Effect of Internal Energy on Specific Heat of Cuprates using s-Wave and d-Wave Hybrid Model

Andrew Munyasia Wanyonyi, Michael Nakitare Waswa, John W Makokha July 2020 Page No.: 01-04

The observation of an exponential decay of the specific heat at low temperatures shows that specific heat (Cv) of cuprates depend on the energy spectrum of a superconductor. This means that devising ways of varying internal energy of a system without necessarily varying temperature can help achieve room temperature superconductivity. In this paper, the relationship between internal energy and specific heat is investigated using a Hamiltonian generated from a Hybrid of s-wave and d-wave. The Hamiltonian was diagonalized by Bogoliubov-Valatin (BVT) formalism and used to analyze specific heat of Bismuth cuprates. The graph of Cv versus temperature was a skewed Gaussian shaped curve. Maximum Cv was observed at Tc (32 K, 94 K and 108 K) respectively as 2750 eV/K, for Bi-2201, Bi-2212 and Bi-2223. Increasing the number of copper oxide layers can therefore help increase binding energy and increase the temperature at which maximum Cv of the system is attained, a prerequisite for attaining high transition temperature (Tc). As a consequence, room temperature superconductivity can be achieved by varying the binding energy (increasing copper oxide planes) in a lattice of a cuprate superconductor.

Md. Golam Azam, Lovely Nahar, Shah Md. Abdur Rouf, Mamunur Rashid, Md. Gausur Rahman, Moizur Rahman July 2020 Page No.: 05-12

Objectives: Paramphistomiasis is a common disease of ruminant causes heavy economic losses, distributed all over the world and caused by different genus and species of paramphistomes. This study was conducted to investigate the epidemiology of paramphistomiasis in cattle in northern areas of Bangladesh. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from July, 2018 to October, 2019 and a total 300 faecal, 150 visceral and 300 snail samples were examined. The faecal samples were examined by Modified Stoll’s Dilution Technique. The paramphistomes were preliminary identified under microscope using low powder objectives and snails were identified by their characteristics shell characters. Results: The overall prevalence of paramphistomiasis was recorded as 79.66% (faecal sample) and 92.67% (visceral sample). Prevalence was higher in adult and female than young and male. Cross breed and pasture grazing cattle were more infected than indigenous and stall feeding cattle. Infection rate was high in poor health cattle and rainy season than good health cattle and summer season. It was observed that prevalence of paramphistomiasis in cattle was significantly affected by age, sex, breed, feeding habit of cattle but seasons of the year had no significant effect. It was found that 6.33% snail (Indoplanorbis sp.) of the research areas were infected with amphistomes cercariae and infection rate was high in rainy season. Denudation of the rumen papillae and severe haemorrhagic enteritis was also observed. Conclusion: It may conclude that age, sex, breed, feeding habit of cattle had significant effect on the prevalence of paramphistomiasis in cattle.

Determination of Heavy Metal Content in Several Commercially Available Fruit Juices in Sri Lanka

Janaka P. K. Kavikarage, Udaya Jayasundara July 2020 Page No.: 18-20

Fruit juice samples (27) packaged in plastic bottles purchased from several retail stores in the Colombo district of Sri Lanka were analyzed for heavy metals. The fruit juice samples belonged to three categories, namely mango (9), wood apple (9), and mixed fruit (9). All samples were acid digested using ultrapure nitric acid. The concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in these digested samples were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry. Recovery efficiency for Cd and Pb were 98.03±0.23% and 96.97±0.53% respectively. The levels of Cd in 14 fruit juice samples were above the recommended concentration (3ppb), as stated by WHO. However, the Cd level in all samples was below the stated value by UA-EPA and EU (5ppb), except for one sample which was 6.48±1.81 ppb. The Pb analyzed in all samples was below the recommended level as stated by WHO, EU (10ppb), and UA-EPA (15 ppb). These results show that the commercially available bottled fruit juice samples are safe for consumption and that the Cd and Pb content present on the juices may not have a toxic effect.

Comparative Analysis of Biogas Produced from Treated Oil-Palm Husks

Adebote, Victoria Temitope, Ajala, Lola, Ibitoye, Francisca Omolara July 2020 Page No.: 27-29

Production of biogas from oil palm husks treated with enzyme and alkaline for seven weeks were investigated. The physicochemical and bacteriological characteristics of the treated oil palm husks using standard techniques were also determined. The ash content, moisture content, nitrogen, total solid, organic carbon, fat, volatile matter before and after digestion of oil palm treated with enzyme were 2.60 – 2.85, 3.56 – 2.10, 0.68 -0.30, 96.44 -92.12. 87.85 -84.01, 97.40 -91.50, 0.3. -0.50 and 5.99 – 3.51 while that of oil palm husks treated with alkaline were 2.24 – 2.40, 3.51 – 2.50, 0.73 – 0.50, 96.49 – 94.08, 89.16 – 87.28, 97.76 – 94.17, 0.30 – 0.55 and 5.09 – 4.02 respectively. The bacteria isolated were Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megatonium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium sporogenes and Bacillus cereus. The cumulative biogas yielded from enzyme treated oil palm husks and alkaline treated oil palm husks were 111ml and 109ml respectively. The study shows that both treatments can yield biogas when used to treat oil palm husks but enzyme treated oil palm husks has a greater potential to generate more biogas

Laplace-Carson Transform for the Primitive of Convolution Type Volterra Integro-Differential Equation of First Kind

Sudhanshu Aggarwal, Swarg Deep Sharma, Aakansha Vyas July 2020 Page No.: 30-36

Volterra integro-differential equations appear in many branches of engineering, physics, biology, astronomy, radiology and having many interesting applications such as process of glass forming, diffusion process, heat and mass transfer, growth of cells and describing the motion of satellite. In this paper, authors present Laplace-Carson transform for the primitive of convolution type Volterra integro-differential equation of first kind. Four numerical problems have been considered and solved using Laplace-Carson transform for explaining the applicability of present transform. Results of numerical problems show that the Laplace-Carson transform is very effective integral transform for determining the primitive of convolution type Volterra integro-differential equation of first kind.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Gel-Biopolymer from Cane Sugar and Polymethyl acrylate

Alex O. Akinsanoye, Mopelola A. Omotoso, Oluwaseun O. Afolabi July 2020 Page No.: 37-43

The use of cane sugar for the preparation of gel biopolymer was studied as an alternative to petroleum based gels due to their biodegradability. The sugar used was in the form of syrup obtained from evaporation of extracted cane juice. Polymethyacrylate(PMA) was obtained by polymerizing methylacrylate monomer(MA). This was copolymerized with the syrup from the cane sugar to obtain the sugar-based acrylate biopolymer (Sugar-g-PMA) via graft copolymerization of PMA using acidified potassium permanganate as initiator at 90⁰C. The product obtained was a dark brown gel. FTIR and ¹H-NMR were used to characterize the sugar, PMA and the copolymer. The percentage of cane sugar juice extracted was 47.94% while percentage syrup obtained from the extracted cane juice was 15.22%. FTIR spectrum prominent bands found in the cane sugar were 3365.00cm^-1 and 1052.00cm^-1 for O-H stretch and C-O stretch respectively. The PMA shows the C-O stretch, C=O peak and CH₂ bend respectively at 1165.47cm^-1, 1737.37cm^-1 and 3426.00cm^-1 to confirm ester functional group moiety . The disappearance of the carbonyl peak at 1737.37cm^-1in the new Sugar-g-PMA gel copolymer confirm the grafting process. The ¹H-NMR spectrum prominent peaks found in the cane sugar were 4.04ppm, 3.81ppm and 3.66ppm which confirmed the OCH₂ and O-H group in the sugar moiety. The PMA showed important signals at 3.87ppm, 3.79ppm and 3.64ppm that confirm the presence of ester functional group. The ¹H-NMR spectrum of the Sugar-g-PMA showed a novel peak at 9.52ppm that confirm grafting process. The FTIR and ¹H-NMR results showed that the graft copolymerization reaction was successful. The Sugar-g-PMA gel produced represents an additional contribution to sustainability and production of environmentally friendly bio-based polymeric material.

Smart Safe Alert for Passengers Using IOT

A. Gokilavani, R.Atchaya, M. Logappriya, A. Priyanka, R. Sathish Kumar July 2020 Page No.: 44-48

“Smart Safe Alert for Passengers Using IOT” In India 10 million are depend only on public transport service to achieve effective utilization of resources in the transport service. we proposed a project to address the issues of public transport system. smart safe alert system is specially designed for the passengers using internet of things. It has an inbuilt application which provides emergency support to the passengers. Bus is traveled through a number of bus stops. Many times buses change their routes and new bus stop names need to be configured in RF tag. So here we propose a speaking bus stop indicator system using Arduino Uno .We use RF id based circuits which will be placed on bus stops. This system does not need any bus stop name or route names to be stored in the bus system. Each bus stop system has a code and our receiver circuitry can be fed with as well a edited of existing bus stop names using a RF tag (RF transmitter). Each RF tag constantly transmits a unique bus stop code. When the bus comes in range of a bus stop the code is picked up bus system and it automatically feeds in to controller. the controller process this information to find out the name of corresponding bus stop and speaker to provider an automated Arduino based speaking bus stop indicator system.

Adsorbent Material from Grafting Polymethylacrylate unto Methylcellulose from Elephant (Napier) Grass Cellulose

Alex O. Akinsanoye, Mopelola A. Omotoso, Elizabeth A. Ogunlana July 2020 Page No.: 49-55

The study examined the potential of elephant (Napier) grass cellulose in producing useful adsorbents that are biodegradable. Cellulose fibers were extracted from elephant grass fibers by chemical process. This was methylated into methylcellulose. Methylacrylate(MA) was also polymerized to polymethylacrylate (PMA). This was copolymerized with methylcellulose to form a PMA-graft methyl cellulose copolymer. The polymerization was carried out using acidified KMnO₄ as initiator. All polymerization reactions were done in a batch reactor at 90^oC under inert condition. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H-NMR) were used to characterize the methylcellulose, PMA and the copolymer. The percentage of the PMA formed is 27.8%. The copolymer grafted percentage was 43.3% while the grafting efficiency was 72.2%. The prominent bands in the FTIR spectrum of the cellulose are 1080.02cm^-1confirming the presence of C-O-C bond and 3347.00cm^-1confirming sharp and strong O-H peak. The methylcellulose showed a broad O-H peak at 3431.98cm^-1 and a C-O peak at 1081.10cm^-1 to confirm methylation. The MA showed an important IR band at 1737.14cm^-1 to confirm C=O bond. Its PMA showed similar peak at 1747.37cm^-1. The copolymer showed an important IR peak at 3446.24cm^-1 confirming O-H stretch in the copolymer. ¹H-NMR studies confirms H₂C-O at 3.62ppm in the methylcellulose, allylic proton at 1.98ppm and alpha carbonyl proton at 3.42ppm in the PMA. The peak at 12.42ppm is due to CO₂H group and it’s the novel peak found in the copolymer. It is an evidence that grafting occurred between PMA and the methylcellulose backbone. The result showed that Napier grass has potential for industrial production of cellulose fibers that can be modified into useful adsorbents.

Acceptability and Nutrient Composition of Multiple Blend Fruity Creams

Mustapha, R.A., Amodu, S.O., Olatunji, C.A. July 2020 Page No.: 56-59

The acceptability and nutrient composition of multiple blend fruity creams were investigated. Pineapple, pawpaw, watermelon, apple and banana blends were formulated into four samples of varied ratio of fruit components. Proximate, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer(AAS) and organoleptic analysis was used to determined nutrients and acceptability of the samples. Results shows that titrable acidity ranged from 0.03 to 0.16 while their P^H ranged from 4.32 to 4.59, total soluble solids ranged between 12.33 to 15.00, specific gravity from 0.79 to 0.97, Ash from 0.18% to 0.49% and vitamin C contents ranged from 50.70 to 55.70mg/100g. The samples were relatively low in protein fat and zinc but high in iron, calcium and magnesium. Samples subjected to sensory evaluation revealed that there were no significant difference(p<0.05) among the multiple blend fruity cream samples with respect to colour, taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability. Sample with the highest pineapple was the most accepted. Multiple blend fruity cream will go a long way to prevent scurvy, constipation and overweight and also serve as a substitute to milk-based ice cream.

Comparison of Technical Efficiency across Scale of Paddy Processing in Adamawa State, Nigeria

Gabdo, B. H., Ntasimda, S., Madu, U. A. July 2020 Page No.: 71-78

This study analyzes technical efficiency across small, medium and large scale paddy processors in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling techniques was employed to select one hundred and sixty respondents with the aid of well-structured questionnaire. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to analyze the data collected. On average, the large scale was adjudged the most efficient processors, then the medium scale, while the small scale was found to be the least efficient processors. Results further show the presence of both managerial and scale inefficiency in the small scale paddy processing, while the medium and large scale paddy processing both harbor only scale inefficiency with no evidence of managerial inefficiency. In terms of scale efficiency, on average, the small scale processors are more efficient, followed by the large scale processors, while the medium scale processors are the least efficient. The return to scale assumption indicates that 100% of the processors in both medium and large scale operate at increasing returns to scale, while in the small scale, 91% and 9% of the processors operates at increasing and decreasing returns to scale respectively. Up-scaling and down-scaling of paddy processing are recommended to curb the menace of scale inefficiency. On the other hand, good management practices such as choice of kernel size, ensuring maturity of kernels and imbibing modern parboiling skills among others will help curb the menace of managerial inefficiency. These remedial measures will together enhance frontier paddy processing in Adamawa State.

Modelling Apiculture Production in Adamawa State, Nigeria: The Ordinary Least Squares Technique

Gabdo, B. H. July 2020 Page No.: 79-83

The study adopted the famous Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) approach to model apiculture production in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The primary source method was employed for data collection from 108 apiarists in the state spread across the four agricultural zones in the state. The four OLS functional forms (Linear, Semilog, Exponential and Cobb-Douglas) were modelled as basis for selection of best fit on account of statistical, economic and econometric criteria. The apiculture data was adjudged normally distributed, free from heteroscedasticity, multi collinearity and autocorrelation, but, with model misspecification issue. The Cobb-Douglas model was adjudged the best fit owing to significance of all variables with respective apriori expected signs, highest R2 = 92%, lowest RMSE = 0.286, AIC = 41.12 and BIC = 54.53. The study shows that labor, hives, farm distance and other costs adjudged significant variables affecting the production of honey. Together, they account for 92% of the variation in honey production. The study recommends timely and judicious utilization of resources for optimal honey yield in the area.

Activity Concentration Levels of Natural Radionuclides in the Sediment Samples from Rosterman Gold Mine, Lurambi Sub – County, Kakamega County, Kenya

Conrad Khisa Wanyama, Fred Wekesa Masinde, John Wanjala Makokha July 2020 Page No.: 84-87

Rosterman, located in Lurambi sub – county, Kakamega County, Western Kenya consists of gold mining that is done locally (artisanal gold mining). The activity concentration of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K in sediment samples from the wastes of gold mining were determined by gamma ray spectrometry using NaI (Tl) detector and decomposition of measured gamma-spectra. As a measure of radiation hazard to the general population, gamma radiation dose rates were also evaluated. The average activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K were 85±2.24, 114±5.78and 260±12.18Bqkg^-1, respectively. The mean absorbed dose rate in air was 52.5±4.2nGyh^-1 while the annual average effective dose rate for indoor and outdoor were 0.4±0.02 and 0.3±0.01mSvy^-1 respectively. The absorbed dose rate due to gamma radiation from naturally occurring radioactive materials was below the global average value of 60 nGyh^-1. Hence, mining of gold at Rosterman has minimal hazardous health implication to the general public.

Environmental Regulations in Nigeria: A Lesson from United Kingdom

Benson Polycarp, Bashayi Obadiah, Ebuga Emmanuel Attah July 2020 Page No.: 88-93

Environmental regulation is seen as an imposition of limitations or tasks on individuals, corporations and other entities for the purpose of preventing environmental damage or improving degraded environment. The paper is a reviewed work on environmental regulations in Nigeria and the possible lesson to be learnt from the United Kingdom experience. Methodology employed for this study is the used of secondary data which were sourced from textbooks, internet journals and environmental publications relevant to the reviewed work. Data were presented in form of figures or snapshots and table. The main observation has shown some level of changes in Nigeria regulatory nomenclature with little change in improves functions of the system. The paper has recommended among several issues that the regulatory body improve on information exchange and feedback mechanisms between the Regulatory Agency, the Industries and the Regulated Communities.

Optimum Dietary Crude Protein and Digestible Energy Requirements for fingerlings of Hybrid Clariid catfish Heterobranchus bidorsalis♀ X Clarias gariepinus♂ in the Tropics

B.S. Aliu, J.M. Olomu July 2020 Page No.: 94-99

This study was carried out to determine the optimum dietary crude protein and digestible energy requirements for the Heterobranchus bidorsalis♀ X Clarias gariepinus♂ fingerlings. The general objective of the study was to determine the optimum protein and digestible energy levels for the Clariid catfish fingerlings, Heterobranchus bidorsalis♀ X Clarias gariepinus♂, using locally sourced feed inputs. Heterobranchus bidorsalis♀ X Clarias gariepinus♂ fingerlings were reared from hatchlings to five weeks old. Sixteen practical diets were formulated and used in the feeding trials. The diets were made up of four digestible energy levels (2400, 2600, 2800 and 3000Kcal/Kg), each at four crude proteins levels (25, 30, 35 and 40%) and were fed to the fingerlings for 70days in three replicates for each treatment. Weekly data were collected based on weight gain and feed consumption. Feed and fish carcasses were analyzed for proximate composition of the fingerlings. All data collected were subjected to two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test at 5% probability level. The total weight gain of fingerlings increase in dietary protein levels at all energy levels used in the experiment. The increases were significant in all but one and which was that between 35% and 40% crude protein at the DE of 3000kg/kg diet. The highest total weight gain (148.84/4) was obtained in fish led with the diet containing 40% crude protein at digestible energy of 2400kcal/kg diet. The values obtained at 40% crude protein and DE of 2400kcal/kg diet were significantly different (P<0.05) from those obtained on all the other dietary protein and energy levels treatments. The lower protein levels (25 and 30%) resulted in very low weight gain. The trends in effects of dietary treatments on SGR, RGR and RWG were similar to those described for weight gain. At dietary protein levels of 35% and 40%, the amounts of feed consumed were significantly higher than those recorded at dietary protein levels of 25% and 30%. At DE of 2400 and 2800kcal/kg, the amounts of feed consumed by fish fed with the 35% crude protein diets were significantly lower than those of fish fed with the diet containing 40% crude protein. However, at DE of 2600 and 3000kcal/kg. FCR values increased with increase in dietary crude protein level and decreased with increase in dietary energy level with the exception of 2800kcal/kg diet while the PER Values decreased with increase in dietary protein levels. Protein intake increased with increases in protein level while protein intake decreased with increases in caloric intake.

A Conceptual of Supply Chain Management Distribution System to Minimize Leadtime and Distribution Fees in Retail Industry

Umi Marfuah, Mutmainah, Rina Nopianti July 2020 Page No.: 100-103

PT ABCD is a company engaged in retail in the form of shoe products. The study was conducted in August 2018 until January 2019 in the Logistics and distribution division. The problem that predominates in this division is the problem of delays in the distribution of goods because the distribution process is still done conventionally with improvised methods and human resources. In August 2018 the amount of costs incurred was Rp.1,766,725,193 and experienced an average increase of 4% every month. From the observational data, the leadtime achieved was still below the company’s target of 80%, the average delay percentage was 6% or 4926 koli from 74660 koli. With the Supply Chain Management distribution method, including the Crossdocking, Direct Shipment and Warehousing methods. By comparing the three methods the lowest leadtime is generated and simulating it, the right method for the company is obtained, namely the cross docking distribution method with the results of the fastest lead time calculation, which is 240 minutes faster than the other methods. And from the simulation a result also produced the same method with the achievement of 149.48 minutes lead time and has the smallest percentage of error values that is 38%.

Abuthaheer M, Santhosh K, Varun S, Yuvaraj Anthoni V, Anandkumar A July 2020 Page No.: 104-107

This system is aimed to prevent the road safety due to the alcohol consumption in driving. The driver condition is analysed by using alcohol sensor. If the driver is having the alcohol consumption during the driving the indicating system would intimate to them and then the vehicle speed limit is to be activated. The vehicle speed will be reduced by using l293d motor driver shield and the vehicle ignition system will turn off. After the stoppage of vehicle the system will send the vehicle latitude and longitude to the corresponding persons and nearby police station. By applying this method the road traffic should be safer than before.

Haastrup N.O, Ayodele A.A, Fadoyin, A.S, Sangotoyinbo, O.A, Olatunji, O.A and Agboje, I July 2020 Page No.: 108-111

The study investigated Perception toward Forest Resources Utilization among Enclaves in Onigambari Forest Reserve, Oyo State. Purposive sampling was used to select six villages around the reserve, representing 10% sampling intensity in the study area. A total of 356 questionnaires were administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. For the benefits of the forest to the community, 53%, 51%, 54% and 39% of Onigambari communities visited agreed to the fact that trees and other things from the forest are useful to human. A good number of interviewed people agreed that logging should be done twice a year. They believed that in doing this there will be sustainability of forest trees and balance in the logging process so as to allow for conservation (52%). 60% of the people quite agreed to the fact that conservation is needed for sustainability of the forest produce. 47% agreed that conserving the forest makes available lots of things needed for medicinal purpose; also 55% agreed that there is need for sensitization on the need for conserving the forest; 57% of the people that were administered the questionnaire do believe that the actions or inactions towards the forest can affect the forest negatively or positively, therefore, the need to do right by the forest is very crucial and important.

Evaluation of Toxicity Potentials of Heavy Metals in Camel Milk from Selected Farms in Yobe State, Nigeria

Hassan, U.F., Hassan, H.F., Baba, Haruna, Madaki, A.A., Hassan, H.F., Ibrahim, Inusa, Hassan, A.F., Muhammed, Sagir July 2020 Page No.: 112-116

The consumption of camel milk is gaining popularity due to its medicinal and dietary properties. Camel milk has also become the major requirement of daily diets, particulary among the vulnerable groups like the infants, school going children and the old persons. The concentrations as well as the toxicity potentials of some selected heavy metals were evaluated. The concentrations of heavy metals (Zn, Fe, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, Cd and Cr) in camel milk obtained from four different farms (Gaidam, Waro, Yusari and Yunusari of Yobe State, Nigeria) were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Technique. The levels (ppm) of zinc, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, lead, cadmium and chromium were respectively found to be in the range of 4.38 (Gaidam farm) to 4.88 (Waro farm), 0.20 (Waro farm) to 0.60 (Gaidam farm), 0.74 (Yunusari farm) to 1.34 (Waro farm), 0.02 (Gaidam and Waro farms) to 0.04 (Yunusari farm), 0.27 (Yunusari farm) to 0.80 (Waro farm), 0.02 (in all the four farms), 0.012 (Gaidam farm) to 0.018 (Yusari farm) and 0.013 (Yunusari farm) to 0.02 (Gaidam and Waro farms). Comparison of the observed values with permissible limits revealed that the values are less than or equal to their corresponding permissible limits. The observed toxicity potentials of all the heavy metals indicated values that are less than 1.00 in all the farms except in Gaidam and Waro farms where their corresponding chromium toxicity potentials are 1.00 in each case. The observed values were subjected to One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The variations in the levels of lead, cadmium and chromium were found to be statistically the same (P ≥ 0.05), whilst the variations in the levels of zinc, iron, copper, cobalt and nickel were statistically not the same (P less than 0.05). Based on the observed toxicity potentials, it is therefore evident that consumption of camel milk samples from all the farms is safe for human consumption.

Soret Effect on MHD Free Convection through a Porous Inclined Channel in the Presence of Thermal Radiation

Achogo, Wisdom Hezekiah, Adikabu, Ile Nwachukwu, Awortu, Ibifaa, Eleonu, Blessing Chikaodi July 2020 Page No.: 117-125

The theoretical examination of the effects of velocity, temperature, concentration parameter variations and magnetic fields on convective periodic flow was studied on an electrically conducting, viscous and incompressible fluid through a porous medium in an inclined plane. A set of coupled ordinary differential equations arising from the formulation of the problem were solved analytically by method of undetermined coefficient. The solution to the problem is obtained thereafter and with realistic parameter values the results were displayed in plots. The effects of parameter variations on velocity, concentration and temperature fields were discussed with the help of the plots. From the plots, the following results have been drawn; it is observed that increase in the Prandtl number decreases the temperature, increase in the Reynolds number decreases the temperature and concentration of the fluid, increase in the Schmidt number decreases the concentration making it more significant at the centre of the flow region, increase in permeability leads to increase in the velocity and increase in the magnetic field leads to decrease in the velocity, increase in Soret number increases both the concentration and velocity profiles.

Growth Response of Grower Rabbits (Oryctolagus Cunniculus) Fed Diets Containing Graded Levels of Anaerobically Fermented Cassava/Palm Kernel Meals

Uzohuo U., Akinlosoye J.J. July 2020 Page No.: 126-129

The study was conducted to evaluate the growth response of Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) fed diets containing varying levels of fermented cassava/ palm kernel meal. 80 grower Rabbits of a New Zealand white x dutch breed with average weight of 600g were assigned to five dietary treatment in a completely randomised design. The rabbits were of 5 groups of 16 rabbits; each replicate four times i.e. 4 rabbits per replicate and reared in indoor hutch of 1m x 1m x 0.6m for 56 days. Soyabean meal as a major protein source was gradually replaced in the diet with fermented cassava/palm kernel meal at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% respectively. In the control diet, there was no cassava/ palm kernel meal. Rabbit were fed ad-libtum for 56 days. The growth response and nutrient utilization were evaluated base on feed conversion ration (FCR), protein efficiency ration (PER), and specific growth rate (SGR) as parameters. The highest feed conversion ratio of 6.39 was obtained from test diet 5 (40%) while the least value of 4.1 was obtained from the control group, indicating that feed was better utilized by the rabbit fed the control diet (p<0.05). The least value for specific growth rate (0.54) was obtained from the Diets 5 (40%), while the value of 1.04 was recorded from control group (p<0.05). This research shows that fermented cassava/palm kernel meal can be included up to 20 % in ration of grower rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), without negative effect on growth performance.

Statistical Analysis of Time Series Model: Additive Case

Kelechukwu C.N Dozie, C.C Ibebuogu July 2020 Page No.: 130-136

The purpose of this paper is to examine the condition(s) under which the linear trend cycle component with emphasis on the additive time series model is the most appropriate model in time series analysis. This paper is to identify the series that admits additive model using the Buys-Ballot procedure. Also, to estimate missing observations by the method of mean imputation. Table 1 show that, the seasonal variance of Buys-Ballot table for additive model, is a function of trend parameters only but do not contain seasonal indices

Hameed Aderemi, Fabiyi Aderanti, Akanji Wasiu, Amosa Babalola July 2020 Page No.: 156-161

This study was undertaken to investigate the usage of the wireless network and monitoring of its bandwidth in Federal Polytechnic Ede, the study became paramount because of the need to ascertain the adequacy of the bandwidth for the Polytechnic community and to also confirm the purpose of usage by the users. Questionnaire and onsite observation are the major instruments used for data acquisition. The results show the uplink and downlink speed of the bandwidth in three different locations in the Polytechnic for three days. It also gives a comparative picture of the network usage among the academic and non-academic staff. The result will however assist the decision makers about the need to upgrade the bandwidth to meet the need of the Polytechnic and create more awareness of the availability of the benefits in the information superhighway.

Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) Under the Influence of Different Organic Fertilizers

Matthew Aluko, Abosede F. Kehinde-Fadare, Olufemi S. Oluwole July 2020 Page No.: 162-166

The desire for organic food products by consumers is on the increase due to its health benefits despite the higher cost of such food products. Therefore at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria, a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of five organic fertilizers; Moringa compost (MC), Tithonia compost (TC), fresh moringa leaf (FM), poultry manure (PM), and fresh Tithonia leaf (FT) on the growth and yield of okra in a randomized complete block design in five replications. Data on growth and yield parameters collected were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means separated using Turkey post-hoc test at 5% level of probability.. Although MC and PM gave a higher number of leaves (5.3), plant height (22.6 and 21.9 cm), and stem girth (2.8 and 2.9 cm), they did not differ significantly from other treatments. PM produced higher leaf area (173.9 cm²) which did not differ significantly from 162.3 cm² for MC. MC produced 1.3 number of flowers which was significantly higher than 0.9, 0.84, 0.8, 0.72, for PM, FT, FM and control respectively. Although MC produced higher number of fruit plant^-1 (1.8), PM gave the higher okra fruit weight fruit^-1 (0.19 kg) and fruit yield (1.20 t ha^-1). The five organic fertilizers used for okra production in this study produced significantly higher fruit yield than the control. However, MC and PM are recommended due to the significant increase in growth and yield components.

Composition and Optical Properties of Quaternary Alloy of PbCuSO4 Thin Films Prepared by Advanced SILAR Deposition Technique

J.I. Onwuemeka July 2020 Page No.: 167-170

PbCuSO₄ thin films were prepared by SILAR method on glass substrates using Pb(NO₃)₂and CuSO₄:5H₂O as the cationic precursors, hydrogen peroxide and thiourea as the anionic precursors and Triethanolamine (TEA) (C₆H₁₅NO₃) as the complexing agent. The samples were subjected to heat treatments at 100^oC , 150^oC, 200^oC, and 250^oC for 1hour. The samples were transparent and adherent to the substrates. The transmittance increases from 0.13 to 0.64 as the wavelength increases from 300nm to 1100nm for the samples as measured by UV 1800 series double beam spectrophotometer. The band gaps obtained under various thermal treatments are between 3.5 ±0.05eV to 3.75±0.05eV. The thickness for PC₁ is 386nm, PC₂ is 592nm, PC₃ is 403.29nm and PC₄ is 399nm. These properties of the material makes it suitable for applications in solar cells, gas sensor, thin absorber, aesthetic window, smart window antireflection coating.
