Abstract Soft drinks are consumed daily in Nigeria due to their characteristic taste, palatability, affordability and thirst quenching potential. This study quantifies the amount of electrolytes of Biochemical significance in selected soft drinks sold in Port Harcourt and their pH values. The samples included six frequently consumed soft drinks; (Coke, Sprite, Fayrouz, Mountain-Dew, Fanta and Pepsi). The results showed that the samples contain relatively high amount of Sodium(Na+) ranging fro...
ABSTRACT The high cost of treated water makes most people in the rural communities to resort to water sources which are normally of low quality and which expose them to waterborne diseases. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of Cucurbita pepo seed powders for the removal of turbidity in river water using Alum as a standard. Water samples were co...
This research work, Design and Implementation of an Attendance System using fingerprint scanner, focuses on computerizing and managing the attendance of students during lecture or event periods. This is very imperative as the cons of the traditional pen to paper attendance system far outweigh the pros as management of student attendance has become a hassle due to increasing number of students during various lecture periods. This study would discuss in detail, how the inconveniences posed by t...
Computer and data have become an integral part of every enterprise and business today. Accurate data which is transformed to information is required for any industry to perform at optimal level as such is used in decisive management and decision making processes. This therefore makes such organisations critically dependent on the use of a database system to help in accessing such data and information. However, many hospitals are found to be somewhat “stuck” on the present manual paper bas...
ABSTRACT This research work is in respect to the development of an Information Retrieval System for the Federal Road Safety Corps in Benue State. An Information Retrieval System is a system that is capable of storage, retrieval and maintenance of information, the general objective of this System is to minimize the overhead of a user locating needed information, overhead can be expressed as the time a user spends in all of the steps leading to reading an item containing the needed informati...
The usefulness and benefits of hydrogen as a fuel is of no comparison, as it does not contribute to the environmental hazard i.e air pollution caused by other fuels such as methane and petroleum.The end product of hydrogen in fuel cells and combustion engine is energy and water vapor as its only byproduct.
Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in today’s society. The structural transformation in the economy, society and culture tend to work faster in this era of information. This study examines the ICT role, revolution and its impacts in the age of knowledge economy across Nigeria’s power sector, with Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KEDC) in particular. The study incorporated the use of questionnaires in such a way to assess the level...
ABSTRACT. A study of haemoglobinopathies in Ehime-Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State was carried out with mostly students of secondary schools in the area who are true representatives of the population. The result showed that 20% of the people randomly sampled are carriers of the sickle trait (HbAS) while the remaining 80% have genotype of HbAA. The incidence of blood group antigen showed that 29.2% (146), 12.0% (60), 3.0% (15) and 55.8% (279) have antigens A, B, AB and O respectively. ...

A total of 21 samples were analyzed in the laboratory, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrum (ICP-AES) was employed in the whole rock analysis for oxides, total sulphide (TOS), total carbon (TOC) and loss on ignition (LOI), while Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) was employed in the analysis for trace metals including gold, and rare earth elements (REE) that were either associated with or served as pathfinder for gold. Statistical analyses revealed an anomaly...
Plants derived bioactive compounds have been the centre of recent owing to their health promoting effects. An attempt was made in evaluating the phytochemical, minerals, proximate and anti-microbial activity of analyses standard agar well diffusion method saponins, tannins, flavon minerals analysis revealed the presence of manganese and phosphorus. Highest mineral content was recorded in magnesium (21. Proximate analysis showed the presence of ash (10.3%), moisture (7.10%), protein (16.45%), ...
