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. ...
Students industrial work experience scheme SIWES is a skill learning programme designed to expose and prepare students of engineering, technology, environmental sciences, medical sciences, pure and applied sciences for the industrial work situation which they are likely to meet after graduation. Duration for SIWES is a six months programme for universities, four months for polytechnics end of ND 1, four months for colleges of Education end of NCE II. The students industrial work experience ...

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%), ...
Introduction Epilepsy is a common medical and social disorder or group of disorders with unique characteristics. Epilepsy is usually defined as a tendency to recurrent seizures. The word “epilepsy” is derived from Latin and Greek words for “seizure” or “to seize upon”. This implies that epilepsy is an ancient disorder; indeed, in all civilizations it can be traced as far back as medical records exist. In fact, epilepsy is a disorder that can occur in all mammalian species, probabl...
ABSTRACT Phytochemical and proximate analyses were carried out on leafy stem and flower head extract of Centaurea praecox grown in Sokoto, using standard methods. The result of phytochemical analysis shows that the flower head contain 1.67mg/100g Alkaloid, 2.50mg/100 saponins, 5.20mg/100g flavonoid, 4.07mg/100g Steroid. The proximate analyses revealed that the flower head contain 3% moisture, 11.5% Ash, 3% crude lipid, 3.5% crude protein, 25% crude fibre and 57% carbohydrate. The mineral anal...
The aim of this study is to determine the phytochemical composition, antimicrobial properties and phenotypic resistance pattern of selected enteropathogenic micro organism on Ageratum conyzoides leaf extract. Enteropathogenic isolates were collected from Adekunle Ajasin University Health Centre, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State and were identified using Microbact™ 24E Identification kit. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was carried out against the enteropathogenic organism using Kirby-Bauer disc dif...
Abstract Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are multimodular enzymes that are used wholly or partly in the biosynthesis of antiobiotics; a natural product that fall into the class of secondary metabolites. NRPSs have diverse functions and have also been used in the synthesis of toxins, siderophores, or pigments, among others. Unlike other proteins, its biosynthesis is independent of ribosomal machinery. Nonribosomal peptides are synthesized on large nonribosomal peptide synthetase�...
This work describes the role of NAFDAC in the regulation of clinical trials in Nigeria. Clinical trials are experiments or observation done in clinical research. Such prospective biomedical or behavioural research studies on human participants are designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioural interventions, including new treatments (such as novel vaccines, drugs, dietary choices, dietary supplements and medical device...
