ABSTRACT Computer anxiety has been identified as a prominent drawback to many freshmen in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions in Nigeria. It is a known fact that inadequate computer skills coupled with computer anxiety are linked to attrition rate and poor academic performance among distance learners who by exigency should utilise computer to bridge the transactional and interactional distance that exist between them, their tutors and other relevant personnel. This is capable o...

INTRODUCTION The rapid growth of internet-based technology/innovations has resulted in many approaches to learning development, manifested in different forms of e-learning (Shawar, Al-Sadi, and Sane, 2007). The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) at all levels of education is no doubt the catalyst for improving access to quality education by all and to acquire knowledge-based economy (Muiwa and Kyalo, 2013). Nowadays, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) provide new ...

ABSTRACT Background: A summated score is a useful way to capture the different measuring constructs of cognitive functioning, physical functioning and quality of life in healthy ageing. Observational studies and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that high quality diets improve general health and well-being. The NU-AGE diet quality index was developed with the aim of ensuring healthy ageing for European older adults. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to develop a summ...
ABSTRACT The soils of Owerri area, Southeastern Nigeria were studied with a view to characterizing and classifying them. Four locations namely Umuhu (control), Amakohia (summit), Akpodim (midslope) and Ife (footslope) were selected in the study area, to assess the impact of topography on soil properties. Three profile pits were dug in each site. 65 soil samples were collected and examined with regards to their morphological, physical and chemical properties. Test for variance was carri...
ABSTRACT This research work is aimed at the development of computer programs using MATLAB based on the new polynomial shape functions, for analysis of single panel and continuous thin isotropic rectangular plates. Twelve single panel plate types of different boundary conditions namely SSSS, CCCC, CSSS, CSCS, CCSS, CCCS, SSFS, SCFS, CSFS, CCFS, SCFC and CCFC for aspect ratio, s= b/a, were analyzed for pure bending, buckling and free vibration using computer programs developed in this work....

Anatomical variation in the human body presents a complex challenge to design a universal antenna for all. The presence of the human body in close proximity to the antenna also presents a challenge as the near field strongly couples with a lossy medium. Other challenges include design of an antenna that is small in size without affecting its radiation pattern, efficiency, gain etc. In this work design of a biomedical antenna for cancer treatment using voxal parameters for doing SAR (specific ...

This study is mainly focusing on finding out whether or not computer graphics a...
ABSTRACT The reasons for minimal active participation of radiographers in post graduate studies are unclear. This is a cross sectional study aimed at determining the level of awareness of post graduate opportunities among radiographers, the major constraint impeding on post graduate education enrolment and factors that motivate radiographers to pursue post graduate studies. The study utilized a self administered semi-structured questionnaire. Respondents were practicing radiographers working ...
