Synthesis And Characterization Of Nanocalcium Titanate (Perovskite)

ABSTRACTAccording to a few recent studies, calcium titanate is a material that is similar to hydroxyapatite in biological properties. However, calcium titanate is not currently being used in the biomedical application as to hydroxyapatite. The objective is to prepare nano calcium titanate powder from the solution of calcium oxide, ethanol, and titanium (IV) isopropoxide via sol-gel synthesis. The fiber size, pore size and morphology were studied by phenom scanning electron microscope (SEM). T...

Studies On The Blastofiltration Potentials Of Selected Plant Seeds For The Treatment Of Lead And Cadmium Contaminated Water Samples

ABSTRACT Phytoremediation, based on the theory of botanic tolerance and accumulation of certain pollutant, is a new developing ecological technique primarily used to clean polluted environment. Blastofiltration is applied to phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted water at present. The study used castor, okra, melon and moringa seeds as experimental materials to investigate their potentials as possible blastofiltration materials. The results showed that with the trial time lasting up to 72 ...

ENHANCING COMPUTER EDUCATION THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF MASS-MEDIA

ABSTRACT The on-going fusion between Computer education and mass media has transformed the world in which we live into a “global village” where students can easily get in touch, see or speak to one another and exchange information is multimedia, electronically, from any point on the globe to another. This important development of computer education has been acknowledged as the practical tool for national development. This paper examines ways to enhance computer education through the a...

The Role of Chemistry Teacher in the Development of Science Education in Nigeria

AbstractThis work titled The Role of Chemistry Teacher in the Development of Science Education in Nigeria is specifically designed to find out and discuss the various ways science education has been lagging in Nigeria and how chemistry education can help to remedy the situation. In the course of this, some issues were discussed  such as the concept of chemistry, chemistry education, science education, objectives of chemistry education, problems facing science education in Nigeria and ways to...

Effect of spent Engine oil on the growth of Spinach

ABSTRACT The effect of spent engine oil on soil properties and growth of Spinach (Spinacia olereacea) was investigated. Five treatments (0, 20, 40, 60, 80)ml of the spent oil were applied to soil in perforated poly bags with Spinach strands at four weeks after stabilization. Soil analysis showed that spent engine oil had no effect on both the pH and texture of the soil. Organic C, Na and Mg in the contaminated soil increased compared to control. There was decreased in concentration of P due t...

THE EFFECTS OF ICT AND ITS APPLICATION

BACKGROUND OF STUDY  Chandrasekhar (2001). Information Communication Technology are defined, for the purposes of this primer, as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.” These technologies include computers, the Internet, broadcasting technologies (radio and television), and telephony. Information and communications technology is often used as an extended synonym for information technology ,  but...

ASSESSMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACQUISITION OF SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS IN PHYSICS IN NSUKKA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ENUGU STATE

INTRODUCTION Physics as a science subject in school is different from other non-science subjects in school curriculum in the sense that its lessons take place in laboratories where both students and teachers carry out experiments and practical demonstration. This approach of learning and teaching of physics makes it a practical subject. Practical work is encouraged in science subjects (physics inclusive) because it facilitates the learning and understanding of science concepts, and in develop...

COMPUTER MADE EASSIER: DIAMOND COMPUTERS

What is computer? Computer can be defined as an electronic device that operates under the control of instruction that is installed in its memory units. It can also mean an electronic device that receive data as an input, process and bring out the result as an output. With the definition above, one can understand that computer is just a device (electronic device) which operate and control other parts. What is computer system? Computer system like any other system is the combination of interna...
