Produced water from samples A, B and C were obtained by spinning the crude samples using a Rotanta Petroleum Centrifuge set at 40\u00a0<sup>0<\/sup>C and 1500 rpm. 1 ml of the inoculum (produced water) from each of the crude samples was introduced into six inoculating test bottles containing saline solution of six different concentrations 10<sup>0<\/sup>, 10<sup>-1<\/sup>, 10<sup>-2<\/sup>, 10<sup>-3<\/sup>, 10<sup>-4<\/sup>, 10<sup>-5\u00a0<\/sup>g\/mol respectively with the aid of six syringes by serial dilution. The six inoculated test bottles were incubated in an incubator set at a temperature between 37 &#8211; 40\u00a0<sup>0<\/sup>C for 28 days with each bottle observed each day. The presence of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) was confirmed by the appearance of a black residue in each test bottle and the quantity of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) in colony forming unit is determined by the concentration of the inoculating medium the bacteria appeared. The lower the concentration of the inoculating medium, the higher the bacteria count in colony forming unit per mol (CFU\/mol). Results obtained showed that Sample A has a bacterial count of &lt;10 CFU\/mol, Sample B has a bacterial count between 100 \u2013 1000 CFU\/mol while Sample C has a bacterial count between 1 \u2013 10 CFU\/mol. Inoculation of SRB in crude oil samples is very important in determining the bacterial count in crude samples and this is critical in understanding the concentration and frequency of bactericides required in the treatment of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 05-10<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 16 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-11300481622\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-11300481622\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-639c0bb5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"639c0bb5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f3ce31 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6f3ce31\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2afa4053 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2afa4053\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Chikwe T.N.<\/strong><br \/>University of Port Harcourt, Petroleum and Environmental Chemistry Research Group Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, PMB 5323 Choba, Port Harcourt, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-11300481623\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-11300481623\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-4c3b463 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4c3b463\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-516eb43 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"516eb43\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44b2be38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44b2be38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1].

Earth on structures have been severely damaged by the earthquake. Thus, there has been loss of life and property. This has particularly affected countries located on active fault lines. Pre- and post-earthquake measures have been developed in world. For these reasons, it is necessary to determine the dynamic performance of structures around the world. There are various methods for determine the dynamic performance. System identification is one of these methods. Mathematical model of the structural system is obtained by system identification method. Fuzzy Logic can be a system identification method. It is known as fuzzy logic, an algorithm for the mathematical projection of the natural, in other words, human intelligence. In this study, steel model chimney and shaking table were used as material. Matlab software is used. In this study, it is aimed to estimate the output of steel model chimney with fuzzy logic. The output data of the steel chimney was first obtained on the shaking table and then the output data obtained with fuzzy logic were compared. As a result of the comparisons, it was observed that a nearly 100% compliance was achieved. In the light of all results, it is seen that fuzzy logic method will be useful in system identification method in civil engineering field.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 11-15<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 17 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-16849588522\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-16849588522\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-6f67c6c8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6f67c6c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4119cb4b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4119cb4b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2e5458 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2e5458\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Serta\u00e7 TUHTA<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Furkan G\u00dcNDAY<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Anas M.S.

Phytochemical and Proximate analysis were done according to the AOAC methods. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) was used to determine the mineral content while vitamins were determined spectrophotometrically using the standard method of AOAC. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of Flavonoids, alkaloids, Tannin, Saponin, Phytate, Haemaglutinnin, Oxalate, Cardiac glycosides and Phenol in the leaf extract of\u00a0<em>F. capensis<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>C. aconitifolius<\/em>. The proximate composition of the dried leaf of\u00a0<em>F.capensis<\/em>\u00a0was; moisture (11.35\u00b1 1.45 %), crude protein (10.85 \u00b1 0.31%), crude fibre (12.38 \u00b1 0.71%), crude fat (3.48\u00b10.01%), ash (6.37 \u00b1 0.30%) and carbohydrate (55.57 \u00b1 3.02%). On the other hand, that of\u00a0<em>C. aconitifolius<\/em>\u00a0was; moisture (11.35 \u00b1 0.30%), crude protein (10.85\u00b10.52%), crude fibre (12.38 \u00b1 0.02%), crude fat (3.48 \u00b1 0.02%) ash (6.37 \u00b1 0.09%) and carbohydrate (55.57 \u00b1 1.08%). Elemental analyses showed that\u00a0<em>C. aconitifolius<\/em>\u00a0had significantly higher (p&lt;0.05) levels of the elements (Cadmium, Arsenic, Fe, Pb, Cu, Na) when compared to\u00a0<em>F. capensis<\/em>. The leaf of\u00a0<em>C. aconitifolius<\/em>\u00a0was significantly higher in vitamins B<sub>1<\/sub>, B<sub>2<\/sub>, B<sub>3<\/sub>, B<sub>6<\/sub>, C, E and K (p&lt;0.05) when compared to that of\u00a0<em>F. capensis<\/em>. However,\u00a0<em>F. capensis<\/em>\u00a0leaf had higher vitamins B<sub>12\u00a0<\/sub>and D contents than\u00a0<em>C. aconitifolius<\/em>. \u00a0This study suggests that these two plants can serve as a good source of nutraceutical.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 16-21<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 18 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-15909846612\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-15909846612\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-45d558a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"45d558a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34c3b329 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"34c3b329\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54111ddd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54111ddd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ezeigwe Obiajulu Christian<\/strong><br \/>Department of Applied Biochemistry, Faculty of Biosciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Anambra State.

Literatures have shown that there is an ongoing effort(s) to identify the various groups of microbial contaminants within the plant cultures in mosttissue culture laboratories. Thus, this study has been designed to isolate, identify and classify the contaminating microbes at an Ibadan-based Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory. Established but contaminated cultures of different crop species were collected over a period of four weeks, from February 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0to 28<sup>th<\/sup>, 2019. And from these, isolation of pure microbial cultures was carried out based on their morphological differences and where colony form, elevation, pigmentation and size were used to distinguish bacteria and fungi contaminants. Also, specific microbes were further authenticated using differential and selective media and isolated fungi were identified using microscopic observations of size, and shape. The results showed that the contaminating microbes are of different types. Theacroscopic and microscopic observations of fungi confirmed presence of\u00a0<em>Cladosporium<\/em>\u00a0sp,\u00a0<em>Penicillium<\/em>\u00a0sp,\u00a0<em>Aspergillus<\/em>\u00a0sp and\u00a0<em>Alternaria<\/em>\u00a0sp while the persistent bacteria identified were\u00a0<em>Shigella\u00a0<\/em>sp,\u00a0<em>Pseudomonas<\/em><em>aeruginosa<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Corynebacteria<\/em>\u00a0sp,\u00a0<em>Bacillus<\/em>\u00a0sp and\u00a0<em>Staphylococci<\/em>\u00a0aureus. The contaminants were similar to standard strains but there was a significant difference in contamination. It is concluded that despite disinfection with sodium hypochlorite, the bacterial and fungal contaminants persist in micropropagation culture media and there is need to either increase the concentration of the disinfectant or change the disinfectant to a different one.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 22-26<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 21 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1924927912\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1924927912\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-497c15e9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"497c15e9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2287891c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2287891c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-527aed67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"527aed67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Adeye Joseph Ademola Oluwaferanmi<\/strong><br \/>Department of Pure and Applied Sciences, National Open University of Nigeria (Ibadan Study Centre)<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Afolayan Adedotun Onoyinka<\/strong><br \/>Department of Pure and Applied Sciences, National Open University of Nigeria (Ibadan Study Centre)<br \/>Tissue Culture Unit, Biotechnology Department, National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Moor Plantation, Apata, Ibadan, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Aladele Sunday Ezekiel<\/strong><br \/>Tissue Culture Unit, Biotechnology Department, National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Moor Plantation, Apata, Ibadan, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Jamaleddine Zainab Olubunmi<\/strong><br \/>Tissue Culture Unit, Biotechnology Department, National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Moor Plantation, Apata, Ibadan, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1924927913\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1924927913\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-113d8d14 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"113d8d14\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6976b933 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6976b933\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71eb17da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"71eb17da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Aitschul, F., Gish,B., Miller,W., Myers, E. &amp; Lipman.

The Permeability of the Deep offshore Niger Delta was estimated by analyzing thirty-five (35) samples from four wells; Well A, Well B, Well C and Well D. The samples were put in a Microtrac S3000 Laser Particle Size Analysis (LPSA) machine and core plugs were put in the Permeameter for Permeability estimation. The analyzed sample results were compared with the existing permeability models of the area. The wells were observed to have very good permeability ranging from 700mD to 5500mD. Comparing the results from the different methods of Permeability estimation, the Laser Particle Size Analysis machine was found to be the most precise given its inherent unbiased algorithms which neutralize any form of regional heterogeneity. Krumbein and Monk\u2019s, and Van Baaren\u2019s models correlates closely with measured permeability while Berg\u2019s proved inaccurate for prediction of permeability in this region. Reservoir Engineers and Petrophysicists interested in Offshore Niger Delta would find this work effective for more accurate permeability estimation.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 27-32<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 21 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-10538974122\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-10538974122\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-2cab6dfb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2cab6dfb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27b790d2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"27b790d2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46c87e8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46c87e8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Chinenye O.Mbonu<\/strong><br \/>Center for Petroleum Geosciences, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Nnamdi J.Ajah<\/strong><br \/>Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-10538974123\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-10538974123\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-51f89293 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"51f89293\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38761343 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"38761343\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-648b6431 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"648b6431\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Akinosho, T.

The two tea waste samples were carbonized at 160<sup>o<\/sup>C for one hour 10 mins. The properties evaluated were surface area, moisture content, pH, bulk density, pore volume, porosity, tortuocity, ash content, metal ions present.One way analysis of variance was done to known the level of significance. The results obtained from the analysis for green and lipton tea were surface area,\u00a0 (839m<sup>2<\/sup>\/g)\u00a0 and\u00a0 (711m<sup>2<\/sup>\/g), ash content, (57%) and\u00a0 (49.56%), moisture content,\u00a0 (38.53%) and (40.76%), pH, (6.0) and(6.0), bulk density, (0.303g\/cm<sup>3<\/sup>) and (0.312g\/cm<sup>3<\/sup>), porosity, (0.594) and\u00a0 (0.585), pore volume,\u00a0 (6.3) and\u00a0 (7.71), tortucity,\u00a0 (1.68) and\u00a0 (1.71) respectively. Thisstudy showed that green tea waste has better adsorptive capacity than lipton tea waste with a larger surface area, porosity, and ash content. The following heavy metals where tested for Lead (1.13576), Magnesium (0.62114) for green tea waste and Lead (0.82043), Magnesium (0.51931) for lipton tea using an electro-photo spectrometer. With these results, it was observed that the heavy metal content were insignificant in the adsorbents and they are good for such metal adsorption from waste water.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 33-37<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 21 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1900279552\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1900279552\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-cb67538 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cb67538\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fee096 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3fee096\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb19c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cdb19c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Evbuomwan B.O<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Boyle S .K<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1900279553\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1900279553\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-f7d9660 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f7d9660\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90d3a15 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"90d3a15\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd75333 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd75333\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Abdulsalam ( 2013) Application of used tea leaves for multi functions.Eur Acad Res 2(7):8660\u20138690<br \/>[2] Yang J, Qiu K (2011) Development of high surface area mesoporous activated carbons from herb residues.

This also brings about increase in waste generation, notably is also the corresponding increase in waste disposal sites. Hence, the urgent need to develop means of safe waste disposal. Engineered sanitary landfill are designed to be environmentally friendly on a long term. However, several salient considerations, starting from proper sitting must be taken to ensure that it means its purpose. This study is aimed at determination of appropriate landfill sites employing a multi criteria analysis. The study area falls within latitude 8\u00b044&#8217;6&#8221;N and 7\u00b059&#8217;40&#8221;N and Longitudes 4\u00b009&#8217;40&#8221;E and 5\u00b014\u20198&#8221;E all within the basement complex of Nigeria. Prescribed sites for appropriate landfill areas for Jimba, Ijagbo and Omu Aran were investigated using geophysics, geotechnical and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques as tools to aid the decision-making processes. The geoelectric sections displayed four lithological successions (top soil, latheritic clay, clayey soil and weathered to fresh basement). In the same light, Aeromagnetic survey lineament data indicate no major fault in the area. The particle size distribution curve showed presence of sandy CLAY (SC\/CL) and gravelly SAND (GP\/SP) soil in the area. The soils liquid limit ranges between 28% to 44%, while plasticity index ranged between 11% to 36%. The clay activity values range between 0.28 to 0.72, implying low hydraulic conductivity and non swelling. The Permeability coefficient test also ranged between 3.2&#215;10\u207b<sup>7<\/sup>cm\/s to 8.5&#215;10\u207b<sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0cms-<sup>1<\/sup>, within the 10<sup>-8<\/sup>\u00a0to 10<sup>-6<\/sup>\u00a0range required for natural leachate attenuation without potential of lateral migration of leachate. However, other geotechnical results such as compaction, CBR, firing and consolidation results met engineering characteristics of soil material. All sites investigated met environmental impact criteria for sanitary landfill except one site. An integration of IKONOS, geology, geophysics and geotechnical data were modelled with designed Environmental geo-spatial model builder in ArcGIS 10.3 environment using Analytic Hierarch Process (AHP)<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 38-49<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 22 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-682354022\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-682354022\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-d4e4636 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d4e4636\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0398e8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f0398e8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8928955 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8928955\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Akinrinmade, A.O<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, Kwara State University, Malate, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olasehinde, P.I.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geophysics, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Awojobi, M.O.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, Kwara State University, Malate, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olasehinde, D.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Agricultural and Biosytems Engineering, Landmark University, Kwara State, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ige, O.O.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olatunji, J.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, Kwara State University, Malate, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ibrahim, K.O<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-682354023\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-682354023\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-a3cacbb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a3cacbb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa10f90 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"aa10f90\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e34b6bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e34b6bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] UN Water, SDG 6 Synthesis Report 2018 on Water and Sanitation. 2018.<br \/>[2] I.

Earth on structures have been severely damaged by the earthquake. Thus, there has been loss of life and property. This has particularly affected countries located on active fault lines. Pre- and post-earthquake measures have been developed in world. For these reasons, it is necessary to determine the dynamic performance of structures around the world. There are various methods for determine the dynamic performance. System identification is one of these methods. Mathematical model of the structural system is obtained by system identification method. Fuzzy Logic can be a system identification method. It is known as fuzzy logic, an algorithm for the mathematical projection of the natural, in other words, human intelligence. In this study, steel model bridge was used as test subject. MATLAB software is used. In this study, it is aimed to estimate the output of steel model bridge with fuzzy logic. The output data of the model steel bridge was first obtained on the experimental modal analysis and then the output data obtained with fuzzy logic were compared. As a result of the comparisons, it was observed that a nearly 99% compliance was achieved. In the light of all results, it is seen that fuzzy logic method will be useful in system identification method in civil engineering field.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 50-54<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 22 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1565381302\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1565381302\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-f9fbe25 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f9fbe25\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00971d4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"00971d4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5aafe74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5aafe74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Serta\u00e7 TUHTA<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Furkan G\u00dcNDAY<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Hakan AYDIN<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1565381303\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1565381303\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-8e51e1a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8e51e1a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc75ee3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cc75ee3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f668096 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f668096\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Marquardt, D.

Earth on structures have been severely damaged by the earthquake. Thus, there has been loss of life and property. This has particularly affected countries located on active fault lines. Pre- and post-earthquake measures have been developed in world. For these reasons, it is necessary to determine the dynamic performance of structures around the world. There are various methods for determine the dynamic performance. System identification is one of these methods. Mathematical model of the structural system is obtained by system identification method. Genetic algorithms can be a system identification method. It is known as genetic algorithms, an algorithm for the mathematical projection of the natural, in other words, Genetic algorithms are a part of Artificial Intelligence. In this study, steel model bridge was used as test subject. MATLAB software is used. In this study, it is aimed to estimate the output of steel model bridge with genetic algorithms. As a result of study, it was observed that a nearly 99% compliance was achieved.SAE is %0.78548.In the light of all results, it is seen that genetic algorithms method will be useful in system identification method in civil engineering field.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 55-59<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 22 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2486733182\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2486733182\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-8125bb5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8125bb5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-962b11e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"962b11e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-678edce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"678edce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Serta\u00e7 TUHTA<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Furkan G\u00dcNDAY<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li>&#8216;<li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Hakan AYDIN<\/strong><br \/>Department of Civil Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2486733183\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2486733183\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-29526fb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"29526fb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3a4b37 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f3a4b37\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24ee39f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24ee39f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Marquardt, D.

In this research, the extraction and physicochemical characterization of the oil from\u00a0<em>Terminalia Mantaly<\/em>\u00a0was carried out. The seed oil of the plant was extracted using solvent (N-Hexane). Standard method was adopted to extract the seed oil of the plant. The parameters of seed oil\u00a0 determined include Physico-chemical properties such as; acid value 0.56 \u00a0mg KOH\/g, peroxide value 4 \u00a0mEq\/Kg, ester value 195.79 \u00a0mgKOH\/g, oil content 37 %, iodine value 53.30 \u00a0gI<sub>2<\/sub>\/100g, saponification value 196.35 \u00a0mgKOH\/g, moisture content 0.4, density 0.92 g\/ml, kinematic viscosity 4.80, specific gravity 1.08. These make the oil suitable for use in the industry except in the ink and paint industries because of its non drying property which is due to its low iodine value content.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 60-64<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 24 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-455525502\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-455525502\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-6fc717b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6fc717b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc47428 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bc47428\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de461fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de461fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Abubakar Abbas<\/strong><br \/>Chemistry Department, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Bauchi State 740001, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Auwal, A.

To achieve this laudable objective requires removal of drudgery associated with farming and improve productivity. This study compares the profitability and productivity of tractorised and non-tractorised maize farmers. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select eighty (80) maize farmers for the study. The result revealed that majority of the respondents was male. In addition, (85%) and (80%) of the tractorised and non-tractorised respectively have formal education. Based on their farm size majority (60%) of the manual farmers cultivated between 2.1-3.0 ha while (50%) of the tractorised cultivated between 4.1-5.0 ha. Furthermore, the net farm incomes for the tractorised and manual maize farmers were found to be N310, 100.00 and N 127,950.00 naira respectively. The total labour and capital productivity for the mechanized farmers were higher than that of their manual counterparts. Nevertheless, there were many constraints militating against the production of this staple food crop in the area, thus the respondents perceived inadequate capital as first(1st),poor producer price and high cost of inputs were ranked second (2nd) and third(3rd) respectively. In other to improve productivity and output the study recommends the need to subsidize the cost of acquiring farm machininaries especially tractors by the government, price control of farm inputs and provision of production loans to the maize farmers at low interest rate to facilitate speedy adoption of mechanization.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 65-71<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 24 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2040681852\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2040681852\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-1232916 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1232916\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27f6413 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"27f6413\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f766cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f766cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Usman, M.

The average GDP growth rate was 5.1% during the First National Development Plan, 8.2% under the Second and 5.0% under the Third which individually exceed the almost 4% average in the pre-independence era. In the same vein the growth rate of capital formation (investment ratio) rose from an average of 14.1% under the First Plan to 26.7% in the Third. This far exceeded the 12.3% average for the pre-independence decade. The eras of the rolling plans and the democratic dispensation were the period unemployment became visible. The main policy lesson to be gleaned from the foregoing discussion is the fact that the worsening incidence of unemployment scenario in Nigeria cannot be entirely attributed to policy failures and ineffectiveness of the employment oriented programmes that were mainstreamed in the successive development plans but to the generality of the entire development plans. What is of fundamental importance at the moment is the adoption of sound monetary and fiscal measures and political will that will engender employment generation in Nigeria. The paper recommends a multi-sector approach to planning and implementation of public sector programmes, and harmonization of planning initiatives in order to reduce the problem associated with plan implementation.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 72-79<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 24 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2369003092\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2369003092\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-87d2158 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"87d2158\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-320f865 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"320f865\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-884fc67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"884fc67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Dzever, D.

A densified agricultural soil has lost its nutrients availability to plants. Thus the study is on modelling the tolerance of Okra\u00a0<em>(Abelmoschus esculentus L.)\u00a0<\/em>to soil densification under varying degrees of tractor passes on the sandy loam soil. The research was conducted at the Rivers Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, South-South, Nigeria. The plot of area 46m by 36m was cleared of grasses, debris and stumps. The soil samples were randomly collected for soil tests before and after tillage operations such as ploughing and harrowing + harrowing which were carried out respectively. The land space was marked out into randomized complete block design of four replicates compacted at i = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 passes per replicate of which there were twenty subplots altogether with a SWARAJ 978 FE Tractor Model used for the compaction routines. A duly certified Okra seeds bought from the Government of the Rivers State Ministry of Agriculture, Crop Department with minimum percentage germination and purity of 85% and 99% were sown by placing 3 seeds per hole at a considerable depth of about 0.03m beneath soil surface, with inter-row and intra-row spacing of 0.6m by 0.6m and a 4m by 4m alley dimension which was marked out to separate each subplot from the other. The seedlings were later thinned to two Okra plants per stand at two weeks after emergence. The data obtained were employed in model development. A mathematical model equation (\u03b3<sub>p<\/sub><\/strong><strong>)<sub>i\u00a0<sup>=\u00a0 \u03c6((\u03c9 \u0307<\/sup>p<sup>\u00a0)<\/sup>i<sup>\u00a0 \u221a((\u03c1<\/sup>d<sup>\u00a0)<\/sup>i<sup>\u00a0(CI)<\/sup>i<sup>\u00a0))\/D<\/sup>c<\/sub>+ C<sub>1<\/sub>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>was developed based on Buckingham pi theorem using dimensional analysis to predict tolerance of Okra yield under soil compaction. A\u00a0 Least Square estimation to depict<\/strong><strong>, the constant of proportionality of the modelled equation was estimated at 4 x 10<sup>6\u00a0<\/sup>and C<sub>1<\/sub>= 3 x 10<sup>-5<\/sup>.\u00a0 The model obtained was verified and validated using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test to determine if there were significant differences between the experimented and predicted values of Okra yield measurements. It was clear evident after the tested modelled equation that there was an approximately closed agreement between the experimented and modelled values of Okra yield in tolerance to soil compaction at varying tractor passes in different subplots.\u00a0 Hence, it was suggested that the model be used for Okra yield prediction in a densified soil.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 80-92<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 28 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1123696062\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1123696062\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-2df42f2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2df42f2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03a1959 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"03a1959\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-614eb89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"614eb89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Silas O.

Ethanol was used as solvent for extraction, after which differential fractionization was carried out using distilled water, ethyl acetate and\u00a0<em>n-<\/em>butanol. The limittest at 5000 mg\/kg of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidelines were used for the study. \u00a0In the acute toxicological investigation<em>,\u00a0<\/em>there was no mortality in the experimental animals after orally administering the fractions of\u00a0<em>C. molle\u00a0<\/em>5000 mg\/kg indicating that the LD<sub>50<\/sub>\u00a0was above 5000 mg\/kg. There was no histological alterations or changes at the extract dose of 5000 mg\/kg body weight in the kidney organs of rats in the control group, but all the other organs from the fractions tested displayed certain observed alterations. Tubular vacuolation (TVN), Lymphocyte hyperplasia (LH), Glomerular necrosis (GN), Plaques formation (P), Tubular necrosis (TN) and Tubular distortions (TD) were observed in the kidneys. There was no histological alterations or changes at the extract dose of 5000 mg\/kg body weight in the internal organs of rats in the control group and in the liver of group VI, but all the other organs from the fractions tested displayed certain observed alterations. Vascular congestion (VC), vascular congestion with slight necrosis (VCN) and hepatocellular necrosis (HN) were observed in the livers of all the groups administered the fractions.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 93-99<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 29 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1224785902\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1224785902\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-006adc7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"006adc7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51f0e32 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"51f0e32\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c02dc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c02dc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>D.

However the condition that the mean and variance of Poisson are equal poses a great constraints. Data on road traffic crashes from Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Ekiti state Nigeria were analyzed using R software package. The result from the three existing model were compared using AIC, BIC and Deviance, with Generalized negative binomial showing an AIC value of 414.79 and BIC value of 490.8873 and negative binomial showing AIC value of 476.8 and BIC value of 495.59 and Poisson regression showing AIC value of 587.312 and BIC value of 589.321.Having shown a smaller value of AIC and BIC, Generalized negative binomial regression was consider a better model when analyzing road traffic crashes in Ekiti State Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 100-105<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 29 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-148636892\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-148636892\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-37c3de7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"37c3de7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42c5bb2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"42c5bb2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fc3c4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fc3c4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Odukoya Elijah Ayooluwa<\/strong><br \/>Department of Statistics, Ekiti State University, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olubiyi Adenike Oluwafumilola<\/strong><br \/>Department of Statistics, Ekiti State University, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-148636893\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-148636893\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-f95f276 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f95f276\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2db624 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d2db624\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcae4da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fcae4da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Akaike, H.

The biochemical cascade of cancer metastasis flows through a sequence of events involving loss of cellular adhesion, increased motility and invasiveness, entry and survival in the circulation, exit into new tissue (extravasation), and eventual colonization of a distant site. Evasion of the inherent mechanisms halting transformed cells from primary site disseminating to colonize at the secondary or distant site is the hallmark of metastasis. However, metastasis is not an efficient process as most transformed cells (cancer cells) leaving the primary site do not metastasize to distant organs. The all-out inefficiency in metastatic processes are due to myriads of inherent biophysiological homeostatic mechanisms recruited against metastatic cells which involves the switch-on mechanisms of metastatic suppressor genes (MSGs), programmed cell death, immunosurveillance system, angiogenic latency and tumour growth arrest, interstitial pressure, haemodynamic forces and sheering. Inability of all the metastasizing cells to escape, evade or co-opt multiple barriers refined by the inherent programmed homeostatic mechanisms delineate the central paradigm that cancer metastases is an inefficient process. The few transformed cells that successfully metastasize to distant organs leads to cancer death. The \u201cchameleon nature\u201d metastatic cells (evasion of apoptosis, sustained angiogenesis, self-sufficiency in growth signal, tissue invasion and metastasis, limitless potentials for replication, insensitive to antigrowth signal) remain one of the major challenges in the treatment of cancer patient as the development of a potent anti-cancer therapy specific for cancer cells without affecting normal cells (healthy bystander cells) still remains a \u201choly grail\u201d. However, a pellucid insight on the biomechanistic events delineating metastatic inefficiency will offer a new insight in developing a more potent therapy specific for malignant cells. This worked reviewed the biomechanistic events involved in metastatic inefficiency that may pave the way for researchers to uncover the critical areas in the development of a potent anti-cancer therapy.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 106-117<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 29 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2179899152\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2179899152\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-12f5e18 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"12f5e18\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98c1f36 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"98c1f36\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3177497 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3177497\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Idongesit Asuquo Victor<\/strong><br \/>Cancer Research and Molecular Biology Laboratories, Department of Biochemistry, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Opeyemi S.

This research aims at presenting characteristics of aquifers in parts of Ilorin municipality using evidences from hydrogeophysical data. Hydrogeophysical field data acquisition were done using Vertical Electrical Sounding and interpreted to infer aquifer characteristics and subsurface lithological succession. Three to six geo-electric layers were obtained across the study area. The curve types obtained were H, K, Q, HK and A. The dominant curve type is H-type which is considered to have three successive layers with resistivities \u03c11, \u03c12, \u03c13 and a central low value (\u03c11&gt;\u03c12&lt;\u03c13). Layer resistivities and thickness geo-electric parameters deducted include Transverse Resistance (T), Longitudinal Conductance (S), Coefficient of Anisotropy (\u03bb) and reflection coefficient (r). The values of transverse resistance (T) ranges between 297740.8 and 510 \u03a9m<sup>2<\/sup>. The highest values of total transverse unit resistance are observed around the northwestern and north eastern parts of the study area while the lowest value is obtainable in the southern and central parts. Longitudinal unit conductance values within the study area range between 2.157 and 0.07mhos. It is observed that 90% of the study area has a very high longitudinal unit conductance which implies a good aquifer protective capacity. The southeastern area has low values of longitudinal unit conductance. Coefficient of anisotropy (\u028e) values in the area varies between 3.8 and 1.02. A high value of coefficient of anisotropy is observed around central areas of the study area. This area is considered to be a good groundwater potential area. Reflection Coefficient(r)shows the degree of fracturing. It is expected that good aquiferous zones overburden are relatively thick with low reflection coefficient. Reflection coefficient values ranged between 0.91 and 0.02. The western and central part reflected thick overburden and fractured basement. Areas of high, medium and low groundwater potentials have been delineated. Ilorin is considered to be of medium or moderate in terms of groundwater potential.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 118-127<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 29 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2469099742\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2469099742\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-bdafafd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bdafafd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ddb55e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8ddb55e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00ee1a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00ee1a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olatunji, J.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Minerals &amp; Petroleum Resources Engineering Technology, Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Nigeria<br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences Kwara State University Malete, Ilorin, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Awojobi, M.O.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Landmark University, Kwara State, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olasehinde, D.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Landmark University, Kwara State, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Akinrinmade, O.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences Kwara State University Malete, Ilorin, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olasehinde, P.I.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Geophysics, University of Ilorin, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2469099743\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2469099743\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-18e7092 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"18e7092\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1716141 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1716141\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8435211 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8435211\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] O.

Being an aseptic procedure, it often helps to overcome constraints related with availability of both high-quality planting material and non-contaminated food production. The different yield of agronomic crops resulting from the contemporary agriculture practices, are often contaminated with pollutants such as heavy metals; especially during the course of their cultivation and occasionally during post-harvest processing procedures. Dioscorea sp. (Yam) is an important staple food in Nigeria with many health benefits but the presence of such noxious contaminants as heavy metals in its tubers and products renders its consumption highly detrimental to the health of its different consumers particularly human. This study was designed to conduct a comparative assessment of selected heavy metals concentrations in the dry tubers and powders originating from tissue culture hardened D. rotundata and D. alata with their respective market samples. Samples of tubers originating from yield of hardened in vitro propagated of D. rotundata and D. alata were collected from an Ibadan based Tissue Culture laboratory over a period of 28 days. Also, samples of the retailed dry tubers of both yam species were purchased concurrently from two renowned markets in Ibadan for comparison. These yam samples were all subjected to digestion and heavy metal analysis using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) to determine the levels of Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni in the digestates. The results obtained were also analyzed using XLSTAT analytical tool while pollution load indices and contamination factor were calculated. The results obtained showed that the levels of Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni in the dry tubers of in vitro yam samples (Cr=Ni=Pb=Cd; Cr = 0.000 mg\/l) were significantly less than (p&lt;0.005) those purchased from the two markets (Cr&gt;Ni&gt;Pb=Cd; Cr = 0.018\u00b1 0.025 &#8211; 0.030\u00b1 0.037 mg\/l). Yam cultivation via micro-propagation and screen-house environments prevent undue exposure of the resulting tubers to heavy metal toxicity and as such reduces human exposure to heavy metal contaminated foodstuffs.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 128-135<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 30 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1074470752\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1074470752\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-629e7cf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"629e7cf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-101e8bd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"101e8bd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-202062a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"202062a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>ADEGOKE Adeola Florence<\/strong><br \/>Adegoke Adeola Florence is a graduate of Biology from National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Ibadan Study Centre, Ibadan, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>AFOLAYAN Adedotun Onoyinka<\/strong><br \/>Afolayan Adedotun Onoyinka is currently the Head of Tissue Culture Unit of National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Apata, Ibadan, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1074470753\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1074470753\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-ecc8f5b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ecc8f5b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6724b20 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6724b20\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe9afdf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe9afdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Oves M, Saghir, Khan M, Huda Qari A, Nadeen Felemban M and Almeelbi T (2016) Heavy metals: Biological importance and Detoxification strategies.

The results show that saturation term has an appreciable effect than disease induced death on the epidemic model.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 136-139<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 31 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2565222292\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2565222292\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-61c78cd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"61c78cd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60e1f00 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60e1f00\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b609696 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b609696\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Kolawole, M.K.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Mathematical Sciences, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ogundeji, O.

The model was validated to see whether the model conforms to reality or not. However, the optimization result showed that there is no specific body weight that could be called a maximum or minimum. Emphasis was laid mainly on a particular proportion of Nigerians from the north-east geopolitical zone (as a case study) in order to be able to make generalizations about the entire country and beyond. Hence, the population sample for the research was the Taraba state of Nigeria\u2019s community. Moreover, several recommendations were made at the end of the model analysis, each when adhered to would bring about some medical breakthroughs to the entire human populace.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 140-146<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 31 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-89721822\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-89721822\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-c0776cd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c0776cd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46c3cf0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"46c3cf0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd10d0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd10d0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ogwumu, O.D.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Federal University Wukari, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ogofotha M.

Theorems were also used to prove the disease free and endemic equilibria with Local and Global Stabilities. Numerical Simulation of the effect of the sociological and psychological parameters or other mechanisms was done for both human and vectors using Runge-Kutta of order 4 method. Our results reveal that for proper treatment and eradication of malaria, saturation term and other factors cannot be over emphasized.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 147-151<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 31 January 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-29443242\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-29443242\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-9d71da3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9d71da3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7072a88 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7072a88\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76ed9d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76ed9d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Kolawole, M.K.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Mathematical Sciences, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Adeniyi, A.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Mathematical Sciences, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-29443243\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-29443243\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-d9c9cdb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d9c9cdb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-665ed79 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"665ed79\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07200b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07200b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Mojeeb Al-Rahman, El-Nor Osman and Isaac KwasiAdu (2017):Simple Mathematical Model for Malaria Transmission.

The velocity was maintained at a constant value and the flow was subject to a transverse magnetic field. The computed values obtained from the analytical solution for the velocity temperature, concentration field, skin friction coefficient, Peclet number, Schmidt and Reynolds number with their amplitude and phase are presented graphically. After a suitable transformation of the governing partial differential equations was transformed to ordinary differential equation. These equations were solved analytically by using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. The velocity decreases with increase in Peclet number, the magnetic field parameter whereas reverse trend is seen with increasing the heat generation parameter, radiation parameter, porous parameters, soret number and Grashof numbers. The temperature decreases as the values of Peclet number increases and the reverse is seen by increasing the values of thermal radiation parameter, heat source parameter, the concentration increases as the values of the Peclet number increases, despite increase in radiation and Grashof number, heat transfer remains the same.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 152-166<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 01 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1008499992\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1008499992\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-5613384 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5613384\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79409ae e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"79409ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb50fdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cb50fdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Blessing Chikaodi Eleonu<\/strong><br \/>Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Mathematics\/Statistics, Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola , Port Harcourt, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1008499993\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1008499993\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-f610968 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f610968\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29c0302 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"29c0302\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aada72e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aada72e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Ahmed, S.

It further explains the methods of solving a linear differential equation using the separation of variables and integrating factor which produce the same general solution with the applications as in relation to the field of science and engineering. We have used the analytical method to predict the population size over a long period of time. Through the theory which states that over a long period of time, as the independent variables t\u2192\u221e, the population size will saturate and approach the steady-state value. The results obtained in these are fully presented and discussed.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 167-173<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 01 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2506271412\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2506271412\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-c0d24c8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c0d24c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8554d8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f8554d8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14a3745 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14a3745\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Blessing Chikaodi Eleonu<\/strong><br \/>Department of Statistics, Port Harcourt Polytechnic, Rumuola, Port Harcourt, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2506271413\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2506271413\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-a39fac9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a39fac9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c98ce0f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c98ce0f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d28b3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d28b3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Arthur, M. and MIT (2003).

The proximate and the antinutritional composition of the results obtained for the fermented iru and soyiru are as follows: Fibre (9.8 and 12.26%), Fat (19.6 and 13.62%), Moisture (11.24 and 8.6%), Protein (32.2 and 44.70%), Ash (2.6 and 3.69%) and Carbohydrate (24.56 and 20.82%). The anti-nutrient results showed that tannin ranged from (2.3 and 0.66g\/100g), phytate (5.96 and 12.62g\/100g), oxalate (3.46 and 1.081g\/100g), flavonoids (6.09 and 2.09g\/100g) and saponin (1.69 and 1.23g\/100g) for the iru and soyiru respectively.

Under-nutrition in Nigeria is mainly due to poverty, inadequate energy intake as well as protein and micronutrients owing to poor nutrition education. Animal and animal products are very expensive as source of nutrients in developing countries . Discovery of alternative protein sources is a major need in Africa and Nigeria in particular. The food seeds rich in protein particularly legumes could effectively reduce the level of malnutrition. This research, seeks to\u00a0 evaluate the nutritional and anti-nutritional characteristics of the Leaves of the\u00a0<em>Terminalia Catappa<\/em>. Standard method was adopted to extract the leaves of the plant. The parameters \u00a0determined includes anti nutritional values such as oxalate \u00a0\u00a01.50 \u00b1 0.01 mg\/100g, phytate \u00a00.45 \u00b1 0.00 mg\/100g and hydrogen cyanide 1.10 \u00b1 0.01 mg\/100g. and proximate analysis was used to determined the parameters such as \u00a0ash content 1.2 %, crude protein 0.2%, lipid 40.2%, crude fibre 10.3%,\u00a0 moisture 8.7 %, carbohydrate 39.4%\u00a0 and food energy 520 g\/cal. The results indicated that the leaves were very high in carbohydrate, fat, but low in protein, and ash contents with moderate crude fiber levels. This indicates that it could be a good source of oil, carbohydrate.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 177-180<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 02 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-943378442\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-943378442\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-4daa0ac e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4daa0ac\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32e1ece e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"32e1ece\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf1f9f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf1f9f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Mahmoud A.A.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, Abuakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Ahmed W.<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, Abuakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Abubakar A<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, Abuakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Salim Y<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, Abuakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-943378443\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-943378443\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-9817f2c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9817f2c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a79550 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2a79550\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-620dc43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"620dc43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Agbaire,P.O.(2011).

In this study, phosphorylation of potato starch was carried out to determine the effect of phosphorylation on solubility and absorbency. Native potato starch was phosphorylated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at different percentage. The samples were characterized using FT-IR and SEM analyses. The FT-IR result shows a shift in absorption peak from 1342cm-1 in native starch to 1368cm-1 in the modified product due to the presence of phosphate group. While the SEM analyses shows an irregular oval shapes with smooth surface of different sizes in the native starch and rough surfaces as a result of disruption of ovular shapes. The native starch appeared to be insoluble in all the solvents used, while the phosphorylated starch tend to be slightly soluble in some of the solvents used. Water absorbency initially increases with increase in the phosphate groups present on the starch backbone, however, with more phosphate groups on the backbone (\u226525% STPP), there is a noticeable decrease in the absorbency.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 181-185<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 07 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1885833922\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1885833922\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-98a5bb3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"98a5bb3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1779efb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1779efb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-082f310 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"082f310\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Aliyu Danmusa Mohammed<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, Umaru Musa Yar\u2019adua University, PMB 2218, Katsina, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Abdullah Musa Abdu<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, Umaru Musa Yar\u2019adua University, PMB 2218, Katsina, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1885833923\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1885833923\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-8f86c92 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8f86c92\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa65aef e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fa65aef\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3883a09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3883a09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Eliasson AC, (2004) Starch in food woodhead, Pub.

Thirty six banana and plantain genotypes, comprising 6 2x and 6 4x parental clones, 6 2x hand pollinated and, 6 2x open pollinated progenies, 6 4x hand pollinated progenies and 6 4x open pollinated progenies were planted using a randomised complete block design with two replications of six plants per genotype. Data collected were total number of leaves produced, number of standing leaves at flowering, number of youngest leaf showing necrotic spots due to black sigatoka disease at flowering, plant height, plant girth, height of tallest following sucker; bunch weight, number of hands per bunch, number of fingers per bunch and yield. Leaf Retention Index (LRI) and Black Sigatoka Index (BSI) were estimated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means compared by LSD test at P \u2265 0.05. There were significant differences (P &gt; 0.05) in total number of leaves, number of standing leaves, number of youngest leaf showing necrotic spots, plant height, plant girth, height of tallest following sucker; bunch weight, number of hands per bunch, number of fingers per bunch and yield by some 2x and 4x parental clones and one or other of their progenies. In tetraploids, plant height was significantly associated with BSI (r = 0.502*), height of tallest following sucker (r = 0.534*), bunch weight (r = 0.551*) and yield (r = 0.477*). The diploids TMB2x 8084-2OP and TMB2x 8084-2HP showed potential of being good black sigatoka resistant genotype whereas high yielding tetraploids with good black sigatoka resistance were parental clones TMP4x 7002-1CL, TMP4x 1658-4CL and TMP4x 7152-2CL.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 186-193<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 09 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1615319382\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1615319382\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-cd6662e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cd6662e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7984a3c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7984a3c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1a74e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a1a74e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Victoria WILSON<\/strong><br \/>Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Rivers State University, PMB 5080, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Abdou TENKOUANO<\/strong><br \/>Executive Director of CORAF \/West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development, Dakar Senegal<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1615319383\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1615319383\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-850d2ab e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"850d2ab\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68d2949 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"68d2949\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abf6e68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abf6e68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Castelan, F.P., Saraiva, L.A., Lange, F., de Lapeyre de Bellaire, L., Cordenunsi, B.R., Chillet, M.,.

Hence, this study examined the relationship between Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and Membership Commitment to savings and credit cooperative societies in Anambra State. The work was anchored on Organizational Support Theory (OST). The population of the study was 559 and the sample size was 233 arrived at using Taro Yamani formula. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire while the analysis was carried out using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient at 5% level of significance. The result indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between Skill Development Programs and Members Affective Commitment to savings and credit cooperative societies in Anambra State (r = .922 p-value &lt; 0.05). It was concluded that perceived organizational support (POS) has a statistically significant relationship with membership commitment to savings and credit cooperative societies in Anambra State. Hence, it was recommended that the savings and credit cooperative societies in Anambra State should look into designing skill acquisition programs through conferences, seminars and workshops as this will increase the knowledge, skills and abilities of the members and make them more committed to the cooperatives.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 194-201<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 09 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2039850952\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2039850952\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-579677d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"579677d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f55301 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8f55301\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21e1e1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21e1e1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Gerald Emejulu<\/strong><br \/>Department of Cooperative Economics and Management, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Blessing Mary Ejumah<\/strong><br \/>Department of Cooperative Economics and Management, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2039850953\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2039850953\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-a8aef40 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a8aef40\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a15ebc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6a15ebc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d04e89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8d04e89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Adedayo, A. &amp; Yusuf, R.

The weighted arithmetic water quality index was calculated by combination of the required physicochemical parameters which are, pH, temperature, E.C, turbidity, T.D.S, T.SS, T.H, BOD, DO, alkalinity, sulphate, nitrate, and chloride. The River was sampled monthly from January 2017 to June 2017 and parameters analyzed according to APHA standard methods. The mean values for temperature from April to June ranging from 30.3 to 32.1 is higher than the permissible limit recommended by WHO thereby making Ajali River slightly polluted. Also, D.O. mean values 7.47, 7.01, and 5.17 for January, February and March respectively were all higher than the WHO recommended standard values. Except the above mentioned parameters, the mean values of all parameters tested were within the WHO recommended standard limits. The overall water quality index values are 38.566, 43.755, 57.7, 59.80, 60.55, and 62.39 for January, February, March, April, May, and June respectively. These values show that water is least deteriorated in the months of January and February signifying a grade of B which is good and highly deteriorated as the months progress with a grade of C which is poor. The result of the analysis showed that the river gets polluted as the rainy season approaches and the water thus is not safe for drinking and domestic use. It is recommended that effective treatment measures should be applied to augment the river water quality.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 202-209<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 09 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1966324462\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1966324462\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-4820398 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4820398\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cded414 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cded414\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95f0242 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95f0242\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Gerald Emejulu<\/strong><br \/>Department of Cooperative Economics and Management, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Blessing Mary Ejumah<\/strong><br \/>Department of Cooperative Economics and Management, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1966324463\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1966324463\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-320720d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"320720d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-913d446 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"913d446\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04fca74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04fca74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Addo, M.A., Okley, G.M., Affum, H.A., Acquah, S., Gbadageo, L.K. and Senu, J.K.

In this study, acid hydrolysis using dilute sulfuric acid was adopted for liquefaction of the biomass under different conditions. Experimental parameters such as acid concentration (0.4 %w\/v, 0.6 %w\/v and 4 %w\/v), particle size (1.11\u03bcm, 1.14 \u03bcm and 1.17 \u03bcm), reaction temperature (80 0C, 100 0C and 120 0C) and contact time (45 min, 60 min and 120 min) were varied in order to establish the best hydrolysis conditions for the release of sugars as well as conditions under which emergence of sugar degradation products (furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were minimal. The concentration of the monomeric sugars at each run of the hydrolysis was evaluated using a dual wavelength Uv-visible spectrophotometer. The effects of the hydrolysis on surface morphology and structural composition of the pre-hydrolysed and post-hydrolysed biomass were monitored using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transformed Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrophotometer. From the hydrolysis experiments, the optimal reaction conditions for quantitative recovery of xylose, glucose and arabinose were obtained with 4 %w\/v sulfuric acid, 120 0C, reaction temperature, 2 h reaction time and 1.11 \u03bcm particle size of the biomass. The hydrolysate was fermented for ethanol production using in-house yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisea) generated from waste fruits. The FTIR spectrum of the fermented liquor showed the product obtained was an alcohol. The result of this study showed corn cob as a promising feed stock for biofuel production.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 218-225<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 11 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2412944012\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2412944012\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-4964e14 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4964e14\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a849591 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a849591\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05e145c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05e145c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Adejoju Omodolapo Adedara<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, School of Sciences, The Federal University of Technology, PMB 704,Akure, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Olayinka Helen Ogunsuyi<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemistry, School of Sciences, The Federal University of Technology, PMB 704,Akure, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Satyavolu Jagannadh<\/strong><br \/>Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research, University of Louisville, Louisville, USA<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2412944013\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2412944013\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-1b28236 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1b28236\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35c0b85 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"35c0b85\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b330333 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b330333\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] A.O.A.C., (2001).

The purity of the complexes was monitored and analyze using TLC, Melting point, Conductivity measurement and Solubility test and the complexes were evaluated for antioxidant activity against 1,1-diphenylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical. All the complexes are of good yield, colored, air stable, non hygroscopic, non electrolyte and partially soluble in organic solvent but soluble in DMF. The statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA show that all the complexes are strong free radical scavengers compares to the parent ligands at all the concentration tested but Zn complex at 6.25 \u00b5g\/ml and 12.5 \u00b5g\/ml showed better scavenging activity than the standard Ascorbic Acid (VIT. C). The EC50 regressional output shows that complex of Zn is found to be more portent than the other investigated compounds. On the basis of the above described studies an octahedral geometry has been proposed for the complexes.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 226-231<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 12 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-703979992\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-703979992\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-2e721dc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2e721dc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8010da9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8010da9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e0cbc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e0cbc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Hassan B.

Four oil samples were obtained from Eric Field Off-shore Niger Delta Nigeria. The oils were studied by means of gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to obtain information on origin, occurrence, environment of deposition and thermal maturity. The thermal maturity parameter calculated from GC\/GC-MS analysis ranges from Ts\/Ts+Tm (0.42-0.17), C<sub>31<\/sub>22S\/C<sub>31<\/sub>22S+22R (0.51-0.53), C<sub>31<\/sub>\/C<sub>32<\/sub>-C<sub>34<\/sub>\u00a0and C<sub>30<\/sub>Ol\/C<sub>30<\/sub>Ol+C<sub>30<\/sub>H (0.16-0.590). Biomarker parameters and ratios calculated shows that the studied oil is from clay-rich organic matter input, deposited under suboxic-oxic condition with high marine organic material input and low mixed organic material input. The lateral thermal maturity gradient indicates that the source rock is uniformly matured from North to South, these suggests high prospectivity from North to South of the Field. The Field section within the study area indicates variation in oil water contact due to faulting and tectonic activities. Assessment of compositional variation in these oil samples using biomarker ratios and parameters revealed compositional heterogeneity. And this suggests that the reservoir is compartmentalized, and the fluids are not communicating.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 232-236<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 14 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2647353752\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2647353752\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-c1ac603 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c1ac603\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d93bf03 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d93bf03\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c6932a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c6932a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Eric U.

The protection provided by Law Number 15 Year 2001 regarding Trademarks for well-known brands is a recognition of the success of brand owners in creating an exclusive image of their products obtained through advertising or selling their products directly. The rules in the implementation are expected to be effective, as developments are very fast, problems are always followed by legal aspects in taking action or as a guide. Legal protection for brand owners is important because there are many cases of violations of well-known brands both domestically and abroad that are carried out by irresponsible parties which is very detrimental to the owner of the famous trademark. Legal protection for legitimate trademark owners is regulated in the Trademark Law which is intended to provide exclusive rights for the trademark owner.

It was recorded that PPA increased the pH of WBM from 9.00 to 10.00, 10.80, and 11.75 while BPA was 9.98, 10.66, and 11.42 compared to caustic soda of 13.42, 13.60, and 13.76, this corresponds to 2g, 4g, and 8g of the additives respectively. The result for all cases was greater than the API 13B standard requirement of 9.5.Furthermore, evaluating the effect of the bio-enhancers on viscosity of the drilling mud sample, it was verified that BPA increased the WBM viscosity from 7.00cP to 11.50 cP, 19.00cP and 32.50cP at 300RPM Rheometer speed. At 600 RPM, viscosity increased from 9.00cP to 12.50 cP, 20.50 cP and 35.00 cP for 2g, 4g, and 8g of BPA respectively. In a similar way, PPA increased the viscosity of WBM from 7.00cP to 13.00 cP, 16.00cP and 38.5cP for 300RPM, also from 9.00 cP to 14.00 cP, 18.00cP and 40.00 cP at 600RPM corresponding to 2g, 4g, and 8g of PPA respectively. These results show that both BPA and PPA additives are good viscosifiers and pH bio-enhancers for the formulation of water-based drilling mud.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 242-247<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 14 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1550275452\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1550275452\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-b866c66 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b866c66\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c76dfc2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c76dfc2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f2bbce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f2bbce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Abdulmaliq Abdulsalam<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, University of Lagos, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Michael Okechukwu<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, University of Lagos, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Kenneth Olukotun<\/strong><br \/>Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, University of Lagos, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Qudus Onagun<\/strong><br \/>Department of Industrial Chemistry, University of Ilorin, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1550275453\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1550275453\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-f1feb07 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f1feb07\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-635d393 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"635d393\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1879f91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1879f91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Chibudike, E.

The population of the study consisted of 432 staff of the selected banks in Uyo metropolis. Stratified sampling techniques were used to select 148 respondents out of the population. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire. The instrument was validated by two experts in evaluation and Test. Data from 148 completed questionnaire forms were subjected to PMC analysis. the findings showed that training and membership with professional body has a remarkable relationship with professional growth of employees in Nigerian banking institution. The study however, recommended that, employees qualified for training should be encouraged by providing study leave with pay, and where scholarship is given a proper contract should be undertaken whereby employees would serve for a certain number of years after his\/her course. Emphasis should be placed on in-service training where employees already in the field impact knowledge on the newly employed employees and more effort to be geared towards developing a positive professional attitude among bank staff. Such attitude includes having high regards for the profession, upholding the code of conduct, desisting from any action that can tarnish the image of the profession.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-clone\"><\/i><strong>\u00a0Page(s): 248-251<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-calendar \"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Date of Publication: 16 February 2020<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-868798632\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-868798632\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-3459259 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3459259\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-484514a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"484514a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd80c74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd80c74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"icons-list\"><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Asikpo, Nonye Aniefiok<\/strong><br \/>Department of Accountancy, Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, PMB 1200, Ikot Ekepene, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Samuel Effiong Affia<\/strong><br \/>Department of Business Admisnration &amp; Management, Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, PMB 1200, Ikot Ekepene, Nigeria<\/li><li><i class=\"fa fa-user\"><\/i>\u00a0<strong>Akang, Akaninyene Udo<\/strong><br \/>Department of Business Admisnration &amp; Management, Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, PMB 1200, Ikot Ekepene, Nigeria<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-868798633\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-868798633\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-c5f226a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c5f226a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-109d641 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"109d641\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e563726 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e563726\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>[1] Aydin, G. &amp; Ceylan, T.
