In this paper, we consider the derivation of hybrid block method for the solution of general first order Initial Value Problem (IVP) in Ordinary Differential Equation. We adopted the method of Collocation and Interpolation of power series approximation to generate the continuous formula. The properties and feature of the method are analyzed and som...

The study of thermal radiative heat transfer over a continuously stretching sheet in the presence of a uniform magnetic field with dissipation near stagnation point flow on non-conducting permeable stretching sheet for power-law variation in the sheet temperature are investigated. The fluid flow viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to var...

This study was conducted to investigate unsteady natural convection flow of heat generating fluid in a porous vertical channel with velocity slip and temperature jump in the presence of thermal radiation. The governing equations of fluid flow and heat transfer were separated into steady and periodic parts. Exact solutions were obtained for velocity...

In this paper, Adomian Decomposition Method is compared with Variational Iteration Method using a General Riccati Equation. Both methods are applied to few examples and their results are compared to show the similarities and differences between the two methods. We proposed that the methods should be included in the Mathematical science curriculum a...

Abstract Mobile Number Portability is a mobile phone service that enables phone users to change operator at ease without losing their contact numbers. It enables mobile telephone users to retain their mobile telephone numbers when changing from one mobile network to another. A non-experimental study was carried out in 10 selected Local Government a...

The research is concerned with the development of a mathematical model for estimating the body weight of human beings in relation to some of their anthropometric parameters (height and waist sizes). The model was optimized to know whether it is possible for humans to have a maximum or minimum body weight. However, the optimization result showed tha...

Abstract This paper examines the quality of teaching and research in developing human resources to facilitate the development of tertiary education in the nation. It discusses the challenges and the roles of research in higher education. The author argues that the combination of content and pedagogical knowledge could help to develop human resource...

The research work examined and analysed parents and teachers factors as affecting secondary school students' achievement in two major subjects in Lagos Senatorial West. Two self-developed questionnaires consisting of 13 items for parents and 12 items for teachers were administered on randomly selected 102 parents/teachers. The research adopted a de...

The dynamics of climates and subsequent environmental issues in Nigeria and the universe have called for various professionals to focus on the application of school subjects to solving the world challenges. Some of those challenges involved conducting the study to clarify a number of widely held misconceptions about climatic changes and environment...

The purpose of the study was to clarify a number of widely held misconceptions about climatic changes and environment management in schools. It was also aimed at integrating climatic changes and environmental management topics into curriculum of secondary schools. Methodology of the study comprised random sampling techniques without replacement of...

This study examined and investigated the students' attitudes to the learning of computer studies. The research was carried out in SchoolNet integrated schools in Southwest, Nigeria. A sample of 1100 JSS three students participated in the study. This consisted of (male = 562, female = 538) students. Specifically the score (Mean =64.48, N = 1100, SD...

ABSTRACT The pollution from phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and heavy metals in the surface water of on a River in Ibadan city, Oyo State was assessed. Surface water samples were collected from 7 locations of the river catchment area in June 2011. Water samples were liquid-liquid extracted, preconcentrated and analyzed for detection and quantification...

Mathematics occupies a central position in the school curriculum. It is a core subject from the primary through the junior secondary to the senior secondary school levels of the educational system. This important position occupied by the subject in the school curricula is borne out of the role of mathematics in scientific and technological developm...

The study describes the instructional effectiveness in distance learning system (DLS) for teacher preparation of the National Certificate of Education (NCE) programme of National Teachers Institute (NTI) in Lagos State, Nigeria. It made use of the 120 lecturers and 200 students in some selected distance learning centres. An adapted questionnaire fo...

Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) was coupled to reversed-phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry for the determination of thifensulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl in cottonseed and cotton gin trash. The limit of quantitation was 20 parts per billion (ppb), and the limit of detection was 6 ppb. The analytes were extracted by homogenizati...
