Five goats were experimentally infected with Trypanesoma
vivax and the packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb)
levels and serum free fatty acid (FFA) levels were monitored.
A cyolical fluctuation was observed in the development of
parasitemia during the twenty-six-day period of...
ABSTRACT
Music is a live organ that is growing in stupendous
dimensions particularly in Nigeria as it is all over the world.
The changing proportions of music is not unconnected with
everyday improvements in technology and electronics. This has
given an acme impetus to easy modernization....
This study was carried out to see how the Nigerian
Pharmaceutical Industries can effectively plan, develop
and introduce new products with particular reference to
Zaria Pharmaceutical Company (ZPC), Zaria, Kaduna State.
Data for the study were collected by means of
questionnaires administered...
ABSTRACT
Rotaviruses are the most common cause of severe diarrhoeal illness in infants and young
children in both developing and developed countries resulting in much death in sub-Saharan
Africa and Nigeria. A total of 285 stool specimens were collected from November, 2009 to July,
2010.and...
A comprehensive geophysical survey was carried out over the premises of the
Federal College of Education, Zaria, with a view to investigating the depth to basement,
depth to and thickness of aquifer, depth to and thickness of the weathered basement as well
as the subsurface structural systems...
The study Is an empirical exercise based upon observable data and
practices of the operators in the Nigerian financial sector. This is

In a national system of Electronic Media, people wish
to base a choice between alternative modes of media
communication services upon the consideration for quality of
service and cost of obtaining it.
This work is an attempt to look at the marketing
activities of the Nigeria Television...
Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure [EXAFS) has become known in
recent years as a technique for studying the environment of specific elements
in chemical systems. This has been related to the advent of synchrotron
radiation. The significance of the present studies is to find out how...
The effects of heating temperature, time and
acid-mixture in the determination of calcium, Copper,
Iron, Sodium and phosphorus in some soil and plant
samples by wet-digestion using Atomic absorption
spectrophotometer, flame photometer and UV spectrophotometer
have been studied. The values of...
Abstract
This research work evaluates the responses of inflation, interest and exchange rate to shocks
in Monetary Policy (captured by MPR) as well as the impacts of MPR on these
Macroeconomic Variables. The study used monthly data spanning from December, 2006
(when the MPR was introduced)...
In our study of Ferromagnetism, we have used the Heisenberg model as a general
frame work. The indirect exchange model of Ruthermann - Kittel interaction (originally
proposed for atomic nuclei) is applied to the case of Rare - earth Ferromagnetic systems. This
exchange energy (between spins) is...
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the relationships among causal attributions, self- concept,
personality, and academic attainment amongst Colleges of Education students in north- west of
Nigeria. Basically, the study was designed to examine how the said variables affect students in
learning...
Polymers are seldom used in the pure state, various
additives may be present of which one category includes a
second polymer. In the present study, the author reports the
effects on degradation properties of a polymer in the presence
of a second polymer in its environment. The effect...
The Thomas-Ferni (TF) method and i t s r e f i n e m e n t , the
Thomas-Fermi -Di r a c (TFD) approach have been w i d e l y employed
i n the l i t e r a t u r e to study screening i n both metals and semii
conductors, but only for homogeneous and isotropic model
solids (i.e. within the Local...
Dietary Restriction (DR) otherwise known as Caloric Restriction (CR) has been generally
defined as consumption of nutritious diet that is 30% to 40% less in calories compared to
ad libitum diet while Environmental Enrichment (EE) is defined as a sustained and
progressive increase in cognitive...
A re-view of the Electric Field Gradient (EFG)
tensor has been carried out.
The theoretical models proposed by Kohn and vosko
(1960) SI and in and Friedel (1960), Sagalyn, Pashkin
and Harrison (1961), Sagalyn and Alexander (1977) and
Ponnambalam and Jena (1931) have been reviewed-
The...
ABSTRACT
Rotaviruses are associated with ~ 610,000 deaths worldwide and with 33,000 deaths in
Nigeria in children < 5 years of age annually. A study of the epidemiology of rotavirus,
astrovirus and adenovirus infection in children 0-5 years old with gastroenteritis was
therefore undertaken in...
The influence of UV radiation (366nm) on the
stability of proguanil hydrochloride and pyrimethamine
sulphate in tablet formulations and in phosphate
buffer solutions of different pH values has been
evaluated in the present study, UV spectroscopic
method for estimating drug content in the...
The use of multinomial logit models for predicting mode- choice decisions for urban travels
has gained prominence in recent years. The prime advantage of this model lies in their
ability to allocate travel demand among many modes at the same time, as opposed to the
traditional binary mode-choice...
