Abstract Background: Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is associated with growth failure. However, recent reports indicate high rates of overweight or obesity among children with SCA in developed countries. It is unclear whether ...

The extant literature on composites has downplayed the merits of orange peel particulates (OPPs) and coconut shell particulates (CSPs) as fillers in mixed forms despite their engineering purposes. An OPP-CSP mixture can ...

Aspects of physico-chemical characteristics, plankton and macro invertebrates of Porto-Novo and Gulf of Guinea were studied in September 2012 with a view to determine the quality of water using plankton indices. Standard ...

The water quality characteristics and phytoplankton at a domestic waste polluted site at Oworonsoki, Lagos Lagoon in relation to environmental factors were investigated for six months (October, 2012 – March, 2013). The ...

Water-dispersible magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesised by the co-precipitation of iron salts (dual-source) and the hot injection thermolysis of iron pivalate complex (single source). The iron pivalate complex ...

Education is the key to open all doors. It is the process of acquiring new knowledge and can take different forms. It could be formal, informal and non-formal and takes place anywhere - at home, on the street, in the ...

Effect of ferrosilicon and carbonised coconut shell nanoparticle additions on wear resistance of (NF-Grey 7) cast iron were studied. Alloys of (NF-Grey 7) cast iron were produced by a gradual increase in masses of the ...

Simple linear correlations, stepwise multiple regressions and path-coefficient analyses were used to determine the relation between grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) and weather factors in a three year study involving ...

Phishing is a form of social engineering or website forgery whereby attackers mimic a trusted website or public organization or sending e-mails in an automated manner in order to steal sensitive information or credentials ...

This research paper proposes a webgraph dynamics model for research institutes based on a webgraph constructed on a set of instants of time and “return back” through removal of multiple hyperlinks. Analysis ...

This paper considers a web space built on a set of the university websites of Africa's most populous nation -- Nigeria. The investigation conducted reveals a weak connectivity in the set of official websites of Nigerian ...
