We study the direct correlation function (DCF) of a classical fluid of non-spherical molecules. The components of the fluid are hard spherocylinder (SC) molecules. The required homogeneous DCF is obtained by solving Orenstein-Zernike (OZ) integral equation numerically, using the...
Aims: This study was designed to categorize rural youth on utilization of agricultural information on arable crop in southwest Nigeria. Study Design: Multi-stage Sampling technique with quantitative approach was adopted. Place and Duration of Study: Rural youth planting arable c...

Follicular fluid (FF) is an avascular compartment within the mammalian ovary separated from the perifollicular stroma by the follicular wall that constitutes a blood-follicle barrier. FF plays a major role in the autocrine and paracrine regulation and also in the physiological, b...
The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in nutrient recycling can result in the improvement of plant growth and yield in nutrient depleted soil. Two years field experiment (2008 and 2009) was conducted at Ekpoma, Nigeria to investigate the effects of mycorrhizal inoculum on maiz...
Aim: To produce daddawa analogue (a fermented condiment) from Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) seeds which should have safe levels of anti-nutrients comparable to daddawa from locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seeds. Design of the Study: Lima bean and locust bean seeds were separately...
