ABSTRACT This study examined the locational characteristics of the industrial activities at the 9th Mile area of Enugu State, Nigeria in order to identify the most important location factors, multiplier effects, and linkages among the industrial plants. The data analysed were collected from relevant sources using mainly the survey research method. Location quotient (LQ), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) Analysis, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were adopted in the analyses of the data....
ABSTRACT The Entrance Skin Dose (ESD) for common radiographic examinations of forty (40) patients was measured prospectively at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi using LiF thermo-luminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips. The examination comprised ten (10) patient’s each of chest, abdomen, pelvic and lumbar sacral regions.The mean ESDs obtained by LiF TLD for Chest X-ray (PA), Plain Abdomen, Lumbar Spine (AP) and Pelvic (AP) were 0.50 mGy, 0.20 mGy, 0.80 mGy, 0.70 mGy respective...
ABSTRACT Antibiotics have remained the mainstay of drug therapy of infectious diseases worldwide. Their use is, however, limited by their numerous adverse effects and rapid development of microbial resistance. Identification of natural products from plants that may serve as valuable sources of antimicrobial agents for medicinal or agricultural uses seems to be a viable alternative to the conventional antibiotics. To achieve this goal, biological assays should be carried out in order to identi...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the nutrient and phytochemical composition of fresh, sun and shade dried okra, bitter, scent, G. latifolium and roselle leaves. The vegetables were purchased from two markets. Okra, bitter, scent and G.latifolium leaves were purchased from Nsukka and roselle leaves were bought from Jos market. All the vegetables were washed, weighed and divided into two equal parts. Each part was sun, or shade dried, pulverized, packed and stored. The fresh samp...
ABSTRACT The divalent metal chelates of Mg,Co,Cu and Zn with 4-acetyl (hpmap), 4- benzoyl(hpmbp),4-butyryl(hpmbup),4-capyroyl(hpmcp),4-propiony (hpmprp) and 4-palmitoyl(hpmpp) derivatives of 1-phenyl -3-methyl pyrazol-5-one have been synthesized and characterized by UV ,IR, and conductivity measurements. It is shown that the ligands behaved like bidentate enols, all forming neutral chelates with the metal ions , bonding through oxygen of the enolic hydroxyl group and /or the oxygen atom of th...
ABSTRACT A survey of industrial pollution in Anambra state WFS carried out between February A990 and June 1997, The survey showed that Idemili, Onitsha and Nnewi Local Government Areas h3ve the greatest concentration of industries* Some of these industries.: discharqe their wastes into the environment with very little or no tre3tment. ~histochemical characteristics of rivers godo, Oji and Ebenebe Lake were determined, The concentrations of some water-quality-parameters vi7, dissolved oxygen (...
ABSTRACT The degree of confusion/illusion and domestic revenue wastages by GSM subscribers due to GSM promotional products increase annually. The GSM network operators are often ingenious and are typically motivated by money, anonymity or both. Due to the rising competition in the GSM promotion, network operators are becoming more collaborative, and as a result, more ingenious. Because of this, comparison of GSM promotion subscribers’ application services is required as an advisor to keep p...
ABSTRACT This study was conducted in Enugu metropolis, Nigeria to investigate the spatial character of residents’ participation in the various approaches to Municipal Solid Waste management (MSWM) in the area. The study adopted survey research method. Quantitative (structured questionnaire) and qualitative (interviews and field observations) methods were employed. The researcher used simple random sampling in selecting the desired sample of 300 households for the questionnaire administratio...
ABSTRACT We comparatively studied gas phase concentration and gas temperature of three way catalytic converter models. We considered channel level models and provided concise solutions for them. Solutions to the models were graphically represented and we found that gas phase temperature increases with time and gas phase concentration of gaseous species attain light-off at temperature above 600K.

ABSTRACT Jatropha gossypiifolia leaves were processed and fermented at room temperature at different time intervals. The products were further analysed to determine the nutritional and anti – nutritional components. The best samples were selected based on the iron content of the products. Bioassay study was carried out on albino rats to determine the effect of treatment on blood sugar level, haemoglobin, cholesterol, liver and kidney function. From the results, fermented juice and powder fr...
ABSTRACT The study revealed into the relationship between personal hygiene and the occurrence of diseases primary school children in Makindye municipality where the following aspects were investigated: (1). personal hygiene practices among primary school children, (2). occurrence of disease among primary school, (3). relationship between hygiene practices and occurrence of diseases, (4). difference between personal hygiene practices and occurrence of diseases between private and public primar...
The aquifer transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity values of Agbani Sandstone was investigated using different statistical and pumping test approaches developed by different authors. A total of three (3) boreholes was constructed during the time of this study and it was used to determine aquifer characteristics of Agbani Sandstone. The depths to water table vary from 80 - 120 m and the results of transmissivity (T) values obtained from various approaches varies from 0.883 to 2.855 m2h-1 fo...
shortly we can derive the Cauchy's residue theorem (its general form) just by direct integration of a Taylor series placing an open curve onto a specific domain, in order to satisfy holomorphic properties
ABSTRACT Introduction: Ethambutol (EMB) has been discovered as an anti-tuberculosis drug since 1960, and is now very important in treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis which is on a rise due to emergence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus. However, EMB has been associated with severe side effects including optic neuropathy with no preventive and treatment measures. Purpose: To establish the protective potential of Lantana trifolium ethanolic extract against EMB induced optic nerve change...
