Abstract:

It is well known that existing empirical models cannot fit perfectly into environments other than those they were formulated in due to differences in terrain and climate. The Okumura–Hata family of models are gaining acceptability over the VHF/UHF channels. However, it is imperative to investigate their reliability and to use the one most suited to each environment. This study investigated the reliability of the Okumura–Hata, COST-231, ECC-33, and Ericsson models over digital UHF channels in Ikorodu and Akure, Southwestern Nigeria. The drive test protocol was used for data collection at interv

Abstract:

This study investigated the quantity and rate of medical waste generation in purposely selected public hospitals located within Akure metropolis of Ondo State and determined the characteristics of the waste generated. The quantity of medical waste generated was measured daily in kg per day, kg per bed per day, and kg per patient per day while, the physical and chemical characteristics were determined according to standard methods. This study indicated that the quantity of medical waste generated by Ondo State Specialist Hospital Akure, and Mother and Child Hospital Akure were 124.5 kg/day and

Abstract:

Malaria remains a global public health challenge, notably in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite extensive control efforts, it continues to strain healthcare systems. This study focuses on Akure South Local Government Area, Ondo State, Nigeria, where facility-based malaria cases are prevalent. Despite government interventions, knowledge gaps and healthcare access barriers persist. The research aims to comprehensively assess malaria prevention and treatment knowledge, attitudes, and practices in Akure to guide targeted interventions.

Abstract:

Analysis and study of the vertical variation of refractivity in the troposphere is required for radio systems planning in order to achieve successful operation. The diurnal variation of surface radio refractivity over three meteorological stations in Nigeria is presented. The stations include Lagos-Ikeja (6⁰35’N, 3⁰40’E), Akure (7⁰15’09”N, 5⁰11’35”E) and Minna (9⁰37’N, 6⁰32’E). Monthly mean values of temperature, pressure and relative humidity were used to compute refractivity for three stations. The surface refractivity also shows latitudinal and seasonal variation.

This work was based on microbial analysis of street-vended cheese, Wara (fresh and fried), in Owo and Oba-Ile Akure metropolis. The study was aimed at investigating the safety and quality of traditional ready-to-eat Wara vended in the streets. The results of the findings show that the Wara samples from Owo communities recorded higher counts of microorganisms than those from Akure. Also, Wara produced in Owo had the highest contamination from a microbiological point of view. It was therefore concluded that Wara could be exposed to contamination during the production process and sales when there

Abstract:

The identification of adaptable, stable and high yielding genotypes under varying environmental conditions prior to release poses a lot of challenge to plant breeders in selecting the best genotypes of okra. The genotype ? environment interaction is a major challenge to plant breeders because a large interaction can reduce selection gain and make the identification of superior cultivars difficult. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of okra accessions in different environments and identify a high yielding and stable accession so as to select a parent for further breed
