Moving Load Induced Dynamic Response of Orthotropic Rectangular Plates with Asymmetric Elastic Edge Restraints on Pasternak Foundations

This study develops closed-form time-domain solutions for the dynamic response of elastically restrained orthotropic rectangular plates resting on Pasternak foundations and subjected to moving distributed loads and moving distributed masses. The formulation accounts simultaneousl...

EVALUATION OF CHEESE WHEY FOR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AGAINST DIARRHOEAGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI

Diarrhoeal diseases remain a major public health problem and are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children, particularly in developing countries. Among the bacterial pathogens associated with childhood diarrhoea, Escherichia coli is frequently implicated, wi...

Phenological shifts as indicators of climate change in West Africa: a systematic review of ecological, agricultural, and societal implications

Abstract The phenology of biological processes such as flowering, leaf flush, fruiting and animal migration is one of the most reliable biological indicators of climate change. In West Africa, where over 70 per cent of agriculture is rain-fed and ecosystems range from humid fores...

Neuropsychiatric complications of clinically mild lassa fever with low viraemia: a case report from a global hotspot in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria

Lassa fever is traditionally classified as a viral haemorrhagic disease characterised by systemic symptoms and potential for catastrophic bleeding. While Nigeria remains the global epicentre, evolving clinical patterns suggest that neuropsychiatric manifestations are becoming inc...

Cloud-based Electronic Health Records (EHR) adoption rate in Nigeria: barriers and performance bottlenecks

Abstract Background While cloud-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are crucial to improving service quality and operational efficiency, uptake is still variable across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). There is a significant research gap in Nigeria in terms of e...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HYDROMAGNETIZED BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW EQUATION WITH VISCOUS DISSIPATION EFFECT ON A PLATE UNDER VARIABLE TEMPERATURE

With variable temperature and viscous dissipation, this paper considers a classical problem of an MHD boundary layer flow over a rectangular plate in a uniform stream of fluid. By using similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear PDEs have been transformed into a set of OD...

Comparative predictive performance of insulin resistance surrogates (TyG and TyG-BMI) and lipid indices for cardiometabolic risk in prehypertensive adults

Abstract Background Prehypertension is the initial stage of the risk pathway of CVD, which commonly associates with hidden metabolic derangements such as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. In the clinical setting, convenient, inexpensive predictors for early screening are requi...

Stakeholders’ perspectives on integrating non-communicable disease education into the secondary school curriculum in Nigeria

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly surface as public health challenges in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Despite the rising prevalence of NCDs, general awareness about them remains low, especially among adolescents. Nevertheless, little is underst...
