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 For many decades, nanotechnology has been developed with cooperation from researchers in several fields of studies including physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and computer science and it presents a wide range of problems and opportunities not just diverse issues, but issues of different kinds. In this project, we explore the nanotechnology development community in the area of Nano robotics and its functionality in both the science and medical world hoping is...
ABSRACT The Kenyan CPI data for the period January 2000 to December 2017, obtained from the KNBS website, was the variable of interest, modelled as a time series variable. R was the package used for analysis. Descriptive statistics such as the mean, median, ACF, PACF, time series plots, histograms, lagged scatter plots and qqplots were employed to assess the non-stationarity of CPI after which appropriate smoothing techniques such as differencing were made use of to detrend the data. Formally...
ABSTRACT A total of 100 subjects were screened for S. aureus strains, thirty (30) S. aureus isolates were obatained. The carriage of β-lactamase among the 30 isolates was determined by using starch iodine agar plate method. It was found that 19(63.3%) of the S. aureus strains were β-lactamase producing. Plasmid curing of the β-lactamase producing isolates was done using acredine orange supplimented nutrient agar to determine if their β-lactamase producing capability was plasmid mediated...
A detailed geologic mapping of clay deposits in the Patti Formation around the Ahoko area in Kogi State (north-central Nigeria) was carried out on a scale of 1:12,500. The study area lies within the Lokoja Sub-basin of the Bida Basin between longitudes 60 51l and 60 53l E and latitudes 80 18l and 80 19l N covering a total land area of about 6.85km2 of the Koton-Karfi N-E...
ABSTRACT This research work was focused on the EFFECT OF LACK OF PRACTICAL TOOLS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS in The Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa. The objectives and purpose of the research work is to determine whether factors such as lack of practical tools, lack of enough practical lecturers, improvising of practical tools has any effect on the academic performance of students, also, to determine if students can cope with academics without adequate practical and equipme...
This project intends to solve the problem of petition report submission to public government agencies by the members of the general public through the design and implementation of a Proposed Human Rights Violation Act Online Reporting Portal System for case submissions to the Office of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The system will be developed to be an online web-based platform that will allow petition reporters to submit their cases. The submitted documents will be aut...
ABSTRACT The seroprevalence studies of Plasmodium falciparum, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Samonella typhi, HIV and co-infections by the four pathogens were carried out among patients attending Don Bosco Medical centre Akure and Ondo State Specialist Hospital, Akure. Venous blood were collected from a total of 500 randomly selected patients aged 1 to ≥ 91 years that attended the hospitals for routine medical check up. Diagnostic test kits (“Determine” and ‟Unigo...
The paper tries to investigate all the principles and practices in the management of the electronic medical records. ABSTRACT For many years, health records have been controlled through paper based systems which are vulnerable to destruction, wear and loss hence hinders adequate usability, retrieval and access. In addition, this made health processes to be time consuming and expensive, making the manual records more unreliable. In bid to mitigate these challenges, the Ministry of Health in Ke...
ABSTRACT Basically, it has been observed over the years that number of students live far away from the educational institutions as well as the lecturer who are few times occupied. Thus the main objective of this research work is to develop a general purpose interactive information system where information becomes easier and feedback faster, course materials and assignments also gotten at any location regardless of the time. The student chat information system makes use of Object Oriented Anal...
Chrysophyllum albidum (Sapotaceae) is known to possess bioactive compounds belonging to important phytochemical groups. This work aims at exploring the bioactive constituents of the stem-bark of Chrysophyllum albidum, and further investigating their phytochemical compositions. Stem bark of Chrysophyllum albidum was collected, dried, powdered and extracted with hexane for 13 hours using soxhlet extraction. This was concentrated using a rotary evaporator. Phytochemical screenings of the ext...
ABSTRACT The castor plant is a robust perennial shrub of Euphorbiacaea family. The seeds are documented to have an antibacterial profile against some bacterial organisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, and Streptococcus pyogenes. This study was carried out to ascertain antimicrobial properties inherent in the extracts (aqueous, methanolic and n-hexa...
ABSTRACT Since the Defined Contributory scheme was introduced to replace the Define Benefit scheme in Nigeria, the pension assets in Nigeria has increased annually. The resultant effect of the increase of pension funds implies more responsibility for the Pension fund administrators to shoulder. Pension fund administrators regulated by the National Pension Commission were established to handle the investment of pension assets. The Nigerian bond market is an avenue for the investment of pensio...
ABSTRACT Pepper (Capsicum spp) belongs to the family Solanaceae. It is an important vegetable crop in Nigeria as it is one of the most varied and widely used foods in Nigeria as virtually every Nigerian home consumes it on a daily basis. The genus Capsicum represents a diverse plant group and includes twenty-seven species; five domesticated and twenty-two undomesticated (Bosland, 1993). The domesticated species are Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum ...
ABSTRACT Honey has since been found to possess antibacterial property and is therefore employed for wound and gastro-intestinal disease therapy. This study evaluates the antibacterial spectrum and efficacy of honey and compared with tetracycline. Different concentrations (50, 75 and 100.0 %) of honey were studied in-vitro using Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp, Escherichia coli and Citrobacter spp. The data obtained showed the inhibitory action of honey with clear zones of inhibition...
