26351 Occurrence Of Salmonellae Ecto- And Gastro-intestinal Parasites And Assessment Of Biosecurity In Kano Zoological Garden Nigeria

Infectious and parasitic diseases in zoo animals affect their welfare, reproduction and longevity and pose health threat to researchers, visitors and staff of zoological garden. The aim of this study was to assess biosecurity and determine occurrence of Salmonellae, ecto- and gastro-intestinal...

26352 Genetic Diversity Of M2 Mutants Of Sunflower (helianthus Annus L.) Induced By Ethyl- Methanesulphonate (ems)

Sunflower is an important oilseed crop due to its health related values. Induced mutations are often used to create new genetic variability where sufficient variation does not exist naturally as in the case of sunflower. This study was carried out at the laboratory and research farm of the...

26353 Improving Fairness In Load Balancing Among Radio Access Technologies In Heterogeneous Wireless Network

The major problems of most wireless technologies such as EDGE, HSPA, WiMax, HSPA+, WiFi G, WiFi and LTE are the imbalance of radio resources allocation as well as unfairness and difficulty to achieve unity index. These result in overstressing the networks while leaving some idle. This imbalance of...

26354 Geospatial Analysis Of The Impacts Of Jibia Dam On Jibia Town And Its Environs Katsina State Nigeria

In order to analyze the impact of Jibia dam on Jibia town and its environment, land use land cover of the area before and after the dam were mapped and analyzed using remotely sensed data. Supervised maximum likelihood classification algorithm was used for the classification of Landsat imageries....

26355 Impact Of Quality Service Delivery On Customer Satisfaction In Deposit Money Banks In Nigeria

The inherent competition in the banking sector today as a result of development in information and communication technology has created a sense of awareness and increase in knowledge which had led to customer‟s disconfirmation and customer‟s attrition. Hence, the study seeks to...
