Abstract This project is about the design and implementation of the online student resources portal. It aims to overcome the study challenges that first and second year Business Information System (BIS) students are currently facing. Overall, this system is going to ensure that students have complete access to very important study resources or aids like online quizzes, past exam papers and discussion forums. This system when correctly implemented will be of immense importance in as far as th...
ABSTRACT The present paper describes the synthesis of Acid Orange(7)dye which can be used as dyes for cellulose acetate biopolymer. They were obtained by the diazotization of a monoazo component of the mono-azobenzene type, followed by coupling. The monoazo components were obtained by the diazotization of sulphanilic acid and coupling with 2-naphthol. The synthesized dye was later analyzed by GC-MS, IR and UV-Vis spectrometry. The dyeing performance of the dye was evaluated on cellulose aceta...
The work was done to determine the effects of baking temperature on the proximate, micronutrient, microbial and sensory properties of bread. The breads were baked at four different temperatures of 190, 200, 210 and 220 0C for BT1, BT2, BT3 and BT4 respectively. The protein ranged from 10.53% to 12.42% and a significant (p < 0.05) difference existed between the samples. The crude fibre ranged from 1.50% to 1.70% and a significant difference existed between samples BT1, BT2, BT3 and BT4. The fa...
ABSTRACT Phytochemical and Antimicrobial activity of the leaves of Tetrapluera tetraptera using aqueous and ethanolic extract was studied. The leave was observed to be highly rich in polyphenols, flavonoid, reducing compounds and alkaloids. Glycosides, saponins and tanins were present in small amount, there was absence of Phlobotanins, anthraquinones and hydroxyl methyl anthraquinones. In order to confirm the exact concentration of the Phytochemicals present in the leave of T. tetraptera, a ...

ABSTRACT This project describes the design and construction of an automatic Battery charger. Automatic Battery chargers are not particularly cheap, but the protection they afford in protecting batteries against overcharging and possible battery damage is highly desirable. However the work carried out through the construction and design of an inexpensive alternative to the commercially available fully Automat...
ABSTRACT Adansonia digitata L. (Malvaceae) is commonly known as baobab tree native to Africa. Baobab is a multi-purpose tree which offers protection and provides food, clothing and medicine as well as raw material for many useful items. This study aims to elucidate the metal chelating and ferric reducing potentials of methanol extracts of Adansonia digitata L. (Malvaceae) leaf using in vitro model. Phytochemical screening was carried out on the extract and it showed that the extract contains...
ABSTRACT Culturally, consumption of local fermented skimmed milk (nono/tsala) is common in Northern Nigeria and many other parts of Africa and it is sometimes associated with microbial diseases due to poor hygienic practice. Hence, this study was conducted with the objectives of assessing the microbial quality and some physicochemical parameters, a purposive sampling was used to collect a total of 12 different samples from Dutse local government, Jigawa state. The results obtained showed that...
ABSTRACT Public vehicle traffic management is becoming harder, as the number of the vehicles on Nigerian roads is increasing. The Federal Road Safety Corps and other law enforcement agencies face real problems dealing with the different kinds of traffic violation, which introduces the need for an automated way to help identifying and controlling these violations. The Online vehicle recognition system, plays an important role in addressing these issues as its application ranges from parking...
ABSTRACT The effects of variety and processing methods on the functional properties of cassava flours were studied. The functional properties of the flour were determined using standard procedures. Cassava roots were fermented, blanched, soaked, dried and milled into flour. The functional properties of the flour were determined. There were variety and method of processing influence of the functional properties significantly. The gelation capacities varied between 75% and 80% bulk density, emu...
ABSTRACT The project is the design and implementation of database federation of public database of Nigerians using database links and web services. It involves the design of a representative of the primary database that houses comprehensive information about Nigeria residences; other smaller databases representing some of the government agencies concerned with the issuance of different types of identification cards/documents and a website for a representative of government security agency tha...
ABSTRACT Snail shells and discarded aluminium components are of low economic values, and are often considered as environmental pollutants. Finding ways of utilizing these supposed wastes is consequently a direct way of creating wealth from wastes. Snail shell particles are known for their hardness, and thus considered as good alloying agent for aluminum based composites. ...
The work was aimed at investigating the effect of Cocus nucifera on male albino rats. A number of rats were placed in groups and all groups were fed Cocus nucifera except one group, the control group. Analysis of results was done with ANOVA.
ABSTRACT The study was conducted to assess the antibacterial activity of Phyllanthus amarus (Schum and Thonn) extract against Salmonella typhi causative agent of typhoid fever at the laboratories of the Departments of Chemistry and Theoretical and Applied Biology of the College of Science, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi. The objectives were to determine the highest yield of crude extract of P. amarus using different proportions of water to ethanol and to determine ...
The automatic means of assessment has proven to be the best solution to the process of selecting qualified prospective candidates among the growing population of candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions and also evaluation of large population of students in the higher institutions in Nigeria. CBT (computer-based testing) is the automatic evaluation or assessment by which knowledge of students or candidates are measured or tested. It is in this regard that the Joint Admission a...
