ABSTRACT Ethanol is a renewable energy which can be used for domestics, automobile and industrial fuel.  There  is  the  need  to  make  ethanol  cheap  from  agro  wastes.  In  this  Study, Mathematical models were formulated, for the production of ethanol from unpretreated and pretreated banana trunk biomass using the consecutive reaction models where the product of a reaction will be a substrate of another reaction. The kinetics of the different processes ...

ABSTRACT The distribution and characterization of a suspected petroleum bearing site (SPBS) is generally called microbial prospecting. Microbial surface prospecting is a vital process in the exploration of hydrocarbon suspected site.

The study assessed the physicochemical and microbiological   properties   of   soil   and   water   from   Ahoko,   Kogi   State,   and ...

ABSTRACT The study investigates the relationship of information accessibility, knowledge acquisition, management and transfer system among traditional herbal medical practitioners in South-west, Nigeria. It was imperative to go into the study because the orthodox  medicine  has  its  limitations  on  human  health,  while  traditional  herbal medicine is gaining popularity as a result of the fact that its utilisation has little or no side-effects. The problem of accessing information, acquiring knowledge, managing ...

ABSTRACT Most largely sparse linear systems encountered in applied sciences and engineering requires efficient iterative methods to obtain an approximate solution. In this thesis, an Extended Accelerated Over-relaxation (EAOR) iterative method for solving linear systems was developed by introducing a new acceleration parameter to improve convergence rate of family of Accelerated Over-relaxation (AOR) methods. The method was developed through decomposition of the coefficient matrix     by the usual splitting approach and ...

ABSTRACT Dissimilar aluminium alloys of AA1200 and AA7075 have significant applications in automobile sector, aerospace, defence and shipping industries. These alloys faces problems like hydrogen solubility, formation of aluminium oxides, solidification shrinkage etc when welded with fusion welding process. Friction stir welding is the process which is able to successfully weld these dissimilar alloys of aluminium. Process parameters like rotational speed, welding speed, tool design, vertical force plays important role ...

ABSTRACT Information on limnology and status of heavy metals of Kainji and Jebba Lakes are key in the development and management of the Lakes. These Lakes receive organic and inorganic wastes through animal husbandry operations, illegal mining activities, direct waste disposal and other human activities. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of bacterial isolates in water, sediment and fish samples (Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus) from Kainji and Jebba Lakes were carried ...

ABSTRACT Cervical Cancer is the second most common cancer caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Human papillomavirus infection is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection globally, with approximately 75% of sexually active women and men contracting an infection at some point during their lives. HPV infection and cervical cancer have been associated for a long time. HPV is discovered in 99.7% of cervical cancer specimens. This study determined the ...

ABSTRACT This study examined the impact of out-of-field secondary school Biology teachers’ anxiety on Content Mastery and Classroom Management on Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Niger State, Nigeria. The research design that was adopted for this study is the Correlation research design. Six research questions with four null hypotheses guided the study. The population of this study was six hundred and sixty-six (666) out- of-field Biology teachers’ in 543 public and ...

ABSTRACT Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is the candidate panacea to the problem of spectrum scarcity in the wireless world. However, this emerging technology is faced with security challenges. The most severe among these security challenges is Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA).   One of the methods to detect Primary User Emulator (PUE) is via localisation,  of  which  there  are  two  major  categories:  range-free  and  range-based. Range-free localisation  is cost effective, less  ...

ABSTRACT Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major public health problem globally and accounts for about one million deaths worldwide in spite of the use of available vaccine and medications for mitigation of the disease. This study determined the seroprevalence, distribution of HBV infection, factors associated with the infection, and the genotypic patterns amongst patients attending selected hospitals in Niger State, Nigeria.  A total of 500  blood  samples  were ...

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of three modes of flipped classroom collaborative learning strategies on learning outcomes of secondary school Physics students in Minna, Nigeria.  The study employed  quasi-experimental  design which included  a pretest,  posttest  and retention test using 4x3x2 factorial matrix design. One hundred and forty six (146) students from intact Physics classes from four secondary schools in Minna were used as the sample of the study. This ...

ABSTRACT Malaria is a major global public health concern especially in countries where transmission occur regularly. A larger proportion of the malaria cases that resulted in mortality occurred among children less than five years old. This cross sectional study was aimed at determining the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum and antibody responses to erythrocyte surface antigens among children in Minna, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from children with no signs ...

ABSTRACT This study investigated antioxidant capacity of microalga Chlorella vulgaris on oxidative stress attenuation for improved reproduction in rabbits. The study commenced with an in- vitro evaluation of the microalga as a source of antioxidants followed by supplementation of0, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg Chlorella vulgaris biomass per kilogram bodyweight of rabbits in groups designated as Control, T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively in studies cutting across the different ...

ABSTRACT The effect of albino gene on intraspecific hybridazation of African Catfish and Albino Clarias gariepinus was carriedout to determined their latency period, fecundity, fertility, hatchability survival,  growth  performance,  some  morphometric and  meristics  characteristics  and  genetic characterization  of  parents  and  offspring  of  F1  generation.  A  total  of  four  (4)  mating combination experiments were conducted using eight (8) ripped, matured normal and albino Clarias gariepinus with average body weight of 1.64kg. ...

ABSTRACT Three field trials were conducted in the dry season of 2016, 2017 and 2018 at the Irrigation Research Farm of Institute for Agricultural Research, Kadawa (11039‟ N 080‟027‟E, 500 m above sea level) located in the Sudan savanna ecological zone of Nigeria, to study the growth, fruit yield and quality responses of two irrigated varieties of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum (L.) to nitrogen sources and organic mulches. Treatments consisted of ...

ABSTRACT Mechanical engineering laboratory of Federal University of Minna, Nigeria requires extrusion machine that can be used for teaching and learning of PVC extrusion process.
