Hybrid numerical methods for solving direct solution of initial value problems of general second order differential equations have been studied in this dissertation. Using power series as the basis function, the collocation ...

This research work considered three – quarter step hybrid method for the solution of second order differential equations. In order to develop the methods, collocation and interpolation are carried out using power series ...

The present study explored the feasibility of using derived and thiol-functionalized silica as adsorbent for the removal of cadmium under different experimental conditions. Effects of various parameters such as function ...

In this study, investigations on the recovery of nickel from aqueous solution using 2-hydroxy-5nonyl- acetophenone oxime (LIX-84I) impregnated on activated charcoal was carried out. The LIX-84I was impregnated onto the ...

The activities of Cu2+ and Zn2+ on Barbula lambarenensis were examined to understand the extent of metal damage to the chlorophyll content. The moss was exposed to high concentrations between 0.01 M−1 M of the metal ions ...

Anacardium occidentale (L.) shell oil, Jatropha curcas (L.) and Ricinus communis (L.) seed oils were extracted using n-hexane and tested as wood protectant against subterranean termites using Triplochiton scleroxylon ...

African mistletoe (Loranthus bengwensis L.) has been employed in sub-Sahara African folklore for the treatment of many degenerative diseases such as hypertension. It has been reported that drying methods play an important ...

The general antioxidant chemistry of organotellurium compounds have been largely related to their ability to mimic the native antioxidant enzyme, gluthathione peroxidase (GPx). However, the precise molecular event ...

This study examined the modulatory effect of crude alkaloid extracts of bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and water bitter leaf (Struchium sparganophora) on cognitive function, antioxidant status, and activities of ...

The study was carried out on two plant seeds; Murraya exotica harvested at Bells University of Technology Ota Campus premises and Ricinodendron heudelotti obtained from Cameroon. These seeds were sun-dried, ground into ...
