ABSTRACT The increasing incidences of roof failures especially blow-off in recent times in Southwestern Nigeria has become worrisome in view of the damage done to adjacent structures and danger posed to building occupants and owners. There is the urgent need to devise methods to curtail failures and minimize the incidences of blow-off. This study was designed to investigate the causes and patterns of roof failures, recommend curtailment measures and develop a model to predict roof blow-off. ...
ABSTRACT Parasitic infections such as malaria in host organisms often lead to oxidative stress condition resulting in the constant generation of free radicals and other reactive species in vivo that lead to extensive oxidative damage in bio-molecules such as DNA and proteins. Susceptibility of Plasmodium parasite to oxidative stress is a wellestablished feature and advantage has been taken of this property to design some prooxidant anti-malarial drugs. This study was carried out with the aim ...
Abstract: The unbalance application of the hydropower and others renewable energy generation in west Africa, constant rise in the demand of energy, which leads to damping in the electricity supply and the importance of reducing greenhouse emissions, has brought the adoption of clean renewable energy sources for generation of electrical power. One of these sources that have the potential to supply the world’s energy needs is the ocean (Home of waters). The current utilization of ocean area...
