The effect of various processing methods (roasting, germination and fermentation) on functional properties, nutrient composition, glycemic index and sensory attributes of finger millet (Eleusine coracana) food products (Pap and Tuwo) were evaluated in context of management of type II diabetes. The...
In many reactors, there are both control rods and shutdown or safety rods with the latter specifically designed for rapid shutdown of the chain reaction. But Nigeria Research Reactor 1 (NIRR-1), which is a Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) has only one control rod which serves the purpose of...
Public water supply is distributed through water pipe network, which affects the quality of water that gets to the consumers when the integrity of the pipe distribution network is compromised. Hence, this study aimed at investigating and modelling water quality deterioration in the distribution...
Several banking regulations reports as well as extant literature have established that Nigerian banks’ audit committees are poorly constituted which may affect the quality of financial reporting. It is on this premise that this study investigated the effect of audit committee characteristics...
Biological systems usually consist of large number of components and involve processes at
a variety of spatial, temporal and biological scales. This study presents a framework for
model identification and the use of Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) in systems biology
modelling and shows how the...
Germplasm diversity analysis and characterization provides the foundation for crop improvement programme. This work has used morphologicaland molecular tools to study diversityand characterizeMoringa oleifera. The study was undertaken at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN), Jericho...
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is endemic in Nigeria and outbreaks occur despite vaccination. Probiotics exert beneficial effects on animals. This study evaluated the ameliorative effects of probiotics, Antox® and Bactofort® on clinicopathological changes in ISA Brown chicks, inoculated with...
Onion is an important vegetable crop in Nigeria grown in both wet and dry seasons though it fetches higher profit when cultivated in the dry season. The crop yield is limited by some production constraints, notable of which is the „Danzazzalau‟ disease in Kebbi State. Fungi isolated...
The aim of this research is to develop a cadastral information system for Mammy settlement. The cadastral layout of the study area was acquired, scanned, georeferenced and digitised using ArcGIS 10.1 software package. In order to obtain the land ownership information, the administration of...
High signaling load due to location management (LM) scheme in Long Term Evolution (LTE) Networks is a major quality of service issue due to the significant amount of resources consumed by this scheme. This scheme needs to be managed efficiently to guarantee seamless connection to any user on the...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
This research is an investigation of the “Impact of Boko Haram terrorism on Nigeria-Cameroon relations (2009-2016)â€. Nigeria-Cameroon relations shortly after independence in 1960 has been described as „unfriendly‟, „love and hate‟, prompted by some variables such...
A fixed bed pyrolysis system has been designed and constructed for obtaining liquid fuel
from palm kernel shell. The major components of the system are: fixed bed reactor and
condensate unit. The palm kernel shell in particle form was pyrolized in an externally
heated 90mm diameter and 360mm...
The generation of electric power using different fuel resources to meet load demand and losses while satisfying various constraints on the system involves high running cost (cost of fuel). Therefore, it requires electric utilities to minimize the cost of production of electric power by planning and...
Quarryinghas diversifying effects on the environment and human activities as most of these quarry are located within residential areas especially around Mpape community of Bwari Area Council, FCT, Abuja and environs. Their operations are obviously not been carried out with world best practices. The...
This research focused on the production of furfural from microalgae biomass and optimizing the process parameters using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Furfural production was carried out by hydrolysis of Pentosans to Pentoses where Pentosans in hemicelluloses is hydrolyzed with dilute mineral...
