Assessing the effectiveness of the Synthenic and Rearrangement Identifier (SyRI) tool for finding genomic rearrangements; A case study of comparison between RefBeet (Chr3) and Beta vulgaris s

This project discusses the influence of genomic structure on phenotypic expression in plants and animals, emphasizing intraspecific variations arising from diverse genomic structures. It highlights historical misinterpretations of structural rearrangements and advocates for comprehensive whole chromosome comparisons. The project focuses on using the SyRI tool to validate findings from whole-genome analysis of sugar beet and sea beet genomes, revealing insights into the role of the Rz2 locus i...

ABSTRACT In our rapidly advancing world, the integration of automation has become pivotal for modern living particularly in car parking management. Hence, this research project is focused on design and construction of RFID-based Car Parking System while utilizing Arduino technology. Defering from manual check-ins, this system employs RFID technology to seamlessly detect and manage vehicles, reducing congestion and enhancing the overall parking experience. The project's standout features incl...

Synthesis of Montmorillonite-silica nanocomposite and optimization of adsorption parameters for Congo red adsorption

Dyes are used in various industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paper, leather, food stuff, plastics, and textile etc. The effluents are discharged into the environment by either water or land. The discharge of these effluents into the receiving environments results in hazardous health problems as most of these dyes have carcinogenic effects on the living organisms. Congo red was removed on montmorillonite-silica nanocomposite from solution by adsorption process. The percentage yield wa...

Database Management System for Housing (A Case Study of Abdu Gusau Polytechnic Talatamafara)

ABSTRACT Overtime, manual approach of managing house allocation is being employed which has resulted in a lot of problems in Abdu Gusau Polytechnic Talata Mafara zamfara State. These problems to mention few are, allocation of already allocated apartment due to lack of proper record, difficulty in calculating the general statistics, poor data security and integrity among others. These aforementioned problems are talked with this new system by providing accuracy in general statistics, proper ke...

GC-MS ANALYSIS OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS PRESENT IN METHANOL LEAF EXTRACT OF Xylopia aethiopica Linn

Plants have been utilized for medicinal reasons since the dawn of time. Pharmacologists and organic chemists have synthesized a wide range of intriguing chemical compounds from medicinal plants in recent decades, which have shown to be quite useful in the practice of optometry and medicine. There is now an increase in global demand for the use of herbal medicines due to enhanced laboratory research and the pharmacological characteristics of bioactivities from natural sources and their potenti...

Computational biology in proteomics

The broad application of proteomics in different biological and medical fields, as well as the diffusion of high-throughput platforms, leads to increasing volumes of available proteomics data. Computational proteomics is the data science concerned with the identification and quantification of proteins from numerous data and the biological interpretation of their concentration changes, posttranslational modifications, interactions, and subcellular localizations. Computational proteomics is a h...

The Statistical Analysis on Road Traffic Accidents in Nigeria

ABSTRACT  Biologically, every living thing has a general property. One of these properties is movement. As a result of this movement, some hazard can occur. One of these hazards is accident. Generally, in Nigeria, the major mode of movement is by road. Road accident has become a major threat to lives of citizens of the country especially during the festive period. The increasing magnitude of fatal road traffic accident globally has been attributed to population explosion and increased leve...

A Mathematical Model for the Control of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria

Ebola Virus Disease is one of the deadliest infectious diseases that has increased both mortality and morbidity rates primarily on the African continent. The aim of this report is to use mathematical modeling and analysis in controlling the spread of this disease. In this study, a mathematical model which represents the transmission and control processes of Ebola Virus Disease among human and vector hosts is developed. The Well-Posedness, Equilibrium States (i.e Disease Free Equilibrium and E...

Predicting the Economic Impact of Post Covid-19 in Sub-Saharan African Countries Using Gradient Boosting

The global economy has faced an unprecedented threat from the COVID-19 outbreak. The current illness is ravaging Africa at an exponential rate, and all of the continent's nations are experiencing the effects of the epidemic. In this study, we used the COVID-19 outbreak as a case study to examine the prediction of the economic impact of the pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We adopted several models to work on the dataset to compare which one worked best for all 3 target variables and we d...

A Mathematical Technique of Computing Technical Provisions and Premiums in General Business Insurance Under the Influence of Chain-Ladder and Cape Cod Framework

ABSTRACT An insurance company promises its policyholders to pay out benefits if certain events occur, for example, events such as a car accident and health conditions. When this is happens, the insurance company has a liability to pay the claims by technical provisions or claim reserving. The calculation of claim reserving must be done carefully in such a way that it should not cause loss to the company. Two of the common methods to calculate technical provisions in non-life insurance are the...

Impact of Information Communication Technology (ICT) on Staff Training and Development

ABSTRACT ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has greatly changed contemporary education. The ICT solutions offered enrich learning environments and provide staffs with numerous opportunities. However, even though ICT can enhance education quality, there are many staffs that are unwilling to adjust to the changes brought about by ICT. One of the most crucial inhibitory factors that make staffs reluctant to utilize ICT in education is the lack of their training on ICT. Thus, the purp...

EFFECT OF HIV AIDS IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACTAIDS is an acronym for acquired immune deficiency syndrome it cause a destruction of the immune system. It is the most advance stage of HIV viruses (Human Immune deficiency syndrome Virus). This research work is carried out to determine the relationship between male and female HIV patient using data collected from National Tuberclosis and Leprosy training centre Says Zaria. The model arrived in this research. It shows a linear trend model for the male patients Yt=2038 -55.4,364*t show...

Design and Construction of a Computer Power Bank

ABSTRACT This project is a power bank for laptops, and it is designed to serve as a back up to a laptop whenever there is no power supply and it has a variable knob which controls the output voltage to a desired value. The problem is that we carry different chargers for different gadgets. Though the cost of producing is more costly than the normal chargers we have around but it can serve as a reliable backup considering the problem and solution above a power bank for laptop charger is neede...
