ANALYSIS OF TRACE METALS IN KIDNEY AND SKIN OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA MBAKARA A RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT ABSTRACT This study was to determine the concentration of trace metal (Cd, Pb, Fe, Cu and Zn) in the skin and kidney of a cowmeat. The analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of the trace metals in the different organs were as follows, skin cadmium 0.86 + 0.003, Lead 1.09 + 0.002, Iron 14.30 + 0.001 Copper 0.85 +...
Preliminary structural evaluation of an X-Field Onshore in Niger Delta using 3D seismic data A structural evaluation of a post stack time migrated (PSTM) 3D seismic data over an X–Field in the eastern Niger Delta has been attempted. The objective of the study is to structurally evaluate the field with a view to identifying structural features such as faults, map geologic horizons and analyze reflection characteristics that might be a good lead to probable hydrocarbon accumulations. Results ...
Pest and diseases have a serious effect on food production. Global crop yields are reduced by 20 to 40% annually due to impact of pests and diseases.Indiscriminate use of insecticides to combat insect challenges, have increased the selection pressure leading to resistance in insects. In such a situation, alternate options of insect control are advocated. The use of microbial insecticidal compounds offer adequate levels of insect control and pose fewer hazards.Microbial insecticidal compou...

Electromagnetic Distance Measurement (EDM) equipment is calibrated on a base to determine instrument constants and errors. A series of measurements on a base can also be used to check the performance and reliability of the instrument over time and to assess its precision against the manufacturer's specifications. This research work, the establishment of Electromagnetic Distance Measurement (EDM) calibration base entails the setting up of a functional base where calibration of electr...
This purpose of this study is to determine the Inhibitory zone diameter (Izd), phytochemical screening, elemental composition and proximate analysis of crude Cleistopholis patens leaf, bark, aqueous and ethanol extracts on selected pathogenic isolates. The leaf and bark of Cleistopholis patens plants were obtained from a location in the southwestern part of Nigeria, in the tropical rainforest of Ikare Akoko, Ondo state and Ile Ife, Osun state, Nigeria. The six (6) bacterial isolates include E...
ABSTRACT This dissertation applied time series model to study the impact of HIV and Tuberculosis with implications on productivity of Benue state farmers using cointegrated autoregressive model and granger causality test. The study utilize monthly time series data on the serologically confirmed and reported cases of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) in Benue state of Nigeria covering the fiscal year from January, 2007 to Decembers, 2016 and employed dickey-fuller Generalized least square unit ...
A new formula based on forward difference operator is derived herein, the formula is used to compute the nth term and sum (Sn) of an Arithmetic progression. The merit of using the formula is that if given , the nth term of an A.P can be easily and quickly computed if n is not known.
Hepatitis B is an infection of your liver. It can cause scarring of the organ, liver failure, and cancer. It can be fatal if it isn’t treated.It’s spread when people come in contact with the blood, open sores, or body fluids of someone who has the hepatitis B virus. The disease don’t last a long time. Your body fights it off within a few months, and you’re immune for the rest of your life.Hepatitis B is a contagious liver infsection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The natural...
Abstract Background Newcastle disease is a highly contagious disease of birds caused by Paramyxovirus. Birds mostly affected by Paramyxovirus virus includes; chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and guinea fowls. Newcastle disease however, remains a worldwide problem. There are three major strains of Newcastle disease virus and they are velogenic, mesogenic and lentogenic strains respectively. These viral strains reflects the severity of the disease pathotypes. In the medical laboratory, the...
Abstract Physical Separation process refers to all the mineral separation techniques that are based on exploiting the differences in specific physical properties of the mineral such as specific gravity, magnetic properties, thermal and electrical conductivity. Physical separation techniques are usually preferred for economic reasons. Physical separation techniques include; •Gravity separation process •Classifiers •Magnetic separation process •Electrical separation process •Separati...

The drive behind this research work cannot be far-fetched from the quest to precisely predict how effectively welded low carbon steel pipes will function in industrial service applications requiring subjecting them to service use at elevated temperature as a function of inferences drawn from a critical study of the corrosion behavior of these welded steel pipes in both acidic and salty environment. To this end, a particular low carbon steel pipe of known chemical composition was sectioned int...
ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to design and implement a computerized Online Bank Verification Number System for Nigerian Bank Customers in the Diaspora. This project was motivated because of the fact that Nigerian bank customers in the Diaspora are barred from having access to their fund in Nigerian banks without BVN, therefore they are required to come back for biometric capture before they can operate on those accounts. The methodology adopted for this research is Structured S...
ABSTRACT Staff records play a significant role in an organization as it provides information needed to manage their employees’ performance. Many organizations particularly the government agencies are still using the conventional methods which are merely paper-based to record the data of their employees, this often result in downright waste of time in generating reports or searching for employees’ records and loss or damage of files. These inadequacies in the conventional method are char...
