ABSTRACT This study aimed at finding out the knowledge, attitudes and practices of pregnant women towards routine sonography. A prospective cross sectional Survey method was adopted. The data was collected through self-administered among 180 respondents and 176 were returned duly completed. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics. The present study shows that most of the women who present for antenatal care have general knowledge of ultrasound scan (9...
Abstract Background Colour Doppler sonography is used for visualization of blood flow, non- invasive evaluation of vascular resistance and measurements of velocities in renal and intrarenal arteries Its usefulness in the evaluation of the kidneys ranges from the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis and renovascular disease to the assessment of intra renal hemodynamics in several different pathological conditions such as essential hypertension, acute and chronic renal failure, pre and p...
ABSTRACT Radiation absorbed dose for patients undergoing myocardial perfusion has been calculated for technetium-99m Hexakis-2-methoxy-2-methylpropyl-isonitrile (99mTcSestamibi) at the Nuclear Medicine Department of Abdou Moumouni University. Thirty patients were scanned and image quantification was achieved using MedisoInterViewXP® software. An activity of370 MBq (10 mCi) of 99mTc-Sestamibi was administered for stress and 1110 MBq (30 mCi) for rest. A 256 x 1024 matrix size and a speed of ...
The study determined bony labyrinthine anomalies in a group of children with severe and profound hearing loss.
Abstract: Knowledge about types of soils and the status of their quality is needed for developing sound land use planning and soil management decision for enhancing crop productivity. However, such information is lacking in Kersa sub-watershed in eastern Ethiopia where the current study was conducted. The objectives of this study were, therefore, to 1) characterize and classify soils of the study area, 2) determine soil quality indicators using minimum data set and calculate soil quality ind...
ABSTRACT The report summarizes that in this Information Technology age, the needs of law enforcement are changing. Some traditional crimes, especially those concerning finance and commerce, continue to be upgraded teehnological1~. Paper trails have become electronic trails. Crimes associated and manipulations of data are detected daily. According to the website www.cyber crime.com, an attack is defined as any kind of malicious activity targetted against computer s~ stem resources. including,b...
ABSTRACT The word has gone technological and technology cannot be truly represented without the use of computers. Accountancy as a profession cannot be left out on the race to catch up with the world of computer technology. This phenomenon is accountants. Similarly, accountancy has continued to evolve in both structure and complexity in a rather dynamic manner. It was as a result of this development that gave birth to the use of computer in accounting. This research work is therefore aimed at...
ABSTRACT Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an advancement which followed computed tomography (CT) is expensive and inaccessible in most developing countries. However it is the procedure of choice in evaluating sellar and parasellar lesions. Its major advantages are its superior soft tissue contrast differentiation, its capacity for multiplanar imaging and nonexistence of ionising radiation. Its use is relatively new in Nigeria, a developing economy in Africa. Since its introductio...
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the normal spleen in Sudanese population using computed tomography (CT) scan by measuring the normal spleen, liver and vertebrae CT number as well as to correlate the spleen readings with patients age, gender and race as well as to correlate the spleen readings with liver and vertebrae CT numbers in order to find out the normal standard value as local refrence for Sudanese and to compare the findings with other population and literature. ...
ABSTRACT Pipes that make up oil and gas wells are not vertical but could be inclined at any angle between vertical and the horizontal which is a significant technology of modern drillingExperimental data on time varying liquid holdup for and pipe inclination angles were analyzed and interpreted. Parameters such as void fraction, slug frequency, lengths of liquid slug, Taylor bubble and slug unit, structure velocity and pressure drop were calculated from the experimental data. It was observed...
Computers in the classroom include any digital technology used to enhance, supplement, or replace a traditional educational curriculum. As computers have become more accessible, inexpensive, and powerful, the demand for this technology has increased, leading to more frequent use of computer resources within classes, and a decrease in the student-to-computer ratio within schools. College campuses used computer mainframes in education since the initial days of this technology, and throughout t...
ABSTRACT This project work is aimed to reveal the usefulness of computer usage is Banking Industry. The Bank which it’s function is to receive money, collect drafts, and cheque need more attention than it has been given, to do this, thus it is important for an organisation to have a strong control of its banking operations and employ the most effective and accurate method of controlling it. Besides, in Nigerian banking, the operation has been manually operated which brings a set back s...
COMPUTER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Over the years computer has been useful to modern day technology. Computer science and technology is one of the fastest career in modern day, this have improved humans beyond immeasurable doubts. Computer science and technology have developed through mechanical and electrical engineering technology with the basis of mathematical language analysis. For example earliest computers were bassically mechanically oriented but modern day computer have become more elect...
Computer Architecture Computer technology has made incredible progress in the throughly 60 years since the first general-purpose electronic computer was created. Today, less than $500 will purchase a personal computer that has more performance, more main memory, and more disk storage than a computer bought in 1985 for 1 million dollars. This rapid improvement has come both from advances in the technology used to build computers and from innovation in computer design. Although technological i...
Abstract Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) using Schlumberger array were carried out at different points along five (5) profiles. This research investigates the causes of massive borehole failure at Kaura area of Kaduna state using the resistivity tomography techniques. Terrameter SAS300 is the instruments used to acquire the data. A total of 19 boreholes are functioning, while 31 boreholes are non-functioning within the area. The investigation has portrayed...
