ABSTRACT We have modelled an open channel flow through a porous media (River). In the model, we considered water as an incompressible fluid; the flow as steady and uniform; the system is assumed to be isothermal and the flow, also a laminar flow. We have solved the resulting equation using analytical method. By some mathematical operations, the momentum partial differential equation (PDE) was reduced to ordinary differential equation (ODE) and the resulting equations are solved analytically u...
ABSTRACT The majority of software development organizations all over the world are small enterprises. Successful implementation of SPI methodologies in small software enterprises (SEs) is generally not possible because such organizations are not capable of investing the cost of implementing these programs and limited resources. Software Process Improvement (SPI) activities have been reported to result in remarkable improvements in the quality of software, reduced time to market and increased ...
ABSTRACT Petrophysical evaluation and 3D seismic interpretation were carried out on the hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs of Stroh field with the aim of maximizing the benefits of petrophysical evaluation and structural interpretation in the production and development of hydrocarbon in the reservoir of the ‘Stroh field’ in Niger Delta. Eight hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs – sands ST1, ST3, ST6, ST7, ST8, ST11, ST13 and ST14 were identified from well logs and correlated across six Stroh wel...
ABSTRACT The aim of this project was to develop a web-based system that will contain all the information about the private sector assets for tax assessment. The objective was to register and assess all the assets of the entire private sectors establishment in a particular area for tax payment. These assets include: land, heavy equipment, light equipment, motor/vehicle, residential building, commercial building, and industrial building etc. The system will carry out tax assessment of the asset...
ABSTRACT Two main geological formations outcrop in the area which is within latitudes 6"45'N-7"00tN and longitudes 7O15'E - 70301E, being part of the Anambra basin of southeast Nigeria. These are the Ajalli Sandstone that is of Middle Maastrichtian age covering most of the area and the Nsukka Formation of Upper Maastrichtian age that is less prominent and overlies the Ajalli Sandstone. These two formations belong to the same hydrostratigraphic unit and give rise to thick and extensive water t...
ABSTRACT In this work, the seven-factor central composite design () is studied in respect of a pair of missing values using the minimax loss criterion. It was observed empirically that seven-factor central composite design with k = 7 , = 128 f n , = 14 a n , = 3 c n and n = 145 is robust at a = 2.6 and variance robust at a = 2.45. We also observed that the loss effect of missing a pair of factorial points is a decreasing function of increasing a , while the loss effect of a pair of axial poin...
For many years to. come, the oil and gas industry in Nigeria will continue to play a mostimportant role in the economy of the country. The prospects for meeting up with an oil reserve base target of 50 billion barrels by the year 2010 as set in the country's Vision 2010 are quite good. The country's deep offshore from all indications will continue to be a beehive of activities for many years to come. However, a lot of the anticipated success will depend in real terms on our abi'lity to cope s...

ABSTRACT The total alkaloid, tannins contents and antiulcer activity of the extracts from four selected medicinal plants were investigated. The total alkaloids content (TAC) was evaluated according to the chloride colometric method in which atropine was used as standard. While the total tannins content (TTC) was also determined using Folin Ciocalteau assay in which gallic acid was used as a standard. The antiulcer activity of the extracts was investigated using the ethanol induced model in wi...
ABSTRACT The research work is concerned with Fuzzy Cognitive Maps-based Conflict control Model. The objective of the work was to develop Conflict control model using Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) and Non-liner Hebbian Learning (NHL) that will allows the users (or policy makers) to optimize the environmental factors which are major causative factors of the Tiv-Fulani in other to achieve peace. To achieve the objective, basic factors understood to be influential in Tiv-Fulani conflict were used to ...
ABSTRACT We considered the evolutional problems in two-dimensional autonomous system. We showed that the bifurcating steady solutions are obtained from the points of intersection of the two conic sections and we used the implicit function theorem to justify their existence, and also we applied the Lyapunov theorem to establish their stability.

ABSTRACT An electrical resistivity survey was carried out on site proposed for the construction of state secretariat office complex in Makurdi, Benue state, using vertical electrical sounding (VES) with Shlumberger electrode configuration. The soundings, which comprised of fifteen VES was done at three different locations to ascertain the suitability of the subsurface formations at the site for construction and to determine a suitable depth to which the foundation of the proposed buildings sh...
ABSTRACT This study aims at determining the effect of the ABO blood groups on the level of immunoglobulin classes in patients infected with HIV-1. One hundred and fifty three (153) confirmed HIV-1 positive subjects were enrolled in the study. These comprise of 62 (40.5%) males and 91 (59.5%) females. Sex and age-matched HIV-negative control were also recruited. The subjects comprise of adults aged 18 - 55 years with 36 years as the mean age. The study was conducted at the CDC-UNTH HIV clinic ...
ABSTRACT The highly nucleophilic bridging sulfide centers in bis(μ-sulfido)tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) diplatinum(II), [Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4] enables the incorporation of any organic functionality (R) through facile monoalkylation to form cationic complex [Pt2(µ-S)(µ-SR)(PPh3)4] + . The organic electrophiles; N,N’-(2-dichloroethyl) piperazine-4-carboxi-amine, N-(2-chloroethyl) morpholine4-carboxi-amine, and N-(2-chloroethyl)-1-methylpiperazine-4-carboxi-amine derived from isocyanate were s...
