A SURVEY OF NYMPHALID SPECIES OF BUTTERFLIES IN ABRAKA CAMPUS OF DELTA STAT-1

ABSTRACT Nymphalid butterflies are excellent ecological indicator and portray a good picture of the ecological status of an area. Study on Nymphalid butterflies were carried out in the Delta state University, Abraka campus from five (5) different habitats (Grassland, Farmland, Riverside, Flowering shrub and Moderately disturbed habitat), for the period of four (4) months (May-August, 2015) using baited traps and Pollard sampling method. A total of 167 individuals of Nymphalid butterflies belo...

The Role of Transport in Quality Healthcare Delivery

ABSTRACT This project seeks to link the role of transport to quality healthcare delivery. The main objective of the study was to assess the role of transport in quality healthcare delivery. A variety of primary and secondary data were employed to gather data to respond to the study research questions. The primary data for the study were collected from the respondents through questionnaire administration and oral interview conducted by the researcher. Descriptive statistics was adopted to anal...

The geochemical and mineralogical composition of the sediment penetrated by Tuma-1 in Chad (Bornu) Basin Northeastern Nigeria by XRF geochemical analysis

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Statement The Nigerian sector of  the Chad  Basin, known locally as the  Bornu Basin,  is one of  Nigeria’s inland basins occupying the northeastern part of the country. It represents about one-tenth of the total area extent of the Chad Basin, which is a regional large structural depression common to five countries, namely, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Niger, Chad, and Nigeria. The Bornu Basin falls between latitudes 110N and 140N and longitu...

Interval Velocity Estimations from Seismic Reflection Data

ABSTRACT The research project was carried out to study the estimations of interval velocity from seismic reflection data of the acoustic P waves inside the Earth using the method of time migration which is necessary for obtaining seismic images in regular Cartesian coordinates. The main goals of the research work were to develop algorithms to convert time-migration velocities to true seismic velocities, and to convert time-migrated images to depth images in regular Cartesian coordinates. The...

Microbial Analysis and Proximate Composition of Boiled and Fried Local Cheese (WARA)

Fried cheese locally called Wara gets spoiled when  attacked by pathogenic bacteria, as a result of poor hygiene  practice by the producer and handlers. Wara samples were  bought in Ilesha at Atakumosa market square Osun-state. This  research was designed to isolate and enumerate microorganisms  using standard microbial methods, proximate composition and  the nutritional composition of boiled local and fried cheese  (wara). Proximate analysis was carried out to determine  nutritional ...

Evaluation of an improved inoculation technology using Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 on peat and charcoal for the cultivation of soy bean plant

Nutrient paucity in the soil poses challenge to global production of food. The use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers to boost crop yield is a recurrent farming practice, despite their unfavourable effects and hazard to the environment and human population. This study was aimed at developing an environmental friendly, low cost inoculation technology for the cultivation of soybeans. Laboratory approach was used in the production of the biofertilizer, which started with biochemical characterizat...

This research work is about computer based examination system. CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTION1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY An Examination is one of the best methods of evaluating the knowledge andability of an individual. Its purpose is to assess how much each student haslearned compared to fellow students in the same course or learning situation.Various examination methods are being used in higher education institutions toassess   academic   progress,   such   as   paper-pencil-based   e...

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PYRIDYL BASED SCHIFF

Metal complexes are scientifically known to be active and effective as antibacterial, antivirus and some antifungal etc. This project work is targeted at preparing complex from transition metals say; cobalt, cupper, zinc and nickel and organic ligands synthesised from pyridyl based schiff bases, one from 2-aminopyridine and benzaldehyde and second from 2-aminopyridine and 2,4-dihydroxylbenzaldehyde. The analysis and completion is based on thin-layer chromatography, column-chromatography and I...

IMPLEMENTATION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON CLOUD COMPUTING PRINCIPLES

ABSTRACT In other for a business/firm to get the best out of its employees and a high return on its investment in people, the human resources must be well managed. A good human resource management system brings consistency in human resource management practices and improves human relations in the company thereby enhancing individual/organizational effectiveness. With larger firms/organizations, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage a large number of human resources. Therefore, human r...

Multistage Optimization in Supply Chain (Case Study: WEMY Industries Ltd)

Before the 1950s, logistics was thought of in military terms. It had to do with procurement, maintenance, and transportation of military facilities, material, and personnel. The study and practice of physical distribution and logistics emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. Logistics cost in the U.S. accounted for 15% of the gross national product and on an individual firm level, they could be as high as 32%. In the 1990s, a new name emerges: “supply chain management”. This name took the logisti...

DATA ANALYSIS SOFTWARE TRAINING: MICROSOFT EXCEL

MODULE: COUNTING AND CONVERTING IN EXCEL The functions for counting in Excel are mainly:  COUNT   COUNTA  COUNT BLANK  COUNTIF  COUNTIFS For the basics, we will consider using the COUNT, COUNTA, and COUNT BLANK functions. The COUNT function counts the number of cells in a range that contain numbers. If there are other characters apart from numbers, this function simply ignores them. COUNTA counts non-empty cells in a range. COUNT BLANK counts empty cells in a range.
