ABSTRACT A lost of human, material and financial resources are trapped in medium scale businesses.      They   must   be   properly   guided   to   ensure   efficiency   and effectiveness.   Where audit succeeds in adding value to the growth and development  of  these  companies,  labour  unemployment  problems  will  be solved, there will be improvement in the standard of living and more profit will increase governments’ tax and value added tax (VAT) receipts as well as ...

ABSTRACT Assessment of the contribution of VAT to the revenue profile of Nigeria is the Works contained in this Project. It contained an indepth evaluation of the contribution of VAT to the revenue profile of Nigeria, the extent to which VAT proceeds impact on the revenue profile of the Nigerian government, to determine the extent to which the Federal government  policies affect the contribution of VAT to the revenue profile ...

ABSTRACT In this study, the adsorption effect on selected physicochemical parameters from tannery wastewater onto the beneficiated kaolin, kaolin/TiO2, kaolin/ZnO and kaolin/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites was investigated by employing the batch adsorption technique. The effects of pH value on crystal size of TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel method were also examined. The kaolin/TiO2 (KT), kaolin/ZnO (KZ) and kaolin/TiO2/ZnO (KTZ11, KT21 and KTZ12) nanocomposites were prepared bywet impregnation methods.  The prepared ...

ABSTRACT Crime has become a global challenge in recent times. The phenomenon has become a difficult task that military war-fare approach alone can address effectively without intelligence. Criminal intelligence involves gathering data on criminal activities and participants for preparing deplorable strategies and interventions.  Social  Network  Analysis  (SNA)  offers  supportive  tools  for  analysing  Organised Criminal Groups (OCGs) and identifying important nodes with conspicuous relationship as its priority. SNA-based techniques arrived at ...

ABSTRACT Generation of medical wastes is a global issue and if not properly managed, could constitute potential risks to the environment and public health. It concerns everyone. Unfortunately, awareness that it causes environmental pollution is low in many parts of the globe, especially in the developing countries. This study was carried out with the aim of examining the environmental and health implications of management of medical wastes in some parts ...

ABSTRACT This work assessed the impact of anthropogenic activities on water quality and its health implications in parts of Minna Metropolis. The study analyzed physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of water from various sources which include Boreholes, Hand Dug Wells and Water Vendors. The study collected twelve water samples of which the parameters analyzed were pH, Hardness, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Phosphate, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Escherichia Coli (E.Coli), ...

ABSTRACT Water quality analysis was done for both surface and groundwater samples. For surface water, samples were taken from the upstream; middle; and downstream sections of the river Landzun. Similarly, for groundwater, samples were collected from specific locations around the Bida catchment area of Niger State, Nigeria such in a manner to allow for effective spread. Water samples for both surface and underground regimes were collected during the dry wet ...

ABSTRACT This project is on the design, construction and testing of a cassava pelletizing machine. The machine processes cassava mash by extrusion into cylindrical form of about 2-3cm length and 9mm diameter called pellets. The machine is made of these major components: hopper, barrel, auger conveyor and a circular die plate. The hopper is made of a stainless steel 1mm thick cut from a flat metal sheet. The sides if ...

ABSTRACT Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consist of micro-sensors capable of monitoring physical and environmental factors. These are often mainly made up of resource constrained sensor nodes and gateways. Networking these nodes presents several challenges because the devices have limited computational capability, data storage, energy and communication bandwidth. Therefore, various lightweight communication protocols are emerging for Machine to Machine (M2M) communications.  Among the  various  application  layer  protocols  for  data  communication  in ...

ABSTRACT Stadium crowd referred  to the number  of people  corning together  in cluster for sporting activities  and other events in the stadium. The stadium crowd is usually  associated  with certain problems  that include but not limited to problems  of movement, ventilation, temperature, and crime, whereas this research is limited to the problem of circulation. The researcher reviewed past studies in which FIFA guide/recommendations  and other similar areas of interest were ...

ABSTRACT The study assessed the effects of cooperative societies on women involvement in groundnut processing in Agricultural Zone I of Niger State, Nigeria using a sample of 205 groundnut processors  randomly selected using Taro Yamane formula at 5% error tolerance and 95% level  of  confidence  from  the  study  area.  Specifically,  the  study  described  the  socio- economic characteristics of respondents, assessed  their level of involvement in cooperative activities, determined their outputs ...

ABSTRACT Generally,  the  importance  of  tourism  keeps  rising  day  by  day  and  in  all  its ramifications, it is of significant importance to the economy, social, and environmental well-being of a country. Tourism is an increasingly important source of income, employment and wealth in many countries and its rapid expansion has been considered as an interesting possibility for sustainable development, including poverty reduction, in Nigeria.  Nigeria  is  a  country with  very ...

ABSTRACT Guinea corn is one of the major cereal crops widely grown in Nigeria, and a very important staple food for the populace particularly in the northern part of the country. Excessive increases  in  temperature  results  in  low  agricultural  productivity  and  this  may lead  to depletion of soil nutrients and destruction of soil structure and organisms which contribute to the fertility of the soil. The study examines the impact of ...

ABSTRACT Soft frequency reuse (SFR) techniques have been deployed to address the problem of interference  experienced  by  users  in  cellular  networks.  In  some  of  these  techniques, resources allocations are based on the assumption that users are uniformly distributed.However, in a real network scenario where SFR is deployed for resource allocation, the distribution of users in the network regions is random. Analysis of the impact of random deployment of users in ...
