ABSTRACT The study investigates relative impact of financial sector reforms on agricultural and manufacturing sector growth in Nigeria. To guide the study, Ordinary Least Square technique was adopted and Eviews 8.0 econometric software was utilized for the analysis. A time series quarterly data sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin 2009 and 2013and it covered the period 1970-2013 was used for the analysis. After carrying out necessary pre- and ...

ABSTRACT Although crude oil in Nigeria is indeed a blessing, the fly in the ointment is the fluctuating price of oil which looks somewhat like a curse. The overdependence on crude oil as the country’s main product leads to Dutch disease syndrome. This study contributes to existing literature by estimating the impact of oil price fluctuations and oil revenue on welfare in Nigeria for the period 1981-2014. Employing the Ordinary ...

ABSTRACT The research work is concerned with Fuzzy Cognitive Maps-based Conflict control Model.  The objective of the work was to develop Conflict control model using Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) and Non-liner Hebbian Learning (NHL) that will allows the users (or policy makers) to optimize the environmental factors which are major causative factors of the Tiv-Fulani in other to achieve peace. To achieve the objective, basic factors understood to be influential ...

ABSTRACT Cashless economy has ushered in the cashless banking framework across different countries of the world and this is made possible by the advances in information technology. Electronic cash is a term becoming more acceptable as the world makes a shift towards a cashless society. This research work presents the development of a mobile payment system which implements cashless economy. The main aim of this development is to reduce some ...

ABSTRACT Performance analysis is the task of monitoring the behaviour of a program execution. The main goal is to find out the possible adjustments that might be done in order to improve the performance of the computer system in use. To be able to get that improvement, it is necessary to find the different causes/contributors of overhead. Today, we are already in the multicore era, but there is a gap ...

ABSTRACT The assumed deflection shapes used in the approximate methods such asin the Rayleigh–Ritz method were normally formulated by inspection andsometimes by trial and error, until recently, when a systematic method ofconstructing such a function in the form of characteristic orthogonal polynomials(COPs) was developed in 1985. However, vibrational analyses of plates with all edges free or clamped are much more complicated. This project aims at establishing particular expressions for the ...

ABSTRACT Thin-walled  box girder  bridges  are very efficient  structural  solution  for long-span  bridges because  of  their  high  torsional  resistance,  stability,  economy,  and  aesthetic  appearance. Though, this type of bridge is not common in Nigeria,  it is envisaged  that  they may offer economic advantages in future high way projects in Nigeria.  Analytically, however, the box girder bridge is a very complex indeterminate problem. Therefore, the primary objective of this research was ...

ABSTRACT This research work presents the analysis of rectangular plate on Winkler’s foundation using second degree characteristic orthogonal polynomials.   The plates were of three different edge conditions: Thin Rectangular Plate pinned on all edges (SSSS), Thin Rectangular Plate clamped on all edges (CCCC) and Thin Rectangular Plate pinned on two opposite edges and clamped on the other two edges (CSCS). The exact displacement and bending moment functions of these plates ...

ABSTRACT The inhibitive effects of bamboo leaves extracts (BLE) on the corrosion of aluminum in 1M HCl were studied using weight loss, adsorption, thermodynamics  and kinetic  studies. The phytochemical  constituents  of the  BLE  were  tannins,  polyphenols,  flavonols,  terpenoids, sterols and alkaloids.  BLE was noted to contain  more of the  polyphenols  and terpenoids which were largely responsible for the inhibitive action of the extracts. Results obtained from the experiments carried out ...

ABSTRACT Dyes from Pterocarpus osun Craib and Lawsonia inermis Linn. were extracted using ethanol and methanol respectively. The extracted dyes were subsequently purified using chromatographic methods. Purified pigments were characterized using Ultra-Violet Visible Spectrophotometer, Fourtier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer and Lovibond Tintometer. The UV spectra of the dyes in petrol,  kerosene  and  diesel  showed  presence  of  chromophores.  The  FTIR spectra of the dyes showed presence of phenolic O-H stretching and C=C ...
