Mathematical Induction of the Constituents of Kifilideen Trinomial Theorem of Negative Power of – Adopting Series and Sequence Ideology

Mathematical Induction is a mathematical procedure of proving an established mathematical formulas, equations or theorems in order to validate and declear such formulas, equations or theorems to be true. There is need to present mathematical induction of mathematical fact so as to inbuilt more confidence in the established fact. This study makes available the mathematical induction of the constituents of Kifilideen trinomial theorem of negative power of – adopting series and sequence id...

Thin Section Preparation and its Application to Different Rock Types

In thin section preparation, we normally prepare a rock sample of any type and polished it to reach a level of 0.03mm on a polished glass slide to get a thin slice. There are alot of processes that leads to producing a thin slice of a rock sample you will uncover those steps in this article and how they apply to the study of rocks because physical identification of rocks doesn't reveal the birefringence, cleavage, pleochroism, relief, interference color etc. Of a rock sample

Computerized Process for Applying and Paying for Stamp Duty: Case Study of Federal Inland Revenue Service Ikot Ekpene

ABSTRACT The purpose of this Research is to develop a computerized process of applying for and paying for stamp duty. A case study of Federal Inland Revenue Service Ikot Ekpene. The study critically analyses the manual method of collecting stamp duty in Nigeria and uses ideas so gathered to design a new program (Electronic Stamp Duty Payment System) for use by the Tax Administrators in Federal Inland Revenue Services, Credit Officers in the bank, insurance companies, hire purchase companies...

EFFECTS OF WATER HYACINTH, Eichhornia crassipes (Laubach, 1883) ON THE DIVERSITY OF THE ROTIFER FAUNA IN OVIA RIVER, EDO STATE, NIGERIA.

ABSTRACT  Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a dominant aquatic macrophyte found in tropical rivers, which has a relationship with the food web, and surrounding environment. This study aimed to investigate the influence of Eichhornia crassipes on the seasonal abundance and distribution of members of the phylum Rotifera in Ovia River, Edo State. Four stations of the river were selected along the river, and samples were collected monthly from April to September, 2019. Quantitative sample...

Regional Stratigraphic and Structural Framework of Parts of the Eastern Coastal Swamp Depo-Belt of the Niger Delta.

ABSTRACT  Facies geometry, stratigraphic configuration, structural style, hydrocarbon type and distribution within the paralic Agbada Formation of Middle to Late Miocene age across several fields in the Eastern part of the Coastal Swamp depo-belt were studied using regional 3D seismic, wire-line well logs and biostratigraphic data. The study involved analyses of sequence stratigraphic framework across nine fields using information obtained from twenty- four wells. Ten major stratigraphic bou...

Reservoir Characterization and Volumetric Analysis of Lona Field, Niger Delta, Using 3-D Seismic and Well Log Data

ABSTRACT  An integrated 3-D seismic data, checkshot data and a suite of four well log located at the Lona field, Niger Delta were analysed with Petrel software for reservoir characterization and volumetric analysis of the field. The method adopted involves petrophysical analysis, structural analysis, volumetric analysis and reservoir classification. Detailed petrophysical analysis revealed three reservoirs.Average reservoir parameters such as porosity (0.25), gross thickness (27 m), hydrocar...

Effect of Doping Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide Cells with (Al, Cd, Co,Li and Mg) on Optical Properties and Efficiency

Abstract In this work the optical properties of two group of samples were studied. In the first group Zinc Oxide was doped by ( Al ,Cd, Co, Li and Mg ). In the second group Titanium Oxide was doped by ( Al ,Cd, Co, Li and Mg ) also . The optical characteristics where investigated by using UV spectrophotometer and some computer programmers . The efficiency of the solar formed from this samples using ITO were found using light current and voltage .The study shows that the absorption peaks of t...

Effect of Drying and Storage on the Physico-Chemical Characteristics and Protein Quality of Smoked Horse Mackerel (Trachurus Trachurus) Fillets

ABSTRACT This study assessed the effect of drying on smoked horse mackerel fillets during storage at room temperature. Smoked horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) fillets were prepared by smoking brined horse mackerel fillets in a traditional improved kiln for 4 hours at 60 – 70oC. The fillets were later oven-dried at 65-70oC for 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours, spread on perforated trays and stored at room temperature of 24.5 – 34oC and relative humidity range of 59 – 87% for a period of 30 da...

Extraction and Characterisation of Oil from Cattle Brain for Production of Fat Liquor

Extraction of oil from plants and animals’ source for production of fat liqour to render the leather soft by a sort of lubricating the fibres after tanning is being a practice for long. However, the oils and fats that were formerly used almost exclusively are now becoming scarce and expensive, thus there are need to source for alternative and readily available /environmentally friendly agents for this purpose of imparting the physical properties of leather. In this research extraction ...

Effect of Processing Methods on the Quality of Ugba (Pentaclethra Macrophylla Benth)

ABSTRACT African oil bean seed slices (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) were prepared by two traditional methods, packaged in sterilized plastic containers and fermented at two different temperatures (ambient (28 ± 2 oC) and 37.5 oC temperature) for 96 hours to produce Ugba (a Nigerian indigenous protein rich food). Proximate analysis (moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate and fibre content), physicochemical analysis (peroxide, saponification, iodine, pH value), protein solubility and mi...

PRODUCTION, PROPERTIES AND SHELF - LIFE OF INTERMEDIATE MOISTURE SNAIL MEAT

ABSTRACT This research was carried out to study the influence of three cooking methods (frying, smoking and roasting) on the physicho-chemical properties and the shelf – life of snail meat (Achachatina marginata). The snail meat was first washed using different washing agents (lime, alum, salt and ash) and through sensory evaluation, the best washing agent was selected and used to prepare snail meat samples for subsequent processing. The snail from the best washing agents was divided into ...

Using Petro-physical Parameters and Rock Attributes Derived from 4-D Seismic to Locate By-Passed Oil in an offshore area of Bonny Field, South-South of Nigeria.

Abstract  A 4-D seismic data comprising of two 3-D seismic volumes acquired at different vintages were successfully applied to identify the presence of by-passed oil opportunities in the water-driven reservoirs in an offshore area of bonny island in south-south part of Nigeria. Cross-plots of rock attributes from well data were carried out to validate their sensitivity to reservoir fluids and lithology and to constrain the interpretation of the time lapse inversion results. 4-D inversion of ...

TEXTURAL ANALYSIS AS INDICATOR OF PALEO-ENVIRONMENT OF THE SANDSTONE IN ADU-ACHI AND ENVIRONS IN ANAMBRA BASIN, SOUTHEASTERN NIGERIA

The sandstone in Adu-Achi and environs were subjected to sieve analysis. The aim of this the study is to determine the textural characteristics and depositional environment of the sediments in the Ajali Sandstone. The results of grain size analysis showed that the sandstone range from fine to coarse grained, moderately sorted, mostly platykurtic and negatively skewed indicating sand of fluvial origin ranging from channel floor, point bar to braided rivers, also suggesting moderately to high/t...
