The parameters of this pair potential were determined by fitting the experimental values of the bulk material and used to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion for ten face centered cube (fee) and ten body centered cube (bee) metals at room temperature. A variation of the inter-atomic distance was taken to obtain a cut-off inter-atomic distance re where a comparable value of CTE with experimental values where predicted. The cut off inter-atomic radius for fee metals was re =0.704 and that of bee metals was re =0.8746.Item A MORAL QUEST FOR CHILD ABUSE IN NIGERIA: AN EXERCISE IN PHILOSOPHY.(Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, 2010-06-06) OLANIYAN OLAKUNLE OLANIYI; OLANIYAN OLAKUNLE OLANIYIThis essay philosophically investigated the moral implication of child abuse in Nigeria.

The problem of electoral malpractices is so dominant in Nigeria, such as illegal printing of voter's card, multiple voting etc. The purpose of this research was to unravel the electoral malpractices in the Nigerian political system and how it has affected the leadership position and development pace. The main thrust of this research was to show the fraudulent political situation of Nigeria, and how it could be ethically resolved. This research employed analytic, prescriptive and conceptual method of philosophy. This research depended on textual materials and journals from various university libraries. However, internet materials were also used. This research was limited to the Nigerian electoral malpractices. This research was divided into four chapters, which were Conceptual Clarification of Democracy, Electoral Malpractices in Contemporary Nigerian Democratic Society, The Effect of Electoral Malpractices in Contemporary Nigerian Society and Ethics as a Panacea to Nigerian Electoral Malpractices.Item ANTI-DIABETIC STUDIES OF Chromolena odrata FLAVONOID FRACTION IN STREPTOZOCIN-TREATED RATS: INVOLVEMENT OF TGR5/INSULIN/PDX 1 PATHWAY(Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, 2021-11-11) Ojochenemi Aladi ENEJOH; Ojochenemi Aladi ENEJOHThe results showed that CoF up-regulated the expression of insulin and pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 genes in the pancreas, and GLP-1 in the intestine. In the kidney, BUN/SC levels were restored to pre-STZ treatment states following CoF treatment. Inflammatory and kidney injury molecule -1 genes were equally significantly down-regulated (p<0.05) in STZ-CoF treated group in comparison with STZ-only group. In the aorta, the significant increase of inflammatory genes as a result of STZ treatment, were down-regulated by CoF intervention. CoF also significantly increased antioxidant genes that were down-regulated in the STZ-only group. Histo-structural alterations associated with STZ treatment were completely reversed in STZ-CoF group in the pancreas, kidney and aorta. NOAEL experiments revealed that CoF is relatively safe up to doses of 100 mg/kg b.w. Moleculardynamics simulation confirmed TGR5 as the putative target, where it evolved active state conformation from a starting intermediate state conformation when bound to CoF. Further studies revealed that the performance ofCoF was highly comparable with metformin (an anti-diabetic drug).Item BIOASSAY OF FUNGICIDAL POTENTIAL OF SOME SELEC'fla . .-.;:·:- ,??
