CONTRIBUTORY EFFECT OF POST BROODING AGE ON GROWTH PARAMETERS OF ABOR ACRE BROILER CHICKEN
Growths in broiler are mostly in two phases of starter and finisher. The most profound developmental changes, both qualitative and quantitative, occur at starter phase which are sometimes relatively short when compared with the finisher phase. Knowing the contributory effect of the finisher phase on growth will guide farmers to... Read more
THE IMPACT OF MULTIPROCESSOR DISTRIBUTED MEMORY SYSTEMS ON PARALLEL COMPUTING APPLICATIONS
Compute-intense calculations and parallel computing concepts on Central Processing Units (CPU) require long execution times. Hence, to overcome this challenge which is as a result of limited memory for processes of high matrix orders, developers nowadays use parallel computing approach to develop applications. The aim of the study is to... Read more
THE EFFECTS OF FAULTY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ON BUILDING MAINTENANCE IN LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA
Building defects arising from design and construction are recognized to have ample effects on the level of maintenance of buildings which often lead to increased costs causing dissatisfaction. Minimizing these defects will reduce building maintenance problems and increase the lifespan of structures. This study examined the effects of faulty design... Read more
SYNCHRONIZATION OF SINGLE PHASE GENERATORS FOR DOMESTIC APPLICATION: RELIABILITY IN LOAD HANDLING
This study proves that synchronization can be realized using ordinary single-phase domestic generators. This was achieved first by developing a manual means of combining two or more generators for effective operations and design of electronic device that makes synchronization much easier and affordable for domestic users, secondly, an evaluation of...

PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF GONGRONEMALATIFOLIUM (UTAZI) LEAVES
The leaves of Gongronema latifolium (Utazi) plant were examined for their Phytochemical and antimicrobial properties. The Phytochemical Screening was carried out using standard procedures on ethanol extract of the leaves sample. The leaves of the plant sample showed the presence of the following phytochemicals such as Alkaloids (2.55 1.47), Flavonoids... Read more
EFFECT OF ORGANIC MANURE ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF AMARANTH (Amaranthus cruentus)
Low soil fertility status is a major constraint to sustainable crop production in the humid tropics, thus necessitating the need for regular external fertilizer input. The effect of organic manure on the growth and yield of Amaranth (Amaranathus cruentus) was evaluated. The experiment was conducted at the Teaching, Demonstration and... Read more
