Despite the serious nature of the problem, it has received only minimal public health attention in Nigeria. Evidence-based data on knowledge, perceptions and issues on help-seeking behaviours...
Modelling of non-Newtonian fluid flow gives rise to non-linear problems which involves much computation. A non-Newtonian flow of Rivlin-Ericksen type past a porous vertical plate has been the subject of investigation by researchers due to its applications in engineering, food, paper and petroleum...
The goal of global eradication of malaria has remained elusive due to the rapid spread of drug resistant parasites, necessitating urgent development of novel antimalarials. Therefore, the aim of this study was to synthesize a hybrid compound of artesunate and procyanidin and evaluate its...
The multilevel models, viewed as linear mixed-effects models, have been adapted as a standard method of conducting analyses in repeated measure data. This mixed model may still violate some of the assumptions, such as random error independence and homogeneity of variance, thereby leading to model...
Continuous cropping and poor soil management have resulted in reduced crop yield in southern Guinea savannah (SGS) zone of Nigeria. Effective soil management strategy to restore essential soil nutrients is thus required. Thisstudy assessed the potential of selected weed species as soil amendment...
In the teaching and learning of any subject, both teachers and students usually rely on text materials and, as such, it is not doubtful then that the quality of textbooks in use will determine, to a large extent, the quality of learning and transfer of such learning.
