Computer Managed Instruction(CMI) is a Computer Software whose primary purpose is teaching or self learning.This paper was motivated by the fact that Imo State University is under pressure to deliver an efficient and effective teaching process but constraints on staffing with increasing number of students have brought about unfavourable situations in most departments such that problem solving l...

Malaria in pregnancy jeopardizes the outcome of pregnancy, affecting both the mother and the foetus. The prevalence of placental malaria in women, who routinely attended ante-natal clinics in Owerri, south-eastern Nigeria, was assessed using three hospitals between March 2004 and August 2005. Placental blood was collected in EDTA bottles from incisions made on cleaned basal plate of the placent...

BACKGROUND The increasing trend of ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) across the globe in the poultry industry has led to a growing need for alternatives to AGPs. Prebiotic, probiotic and their combination as a synbiotic have been considered as potential alternatives. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a prebiotic (isomaltooligosaccharide, IMO), a probiotic (PrimaL...

The study was performed on 36 adult guinea pigs divided imo three group s . The first group was the control group and only laminectomy was performed. In the second group. using a Nd:YAGlaser. foeal spinal cord trauma was induced and lipid peroxidation value...

Sprite coding, accepted by the emerging MPEG-4 standard is a very efficient method for representing the background video object. Still this sprite generation is an open issue due to the foreground objects which obstructs the accuracy of camera motion estimation and blurs the generated sprite. In this paper we propose a method for constructing the background sprite with partial decoding of the M...

Description The IMO may use ‘out-of-market’ sources of reserve in response to an operating reserve shortfall in the real-time constrained sequence.1 Operating reserve shortfalls occur when either the total amount of available MW offered in the market for a class of operating reserve is less than the IMO’s requirement for that class of reserve, or when the total amount of available MW offered fo...
