1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The ever-increasing volume of records being created as well as the rapidly increasing costs of maintaining these records necessitate the utilization of efficient records management. The smooth functioning of an organization is greatly dependent upon the efficient utilization of information. For any... Continue Reading

1.0 INTRODUCTION This project is aimed at looking into the accounting profession in details and examining its role in societal development. A study of the evolution of accounting suggests that accounting processes are reactive because they have developed primarily in response to business needs. Also the development of accounting process has been... Continue Reading

Chapter one, Introduces the project Chapter two, talks on literature review Chapter three takes care of the methodology Chapter four is about data analysis and... Continue Reading

Not, every Nigerian knew exactly the paramount impact of Community Banks to our dear nation and to economic growth and development of our father land Nigeria. Most of the time, it sounds aloof and appears trivial to the ignorant and the unconcerned. We just hear about this bank without really care how to set it up or even support it.... Continue Reading

The concept of corporate social responsibility has generated a lot of controversy our the tears. While some of business was business alone some strongly believe that business should become more involve with public interest. This study is thus an attempt to have an insight into the extent of which endless Nigeria PLC has been socially... Continue Reading

Background of the study There is increased advocacy on the consumption of functional foods by World human nutrition due to different health problems related with food consumption such as diabetes and coronary heart diseases (WHO/FAO, 2003). Food professional/industries might face challenges of producing food products containing functional... Continue Reading

Oils extracted from the fruits of two Africa spices- Piper guineense and Xylopia aethiopica were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities using Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp, Aspergillus sp, Bacillus cereus, Penicillum commune and Rhizopus stolonifer as test isolates. Well-in-agar, disc diffusion and dilution susceptibility testing... Continue Reading

Native Starch was extracted from Aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera). The starch extracted was dried using oven (at 300C for 24 hours) and microwaved for (30, 45, 60 seconds). Starch obtained using different drying methods and conditions were analysed for their physicochemical, functional properties and pasting characteristics. Results... Continue Reading

Cheese is a concentrated dairy product produced by acid or rennet curdling of milk, stirring and heating the curd, draining off the whey, collecting and pressing the curd. In this study, Cheese was made from cow milk supplemented with tigernut milk and coconut milk in the percentage ratio of 25:25:50; 25:50:25; 50:25:25; 75:25:0; 75:0:25%... Continue Reading

The characteristics of publish/subscribe technology are of synchronism and loosely coupled. This phenomenon makes producers and consumers are de-communicated in temporal and spatial domains during processing. It requires develop a dynamic integration in today's large-scale, distributed information system. This paper introduces a... Continue Reading

An efficient and distributed scheme for file mapping or file lookup is critical in decentralizing metadata management within a group of metadata servers. This paper presents a novel technique called Hierarchical Bloom Filter Arrays (HBA) to map filenames to the metadata servers holding their metadata. Two levels of probabilistic arrays,...

The next-generation mobile network will support terminal mobility, personal mobility, and service provider portability, making global roaming seamless. A location-independent personal telecommunication number (PTN) scheme is conducive to implementing such a global mobile system. However, the nongeographic PTNs coupled with the anticipated...

We consider several distributed collaborative key agreement and authentication protocols for dynamic peer groups. There are several important characteristics which make this problem different from traditional secure group communication. They are: 1) distributed nature in which there is no centralized key server; 2) collaborative nature in... Continue Reading

Wireless hotspots are typically implemented using 802.11 APs. Each AP typically operates on a single, administrator-configured wireless channel. Each client associates with a single AP and subsequently interacts with this AP alone, on the AP’s configured channel. As a basic design rule, APs within radio frequency (RF) range of each...

Digital watermarking is the process by which identifying data is woven into media content such as images, movies, music or programming, giving those objects a unique, digital identity that can be used for a variety of valuable applications. Imperceptible to the human senses yet easily recognized by special software detectors, a digital... Continue Reading

We analyze a class of randomized Least-Recently-Used (LRU) cache replacement algorithms under the independent reference model with generalized Zipf’s law request probabilities. The randomization was recently proposed for Web caching as a mechanism that discriminates between different document sizes. In particular, a requested document... Continue Reading

On-demand routing protocols use route caches to make routing decisions. Due to mobility, cached routes easily become stale. To address the cache staleness issue, prior work in DSR used heuristics with ad hoc parameters to predict the lifetime of a link or a route. However, heuristics cannot accurately estimate timeouts because topology... Continue Reading

Electronic circuit simulation uses mathematical models to replicate the behavior of an actual electronic device or circuit. Simulation software allows for modeling of circuit operation and is an invaluable analysis tool. Due to its highly accurate modeling capability, many Colleges and Universities use this type of software for the... Continue Reading

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, such as computer programs, multi-media (audio, video), documents, or electronic books. It may be implemented through a variety of storage, transmission, and distribution models and common methods of file sharing incorporate manual sharing... Continue Reading

This system provides online comprehensive solution for providing online registration services for Mathematics and Computer Science students, their courses and other registration procedural requirements. The system dedicates its resources to becoming the best Tertiary institution web based portal for students. The resources included in the... Continue Reading

In a research conducted to ascertain the antimicrobial activity of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) bark on organisms such as Escherichia coli, Slamonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus using the ethanol and auqous extracts of the watermelon bark applying agar-well and pour-plate sensitivity technique. It was observed that the ethanoic... Continue Reading

This project deals with the design and implementation of an expert system for car faults diagnosis. The project is motivated by the need to guide car owners and learners motor mechanics in the maintenance and trouble shooting of motor problems without having to resort to presumptions and conjectures. Particularly, it is expected that the... Continue Reading

As mobile phone handsets attain increasing capabilities, we see many more opportunities for novel applications development. These handsets are typically characterized as constrained computing platforms, due to limitations in computing, storage and interface capabilities. Specialized development environments, such as J2ME, allow for cross-... Continue Reading

Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider. The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other... Continue Reading

This project presents the results of the investigation conducted on a lightweight foamed concrete using different reagents; Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Lithofoam, with a view to determining its potential as a construction material in Nigeria. The properties investigated on the foamed concrete having target density of 1800kg/m 3 were:... Continue Reading
