INTRODUCTION Information is not only the basic of human existence. It is also the life wire for running of any organization. This is consequent upon the fact that decisions are based on information for effective decision-making and effective execution of those decisions, there must be constant information flow. Data gathered must be transmitted to the end –users after it had been processed. Information receipt processing, storage, dissemination, etc. may be instant; otherwise valuable bus...
PREFACE Food poisoning might be described as a food borne diseases or food borne illness. Food that contains a toxin, chemical or infectious agent (like a bacterium, virus, parasite or prion) and causes symptoms in the body are considered types of food poisoning by most investigators. Those symptoms may be related only to the gastrointestinal tract causing vomiting or diarrhea or may involve other organs such as the kidney, brain or muscle. This term paper considered that, it can be treated...
Abstract This paper determined the effect of the convergent and divergent thinking-based instructional strategies in influencing students’ achievement in mathematics. The influence of gender on the achievement of students in mathematics was also ascertained. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group design involving two experimental groups and one control group was adopted for the study. the sample consi...

INTRODUCTION Agricultural microbiology is a branch of microbiology dealing with plant-associated microbes and plant and animal diseases. It also deals with the microbiology of soil fertility, such as microbial degradation of organic matter and soil nutrient transformations. Agricultural microbiology is a scientific discipline oriented to satisfy the request of new knowledge from the society, consumers and producers, needed for the exploitation of microbial resources in the main frame of agric...
ABSTRACT This paper presents an H-infinity filtering approach to optimize a fuzzy control model used to determine behavior-consistent (BC) information-based control strategies to improve the performance of congested dynamic traffic networks. By adjusting the associated membership function parameters to better respond to nonlinearities and modeling errors, the approach is able to enhance the computational performance of the fuzzy control model. Computational efficiency is an important aspect i...
ABSTRACT How many times have you run into situations where you need to find-and-replace HTML content across a large web site? For example, you need to swap out headers and footers with SSIs (server side includes) on a large static web site for better maintainability. Or you need to find a header image across a site and replace it with another header image. One of my favorite tools for this task is Dreamweaver's Find and Replace utility. The GUI (graphical user interface) interface is simple t...

ABSTRACT Electromagnetic waves generated by different wireless systems like mobile systems, satellite systems, microwave links…etc. facilitates our communications throughout the world. These waves have many effects on the human body as well as our daily lives. The effects of electromagnetic waves cause many problems and diseases in the human body like cancer. Nowadays, types of the cancer caused by these waves has increased, because mobile users have increased. Because of the importance of ...
Abstract Bullet pear (Canarium schweinfurthii) fruit oil was used as a replacement for bakery fat in bread production. Five loaves of bread samples were baked, the control sample was baked with 100% bakery fat and the other four loaves were baked with bullet pear fruit (BPF) oils as substitute for the bakery fat at 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels. The proximate, physical parameters and sensory quality analyses were carried on of these five loaves samples. The results showed some significant differ...
This paper presents an historical development of telecommunications starting from Lanlate I Satellite Earth Station which was Nigeria’s first international satellite telecommunications gateway to the outside world. An overview of the general level of development of information technology in Nigeria is also highlighted and it also examines the extent to which it is being used in support of information delivery and communication in science and technology. The importance of information technol...
Introduction The computer as we know it is a group of pieces of hardware put together to get a job done faster. To accomplish its various tasks, the computer is made of different parts, each serving a particular purpose in conjunction with other parts. You don't necessarily need to know how these parts operate, at least not at this time, but you should be aware of their co-dependence to take advantage of their various characteristics. The "computer" is an ensemble of different machines tha...
