ABSTRACT The land evaluation was conducted in the Butuguri area, Butiama District, Mara Region to assess land’s suitability for cassava, maize and sorghum production. After reviewing literature and discussing with farmers and extension officers, five criteria for growing crops were selected which are: soil physical properties, soil chemical fertility, rainfall, temperature and topography. The Analytical Hierarchical Process was used to assign relative importance weights to the chosen crit...
The introduction of the IBM Personal Computer in 1982 fostered a technology revolution that has changed the way the world does business. Prior to that historic milestone, several personal computers existed, e.g., Apple, TRS 80, but they were primarily used by individuals, schools, and small businesses. When computer mainframe giant, International Business Machines (IBM) entered the personal computer market in 1982, the event quickly captured the attention of corporations and government agenci...
ABSTRACT Computational and theoretical advances have progressed sufficiently so that it is now possible to calculate reaction rates directly from ab initio theory without the intervening use of any analytical method. The rate constants of chemical reactions are calculated using information about the structures, energies, and Vibrational frequencies of reactants and transition states. Computer algorithms help in determining the structures of the molecules and in understanding how molecules re...
Abstract: Ecological restoration that aims to reinstate indigenous processes may be constrained by regional and local conditions, especially those that drive dispersal and colonisation. Local conditions can be managed, while regional conditions cannot. The management of costly rehabilitation programmes is considered best practice when scientifically informed. My thesis documents the responses of biological communities to a range of local conditions developing in coastal dune habitats in resp...
Computers are one of the most popular kinds of electronic devices in the world today. Whether kid or adult, male or female, everyone wants to learn how to operate the computer. People use computers for different purposes such as typing papers, creating websites, making presentations, browsing on the internet, playing games, etc. In fact, many people are still confused about choosing what kind of computer they want to buy. In the world today, there are two types of computers: notebook/laptop a...
ABSTRACT The computer is an extension of man's ability to process, arrange and compute data. One of the most important characteristics of a computer is its ability to store and process information. This ability of computers is all achieved through programming. In the world today, the application of software has been assisting various organizations in carrying out their operations successfully and reliably. Personnel information is a very vital and crucial aspect of every organization be it p...
ABSTRACT The current impact of climate variability highlights the need for an increased understanding of the relationship between climate-sensitive disasters such as floods, vulnerability, and adaptation/coping strategies of households. With few exceptions, given the variations in sociodemographic and economic characteristics, floods tend to have a disproportionate impact on resource-poor urban communities, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to; (1) identify indicators of...
ABSTRACT The design of switched local area networks in practice has largely been based on heuristics and experience; in fact, in many situations, no network design is carried out, but only network installation (network cabling and nodes/equipment placements). This has resulted in local area networks that are sluggish, and that fail to satisfy the users that are connected to such networks in terms of speed of uploading and downloading of information, when, a user’s computer is in a co...

The pattern of development of urban land use in relation to topography varies from rural to urban. What distinguishes Lokoja community from other settlements is the topographical nature that surrounds and abounds within the community. In this research work, factors responsible for settlement expansion were investigated. The study derives it data from the fieldwork, survey and observations. Lokoja town was divided into eight zones where questionnaires were administered and the data gathered we...
ABSTRACT The seminar paper discusses in detail the Application of Computer Assisted Instruction in Educational Institution. Computer Assisted Instruction is seen as instruction or learning that involves the use of a computer system, including any of the hardware, software, network and telecommunication efforts, for the primary use of learning This work is divided into five chapters which discus intensively the meaning of computer assisted instruction, Types of computer assisted instruction, B...
ABSTRACT So far, mammographic screening is the only mode of detection that has been shown to reduce breast cancer mortality (Montazeri et al). Thus unless women are educated about mammography and mammographic screening, the goal of reducing breast cancer fatalities will remain out of reach. The aim of this study is to assess mammographic screening awareness of traders in Enugu metropolis, Enugu state using Ogbete market as a case study. A well structured questionnaire was used for this stud...
Abstract This paper presents a preliminary map of average annual runoff of Tanzania using a conceptual rainfall runoff model to predict the amount of water directed to base flow of the rivers with the application of Geographic Information System (GIS). Average annual runoff is a fundamental hydrological variable which serves many purposes in hydrological research particularly in stream flow estimation for hydropower plant allocation and development. Still the runoff data can serve during irri...
ABSTRACT This study deals with the effect of the computer to the accountant. It is carried out to the investigate the various way in which computer affects the accountant as processional. Some hypothesis were formulated subject to verification. These hypothesis are1. Computers does not effect on the accounting profession.2. Computers does not perform task with maximum speed and accuracy that will make the job of the job of the account staff a lot easier3. ...
