ABSTRACTThe option of using microbes in the remediation of polluted sited have received wide acceptance due to its sustainability and environmental friendliness. This study is aimed at using the kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km) to assess the effect of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on the performance of Pseudomonas sp., during the remediation of crude oil polluted sites. The rate of crude oil breakdown was assessed by determining the total petroleum hydrocarbon in the soil (after cont...
ABSTRACT In order to search for alternative control methods to synthetic pesticides, the potential of essential oils from Allium sativum (L.) (Alliaceae); was evaluated as fumigants against Callosobruchus maculatus (fab.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), a pest that attacks pulses during storage. Chickpea seeds were infested with 10 pairs of newly emerged weevils and, fumigated with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4μl of essential oils of garlic/l of air. The essential oils of garlic were analyzed by GC-MS. The majo...
ABSTRACT Nunu is a spontaneously fermented yoghurt-like milk product consumed as a staple food commodity invirtually all parts of the Country. Its production and consumption gives way to much food security and economic benefits to the rural people. However, the process characteristics result in products which are not appealing to many people, have very short shelf-life and could have food safety concerns. In a framework of research to improve the product quality and increase consumption, a st...
Abstract—An integrated approach involving Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES), and Very Low FrequencyElectromagnetic (VLF-EM) methods has been used to map the concentration and pathway of leachates plumes beneath Laka dump site in OgbomosoSouthwestern Nigeria. In-situ analysis, specifically, Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) were also carried out on water samplescollected from hand dug wells, bore holes and stream around th...
Abstract Acid rain, more properly termed acid deposition, is the input of acidifying compounds from the atmosphere to the earth's surface. It is comprised primarily of sulfuric and nitric acids that are formed when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and other compounds. Chlorine ...
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatial variation of urban heat Islands (UHI), will be helpful in urban micro climate studies. This study the urban heat islands of Kaduna metropolis, Nigeria. For the present study Landsat ETM+ images of 2001, 2006, 2009 and OLI 2015 was obtained from USGS of the study area. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) image was developed. The digital number of thermal infrared band is converted in to spectral radiance using the equation supplied by the Landsa...

ABSTRACT The software package used in this protect is quick Basic which centered on soloing the problem of relational business activities arising from modern transactions For the fact that individual, private and public organization have problem of visiting their clients or customer in different locals for a particular purpose, this then given the need of using complementary cards which may be thousands in numbers so, because of these cards in large number, it development a problem of sortin...
ABSTRACT This work deals extensively with the design and construction of an electrodice display (EOD) with audio unit. The device displays the value of a ludo dice in numerical form and also produces sound as it displays the number. The device works with principle of chance employed by ludo game players. The output of the display is usually very rapid that the player does not actually see the number when the device is switched ON so that it will purely be a game of chance. When the off key i...

ABSTRACT This research work shows us the potential benefits we may obtain from the computerization of the out-patient information system of the Hansa Clinic Enugu. The out-patient department otherwise called OPD is a place where the out-patient that is patients that receive treatment at the clinic without staying overnight, wait for the doctors to attend to them. This manual operation of the outpatient information system is normally stressful. But when it is being computerized it will reduc...

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to computerize quality control system in production (A case study of Anammco Nig. Ltd Enugu) and to develop a computer packages whereby the technique observed from the manual method can be improved on. It is a known feet that the manual method of quality control in production has been associated with lots of inaccuracy in quality control and this has lead to early break down of parts when in service.The software when developed will facility and enhanced t...
