Abstract:
Growth in management information system (MIS) is important because change of role from manager department (department
head) in decision making is claimed to always obtain most accurate information and nowadays we are able to use of in course of decision making. In taking a decision, we need the make-up of the quality MISs (Laudon & Laudon, 2016). While reason for the usage of information technology in business is to support, in such a manner so that information system may also operate better (O'Brien & Marakas, 2009). Its meaning with existence of culture organisations in MIS company management decision making. The organisational culture, through its assumptions, values, norms and symbols, determines the way in which the members of an organisation perceive and interpret the reality within and around their organisation, as well as the way they behave in that reality (Janisijevic, 2012).

Abstract:
Alcohol as a teratogen could induce foetal malfunction or foetal alcohol spectrum disorder by mechanisms involving the dehydrogenases, cytochrome P4502E1 and catalase. These result in the concomitant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the resultant ROS-related damage to the central nervous system of the developing foetus. Thus, alcoholinduced teratogenesis (and even other alcohol-induced adverse effects) were generally mediated via and/or characterised by oxidative stress, cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction, interference with the activity of growth factors and retinoic acid imbalance. In particular, ROS could overwhelm cellular activities by inactivating electron transport chain complex hence decreasing the production of mitochondrial energy and activating the apoptotic pathway. On the other hand, the use of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors antagonists, antioxidants and neurotrophic factors seemingly attenuated alcohol-induced teratogenesis and other effects, hence served as its management strategies. L-Arginine, an amino acid that plays central role in the synthesis of nitric oxide improved foetal regulation of glucose release, transport and utilisation which were fundamental to alcohol-induced damage. This suggested the possible ameliorative role of L-arginine on alcohol-induced teratogenesis and other adverse effects of alcohol over use. Thus, the present review speculated that L-arginine could mitigate alcohol-induced teratogenesis and other adverse effects by enhancing the synthesis of the antioxidant molecule, nitric oxide, warranting detailed further studies. The outcome of such studies could help in managing and/or controlling alcohol-induced teratogenesis in women on alcohol prior to and/or during pregnancy as well as other adverse effects of alcohol in humans.

Abstract:
Maximum of mean seed weight was observed at 1997 while normalised seed weight was significantly higher at 1982 and 1995, compared with other years. Seed weight variation is positively correlated with mean seed weight for earlier rainy season years, excluding later rainy season years (1982 and 1995). Low and high seed weight variation associated for years with colder and wetter in May and with hotter and drier in May, suggesting drought in May might be effective on seed weight variation of I. dichotoma. Moderate normalised seed weight associated for years with hotter in June while high and low normalised seed weight for years with cooler and cool in June, suggesting I. dichotoma might use both photosynthetic productions and underground-storage for seed maturity. Mean seed weight and seed weight variation were linked to precipitation amount whereas normalized seed weight was linked to precipitation periodicity. Seed weight variation detected delay of regrowth, caused by early drought while normalized seed weight suggested seed weight response to complete seed maturation after droughty season, using photosynthetic productions and underground-storage. The results suggest that normalized seed weight might be useful to recognize seed weight response of I. dichotoma for climatic factors, better than mean seed weight and seed weight variation.

Abstract:
Rainfall characteristics and variability have profound influence on crop yield in most parts of Nigeria and Sub Saharan Africa.
Knowledge of rainfall characteristics and variability and relationship with crop yield are important in policy interventions to
stabilise farmer's incomes and food supply in the LGA and Taraba State at large. This study examines the impact of rainfall
variability on maize yields in Gassol LGA. Specifically, the study examines the trend of rainfall variability and maize crop production and the relationship between rainfall variability and maize yield in the study area. Archival data of rainfall and crop yield were obtained from relevant Government Ministry and Agency. The data were analysed using trend analysis, regression and correlation analysis with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Minitab. The result of the findings show that rainfall is increasing, while onset is delayed and cessation is early in the study area. The study finding shows that onsets of rainfalls are becoming more uncertain and unpredictable with dry spells after planting in the study area. The result shows that there is a low relationship between maize yield and rainfall variability in the study area. Rainfall variability amounts only to 23% of the total variance influencing maize yield per hectare in the past 30 years in the study area. A reliable estimation of the onset and cessation dates of the rain could help maximise rainwater use by farmers in the study area.

Abstract:
Endophytic fungi were isolated from Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish' harvested from 100-year-old crops. The antagonistic bioactivity and the inhibitory activity of the endophytic fungi were evaluated against various phytopathogenic fungi: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyder y Hansen, F. oxysporum Schlect. f.sp. cubense (E.F. Smith) Snyd. & Hans, F. moniliforme (Sheldon), Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl, Geotrichum sp, Phoma sp. and Cladosporium sp. In dual culture assays, endophytic strains of Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Chaetomium were found to be active against some of the targeted microorganisms. Four active extracts were fractionised using VLC (vacuum liquid chromatography) and two ethyl acetate and ethanolic extracts obtained from Aspergillus oryzae isolate led to two active hexanic and ethyl acetate fractions which inhibited growth of F. moniliforme (%I = 48.02 and 55.1, respectively; at 1 mg ml?1). The smallest EC50 (0.74 mg ml?1) was observed in an extract obtained from a strain of Penicillium sp. The same endophytic strain inhibited F. oxysporum by 59.72% in VOC (volatile organic compounds) assays.

Abstract:
This study was intended to compare the effectiveness and the efficiency of ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) for inducing mutation in pea seeds by considering various morphological and agronomical characters such as the onset of germination, plant height, number of tendrils, days for flowering and branches at maturity. Seeds were treated with 0.1% of EMS and compared with control seeds. The M1 generation has produced from the mutagen treated seeds. Thus, the material has shown great variation with respect to morphological and agronomical characters. Significant results have been observed with respect to germination period: mutant pea seeds took two to fourteen days to germinate while control seed took two to four days to germinate. Also, a significant reduction in the maturity of tendrils and their respective heights was observed after 18 days of mutant germination. Non-significant results were observed with respect to number of days taken for flowering and branches at maturity as compared to control. Significant reduction in height has been observed at maturity in mutant as compared to control.

Abstract:
The prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites rabbit, mice and rats was studied during the year 2012 in the laboratory of parasitology. The results showed that prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was 33.33% in rabbits, 30% in mice and 16.16% rats. Species-wise prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in rabbits concluded that out of four infected rabbits, tow were infected with Trichostrongylus retortaeformis (50%), and the prevalence of Passalurus ambigus was observed in one rabbit out of four (25%) while the prevalence of Cittotaenia cteniodes was noted in one (25%) rabbit out of total infected four rabbits. It was observed that the prevalence of T. retortaeformis was markedly higher in gastrointestinal tract of rabbits as compared to P. ambigus and C. cteniodes. Sex-wise prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in rats indicated that none of the male rats were found to be infected with gastrointestinal parasites and in female rats 33.33% were found to be infected with astrointestinal parasites; the overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in rats was 16.66%. In female rats, the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was higher than the male rats. The only one sample out of six rats was found to be infected with Giardia lambia species of gastrointestinal parasite. Sex-wise prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in male mice showed 20% prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites and in female mice 40% prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was observed; overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in mice was 30%. In female mice the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was higher than the male mice. The species-wise prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in mice showed that all the 6 positive sample animals were found to be infected with G. lambia species of gastrointestinal parasites and the prevalence was 30%. In the present study it was found that the females had the highest prevalence ratio due to the fact that, lactation stress causes depressed immunity which result increased shedding of eggs through feces.

Abstract:
This research project explores the use of bamboo fibre-reinforced composites in the construction of tall buildings. The goal of this research is to determine if this material has the potential to be used as a primary structural material for tall building construction. In addition, this material shows great promise to be more environmentally sustainable with faster construction times and lower construction costs. This project begins by investigating tall buildings and the effect that they have on the environment. The need for tall buildings arises from the need for increasing urban density necessary to accommodate the population growth. Currently, half of the world population is living in urban environments and within the next 25 years is expected to increase to nearly 80%. Increasing density in cities is now widely accepted as necessary for achieving more sustainable urban environments to reduce energy consumption and thus combat climate change. Other added benefits that tall buildings provide include reducing vehicle travel times and creating an opportunity for open spaces such as playgrounds, plazas, parks and other community spaces, of which can improve air quality and visual appeal of a city. The research� investigated the three primary materials used in tall building construction today: steel, wood and concrete. Buildings represent the largest energy-consuming sector in the economy, consuming over one-third of the world's energy and are responsible for approximately one-third of global carbon emissions. Concrete production alone represents more than 5% of all carbon dioxide emissions. Steel is also a poor choice due to its high-embodied energy and low thermal performance. Wood is typically the best principal material available for building structures with respect to embodied energy and carbon emissions. It requires less fossil fuel-based energy to produce and creates far less greenhouse gas emissions than the manufacture of concrete or steel; however, wood products require the cutting down of vast numbers of trees leading to deforestation and ultimately lowering earth's ability to remove the excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This study replicated a case study completed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) in 2013. In the SOM study, specific reinforced concrete members were replaced with mass timber, resulting in a code compliant and sustainable method of construction. This study builds on the SOM investigation by replacing the mass timber elements with bamboo fibrereinforced composite (BFRC) material. Available research data for the material was sufficient to estimate member sizes, material weight, and carbon emissions. The results indicate that BFRC has potential as an alternative to concrete, steel and wood for the construction of tall buildings. This conclusion is based on the assumption that the proper amalgamation of polymer matrix and natural fibres will yield BFRC possessing the best properties of each component, yielding a high quality sustainable building material made from a plant that grows well and is available in most parts of the world.

Abstract:
Knowing of flow resistance in channels is necessary for many purposes such as the estimation of stage-discharge relationship. All relationships between Froude number (Fr ) and Manning's roughness coefficient (n) lead to obtain useful information in design, implementation, minimisation of the construction cost, and design the economical section. The goal of the present work is to investigate experimentally the effect of Manning roughness on Froude number in open channel in subcritical flow, as well as, to establish some relations between different parameters. Three different cases have been adopted in this study. The first one is experimental tests on open channel laboratory flume, the second is to predict relationships from the concrete lining irrigation canal and the third procedure conducted in a selected reach of a natural� stream main outfall drain (MOD) project as a case study. In the experimental tests on open channel laboratory flume, the relationship between Fr and n gave a good relationship and a good agreement with the observed values. Also, the results showed that the values of Manning's roughness coefficient in the channel sides are greater than in the middle of channel. In the lined irrigation canal, the relationship between Fr and n appears as a polynomial relation of the fourth degree and a moderate relationship between them. However, Fr and n gave a significant relationship in the two regions in MOD, and gave a good agreement with the observed value. This study reveals a general equation that can correlate the Froude number with friction factor.

Abstract:
Strength, durability and fire resistance of masonry mortar with incorporating fly and bottom ash with four different cement/fine aggregate ratios of 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6 were studied both in fresh and hardened states. Results showed that the mortar containing bottom and fly ash attained lower strength than that of the mixture without addition of ashes. Bottom ash and fly ash mortar specimens experienced excessive bleeding. However, based on ASTM C270, the coal ashes strength fell under the Type O mortar for mix ratio of 1:3 and 1:4. The presence of heat up to 200�C increases the compressive strength of mortar. Besides that, the use of fine aggregate restrains shrinkage of mortar bricks even with high water content. This study shows that use of coal ash wastes can be effectively utilised in mortar production.
