161. Development Of Exponentiated Generalized Exponentiated Exponential Distribution
Probability distributions have been used in describing and predicting real life phenomena. The inability of existing distributions to fit diverse nature of the data sets has necessitated the development of more flexible distributions for real life data set. Recent studies on developing new families...
162. Development Of Deterministic Models Of Typhoid Fever With Prevention And Control Strategies
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi. Typhoid fever is usually contracted by the ingestion of water or food contaminated with urine or faeces of infected carriers and is, therefore, common in areas with poor sanitation. In developing countries, refugee camps and...
163. Numerical Methods For Solving Singular And Multi-order Fractional Integro-differential Equations
This thesis considers the construction of canonical polynomials with the aid of Lanczos and Ortiz method. The research work is focussed on the approximate solution of a special class of Fractional Inte- gro Differential Equations (FIDEs) of the singular and multi-order Volterra types. Fractional...
164. Block Unification And Boundary Value Numerical Integration Schemes For Ordinary And Partial Differential Equations
Many physical problems can be modelled as Differential Equations (DEs). DEs require solutions, either in closed form (analytic form) or in approximate form. Closed form solutions are rare to obtain for some DEs of high order. Hence, the need for numeri- cal methods/techniques. The difficulties in...
165. Exponentially-fitted Numerical Integration Schemes For First And Second Order Differential Equations
Mathematical models are developed to help in the understanding of physical phenomena. These models often yield equations that contain some derivatives of an unknown function of one or several variables. Such equations are called Differential Equations (DEs). A DE in which the unknown function is a...
166. Flow Behaviour Of Non-darcian Magnetohydrodynamic Casson Nanofluid Over A Stretching Or Shrinking Sheet With Slips And Convective Heating
Investigations of electrically conducting Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Casson nanofluidrnflow are important areas of research due to their applications in industries and engineeringrnfor industrial coolant, brake fluid, MHD generator, nanodrug delivery, and others. Several studiesrnconcerning heat and...
167. Phytochemical Constituents Antimicrobial And Biochemical Activities Of The Methanol Extracts From Durio Zibethinus
screening of secondary metabolites in the extracts was done using standard methods. The bioactive compounds in stem-bark extract were isolated and purified through column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography; the isolates were characterized using Fourier-Transform Infrared...
168. Impact Of Total Quality Management Practices On Academic Staff Performance In Selected Universities In North-central Nigeria
The extent to which quality gaps in the graduates of Nigerian Universities is related to application of Total Quality Management (TQM) by Universities has been a subject of debate. The employability of graduates from Nigerian Universities has constituted a major concern to both private and public...
169. Morphological And Molecular Systematics Of Freshwater Fish Diversity And Physico-chemical Parameters Of Jebba Hydro-electric Power Reservoir Nigeria
Fishery activities in Jebba Hydro-electric Power Reservoir (JHPR) contribute to socio-economic development of Jebba town and Nigeria. There is paucity of information on fish biodiversity in JHPR, hence, this study aimed at identifying fish species and their ecology. The objectives of the study were...
170. Potency And Implications Of Use Of Insecticide Mixtures In Management Of Resistant Anopheles Gambiae S.l. (diptera Culicidae) Mosquitoes
The preponderance of insecticide resistance development in malaria vectors constitutes a major challenge in malaria management. The dire need to stem this challenge imposed by resistant mosquito populations informed this study aimed at exploring the possibility of deploying sequentially programmed...
171. Ethnobotanical Survey And Insecticidal Potentials Of Selected Plants Against Anopheles Gambiae (diptera Culicidae) In North-central Nigeria
Widescale report of insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes is a major challenge confronting the usefulness of available interventions involving limited insecticides. Some plants have indigenously been used as insecticides without scientific validation. Therefore, this study was conducted to...
172. Effects Of Rice And Sorghum-straw Derived Biochars On Selected Plants Grown On Spent Oil-contaminated Soil
The increased presence of Heavy Metals (HMs) in soil has been a great public health and environmental concerns in developing countries. Spent oils that are discharged indiscrimately into the environment or used as herbicides have been found to contribute to the release of HMs into the soil. The use...
173. Effects Of Copper And Zinc-oxide Nanoparticles On Growth And Productivity Of Solanum Lycopersicum L. And Phaseolus Vulgaris L
Plants growth and productivity require copper and zinc-oxide in small quantity but these nutrients are not readily available to plants. Nanotechnology may be helpful in the effective delivery of these nutrients. This study investigated the effects of engineered nanoparticles of copper (CuNPs) and...
174. Efficiency Of Different Methods Of Breaking Dormancy And Seedling Development In Parkia Biglobosa And Prosopis Africana
Seed dormancy is an inactive phase of plant life that is greatly influenced by environmental and physiological conditions. High level of dormancy displayed in seeds of Parkia biglobosa (PB) and Prosopis africana (PA) delay seed germination, growth and development of the plants. This study was...
175. Ameliorative Effects Of Moringa Oleifera Leaf-based Diet On Malnutrition- Induced Skeletal Muscle Degeneration In Rats
Skeletal muscle degeneration (SMD) is a physiological condition characterized by decrease in muscle mass due to reduced protein synthesis and/or degradation. About 1 in 300 people is seen with a SDM. Chemotherapies generally used in the treatment of diseases like cancer and tuberculosis although...
176. Biochemical Study Of Antidiarrhoeal Fractions Of Annona Senegalensis Root And Stem Barks In Castor Oil-induced Diarrhoeal Albino Rats
Diarrhoea is a gastrointestinal tract disorder characterized by frequent stooling. The use of the aqueous extract of Annona senegalensis root and stem bark for the treatment of diarrhoea has been documented. However, limited information exists on the components, mechanism of action and safety. The...
177. Legal Challenges In The Enforcement Of Foreign Arbitral Awards In Nigeria
Businessmen have a choice in the resolution of disputes, they may elect litigation or submit to arbitration. Delays, outrageous cost and undue technicalities associated with courts, makes commercial arbitration the preferred mode of settlement in the business world. However, the recalcitrance of an...
178. Investigation Into The Suitability Of Sawdust Waste As A Medium For Aquaculture Effluent Treatment
Water is a renewable resource which should be preserved and protected. Untreated wastewater from aquaculture such as catfish farming most times end up in water bodies which could be sources of water supply downstream. Such water, if untreated before use or discharge into water bodies could result...
179. Effects Of Jigsaw Ii And Students Team-achievement Division On Performance In Secondary Schools Economics In Okene
The knowledge of Economics plays a vital role in fostering societal development. In spite of its importance, only few students who took Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations consistently have grade C and above each year. This performance has been traced majorly to the use of teacher centered...
180. Analysis Of Item And Test Information Functions Of Senior School Certificate Examinations In Economics In Norht-central Nigeria
career prospects, investment decisions and retirement strategies. The 2013 and 2014 WASSCE Economics performance recorded a significant variance with the former performing better than the latter; and this is a source of worry to educationists. This variation may be as a result of quality of test...
