional Second Order Macroscopic Traffic Flow Model with a Source Term.

The study of traffic models has given rise to many models with the aim of realistically determining the behavior of traffic. The dynamics of the macroscopic traffic flow is modeled by a partial differential equation, where the object of study is to determine the density of traffic flow. We derived a second order macroscopic traffic flow model equation from a first order one using the Fick’s law of diffusion. We formulated second order macroscopic traffic flow model equation with a sourc...
