Computer is a machine that is invented and developed by mimicking the functionality of the human brains. Several human abilities are utilized in writing the programs that run this excellent device. As a result the computer could be applied to solve virtually all problems of man (except spiritual problems).My question is: "Would it not be very beneficial to be educated on how to use this problem solving device?"
ABSTRACT Regardless of the vital role that intra urban transportation play in any urban area, their services are frequently insufficient to meet passengers demand and services for their daily commuting. This study assesses the quality of intra urban passenger bus services in Zaria urban area, Nigeria, taking into recognition the perception of passengers. The specific objectives were to map the area coverage and route of intra urban passenger bus services, estimate the average walking distance...
ABSTRACT Azadirachta indica, commonly known as Neem, has attracted worldwide prominence in recent years as a cynosure of modern medicine owing to its wide range of medicinal properties. This study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the multi-solvent (methanol, ethanol and hexane) extracts of the leaves of Azadirachta indica of Meliaceae family. The extracts were investigated for phytochemical constituents such as tannins, saponins, alkaloid...
ABSTRACT This project is aimed at automating the process involved in generating students examination result that would ensure speedy processing and release of the student’s results, eliminate error due to manual processing, prohibit doctoring of results and prevent lost of examination results. The software system was developed within the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. ASP.NET is used to create the pages. The database is generated and managed using MySQL. The codes were scripted usin...
ABSTRACTEucalyptus camaldulensis is an important medicinal herb in traditional healthcare practice and has been reported for various biological activities. The objective of the present study was to analyze the antibacterial potentials and toxicity study of E. camaldulensis leave extracts against clinical isolates of salmonella species. The E. camaldulensis leaves were extracted separately and successively with ethanol, water and methanol using percolation method. The extracts were tested in v...
A seminar research was conducted within Sokoto metropolis of Nigeria to identify the physiological and anatomical effects of mistletoe on the tree population, to which the research yield a tremendous result in which the mistletoe affect the tree to a level where the mistletoe brings about the total cell death (apoptosis) of various organs of the organism resulting in the organism total inactivity ie death
ABSTRACT Phytochemical and Proximate analyses of two samples of Aloe vera from variable habitats (highland and lowland) of Sokoto metropolis were accessed. Phytochemical and proximate compositions of highland sample were 8.16mg/100g of Saponin, 3.40mg/100g of Glycoside, 1.80mg/100g of Alkaloid and 2.50mg/100g of Anthraquinone. Proximate constituents’ analysis revealed 6% of Moisture, 10.5% of Ash, 2.5% of Crude lipid, 8.13% of Crude protein, 1% of Crude fibre and 70.57% of Carbohydrate resp...
The study area Kafin Maiyaki and its environs is a segment of sheet 103 Federal Survey Topographical Sheet 103 Ikara NW. The area is underlain by migmatite-gneiss and medium to coarse grain gneiss and has been intruded by a series of Pan African Granitoids. Geological structures observed in the area were faults, joints and veins trending mostly in the NW-SE and NE-SW indicating the effect of Pan African Orogeny. No evidence of economic mineralization has been observed but from the petrographi...
ABSTRACT Exposure to environmental toxicant was known to cause neuronal disorders in humans. Hence, the present study evaluates the toxic effect of leachate (an environmental toxicant) in the synaptosomes of female rats and the reversal effect of phenolic-rich fraction from Croton zambesicus. Fifty animals were divided into five groups. Group I (Control) received 0.5ml of distilled water only, Group II (non-withdrawal) received 0.5ml of leachate for 14 weeks, Group III (withdrawal) received 0...
Abstract Elemental bismuth has been reported to exhibit antimicrobial activity, but it does so only at relatively high millimolar concentrations due to its limited solubility in water. However, its solubility can be increased upon chelation with other materials like curcumin thereby increasing its potential as antimicrobial agent even at much more lower concentration. In this study, a novel Bismuth nanoparticless were prepared from non-toxic curcumin as stabilizing and capping agent to elim...
Vegetative propagation method through induction of adventitious rooting in both softwood and semi- hardwoodhypocotyl plus stem (HpS) and juvenile stem (JS) was reported in Anacardium occidentale, an average size tropical evergreen tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. The induction of adventitious roots is an essential process in vegetative propagation. Adventitious rooting in above cuttings was induced by exogenous application of root promoting substances (RPS) viz. Indole-3-butyri...
ABSTRACT The taxonomic composition, abundance and distribution of phytoplankton in Ifewara Reservoir, Southwestern Nigeria was studied for four months (February to December, 2015). Four sampling stations (designated Stations 1-4) were established along the horizontal axis of the reservoir from inflow region to the dam site end. The stations were all sampled at the marginal sides (A and C) and open water B except for Station 1 which was only at the open water. At each station, net plankton sam...
