The present study was designed to develop the prediction equations for 305 days fat corrected milk
yield on the basis of part periods milk yield, milk component and conformation traits of multi
genotype cows. Artificial Neural Network model had the best prediction accuracy across varying
environments, though Genetic Function Algorithm had the overall best adequacy for fat corrected
milk yield predictions (FCM305d=1036.1-98.3RP+22FY+15.92UC-0.07RUH; Adj R2=0.997;

Assessment of Knowledge and Competencies of Community Pharmacists for Differentiated HIV Care and Services in Jos, Nigeria
(2019-08-27) DaparM. L. P; JosephB. N; Damun, P. A; Okunlola C. R.; Alphonsus P. N.; Aya B. M.
Background: Knowledge and competence of community pharmacists in HIV care, are essential for translating the goals of differentiated care into improved outcomes. Aims: To assess the knowledge and competence of community pharmacists in Jos, for differentiated HIV care and services. Study Design: Cross-sectional questionnaire survey. Place and Duration of Study: Community pharmacies in Jos North and Jos South local government areas of Plateau state, North-Central Nigeria, between September to November, 2018. Methodology: We included community pharmacists who responded to six items on knowledge of HIV therapeutics with each correct answer recording a score of 1 and zero for wrong answers. Respondents with a correct score of 5 or 6 represent good knowledge. We examined competence
Effect of Tier Level, Exposure and Period on Egg Production and Grade of Eggs
(2018-10-23) Adekola Omololu Atanda; Okeke Rufina Obioma; Balami Samuel Paul; Louis Ugwu; Abdullahi Idris; Oludayo Michael Akinsola
A total of 230 Nera birds were studied in an open and close-ended layer house for 6 weeks to
determine the effect of cage location, tier level, and exposure of bird on egg production. Birds were
supplied ad Libitum with feed and water. Eggs were collected twice daily at 11.00 am, and 4.00
p.m. counted, weighed and classified into sizes. The production of the egg was found to be
significantly influenced by the location of laying hen. The upper tier recorded 29.17% superiority
over the lower tier. This showed that birds laid more eggs in the upper tier. Besides, tier did not
significantly (P < 0.05) affect the sizes of the egg laid. In this study, the birds used were exposed to
light and dark conditions. The result obtained showed that more eggs were produced at the better
lit area than the more shaded area. It is therefore economically viable to have more light in the
Human Age Estimation: Use of Doppler Ultrasound Blood Velocity Measurement in the Human Carotid Artery
(2015) Pam, S.D; Dakok, K.K; Sirisena; Gadong U.A.I; E.P; Taddy, E.N.; Chagok N.M.D
Abstract
Assessment of a living person’s age has gained prominence due to its numerous applicability: suspected
criminals with no reliable records of identification where verifying age is essential for determining legal and/or
financial responsibility; adults from developing nations with no reliable certificates or documents and
falsification of age in order to merit appointments or participate in sporting events are a few to mention. In this
work, the Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV) and End Diastolic Velocity (EDV) on the right and left Common Carotid
Arteries were measured with the LOGIQ 5 EXPERT Ultrasound Machine using the technique of Doppler
Ultrasound Velocity Measurement of blood flow in the carotid arteries of 50 volunteers (25 males and 25
females) whose blood pressures were taken. Use of The IBM SPSS shows that the Right Peak Systolic Velocity
and Left End Diastolic Velocity were unrelated to the blood pressure for the hypertensive, pre-hypertensive and
the non-hypertensive groups. However, results show that the Right End Diastolic Velocity (REDV) is positively
correlated with age , while the Right Peak Systolic Velocity (RPSV) is negatively
correlated with age both indicating that the age of an individual could be
estimated.
The In vivo Antioxidant Protective Activity of Mangifera indica Cold Aqueous Leaf Extract in Drosophila Melanogaster
(2019-08-24) Etuh, Monday Alexander; John C. Aguiyi; Ochala, Sunshine Ogwu; Omale Simeon; Oyeniran, Oluwatosin Imoleayo; Olusegun Debola; Dung Pam
Objective: To evaluate in vivo antioxidant activity of Mangifera indica cold aqueous leaf extract. Methods: A number of 50 adult flies were exposed to graded concentrations of Mangifera indca cold aqueous leaf extract, 2.5 mg/10 g diet, 5 mg/10 g diet and 10 mg/10 g diet for 5 days. Each concentration was prepared in 200 µl of distilled water and replicated five times. 10 g diet with 200 µl distilled water served as control. Mortality reading was taken at 24 hours interval. The flies were homogenized, centrifuged and the supernatant was used to assay for Glutathione-S-transferase (GST), Catalase (CAT) and Total thiol content. Results: The % mortality of flies after 5 days showed 32.5%, 0%, 15.5% and 37% in the control (10 g diet with 200 µl of distilled water), 2.5 mg/10 g diet, 5 mg/10 g diet and 10 mg/ 10 g diet
