In this project work, we studied the Adams-Bashforth scheme for solving initial value problems. We gave an indebt explanation on the Adam-Bashforth scheme, its consistency, stability, and convergence, the two and three step methods were also derived. Numerical solutions were obtained using four (4) examples. TABLE OF CONTENTS  Cover page... Continue Reading

Infectious  disease  has  become  a  source  of  fear  and  superstition  since  the first  ages  of  human  civilization.  In  this  study,  we  consider  the  Discrete  SIR  model for  disease  transmission  to  explain  the  use  of  this  model  and  also  show  significant explanation  as ...

In this research, we investigated the deformation field near a crack tip due to thermal stress. Crack tip singularities are examined using a line integral that exhibits path independence of all contours near the tip of the crack in a two-dimensional deformation field of an elastic material. The approach of using the J- Integral is used to... Continue Reading

Mathematical models describing the variations in the plasma glucose and J insulin levels over time in an insulin - dependent diabetic person (IDD patient) were formulated. We showed that these models can correctly describe these variations when we solved them sirnuttaneously by andytical approach rather than the normal numerical approach... Continue Reading

Computing square roots over finite fields is a problem of interest, especially to understanding which algorithm is efficient, and how it works well. There are several known algorithms that computes square roots over finite fields, of all of them the shank’s algorithm is known to be the most efficient. The objective of this dissertation...

Among other atmospheric region, ionosphere, which is the ionized region of the atmosphere, is considered to impose serious limitation on radio wave transmission while the effect of other layers, more especially, the troposphere is often treated as negligible. At higher frequency, radio waves pass through the ionosphere and are attenuated due to... Continue Reading

Tuberculosis, an air-borne infectious disease, remains a major threat to public health in Kenya. In this study we derived a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations from SLICR mathematical model of TB to study the effects of hygiene consciousness as a control strategy against TB in Kenya. The effective basic reproduction... Continue Reading

Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow involving a fluid of varying viscosity subject to thermal radiation and Newtonian heating has various applications in industry and engineering some of the applications include designing of cooling systems used in electronic devices, cooling of nuclear reactors, harvesting of solar energy, thermal...

The concept of cycle index was first discovered by Howard Redfield in 1927. The cycle index formulas of various group actions have been computed since then by various authors. The formulas have been used to count graphs in mathematics and chemical compounds in chemistry. Therefore cycle index is a very useful tool in enumeration. It is... Continue Reading

This research work studies the gross national income on consumption expenditure of the federal republic of Nigeria from 1992 – 2011 It is aimed at fitting a prediction equation for gross national income over consumption expenditure, gross national income over time, to forecast the future national income and to test significant...

This project is focus on the application of computer graphics in presentation of statistical data. The data ;1owever, is formatted to suit the purpose as demanded for presentation in the form of Pie chart and Bar cha1i. Each of the charts is used to give certain information about the data in pictorial form. Pie chart portrays the... Continue Reading

In this project we design a computerized medical record system that will keep medical record of any medical centre. The researcher has selected to use Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital Federal Capital Territory as a case study. Medical record Department is one of the important department in any Medical Health centre that gives the.;. precise... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE 1.1    INTRODUCTION 1.2    Both the private and government sectors nowadays lay emphasis on strategic planning, balancing of records control and rapid response to a development problems. The result is a constant demand for better and more timely information. The need for efficient planning and controlling cannot be over-emphasized.... Continue Reading

Computerization of the operations of the Church and School Supplies (CSS) Bookshops was designed and implemented using Microsoft Access® 2000. The main aim is to improve the efficiency of Data Management and enhance Business Operations through the utilization of computer technology. This study identified and evaluated the application...

 This project is based on the computerization of the Personnel Information Management System. Before the advent of the Computer, the personnel information management system was manual. This presented a lot of disadvantages which include, misplacement of records, loss of documents, delayed work etc. This project highlights the design and... Continue Reading

The first part of this work established, with examples, the fact that there are more than one non-abelian isomorphic types of groups of order n = sp, (s,p) = 1, where s 1 was worked out and such groups have no non-abelian isomorphic types. This gave credence to the fact that a group of order 15 and its like do not have a non-abelian... Continue Reading

CHAPTER 1 Poultry Farming is the commercial raising of chickens, fowl, turkeys, geese, and ducks for their meat and eggs. The birds are kept intensively in a confined area where they are fed and managed carefully. Their economic significance varies considerably around the world. Poultry fa r ming m Nigeria is a very economically and commercially... Continue Reading

Simple population growth models involving birth rate, death rate, migration, and carrying capacity of the environment were considered. Furthermore, the particular case where there is discrete delay according to the sex involved in the population growth were treated. The equilibrium and stability analysis of each of the cases were...

  This project report deals with the class of asymptotically demicontractive mappings in Hilbert spaces. We noted some historical aspects concerning the concept of asymptotically demicontractivity and studied a regularized variant of the Krasnoselskii-Mann iteration scheme, which ensured the strong convergence of the generated sequence...

According to a few recent studies, calcium titanate is a material that is similar to hydroxyapatite in biological properties. However, calcium titanate is not currently being used in the biomedical application as to hydroxyapatite. The objective is to prepare nano calcium titanate powder from the solution of calcium oxide, ethanol, and... Continue Reading

The effect  of Heat treatment on the Mechanical Properties of a welded joint of medium carbon steel has been carried out.  The materials were cut, welded, to get 27 samples needed. Thereafter, Heat Treatment was carried out on the samples. Then the specimens were grouped into two groups, group A and group B. In group  A, after the heat... Continue Reading

  Attempt was made to produce wood pellets from sawdust using locally sourced binders as an alternative binder, to wood lignin which is a natural binding agent. Wood pellets were produced by manual moulding with starch concentration of cassava and potato starch as the process variable. Results show similar behavior between pellets bonded... Continue Reading

This research investigated the corrosion behaviour of selected steels (low carbon, medium carbon and high carbon steels) in 3.5 molar sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The selected steels were cut into smaller sizes, after which they were heat treated and immersed in the corrosive media (3.5M NaCl solution) for corrosion test investigation. The... Continue Reading
