Systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which tissues andcells undergo damage mediated by tissue binding auto-antibodies and immune complexes(McGraw, 2005).General findings include a much higher incidence in women estimated to be up to10-12 times than in men. The highest incidence is between 15 and 44 years of age.(Academic press, 1999) It, therefore, means that as much as ninety percent of patientsare women of childbearing age. Incidence of SLE has been studied in g...
Sixth Sense Technology is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cell phone—which acts as the computer and connected to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures. The camera recognizes objects around a person instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on any surface, including the object itself or hand.
Parasitic computing is programming technique where a program in normal authorized interactions with another program manages to get the other program to perform computations of a complex nature. It is, in a sense, a security exploit in that the program implementing the parasitic computing has no authority to consume resources made available to the other program. The example given by the original paper was two computers communicating over the Internet, under disguise of a standard communication...
ABSTRACT The present study was conducted at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of feeds (cotton seed cake, yeast supplement, cow milking ration) and seasonal variation (dry and rainy season) on dairy milk yield. A total of 21 mid lactation cows were fed with cotton seed cake, yeast supplement and cow milking ration in the two seasons respectively and the volume of milk produced by each cow was recorded �...
The use of metaheuristic search technique for generation of test data has been a burgeoning interest for many researchers in recent times. There has been a previous attempt to automate the test data generation process has been limited, having been constrained by the size and complexity of software, and the fundamental facts that in totality test data generation is an undecideable problem. Metaheuristic search technique is high level frameworks, which utilizes heuristic to seek solution for co...
ABSTRACT Biometrics is a technique of using characteristics and behavioral traits for identification of people this is more effective that common personal identification number(PIN) for an improved security technique. The basic procedure in a biometric system is the collection of biometric data through a sensor elements, the module extracted bares biometric data which is compared to its templates in a database to identify the data subject. In this work, the design of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic a...
ABSTRACT This project was centered on database management system for student registration system. The current process of registration is being operated manually and due to this procedure numerous problem are been encountered. A design was taken to computerized the manual process in order to check this problem. The problems were identified after series of interviews and examination of documents after which analysis was made and a computerized procedure recommended. This project will also sugg...
This study focused on elucidating the anatomy of Moringa oleifera seed and developing an efficient and cost effective procedure for using Moringa oleifera seeds to produce natural coagulant for use in drinking water treatment. The study investigates processing Moringa oleifera seeds to concentrate the bio-active constituents which have coagulation activity. It is generally accepted that Moringa works as a coagulant due to positively charged, water-soluble proteins, which bind with negatively ...
ABSTRACT This research work involve the isolation of two isolates titled RMN1 and RMN2, belonging to the Genus Serratia from two soil samples collected from the following two strategic locations in university of Abuja, permanent site: Termite hill besides Girls hostel dump ground and from Faculty of Agricultural Science farm land. The isolates were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore colour, aerial and substrate mycelium formation and production of diffusible pigment. Isolat...
Abstract: This study was aimed at determining the average performance of teams that participated at the 2014 World Cup in terms of goals scored. Bayesian approach was used to analyze this problem. There was an update of belief about the average goals scored in the tournament through the conjugate Gamma prior and the Poisson likelihood. Using the conjugate Gamma prior and Poisson likelihood, the average goals scored per team was 1.3354 and a posterior standard deviation of 0.1018. The 95%...
With its recent introduction as a course of study in the University of Jos, the number of students applying to study actuarial science in the University remains dismally low. This study was designed to assess the awareness level of actuarial science in the University of Jos community. Primary dataobtained with a semi-structured questionnaire administered on 280 respondents comprising academic and non-academic staff and students was analyzed using Descriptive statistical techniques. The study...
ABSTRACT The study involved the isolation of (2) isolates titled RMN1, RMN2, belonging to the Genus Serratia from ( 2) soil samples collected from the following two strategic locations in university of Abuja, permanent site: Termite hill besides Girls hostel dump ground and from Faculty of Agricultural Science farm land. The isolates were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore colour, aerial and substrate mycelium formation and production of diffusible pigment, Isolates were test...
Abstract: Palynological analysis was carried out on twenty (20) ditch cutting samples from a section (1284.73– 1496.57 m) of the Amansiodo-1 well, Anambra Basin, southeastern Nigeria with the aim of determining the age, biozone, and depositional environment of the sediments within the depth interval. The laboratory techniques of digesting sediments in hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids for silicates and carbonates removal were followed to process the samples for the recovery of palynomorph...
ABSTRACT Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea) shell and carpet grass (Axonopus flexuosus) were assessed for bioethanol production using dilute acid hydrolysis (10 %, 15 % and 20 % H2SO4) and fermentation using yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae). The percentage yields were determined to be 27.15 %, 19.69 % and 8.79 % for groundnut shell and 22.69 %, 13.92 % and 7.69 % for carpet grass respectively. The densities of the bioethanol produced were calculated to be 0.8072 g/cm3 for groundnut shell and 0.8303...
ABSTRACT This study focused on the comparative study of the phytochemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant activity of the stem bark and seed oil extracts of Allanblackia floribunda. The phytochemical screening revealed that both extracts contain flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides, alkaloids and saponins while terpenoids are absent in the stem bark extract but present in the seed oil extracts. However, the quantitative studies showed that proanthocyanidin, total phenol, total tannins ...
