ABSTRACT The emergence of multiple antibiotic resistance in bacteria and the indiscriminate use of antibiotics contribute to the dissemination of resistant pathogens in the environment which may cause problems in therapy and is a serious public health issue. This study was conducted to determine the incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clinical samples and their antibiotics resistant pattern. The organisms were isolated using standard microbiological techniques and the antibiotic susceptib...
Checking students for examination and attendance in a university environment is too cumbersome as a result of the increasing number of students. Private institutions especially are faced with problems of attaining accurate records of students’ attendance which normally involves circulating papers for students to sign in and sign out by registering their names on paper during examinations and this has proved to be stressful, time consuming, unreliable, inaccurate and inefficient. The study...
It's an analysis for the decline of geography in our Nigerian secondary schools over the years. The paper looks at the problems and causes of the decline in the subject. By using secondary data from the national examinations body the paper was able to deduce the reasons for the decline. Abstract: Geography as a school subject is one of the most important subjects in senior secondary school education and it’s relevant for students in their pursue of tertiary education cannot be over emph...
It's a comparative study of African countries with the highest GDP against their food production amid the ever growing population to ascertain if truly they are under threat of food security. Abstract Sustainable food security is every nation’s goal. For a nation to achieve sustainable food security, the food supply must exceed the demand. Using trend analysis, this study is an attempt to compare the nature of food security from 2000 to 2014 in Nigeria to selected African countries in eac...
ABSTRACT The effects of variety and processing methods on the functional properties of cassava flours were studied. The functional properties of the flour were determined using standard procedures. Cassava roots were fermented, blanched, soaked, dried and milled into flour. The functional properties of the flour were determined. There were variety and method of processing influence of the functional properties significantly. The gelation capacities varied between 75% and 80% bulk density, emu...
ABSTRACT The project is the design and implementation of database federation of public database of Nigerians using database links and web services. It involves the design of a representative of the primary database that houses comprehensive information about Nigeria residences; other smaller databases representing some of the government agencies concerned with the issuance of different types of identification cards/documents and a website for a representative of government security agency tha...
ABSTRACT Snail shells and discarded aluminium components are of low economic values, and are often considered as environmental pollutants. Finding ways of utilizing these supposed wastes is consequently a direct way of creating wealth from wastes. Snail shell particles are known for their hardness, and thus considered as good alloying agent for aluminum based composites. ...
The work was aimed at investigating the effect of Cocus nucifera on male albino rats. A number of rats were placed in groups and all groups were fed Cocus nucifera except one group, the control group. Analysis of results was done with ANOVA.
ABSTRACT The study was conducted to assess the antibacterial activity of Phyllanthus amarus (Schum and Thonn) extract against Salmonella typhi causative agent of typhoid fever at the laboratories of the Departments of Chemistry and Theoretical and Applied Biology of the College of Science, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi. The objectives were to determine the highest yield of crude extract of P. amarus using different proportions of water to ethanol and to determine ...
An alternate method of absolute value
The automatic means of assessment has proven to be the best solution to the process of selecting qualified prospective candidates among the growing population of candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions and also evaluation of large population of students in the higher institutions in Nigeria. CBT (computer-based testing) is the automatic evaluation or assessment by which knowledge of students or candidates are measured or tested. It is in this regard that the Joint Admission a...
Logistic regression model deals with the relationship that exists between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It provides a method for modeling a binary response variable, which takes values 1 and 0. Further, Logistic regression is useful for situations in which you want to be able to predict the presence or absence of a characteristic or outcome based on values of a set of predictor variables. It is similar to a linear regression model but is suited to models where th...
The Hamiltonian approach for constrained optimization is indeed a useful tool in the hands of the economists, scientists and statisticians who applied it in the modelling of optimization problems. It can be noted that the treatise in this research work is an eye opener for a better understanding, application and utilization of the method as we exploit its vitality to solving optimization problems. Though, the approach seems to be a derived approach from existed ones but also intensified a g...
Artificial Neural Networks have proven to be very useful in areas that concern data mining. This research project borders on the use of kohenen self-Organising Map, a neural network based unsupervised, competitive learning algorithm that can seperate a given dataset of customers and their prefences into groups known as clusters.
Results Computation in Higher Institutions using PHP, HTML, CSS, MYSQL Introduction A student’s result is the criteria for the measurement of the student’s capability in terms of academic work in the school. It is also used to measure a student’s capability in each course offered by the student. Without an adequate results computation system, the aim for which results are produced may not be achieved, because the slightest mistake made during the process might lead to a very big problem...
