ABSTRACT Cookies were produced from wheat, sorghum, and defatted coconut flour blends to determine their potentials in cookie manufacture. Eight Cookies formulations were produced and they were evaluated for their proximate, physical, mineral, colour and sensory properties. The result showed that the moisture content ranges from 7.10 to 10.89%, ash content ranges from 0.88 to 1.15%, protein content ranges from 9.18 to 12.25%, crude fat ranges from 9.59 to 11.00%, crude fibre ranges from 2.7...

ABSTRACT The demand to acquire knowledge or to learn has rise, thus, the present technology had gone a long way to provided means to learn, irrespective of the distance or the location of the E-learner and source of information. This is achieved through electronic sharing of information and virtual classroom. However, virtual classroom and text based e- learning is a system design to help student gain access and acquire knowledge in any university of their choice. This method of learning ...
ABSTRACT This project presents an empirical study of time series modeling and forecasting of the official daily Exchange rate of Nigeria Naira for US Dollar in terms of buying rate, central rate and selling rate, from the period of 1st January 2016 to 19th of May 2017 (recession period). In this view, Box Jenkins approach was applied for the modelling of naira/dollar daily exchange rate using ARIMA model. The results of the analysis show that the series became stationary after first differ...
ABSTRACT Machine Translation system is an automated system that translates text from a source language to target language. The source language is the main language upon which the target language is derived, while target language is the semantic equivalence of the source language. The source language and target language are described as the input and output to the MT system respectively. Machine translation is an area of applied research in human language ...

ABSTRACT In this project (A Multi-Wavelength View of M17 Massive Star-Forming Region), efforts were made to determine the distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) within the M17 region. We find that PAHs are destroyed over a short distance or edge of the HII region. This PAH destruction edge can be located easily using Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) band-ratio images. We try to find out the relative roles of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and...
ABSTRACT Libraries have been an important part of educational and information sector of any school. The success of any library largely depends on proper management. Several libraries have suffered failure as a result of inadequate management and incapacitations in handling sensitive information as regards members of the library. This research therefore, aimed at developing a digital library system, which will help direct and position library to meets its ever increasing demands. In the...
ABSTRACT This study was carried to with the aim of determining the antibacterial effect of Calotropis procera against some bacteria isolated spoilt nunu. Bacteria isolated from spoilt nunu were identified based on their Gram characteristics, morphology and biochemical characteristics. Calotropis procera was extracted using ethanol, methanol and distilled water. The ethanol and methanol extracts showed the presence of Saponins, Steroids, Terpenoids, Flavonoids, Tannins, Alkaloids, and Cardiac ...
Room temperature tribocorrosion behaviour of Al-4.5%Cu/SiC particulate composite was evaluated against stainless steel ball in natural sea water. Ab-initio, the Al-4.5%Cu was reinforced with 5,10,15 and 20 % SiC reinforcements to produce the Al-4.5%Cu/SiC particulate composite by stir casting method. The tribocorrosion test was carried out with an Anton Paar Tribometer at applied loads of...
An automated event management system that works on all platforms/ Abstract Event management system is used to manage all the activity related to event. Inany event many service providers work simultaneously and it is very hard tomanage these providers. It is also important for event organizer that he has allthe contacts details of these service providers so that he can contact them anytime to plan an event at given time.

Chapter oneIntroduction1.1 Background of the StudyIn the advanced world like China, Britain, Australia and the United State ofAmerica, ticketing system are usually automated with the use of internet and e-commerce. Smart cards are usually used to make payment and ticket generatedafter. The use of electronic ticketing system has increasingly helped to address theproblem of long queue and time wastage problem. (Watts, 2012).An electronic ticketing system is a computerized system that is designe...
ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the characterization and utilization of guava flavour concentrate produced from two guava cultivar using simple distillation technique for the flavor extraction. The physical properties of the flavor concentrate were determined and then utilized in the formulation of guava drinks with three different clouding agents (gum Arabic, garri aliquot and cheese-whey). The guava drink samples were also evaluated for different quality attributes whic...
ABSTRACT Endophytic microorganisms have proven to be potential sources of antimicrobials against recalcitrant pathogens. Extracts of an endophytic fungus, Emericella nidulans exhibited antibacterial activity against selected pathogens. Emericella nidulans was cultivated in broth and fermented at 28 ± 2°C for 7days and 21 days to obtain bioactive components. Solvents extraction of bioactive compounds from Emericella nidulans in the order of their polarity – n-Hexane, et...
Abstract The advent of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in space technology has tremendously improved the methods of positioning and navigation. Countries are now adopting the continuous observation and measurements using a network of GNSS receivers called Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) as the standard. Hence, the study explore the CORS network in South West Nigeria and carry out site suitability analysis of the potential locations considered suitable for the insta...
