Abstract: A 12 weeks (3 months) experiment was conducted in the biological garden of the department of biological sciences, university of Abuja, main campus to determine the differences in growth rate (length and Weight) of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus fed with one commercial feed (Coppen) which served as the control in tank A and two locally produced feeds, using soybean, tiger nut, date fruits, corn bran and fish meal for treatment B and date fruit, tiger nuts and fishmeal for treatment C. All the experimental feeds were studied under laboratory conditions, with the aim of establishing the best quality feed in terms of specific growth rate, total weight and percentage survival rate, for a period of 12 weeks. Ninety (90) fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus were grouped into 3 tanks with replicates. They were fed for the period of 12 weeks. Fishes in tank A were fed coppens which serves as the control with proximate analysis of 42% crude protein, 13% fat, 1.9% crude fibre, and 8.9% ash. Tank B were fed feeds with proximate analysis ranging from 1.56 - 40.0% crude protein, 1.49 - 23.2% fat, 3.0 - 16.26% and 2.13% - %.64. Fishes in Tank C were fed with 1.56 - 2.2% crude protein, 0.6 to 1.49% fat, 6.9 - 16.26% crude fibre and 2.13 - 5.61% ash respectively. They were fed 2% of their body weight twice daily, 8.00am and 4.00pm. The growth performance and physiochemical parameters were measured weekly. Results showed that fishes fed with coppens in tank A (5.02) had the best growth performance while fishes fed with formulated feeds in tank B (2.96) and C (0.437) showed appreciable growth performance.

Abstract: In many hydraulic structures it is required to dissipate flow energy to prevent erosion or degradation of the structure. In practice, there are several methods for this, including hydraulic jumps. Hydraulic jump can occur in different modes of channel geometry and conditions. Due to the sudden fall of the channel bed which is also referred to as the abrupt drop, the length of the hydraulic jump, conjugate depths of jump, hydrodynamic pressures on the bed and other characteristics are changed. Also, the use of roughness in the bed of the stilling basins of the hydraulic jump type can reduce the jump length. In this research, the abrupt drop conditions with a rough bed are jointly applied in hydraulic jumps and changes in hydrodynamic pressures at the bed of the stilling basin is studied. The experimental results can be useful in designing an abrupt roughened bed of a stilling basin based on the thickness of concrete slabs needed to ensure the stability of the bed covers.

Abstract: Managers today are very interested in knowing the future purchasing pattern of their customers thereby providing little insight about individual-level shopping behaviour. Additionally, behaviour may evolve over time, especially in a changing environment. This research develops an individual-level model for customer store visiting behaviour based on buying-behaviour data from standard wholesales outlet. We capture cross-sectional variation in store-visit behaviour as well as changes over time as visitors gain experience with the store, as the composition of the customer population changes, the overall degree of buyer heterogeneity that each store faces may change. We also examine the relationship between visiting frequency and purchasing propensity. However, we also show that changes (i.e., evolution) in an individual’s visit frequency over time provides further information regarding which customer segments are more likely to buy. Rather than simply targeting all frequent shoppers, our results suggest that a more refined segmentation approach that incorporates how much an individual’s behaviour is changing could more efficiently identify a profitable target segment.

Abstract: This study was aimed at investigating the effect of different drying temperatures on the proximate, mineral and vitamins A and C composition of an edible mushroom, P. sajor-caju. The fresh and matured mushroom was collected from Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti where it is being cultivated. Fresh samples were converted to paste using mortar and pestle and immediately subjected to proximate, mineral and vitamins A and C analysis using standard methods. The oven dried samples (treated with 50, 60 and 700C) were converted to powder using a blender and then subjected to the same analysis to determine the nutrients retained in the samples. Results revealed that the drying temperatures preserved and enhanced the nutritional characteristics of the edible mushroom. The treatment using 700C was the most suitable to dry the edible mushroom as it retained most of the nutrients (except vitamin C).

Abstract: phase transformations at different compositions and develop different synthesis methods that can curb the formation of impurity phases. Chemical route can be used to synthesize nanocrystalline undoped and Ni-doped bismuth ferrite with perovskite structure and crystallite size of about 14nm and 15.4 nm, respectively. Rise in doping concentration leads to generation of secondary phase, thus dopant concentration is maintained to 5mol%. Morphological analyses exhibits irregular polygonal to bimodal shape agglomerates with few interconnected pores. Dielectric constant for the undoped bismuth ferrite is about 100, while for 5mol% Ni doped sample it is noted around 600 (at low frequency). Such drastic change leads to higher polarizability which also enhances ferroelectricity with Ni doping on perovskite bismuth ferrite. Both nanocrystalline and Ni-doped BFO exhibits super paramagnetic nature due to suppression of spin cycloid magcycloid magnetic moment. Saturation magnetization of Ni-doped is slightly lower than for undoped BFO due to smaller crystallite size.

Importance of Decentralization in agriculture

Abstract: Agricultural extension increasingly has become defined as one or other of (apparently) differentiated activities of technology transfer or rural development. In many situations, the transfer of technology, heretofore considered the purview of public sector systems, has been reconceived. Such changes suggest a refocussing of paradigms for the delivery of public sector extension. In developed industrialized countries, which often provide models for extension service delivery elsewhere, the declining relative importance of agriculture for economic growth, the increasing education and affluence of smaller populations of rural producers, and the increasing use of externally purchased inputs have changed the nature of publicly funded extension services and led to a questioning of the means of delivery of extension services by governments Agricultural extension is a non-formal type of education that provides advisory services by the use of educational approach in acquiring knowledge and skills to deal with the growing needs of global world. Diverse agricultural extension funding and delivery arrangements have been undertaken since the mid-1980s by governments worldwide in the name of "privatization." When agricultural extension is discussed, privatization is used in the broadest sense – of introducing or increasing private sector participation, which does not necessarily imply a transfer of designated state-owned assets to the private sector.

Abstract: Bahrain features an arid climate. Bahrain has two seasons, an extremely hot summer and a relatively mild winter. The climate of Bahrain is generally dry, but low-pressure systems in winter can bring some rainfall. The summer in Bahrain is very hot. The country is prone to a number of natural disasters that affect normal operations and development from time to time. One of the most common natural disasters in Bahrain is sand storm Earth Quakes are also common natural disaster in Bahrain. Tsunamis affect the economy of Bahrain from time to time especially in the fishing sector. Extreme temperatures affect the island on an annual basis. Drought used to be another common natural disaster in Bahrain. Bahrain accounted for 2.4% of the worlds aluminum output. Mineral commodities produced in Bahrain included aggregate aluminum, cement, crude oil, iron ore, methanol, natural gas, nitrogen fertilizer etc. Keeping in view of all above geographical facts of the country, I have conducted many comprehensive studies on the Bahrain weather conditions and natural calamities combined with my researches and proposed the Bahrain Monsoon Time Scale, Bahrain Weather Time scale and Bahrain National Geoscope Project along with the other scientific results Bioforecast effect, Irlapatism-A New Hypothetical Model of Cosmology etc which can help to estimate the impending weather conditions and natural hazards of the country in advance to take mitigative measures and save the people, crops and other assets. For example-By setting up the Bahrain National Geoscope project and maintain, the country can be predicted the impending earthquakes(and / or storm surges, tsunamis, volcanic hazards etc geological hazards also) in advance. Earth’s underground mineral and water resources can still be found. Geoscope is also useful in emerging industries such as geothermal and geo-sequestration etc. By establishing the Bahrain Monsoon Time Scale and maintain, the country can be estimated the impending weather conditions and natural calamities rains, floods, landslides, avalanches, blizzard and droughts, extreme winter conditions, heavy rainfall, mudflows, extreme weather, cyclones, cloud burst, sand storms, hails, and winds etc in advance. Surface water resources can still be found.
