Malaria is caused by a protozoan of the genus Plasmodium and it is an infectious disease of humans and other animals. In the process of studying human malaria parasites, rodent parasites are recognized as valuable model parasites for the investigation of parasite-host interactions, biology of...
3. Relative Abundance And Molecular Characterization Of Stem Borers And Evaluation Of Maize Genotypes (zea Mays L.) For Resistance In Nigeria
Stemborers constitute a major constraints to cereals production generally and specifically to maize production in Nigeria due to yield and economic losses. Nevertheless there is still dearth of information relative abundance of stemborers, intraspecific differences between stemborers, and genotypes...
4. Stakeholders Perceived Influence Of Primary Health Care Services On Realization Of Health For All In Kwara State Nigeria
Primary Health Care (PHC) services were adopted as a means of achieving “health for allâ€. Nigeria adopted the policy to ensure sustainable health development at the grassroots, but its effectiveness has been underscored due to some lapses noted in the implementation of the component...
5. Assessment Of Storage Methods On The Shelf Life Nutritional Composition And Fungal Spoilage Of Tomato (solanum Lycopersicum L.) Fruits
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit is an important component of daily diet. The fruit is perishable and commonly attacked by fungi during storage. Hence, it becomes imperative to enhance its shelf life and minimize its spoilage. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of...
6. Reliability Assessment Of The Flexural Behavior Of Reinforced Concrete Beam With Embedded Pvc Pipes
Beams are major structural elements in structures against flexural failure. Increasing the span of building, increases the risk of deflection leading to increase in structural member thickness. Structural elements failures, due to the presence of electrical wire installation, are minimized by...
7. Vulnerability And Adaptation Of Rural Farm Households To Desertification In Katsina State Of Nigeria
Desertification poses one of the greatest environmental challenges in Nigeria. It accounts for 73% of the estimated total cost of US$5.110 billion the country loses to environment degradation annually. More than 30 million people in the desertification frontline states including Katsina are...
8. Ruin Probabilities For Some Collective Risk Reserve Processes With Stochastic Investment And Inflation
Basically, Insurance firms collect premiums and pay claims. Not to go bankrupt in a highly competitive market, insurance companies engage in several investment portfolios which can be classified as either investments with fixed or stochastic returns but not both. Companies engaging in these...
9. Effects Of Blended Learning On Biology Students Attitude And Achievement In Colleges Of Education In Kwara State Nigeria
Continuous increase in population of students in higher institutions of learning in Nigeria often results into overcrowded lecture rooms and laboratories, leading to poor performance of Biology students. Several strategies had been employed in previous studies to address the problem without much...
10. Influence Of Selected Botanical Garden Structureplanning And Design On Ecosystem Services And Atmospheric Air Quality
Pollution due to smoke, dust and other pollutants posed serious challenges to atmospheric air and human health. The study was to investigate the influence of selected botanical garden structures (BGS), planning and design on Ecosystem services (ESS) and atmospheric air quality (AAQ) in Lagos,...
11. In Vitro And In Vivo Antimalarial Antioxidant And Toxicological Effects Of Methyl Gallate And Palmatine Combination
Resistance of malaria parasite to conventional drugs and the high cost of potent ones have necessitated the search for new drugs. Methyl gallate and palmatine are compounds with known in vitro activities against multidrug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, but without in vivo activities,...
12. Policy Change Implementation Strategies And Goal Achievement In Technical Colleges In South- West Nigeria
Education policy change is intended to improve the education system. The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) policy as adopted by the federal ministry of education in Nigeria is structured on three major goals believed to ameliorate economic challenges. The accomplishment of...
13. Labour Market Core Skills Requirements And University Graduate Soft Skills Competence In North-west Nigeria
One of the challenges facing university graduates is unemployability. This is because university graduates have generally been described as poorly-trained and are deficient in employability skills. This study investigated labour market core skills requirements and university graduate soft skills...
14. Invariance Of Item Parameters Of Polytomous Geography Items In Senior School Certificate Examination In Nigeria
The hallmark of a test instrument is its quality. Test validity is key in ascertaining the quality of tests in all school subjects and it is critical at the School Certificate Level. Geography is examined at this level and a lot of studies have been conducted to determine the item parameters of...
15. Mixed Variable Discriminant Analysis With Zero Cell Frequency
When available data for discriminant analysis is the mixed variables type, the common procedure assigns codes to the possible states of the discrete variables and proceeds with analysis as if all data are continuous. This may lead to loss of information. The Location Model (LM) proposed by Olkin...
16. Some Modified Factor-type Estimators For Population Mean In Sample Survey
Factor-type estimators of population mean are applicable to where correlations between the study and auxiliary variables are positive or negative. Their efficiency depends on the optimum estimate of the value of positive real number which is usually a function of the study and auxiliary...
17. Structural Equation Modeling Of Bilateral Latent Structure Of Satisfaction With Life And Quality Of Life
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a method which uses various types of models to depict relationships among observed variables, with the same basic goal of providing a quantitative test of a theoretical model hypothesized by the researcher. Several instruments including World Health...
18. Historical Effects Of The Bubonic Epidemic In Lagos 1924-1959
Studies on the history of disease occurrences, control and management within the humanities is a recent development. This thesis examined the history of Bubonic Plague in Lagos from the initial outbreak in 1924 up to 1959. The Bubonic Plague in Lagos between 1924 and 1959 accounted for a total of...
19. Military Technology And The Dynamics Of Warfare In Ilorin 1800-1920
Several scholarly works have been undertaken on warfare in Yorubaland and the Sokoto Caliphate. Both were events of the Nineteenth Century in which Ilorin was involved. Aspects of military technology, strategies, tactics and the structure of the Ilorin army in this period have been quite inadequate...
20. Feeding Potentials Of Star Apple (chrysophyllum Albidum) Kernel In Broiler Chickens
Maize constitutes the highest proportion of energy source in poultry diets. It is costlydue to competition by man, industry and livestock. High rate of maize inclusion in diets translates to high cost of feed and reduce profit for livestock farmers. African Star Apple (Chrysophyllum albidum)Kernel...
