Street food vending is a common feature of most cities and towns in developing countries, Aside provision of ready-made instant meals at relatively inexpensive prices, teeming urban dwellers are attached to street foods because of its gustatory attributes. Street food vending makes up the significant proportion of informal sector of the economy of most developing countries. Street foods contribute to a significant number of food poisonings due to paucity of data deficiencies in knowledge abou...
Aquaculture has been a growing activity for the last 20 years worldwide and this impressive development has been attended by some practices potentially damaging to animal health. The bacterial infections are considered the major cause of mortality in aquaculture. Among the common fish pathogens, A. hydrophila and Y. ruckeri as gram-negative and S. agalactiae, L. garvieae and E. faecalis as grampositive bacteria cause infectious diseases.
Abstract Vocational and Technical Education is increasingly becoming individualised, customised and universally accessible. Its future is being shaped by current and emerging technologies that are drastically changing the way in which teaching and learning are experienced. Such changes are as a result of development in the field of educational technology to utilise project based learning, mobile learning devices, cloud computing, 3-D learning tools, blended learning and multifaceted technolog...
This project work was carried out to determine the cyanide content in some bitter cassava species in parts of Ohimini L.G.A of Benue State and finding out the best method to considerably reduce the high content in the cassava.
The research work focused on domestic energy needs in Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano State. The study aimed at determining the various types of energy use by households as well as examining the relationship between household income level and energy consumption. Survey method was used to obtain information about domestic energy needs Questions on various aspect of the study were posed in which members of the population responded to them. The findings revealed that there is a significa...
ABSTRACT The antibacterial producing properties of Actinomycetes were carried out using soil samples collected from different locations at Osun State University, Osogbo, main campus. The soil samples were collected from twelve (12) diffeferent locations within the study site. The samples were cultured aseptically by inoculating each samples on Starch Casein agar and incubated at 30oC. Identification and characterization were carried out by morphology, microscopic and biochemical tests. The pr...
This paper presents design analysis and implementation of a 0.5 KVA uninterruptible electronic power stabilizer (UPSz). Poor and instability of power supply delivery in Nigeria necessitated the need for a device that can stabilize voltage, protect equipment from damages and also provide power to the loads in the absences of electricity from the utility mains. This need motivated the d...
Various hand held devices have been invented and produced as far back as the 1st century B.C to smoothen fabrics. Over the years, irons have come in different shapes, sizes and principle of operation. Since the invention of electricity, electric irons have dominated the iron industry. In developing countries, Erratic and epileptic power supply owing to the inability of public power su...
Abstract— The main objective of the present study was to provide the information on the concentration and distribution of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), in the muscle of different species of domesticated birds (guinea fowl, Local fowl, Cockerel) considering both male and female species using Atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Initially, the samples were digested with concentrated nitric acid, Hydrogen peroxide and Perchloric acid in a T...
The chances of success of an investor in the stock market depends heavily on the decisions he takes based on his knowledge of the behavior of the stock market. In this study, the behavior of a stock on the Nigerian stock exchange market was studied. The Markov Chain with a threshold to determine movement between states, was used to estimate expected long and short-run returns, and the result was compared to the expected return of the Capital Asset Pricing Model. It was observed that the m...
I observed my Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme at Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER), Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. During my SIWES, I was able to learn how to make use of some complex statistical (computational) packages in coding and analyses of data, either primary data or secondary data. And I also learned how to interpret analyzed data for end users. Furthermore, I saw the practical applications of Mathematics to solve problems in organizations, companie...
Abstract The role of enzyme engineering in biotechnol- ogy, biological and pharmaceutical process cannot be over emphasized. This study compared the adsorption of digestives enzymes; amylase, protease and lipase on to Zn- ferrite (ZnFe2O4). The metal ferrite was synthesized via a sol–gel technique and characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption was stu...
ABSTRACT This project is on the design and development of portable and reliable fingerprint based student attendance monitoring system that can be used to monitor attendance of the student. It will eliminate the problems of manual method. The new system utilizes a portable fingerprint scanner as the input to acquire fingerprint images and notebook personal computer as the mobile terminal for the processing of the images and records attendance. It also include database to store students infor...
ABSTRACT “WEB BASED HALL ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” is software developed for managing various activities in the Hall. For the past few years the number of educational institutions is increasing rapidly. Thereby the number of Halls is also increasing for the accommodation of the students studying in this institution. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person who are running the Hall and software’s are not usually used in this context. This particular project deals with the pr...
