INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF PHOTOPERIODISM ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF Vigna unguiculata GROWN WITH BIOFERTILIZER AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER IN EARLY AND LATE RAINY SEASONS
*NGWOKE, C.A., OMONIGHO, S. E. AND OGEDEGBE, S. A.
ABSTRACT
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital legume crop in many tropical regions, including Nigeria.
Photoperiodism, which is the response of plants to the length of light and darkness, significantly affects cowpea growth and yield and plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development. This study investigated the impact of photoperiodism on the growth and yield of Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) grown with a combination of biofertilizer and inorganic fertilizer (single superphosphate) in early and late rainy seasons. The experiment was conducted in a screenhouse, where the pots were arranged in a completely randomized block design with three replicates, two natural photoperiod treatments (10, and 14 hours of light), two fertilizer treatments (biofertilizer + inorganic fertilizer, and control) and three varieties of cowpeas (IT89KD-391, ITK-593-1-1, and…….

ACADEMIC CERTIFICATE VERIFICATION FRAMEWORK USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY *ONOSHIOZE, O. E., AHUBELE, B. O. AND OBAHIAGBON, K. O.
ABSTRACT
Academic certificate fraud has become a growing concern, with counterfeit degrees and diplomas undermining the credibility of educational institutions and causing significant financial and reputational damage. Traditional methods of certificate verification, which rely on centralized databases, are often vulnerable to tampering and forgery. This project presents a blockchain-based academic certificate verification system that leverages the decentralized, secure, and transparent nature of blockchain technology. The……

ACUTE TOXICITY, PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSES OF Clarias gariepinus JUVENILES EXPOSED TO ATRAZINE
*HILARY, A. C., ANYANWU, E. D. AND AVOAJA, D. A.
ABSTRACT
The impact of atrazine herbicide on juveniles of Clarias ganiepirus was evaluated using standard methods. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design (CRD) using plastic aquarium tanks with five species of C. gariepinus in four treatments (including a control) and three replicates; a total of sixty (60). Laboratory conditions with a natural photoperiod (12 h light – 12 h dark) were set up at the College of Natural Resources and Environmental Management (CNREM), Michael Okpara University of Agriculture,
Umudike, Nigeria. A four-day (24, 48, 72, and 96 hours) static renewal toxicity …..

ASSESSMENT OF THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF PETROLEUM CONTAMINATED SOILS IN BARANYONWA DERE, GOKANA, RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA
This study was employed to assess the physicochemical properties in crude oil-contaminated soil in Baranyonwa Dere (B. Dere) in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. Oil polluted soil samples were collected from different sampling sites at depths of 0-15cm and 15-30cm and analyzed using standard analytical techniques. The temperature of the uncontaminated soils (29.50 ± 0.29) showed a significant increase when compared to that of the oil polluted soils (27.50 ± 0.29) at p>0.05. pH of the contaminated oil soils (5.25 ± 0.03) showed a significant decrease when compared….

REGRESSION SPLINES: EXTENDING POLYNOMIAL REGRESSION AND PIECEWISE CONSTANT FUNCTION MODELS
Polynomial regression models have the limitation of forcing a common construction on the non-linear function of X while the piecewise-constant function models suffer from over fitting a model unless there are natural breakpoints in the predictors.

REDEFINING USER-CENTRED DESIGN FOR AFRICAN CONTEXT: UBUNTU
ABSTRACT:
The User-Centred Design (UCD) approach has revolutionized product development globally but often lacks sensitivity to African cultural contexts. This paper introduces Ubuntu-Centred Design (UCD), a framework inspired by the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and inclusivity.
