The project design and implementation of Gaposa Bookshop is an attempt towards computerizing the operations (transactions) taking place in the school bookshop. The rapid pace of technological changes in business motivated the researcher to develop a web application that improves manual operations of the transactions which are naturally prone to errors and time wastage. This system is called Bookshop Management System and it is developed using MYSQL as the database language and LARAVEL a powerful PHP framework. It is possible to request, pay and get books through this software. The researcher conducted the research and captured the data through primary and secondary sources. The data obtained were then used for the analysis of the previous method of operation and transaction on one hand and then for designing an online method of purchase on the other hand.

The pursuit of sustainability and reduction of green-house gas emission has led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Anaerobic digestion of biological substances is a process that utilizes biomass in a four-stage biodegradation to yield biogas which comprises mainly CO2 and CH4 and traces of other gases in minute quantity and can be used as energy source for cooking, lighting and fuel for automobile engines.Biogas can be obtained from various plant and animal waste but this research examines the production from POME and a blend of POME and Algae in varying proportions. The algae were pre-treated and both samples finely crushed to improve the degradability before chemical analysis (such as the moisture content and the percentage of volatile solid in the samples) was carried out.The experimental set up comprises three digesters labeled A, B, C and D containing POME and algae blend in the ratio of 100%:0%; 50%:50%and 66.6%:33.3% respectively. Daily production for a 20day period was examined and the biogas kinetic model for evaluating production yield developed from the mass balance equation was used to validate the experimental results. A lower retention time was observed for digester B compared toC and A respectively but the cumulative yield over the given time periodfor B compared to C and A. This indicates that Algae; a third-generation biofuel can be used to improve the performance of POME in biogas production.

Dermatophyte infection is still prevalent among basic school pupils and has been known to impact negatively on health and well-being of children. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence as well as the etiologic organisms of dermatophyte infection among primary school children aged 5-13 years in Aba North Local Government Area in Abia state. Five public primary schools were selected for this study. The samples were collected by scrapping and use of a sterile swab. Microscopy and culturing methods were used to identify the infections. Of the 100 pupils examined, 53 pupils were found to have dermatophytic fungal infection giving a prevalence of 53%. Five fungi species belonging to two genera: Microsporum and Trichophyton were identified. These include: Microsporum canis (9.43%), Microsporum audounii (24.53%), Microsporum gypseum (16.98%), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (43.40%) and Trichophyton tonsurans (5.66%). Although there was a statistically insignificant difference between male and female subjects, male pupils were more affected. Infection was insignificantly common in the age group of 8 – 10 years. The study shows that the prevalence of dermatophytic fungal infection among primary school children in Aba North L. G. A is high which needs an intervention.

Locally made brown sugar samples were purchased at five different locations (Z1,Z2,Z3, Z4, and Z5) in Zaria Kaduna, Northern part of Nigeria have been subjected to dehydration with an objective of modeling the intra –particle diffusion pattern of the intrinsic water molecules at a constant process temperature of 102oC.The model considered the sugar samples as a sorbent layer which controls the movement of the water molecules in relationship with the square root of the time taken ( ) at a different specified rate of 5,10,20,30,40,50 to 60 minutes and an extension of determination of reaction(dehydration) rate with the process mechanism.Experimental and the theoretical models were established via the linear plot of equivalent weights of the lost moisture against the square root of the elapsed time at a constant temperature of 120oC. Experimental plots of sample Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 &, Z5 generated regression factors (R2E) of 0.9168, 0.9615, 0.9716, 0.8976, & 0.9869; Slope (K) of 1.1982, 1.2686, 1.3082, 0.6379 & 0.3851; Intercept (C) of 0.9598, -0.4738, 0.5957, 0.5957 & 0.0809 respectively. Theoretical modeling was achieved by direct substitution of the slope and the intercept from the experimental model which generally produced a regression (R2T) of 1 (unity) as an ideal and perfect model. However, the disparity between the experimental and the theoretical models was ascribed to experimental error or systematic error. Coefficient of non determination was adopted to calculate the percentage error encounter, which with Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, & Z5 is 8.32%, 3.85%, 2.84%, 10.24%, & 1.31% respectively.Parameters such as temperature, moisture, and rate with respect to molasses as a second component are very germane to the preservation, control and pilot production of brown sugar.

The field of synthetic biology poses greater potentials with growing number of applications that can transform various sectors of the economy geared towards green technology. The potentials and essentials that synthetic biology poses in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, chemical production and energy sectors propose for better solutions to some of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, such as climate change due to global warming, water scarcity, pollution’s and many others thus can be considered as the modern day epitome of disruptive innovations since it creates a new market and value network that will eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established market-leading firms, products, and alliances in biotechnology. Disruptive innovation was a term of art coined by Clayton Christensen, describes a process by which a product or service begins at the bottom of a market trend and then exponentially moves up ladder disrupting or displacing already established competitors in that particular field. According to the disruptive innovation theory not all innovations are disruptive, even if they are revolutionary. This review paper focuses on the potentials of the synthetic biology and emerging ethical concerns associated with innovative potentials of the emerging field of synthetic biology and why research institutions should focus more on synthetic biology as consortium of the modern advances in inventions and innovations and by examining the emerging global trends and problems, and looking for solutions and applications, it is affirmative that synthetic biology is a game-changing technology for the future since there are many exciting applications that directly address global needs in a fundamental way.

The main objective of the study was to examine the role of non-motorized transport in promoting rural mobility in Laikipia County, Kenya. The hypothesis tested was: walking and cycling are independent of distance travelled in Laikipia County. A questionnaire survey was used to interview 384 respondents from the area of study. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.Data was randomly selected from the individuals from a complete list of the population. Stratified samples from the population were used for primary data collection. The population was further divided into strata with similar characteristic and participants were selected within the strata. The strata in this case were 15administrative wards within which proportionate sampling were carried out. The study revealed that; income and distance, age, marital status had a weak positive correlation of 0.205, 0.260 and 0.250 respectively. This implies that these variables were weak determinants of walking and cycling in Laikipia County. A correlation between respondents’ occupation and distance travelled showed a significant positive correlation of 0.492. This indicates that respondents’ occupation determines the distance travelled by walking and cycling in Laikipia County. This also implies that business location determines the distance travelled by the respondents in the County. The study also revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between education level and distance travelled in the County. This means that the higher the level of education the greater the need of social interaction in search of business opportunities irrespective of the distance within the county. Key findings were: (i) there was no statistical significance in the difference between both cycling and walking and promotion of mobility and in Laikipia County. The calculated value of χ2 was less than the critical χ2, the study concluded that, there was no enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and therefore a conclusion was drawn that, promotion of mobility was independent of cycling and walking in Laikipia County; (ii) the study also found out that a correlation between the respondents’ income and occupation had a significant correlation of 0.421. A conclusion was drawn that income and economic activities significantly determines the distance travelled in Laikipia County. A multiple linear regression between walking and cycling showed a weak positive relationship which was denoted by R2 = 0.015. This implies that the relationship between walking and cycling was independent of the distance travelled. The study recommended that: (a) Research on effect of car journeys’ reduction be carried out in the county. (b) Interrogation of the non-motorized transport technologies adopted in Laikipia County should be done. (d) Lane segregation for both pedestrians and cyclists with physical partitions between motorized traffic and non motorized transport should be provided, and (e) Prices of spare-parts should be reduced by the government.

We have reflected on the ratio of specific heat and temperature (γorCel) of selected electron and hole doped high-Tccuprates. The electronic specific heat rises slowly and there is a sudden drop at the critical temperature and then it gradually decreases for temperatures above TC. The behavior of electronic specific heat below TC is in good agreement with the BCS result for d-wave superconductor. The electronic contribution to the total specific heat of these materials is less than 1 %.The relevance to high-Tc superconductivity in the cupratesis discussed.

Rainfall is the main source of water which is an important basic requirement for a living. It is therefore important to have proper planning and water resources management in any county. In this study, the purpose was to study annual trends of rainfall in Narok and Kisii counties. Specifically the study sought to detect trends in the rainfall time series data, to determine the significance and magnitude of the trends and to compare the trends behavior for Narok and Kisii counties. The data used for this study was obtained from the Kenya Metrological Department for the period 1963 to 2015 inclusive for Narok and Kisii counties. Studying trends will help the residents of the two counties to cope with the climate change in the area. Mann Kendall and Sen’s Slope were used to analyse rainfall data. The results showed that Kisii County had a significant increasing trend while Narok County had a significant decreasing trend.

Biodiversity values at ecosystem depend on how people use, manage and interact with the forest trees and trees outside the forest. Between 1990 and 2010 Kenya‟s forest cover significantly reduced by 6.5%. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of human activities on vegetation characteristics in Chepalungu Forest (CF).Primary data constituted responses from randomly sampled local community, the herbalist, cultivators and foresters interviewed. Their response rate was 96%, 100%, 100% and 60% respectively that were analyzed in SPSS. Obtaining firewood, grazing fodder, honey, herbs among others occurred very frequently in 88%, 83% 93% and 90% respectively. Cutting, trampling and browsing as disturbance on trees accounted for 73%, 15% and 12% respectively. 98%, 81%, 75% and 40% of the respondents considered charcoal making, grazing, and browsing and firewood collection to be very destructive human activities occurring in CF respectively. The forest has decreased in a margin of 9% between 1985 and 2010 in its area with 7% attributed to clear-cutting established using change detection technique. CF has a tree diversity of 0.6, 0.4 and 0.3 in the edge, core and middle zones respectively measured on Simpson Species Diversity Index. This data was collected using stratified random sampling with established square quadrats along line transects. The forest is managed by protecting and replanting trees which 91% and 76% of residents and forest officers considers inadequate. The local community feels alienated from the conservation as 89% are of the view that conservation management be done by the residents. Collaboration of all stake holders is preferred by 87% of the respondents and 95% proposed that fencing be done compared to 82% in favor of planting trees on farm among other viable conservation measures. Chi-square was conducted to test the significance of association. The forest has been over exploited by unregulated use. It is recommended that clear guidelines on the legal activities be developed by the forest department with public participation to regulate use of its resources. The forest department to develop inventory on what they are conserving to allow periodic audit that will guide conservation strategies.

This research investigates and compares the rate of flow of water through varying composition of soil samples collected from a sand dredging site at Amassoma community in Bayelsa State of Nigeria. The soil sample comprises of a mixture of two samples (sharp and medium) in different proportions. The different mixtures of soil samples were weighed and mixed by percentage and grouped into seven (Group A: 100% sharp sand and 0% medium sandy soil, Group A: 100% sharp sand and 0% medium sandy soil, Group A: 100% sharp sand and 0% medium sandy soil, Group B: 80% sharp sand and 20% medium sandy soil, Group C: 60% sharp sand and 40% medium sandy soil, Group D: 50% sharp sand and 50% medium sandy soil, Group E: 30% sharp sand and 70% medium sandy soil, Group F: 10% sharp sand and 90% medium sandy soil and Group G: 100% sharp sand and 0% medium sandy soil). Equal measured quantity of water was poured into a transparent PVC pipe containing the soil samples of each group and the time for the first drop and volume of water collected at an interval of 100mls were recorded. Results showed that the time of first drop differed with the different groups of soil samples and the values of the times of the volume of water collected were highly correlated. The results also showed no difference in the time for the volume of water collected for the dependent samples (dry and wet) for all groups and in most cases of the independent samples (both (dry and dry) and (wet and wet) cases) except for sample B (dry) and F (dry), sample C (dry) and D (dry) and sample E (dry) and G (dry).

Forest management, deforestation, forest fire, forest exploitation due to the change of attitude of the people and multinational corporationspossesing interest in forest business has led to environment degradation, forest deterioration in particular. Forest certification was then introduced aiming to secure the forest area, and it was initiated by intenational non-governmental organization namely WWF and Greenpeace. It was futher developed in regulations concerning ISO, SFM (Sustainable Forest Management) Certificate for paper products, and forest certification known as Chain of Custody (CoC). The research uses secondary data. The aim is to examine the role of forest certification as a tool of achieving sustainable development from international and national law.

This paper was undertaken to examine the effect of cooperative on farmers’ output in Awka South Local Government Area, Anambra State, Nigeri. The study used a descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze data that were obtained from one hundred and twenty-six (126) respondents. Findings revealed that before joining cooperatives that farmers do have access to improved seedlings and fertilizer while they do not have adequate access to agric credit, emerging markets, and extension services. However, after joining there was an improvement in their access to agric credit, improved seedlings, fertilizer and emerging markets, but there was limited access to extension services. T-test result shows that there is a significant difference on the mean difference between services received by members before and after belonging to farmers cooperative. Regression results also show that farmers membership of cooperative has a significant and positive effect on the farmers output. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations were made: The Anambra State government should encourage research, development and extension of adequate extension services to cooperative farmers through the Ministry in charge of cooperative in the state. The extension education of the farmers will help them have knowledge of emerging markets. Non cooperative farmers should be encouraged to join cooperative to enable them have access to various agricultural services. The government should as well provide adequate funding for farmers co-operative societies to acquire all the needed human and material inputs to ensure efficiency in its performance. The management of farmers co-operative societies must ensure that the members of the societies are properly enlightened through cooperative education so as to embrace the positive contributions which the activities of the co-operative would avail them and also the government should exert a sound agricultural extension policy because it is indispensable to achieve success in transferring knowledge to farmers.

This study analyzed the determinants and resource use efficiency in groundnut production in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The objectives of the study were describe the socio-economic characteristic, estimate the production relationship of inputs and output for groundnut production and analyze the resource use efficiency in groundnut production. Multi-stage and random sampling techniques were used to select eighty three farmers used for the study. Descriptive statistics was used to analyzed the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, production function using multiple regression analysis was used to show the relationship between inputs and output while resource use efficiency of the groundnut farmers were estimated using marginal value productivity- marginal factor cost approach. About (59%) of the respondents are married while majority (87.5%)of the respondents have formal education. The result shows 80.20 % of the variation in the output of groundnut were accounted for by the inputs and capital was the only input that was significant at 1 % probability level and was positively signed which shows that as capital increases the output of groundnut increases. The result also revealed that all the inputs used were underutilized which shows that the farmers are inefficient in their used of their resources for production of groundnut in the study area. The study recommends that farmers should be assisted with loan facilities from commercial bank to help them increase groundnut production in the study area since capital significantly influences the output of groundnut.

Water is something important for the trees to be growth. The trees produce the oxygen which is important for the people. Trees would die if the water is not enough but if we use water a lot, there would be a waste. By using automatic plant watering system reduce a lot of water usage and to prevent lack water for the plant. In this system, moisture sensor is used for sensing the moisture level of soil and then auto watering the require amount of water for the plants by motor-1. When soil reaches threshold, motor-1 will automatically stop watering. When the plant needs the water to be ready to supply, there is must be sufficient water for pump motor-1. So the system add-on a sub system, automatic controlled the water level in the tank. Ultra sonic sensor is used in this sub system to sense the water level in the tank and auto filling the water in the tank. When water reach under the low level or the desire level in the tank, automatically switch on/off motor-2. This system uses Arduino Uno board to control all hardware components.

Hydrocarbon pollution Remediation by Enhanced Natural Attenuation method was adopted to remediate the hydrocarbon impacted site in Ogoniland Rivers State, Nigeria . The research lasted for 6 months. Samples were collected at monthly intervals . samples were collected intermittently between Feb 2019 to July 2019 . Mineral salt medium containing crude oil was used as a sole source of carbon and energy for the isolation of hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria. Samples were collected from the four (4) local government that made up Ogoniland and they includes Khana(k), Gokana (G),Tai (T), Eleme (E) and transported immediately to the laboratory for analysis. The microbial and physicochemical properties of the soil samples varied with the different local government areas. Seven bacteria genera were isolated from the samples from the four locations, viz, Pseudomonas, Lactobacter, Micrococcus, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Brevibacterium and Mycobacterium were isolated and identified. the seven isolate were indigenous in the study area. Nutrient were added to identified plots of hydrocarbon pollution polluted site within the four local government and they were able degrade hydrocarbon within a short of period of time. Reassessment of physicochemical parameter impacted site was used to judge the bioremediation potentials of microorganism.

Teachers world over play a vital role in the academic growth and development of children. Good training and retention of teachers is therefore a necessity for any country. However, concerns about occupational attrition among teachers have been reported widely as global phenomena. In Kenya a number of teachers have transferred their services to other sectors like the Ministries of Education, Youth and Gender; the Teachers’ Service Commission secretariat, Non-Governmental Organizations among many others. Occupational attrition translates amongst other things into shortages in teacher supply, high recruitment costs and poor learners’ performance due to unprecedented disruptions which poses a challenge to the education system. The study sought to propose a deterministic model for occupational attrition among teachers in public secondary schools in Kenya. The study was anchored on four objectives; to propose a deterministic model for occupational attrition among secondary school teachers, to study the properties of the model, to carry out a simulation study on the proposed model and to apply the model to the case of Kisumu East Sub-County in Kenya. The study was carried out in ten public schools in Kisumu East Sub-County selected using stratified random sampling using three strata; boys’, girls’ and mixed schools from which a sample of 250 teachers was drawn. A multiple linear regression model was constructed using R programming language. The adequacy of the regression model was examined using adjusted R2 and the significance of the regression model was tested both globally and marginally. The study revealed that poor schemes of service highly influenced occupational attrition compared to the other factors. It was recommended that the Government should revise the schemes of service introduce competitive package for those with higher qualifications.

This article demonstrated how Box-Jenkins SARIMA modeling protocols can be bypassed to arrive at one of the best possible models for a series. Data on monthly average maximum temperature of Bida, Niger State (in oC), covering January 2002 to December 2016 was collected from the National Cereals Research Institute, Baddegi, Bida, Niger State, Nigeria. The number of non seasonal and seasonal AR and MA parameters was each set at 0, 1 and 2; the order of non seasonal and seasonal differencing was set at 0 and 1. All possible models arising from combinations of these parameters were examined. Since 4 of 364 combinations had no parameters, a total of 360 models were estimated by nonlinear least squares method. Models were compared on the basis of Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The least AIC value of 2.3558 corresponding to SARIMA (1, 1, 2) X (2, 1, 2)12 was obtained. Test of model adequacy of selected model produced a p-value of 0.000, implying a very high significance. It was recommended that the selected model be used for forecasting monthly average maximum temperature of Bida and tried on similar data for other locations in the country.
