ABSTRACT Azadirachta indica, commonly known as Neem, has attracted worldwide prominence in recent years as a cynosure of modern medicine owing to its wide range of medicinal properties. This study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the multi-solvent (methanol, ethanol and hexane) extracts of the leaves of Azadirachta indica of Meliaceae family. The extracts were investigated for phytochemical constituents such as tannins, saponins, alkaloid...
ABSTRACT This project is aimed at automating the process involved in generating students examination result that would ensure speedy processing and release of the student’s results, eliminate error due to manual processing, prohibit doctoring of results and prevent lost of examination results. The software system was developed within the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. ASP.NET is used to create the pages. The database is generated and managed using MySQL. The codes were scripted usin...
ABSTRACT Phytochemical and Proximate analyses of two samples of Aloe vera from variable habitats (highland and lowland) of Sokoto metropolis were accessed. Phytochemical and proximate compositions of highland sample were 8.16mg/100g of Saponin, 3.40mg/100g of Glycoside, 1.80mg/100g of Alkaloid and 2.50mg/100g of Anthraquinone. Proximate constituents’ analysis revealed 6% of Moisture, 10.5% of Ash, 2.5% of Crude lipid, 8.13% of Crude protein, 1% of Crude fibre and 70.57% of Carbohydrate resp...
ABSTRACT Exposure to environmental toxicant was known to cause neuronal disorders in humans. Hence, the present study evaluates the toxic effect of leachate (an environmental toxicant) in the synaptosomes of female rats and the reversal effect of phenolic-rich fraction from Croton zambesicus. Fifty animals were divided into five groups. Group I (Control) received 0.5ml of distilled water only, Group II (non-withdrawal) received 0.5ml of leachate for 14 weeks, Group III (withdrawal) received 0...
Vegetative propagation method through induction of adventitious rooting in both softwood and semi- hardwoodhypocotyl plus stem (HpS) and juvenile stem (JS) was reported in Anacardium occidentale, an average size tropical evergreen tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. The induction of adventitious roots is an essential process in vegetative propagation. Adventitious rooting in above cuttings was induced by exogenous application of root promoting substances (RPS) viz. Indole-3-butyri...

ABSTRACT Geology and Water Quality Assessment of the Salt Lake areas of Okpoma and its environs in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State has been carried out. The study area lies between longitude 08o 361 E to 08o 411 E of the equator and latitude 06o 321 N to 06o 371 N of the meridian respectively. They belong to the Eze-Aku Group of the Late Cenomanian- Turonian age Southeastern Nigeria. Lithologically the area is underlain by shales and intercalation of sandstone. Igneous intrusi...
ABSTRACT Tourism as being a great source of revenue in so many countries like Britain, Australia, Malaysia and many other countries. Seeing the viability of the sector in these countries where tourism as served as one of the life wire of the country economy, has stirred other country government to invest vastly in the sector. The tourism sector of the above named countries has served as a source of employment for the citizenry in various capacity. In reflection of the above statement, th...
This is an 86 page research project evaluating institutional repositories in Africa SCOPE OF THE STUDY This study focuses on Institutional Repositories in Africa in the three major directory of repositories. The webometrics ranking will be the main focus for this study with keyattention to repositories that have their contents in English Language. A brief review isgiven to OpenDoar and ROAR for comparison with webometrics ranking. Data to be used will be generated online and will be analy...
Petrophysical well logs were integrated in an analysis for the reservoir characterization of C and D wells located in the Offshore Depobelt of the Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria. The study essentially determined reservoir properties such as Lithology, shale volume, Porosity, hydrocarbon saturation and Net-Gross from Well logs with a view to determining the Reservoir quality. Two lithologies were identified using Gamma ray and Resistivity logs which were sand and shale but minor presence of carb...

- Elections are the bedrock of democracy and voting is one of the electoral processes that ensure the sustenance of democracy, political growth and democratic stability of any society. We have designed an Enhanced Electronic Voting System (EnEVoS) with a Hybrid Authentication Technique, which will reduce electoral malpractices and manipulation of results to its barest minimum. The implementation of this Enhanced Electronic Voting System (EnEVoS) in Nigeria will boost the integrity and image o...
The work is on the distribution pattern of filling station in Benin metropolis, it also shows the conformity of filling stations in regards to the rules and regulations of the DPR (Department of Petroleum Resources) in Nigeria.
In this research work, we have reviewed and studied two disease models: a disease model with logistic recruitment rate with and without incubation period and a disease model with linear recruitment rate with and without incubation period. The existence and stability or otherwise of the equilibrium states of the models were studied; also numerical experiments were conducted using a written computer program in MATLAB function ode45; for which table of parameter values were generated using sec...
