ABSTRACT Solar radiation data at horizontal level, tilted surfaces and in the atmosphere is an important feature in solar energy applications such as photovoltaic systems for electricity generation, solar collectors for heating and passive solar devices. This study presents an investigation of the dependence of global solar radiation incident on a tilted surface on some meteorological parameters for different tilt angles based on measured meteorological data of sunshine, relative humidity and...

The study was guided by six (6) research questions and five (5) hypotheses. The population of the study comprised all the ten thousand, five hundred and twenty six (10 526) basic science and technology teachers in Ebonyi state from which a sample of one thousand fifty six (1 056) was drawn. Six (6) researcher developed basic scien...
Abstract In carrying out this study, three research questions and three null hypotheses were developed to guide the study. Descriptive survey research design was employed in selecting the respondents for the study. The study was carried out in Kwara State covering the three State Colleges of Education in Kwara State. The population for this study was 232 comprising 102 Senior lecturers (Chief Lecturer, Principal Lecturer) and 130 Junior Lecturers (Lecturer I, Lecturer II, Lecturer III and Ass...
Abstract This study looked at the participation of women in quarry mine pits of Ebonyi state and their well-being , covering the three senatorial zones of Ebonyi north, Ebonyi central and south. In these zones, six (6) local government areas were covered. The involvement of these women at the quarry mine pits were investigated through a number of issues which include the factors that lead them to participate in the stone mine pits whether on grounds of poverty, lack of education, nearness of ...
ABSTRACT The project report was undertaken in order to learn and use systems and standards for Parliamentary documents. Systems for managing documentation in digital formats can make Parliamentary operations efficient and help increase the transparency of the institution. These systems are evolving to encompass the entire lifecycle of documents from creation through management, dissemination, and long term preservation. Within these phases documents may be edited and amended by various “aut...
ABSTRACT Biomass is the major energy source in Nigeria contributing about 78% of Nigeria primary energy supply. In this work a comparative analysis of the heating values of saw dust, rice husks, and coconut shell in the thermal generation of electricity was carried out. In the study different masses of biomass were used and the corresponding electromotive force in millivolts obtained. A graph of e.m.f was plotted against mass of each biomass and a gradient was obtained. Bar graphs were plotte...
Abstract A deterministic mathematical model for studying the transmission dynamics of malaria in Butaleja district was developed using ordinary differential equations (ODEs) where hinnans and mosquitoes interact and infect each other. fhe model has live non - linear differential equa tions with two state variables for mosquitoes (S,~anc I,, ) and three state variables for humans (S~ I~ and A,~) The available literature on previous work in this area was reviewed. Susceptible humans (S, ) are i...
ABSTRACT This project is entitled the Library Database System covering library computerization of Management Training and Advisory Centre (MTAC) School main library. The project seeks to cater for two library sections with the highest number of users (the general circulation and research section). The researcher collected data using questionnaires, interviews and observation. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS to verify the data into simple percentage which was presented in the form o...
Abstract This qualitative and quantitative research set out to investigate the Analysis and Implementation ofICT in urban secondary schools in Makindye division. It is a recent activity that has brought forth a lot of interest. However, there are many challenges that hinder efficient implementation ofICT including: lack ofICT laboratories, electricity, and teachers’ skills. This study explored how these challenges affect its implementation. Out of 10 public and private secondary schools in ...
The goal of this research was the discovery of newer anti-inflammatory drug. Four hydrazones with p-nitrophenyl moiety were synthesized by solvent-free and conventional synthetic methods with good to excellent yields. The synthesized hydrazones were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities using carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice. All the compounds indicated significant anti-inflammatory activity, demonstrating slow onset of action and longer duration of action compared to celecoxi...
The preliminary screening of phytochemical constituents of extracts of Xylopia aethiopica was evaluated. The n-hexane extract revealedthe presence of terpenoids, alkaloids, and steroids, while the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, steroids, and phenolics was indicated in ethyl acetate extract, and the methanol extract contained tannins, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, steroids. The medicinal property of the extracts was investigated using in-vitro antimicrob...
We designed novel p-nitrophenyl hydrazones as multi-target inhibitors of COX-2, 5-LOX, and H+/K+ ATPase in a bid to overcome side effects associated to NSAIDs and coxibs. Specifically, compounds 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methylidene] hydrazine (3), 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-6-[(2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydraz-1-ylidene)methyl]thiochroman-1,1-dioxide (6), 4-methoxy-2-methyl-6-[(2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydraz-1-ylidene)methyl]thiochroman-1,1-dioxide (8), 2-methyl-6-[(2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydraz-1-ylid...
Abstract Hostel allocation management system is software developed to manage the various activities in hostel. The particular project deals with the problems on managing the hostel and avoids the problem that occurs when carried out manually (using pens and papers). Identification of the clrmvbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system that is more users friendly and more GUI oriented. This project w...
