This study was designed to investigate loan repayment amongst beneficiaries of the National Directorate of Employment (N. D. E.) Agricultural Programme in Ondo State in order to know the repayment ability of the respondents. ...

The response of Rayleigh beams carrying moving masses, resting on variable Winkler elastic foundations is investigated in this thesis. The problem is investigated for both cases of uniform and non-uniform Rayleigh beams. ...

In this work, a class of numerical methods with step numbers k > 1 is studied to solve initial value problems of first order ordinary differential equations. Four new linear multistep collocation methods were developed. ...

Software cost today, represents a significant percentage of computing systems. Inadequate monitoring and evaluation of software development, operations and maintenance could lead to very high cost, failure of projects ...

This thesis studies the influence of axial force on the dynamic response to moving concentrated masses of rectangular plate incorporating rotatory inertia correction factor. The responses of the elastic structures to ...

Rice (Oriza sativa) is one of the food crops by which successive Nigerian governments had desired to boost food production since the early 1970s without much progress. Thus, this study examined the socio-economic characteristics ...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the technical efficiency of small holder cocoa farmers in Ondo State and to identify the influence and direction of the influence of farmers' socio-economic variables on ...

In this thesis, a class of discrete Linear Multistep Methods for Direct Solution of third order initial value problems of Ordinary differential Equations is developed using Taylor series expansion technique. The method ...

The development of linear multistep methods for initial value problems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has been the subject of investigation for some time. In this work, a class of hybrid backward differentiation ...

Small ruminants, especially goats are important sources of protein to the ruralites in all states of Nigeria, not only because there is no religious taboo against them, but also because they are hardy and can readily convert ...
