Research and reviews are constantly being carried out in order to discover newer, and abundant plant sources of bioactive components which exhibit strong pharmacognostic and biochemical effects. The whole plant of Diodia sarmentosa has a folkloric reputation as an anti-ulcer agent. It is claimed to be useful in herbal medicine for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections and some other ailments. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of some phytochemicals in Diodia sarmentosa (tro...
ABSTRACT The study explored the potentials of substituting breadfruit into cassava to obtain gari analogueofwhich proximate and mineral compositions were evaluated. A portion of matured but unripe breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) and mature cassava tubers were co-fermented (100:0, 0:100, 80:20, 70:30, and 60: 40 Cassava to Breadfruit) to obtain gari analogue. The samples were evaluated for proximate and mineral analyses. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive and inferential s...

ABSTRACT This research work is on the effect of packaging materials on the functional properties of white garri. in the research work ,three packaging materials were used, namely rice bag, baco bag and plastic bowl. The functional properties that were tested for in this research work were bulk density wettability, gelation capacity, pH, gelatinization temperature, oil absorption capacity, and water absorption capacity. The result of the experiment gave the following bulk density, the value va...
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED CAREER GUIDANCE INFORMATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT Computers are known for their wide range of uses especially in scientific and mathematical fields. However little or no thought has been given to designing a complete career guidance information system. This system is designed in order to implement intelligence test on a computer system. It tries as much as possible to incorporate the important aspect of intelligence on a wide scal...
ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to design and implement a computerized Online Bank Verification Number System for Nigerians in the Diaspora. I was motivated by the fact that Nigerian bank customers in the Diaspora are barred from having access to their fund in Nigerian banks without BVN, therefore they are required to come back for biometric capture before they can operate on those accounts. The methodology adopted for this research is Structured System Analysis and Design Met...
ABSTRACTThe present study is to isolate fungi from rhizosphere of Moringa oleifera and screen them for the production of some very important enzymes such as amylase and protease. Twenty fungi were isolated from the soil sample from five different farms using pour plate method. The isolates were then identified based on their colonial morphology and microscopic features in wet mount and Lactophenol Cotton Blue staining. All the isolates were screened for amylase and protease production by star...

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW Ear wax is normally produced in the ear canal. It is made up of the secretions of specialized sets of glands located in the ear canal. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum. Sebum is mostly a combination of fatty acids. Modified apocrine sweat glands release a secretion that combines with the sebum to form cerumen. This cerumen also picks up discarded cells and hair follicles. It may contain dust or other debris that finds its way into the ear canal from t...
ABSTRACT The use of ATM has grown rapidly in popularity because of its low banks transaction costs and customers convenience which has made it a basic element of today’s financial service delivery.
