While secondary data include relevant published materials such as textbooks, journal articles, dissertations, reports, and the internet. The method used is satellite image processing, image clas...
ABSTRACT Background Maternal mortality has seen a significant decline in Ghana over last decade. Stakeholders and government continue to invest in strategic policies aimed to further decrease the ratio of maternal mortality. To achieve the desired results, interventions must be tailored toward specific factors in order to further strengthen the remedy to this health menace. Even though, there has been a decline over the years, international target and standards yet to be achieved. Method Ana...
ABSTRACT This study investigated the corrosion resistance of steel reinforcement in two types of concrete mixtures – ordinary Portland (OPC) used for concrete and clay pozzolana cement (CPC) used for concrete. These two concrete types were exposed to 3% and 5% (W/V) of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and 3% (W/V) Calcium Hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2) that acted as corrosion media. Mechanical properties and electrochemical analysis were performed over 1, 7, 15 and 23 days. The results indicated that concr...

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to determine the effect of learning objects in teaching and learning computer appreciation. The study was based on a mixed research design comprising quasi-experimental, descriptive survey, and interview using a focus group discussion guide. The area of the study is Enugu state. Data were collected from 66 students, 34 in the experimental group, 32 in the control group and 6 computer studies teachers. The Computer Appreciation Achievement Test (CAAT) was u...
ABSTRACT The major purpose of this study was to determine the teacher initiatives for utilizing ICTs in teaching and learning in Colleges of Education in Delta State. Four research questions were answered and four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population for the study consisted of 2035 made up of 610, 723 and 702 teaching staff from Federal College of Education (Technical), Asaba, College of Education, Agbor and College of Education, Warri respectively, the t...
ABSTRACT This study assessed the dimensions of e-learning programmes of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in South East Universities of Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population for the study is comprised of 112 TVET lecturers in all the Federal and State Universities in the South-East Zone of Nigeria that offer TVET programme. Eight research questions and four hypotheses formulated to guide the study. A structured questionnaire titled extent of...
Abstract This work reports on the Web-based undergraduate mathematics tutor developed by the author for use by the undergraduates of the Computer science department in higher educational institution. It briefly analyses the traditional method of teaching undergraduates mathematics and uses ideas so gathered to design a new one. The new method allows students to learn mathematics interactively, and at their own pace via technologically-based system. Their understanding in mathematics will inc...
ABSTRACT of the electrical resistivity technique, which red to the seismic technique in fault seal . .. ., ....... . . . , The Agu Abor fault is a prominent growth fault that provides insights on the processes of clay smearing at the fault zone. The properties of the sheared zone in the Cretaceous Enugu Shale were investigated to evaluate the dimensions of the fault, by the use is a cheaper method when compa study. The methodology used for evaruaang tnese possltmtles Involves tne resistivity...
ABSTRACT In this study, a series of N-pyridin-3-yl substituted [phenylsulphonamido] acetamide has been synthesized. The reaction of phenylsulphonyl chloride with various amino acids in basic medium yielded phenylsulphonamido alkanoic acid which, on chlorination with thionyl chloride, gave acid chloride derivatives of phenylsulphonamido alkanoic acid in situ. The acid chloride derivatives on condensation with 3-aminopyridine gave corresponding acetamide in good to excellent yield. The compoun...
ABSTRACT Mathematical models describing the variations in the plasma glucose and J insulin levels over time in an insulin - dependent diabetic person (IDD patient) were formulated. We showed that these models can correctly describe these variations when we solved them sirnuttaneously by andytical approach rather than the normal numerical approach employed for solving non-linear differential equations. The effect of the various parameters involved in the model were tested and it was shown tha...
ABSTRACT The aqueous methanolic extracts of 20 selected plant parts were screened for in-vitro antimicrobial activity against clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans at a test concentration of 10mg/ml using the agar well diffusion method and penicillin G, chloramphenicol and Nystatin as controls. The seeds of Parkia biglobosa, Glycine max, Voendzeia s...
Abstract Presently, there are deep concerns over the environmental consequences and the consumption of non-renewable energy sources, with the accelerated greenhouse effect which triggered enormous interest in the use of renewable energy sources e.g. solar, hydropower, wind and geothermal. However, the intermittent nature of harvesting renewable energy sources has recently gained considerable attention in the alternative, reliable, cost effective and environmentally friendly energy storage de...
ABSTRACT The azo-ligand, 1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-[(E)-(2,3,4-trihydroxylphenyl) diazenyl]- 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (H3L) and its Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized based on stoichiometric, molar conductance, electronic and infra-red spectral studies. The results showed that H3L reacted with the metals in 2:1 ratio. H3L coordination was through the hydroxyl, azo and carbonyl groups to form [Zn(H2L)2] 2+ and [Cd(H2L)2] 2+ respectively. Solvent extraction s...
