Abstract:

The study evaluated the occupational health risks among automobile painters using biochemical indices. A total of 30 randomly selected male automobile painters and 32 age-matched control subjects were recruited in the study. Antioxidant and haematological indices were analysed by standard methods. Information about the life style of the test subjects revealed that 46.7% attained secondary level of education while 26.7% and 26.6% attained primary and tertiary level of education respectively. Fifty percent of the automobile painters were aware of the hazards involved while only 10% wore protecti

Abstract:

<em>It is often frustrating to experience call drops and poor signal reception, especially when it is motivated by an environmental factor. This reiterates the need for adequate planning of communication signal facilities. Integrating the use of tuned models is of great importance since it enhances the propagation of signals and improves the Quality of Service (QoS). In this work, signal reception was enhanced through model optimization using the least square method.  Drive test approach for the 3G network at 2.1 GHz in Owerri metropolis Nigeria was used to capture data from the environme

Interpersonal communication played a vital role among the primitive people as they strive for survival and socialcohesion. With the upsurge of modern social media, this vital aspect of man is jeopardised.
