Title: 2019 FUOYE INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE CONFERENCE

Abstract: Alumina possesses numerous industrial applications. In this mini-review, the use of alumina as precursors for the development of nanoparticles for water treatment was examined. A cursory examination of alumina as it appears in nature revealed its availability over the country. Alumina nanoparticles were synthesised in a variety of ways which includes precipitation and co-precipitation, sol-gel method, solution combustion and microwave synthesis. Most experimental investigations on alumina nanoparticles as adsorbent utilised batch experiments. From the review of experiments, it was discovered that alumina nanoparticles adsorption is mostly monolayer in nature and according to pseudo-second order kinetics. Though the adsorption capacities are widely varying, the removal efficiencies showed that the particles are very good adsorbents for the pollutants reported in studies.

Title: PROXIMATE, MINERALS AND FATTY ACIDS COMPOSITION OF AFRICAN STAR APPLE SEED (CHRYSOPHYLLUM ALBIDUM)
Authors: Adubiaro, H.O.; Olaleye, A.A.
Abstract: Fruits are parts of the seed bearing structure of a flowering plant and they are usually from matured ovary (Ihenkoronye and Ngoddy, 1985). Fruits play an important role in the diet as they contain virtually all the classes of nutrients and their appealing taste and aroma have increased their acceptability in the diet. African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum Linn) belongs to the family Sapotaceae. It is primarily a forest tree species and its natural occurrence has been reported in diverse economics in Nigeria, Uganda, Niger Republic and Cameroon (Bada, 1997). This study therefore aims at investigating the proximate, minerals and fatty acids composition of African star apple seeds. It is expected to provide additional information to the composition of food ingredients.2016-10-01T00:00:00ZForaminifera and Paleoenvironments of the Tertiary Ogwashi Asaba Formation, Southern Anambra Basin, Nigeria

Title: Foraminifera and Paleoenvironments of the Tertiary Ogwashi Asaba Formation, Southern Anambra Basin, Nigeria
Authors: Adeoye, M.O.; Ndeze, C.K.; Akande, S.O.; Ojo, O.J
Abstract: Foraminifera assemblages and paleoenvironmental investigation were carried out on the outcropping rocks of the Tertiary Ogwashi Asaba formation, Southern Anambra Basin. Several researches have indicated the usefulness of foraminifera in the construction of paleoenvironment and its significance in paleoecological studies (Luciani et al., 2016; Wolfgring and Wagreich, 2016; Nouradini et al., 2015; Milker et al., 2015; Thibault de Chanvalon et al., 2015). These foraminiferals are group of organisms that are ubiquitous throughout the world’s oceans, but the distribution of individual species especially the benthics is constrained by their environmental preferences.2016-10-01T00:00:00ZEVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF DROUGHT ON THE PHYSIOLOGY ACTIVITIES IN ASIAN RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.)

Title: EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF DROUGHT ON THE PHYSIOLOGY ACTIVITIES IN ASIAN RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.)
Authors: Adekoya, Modinat A.; Ariyo, Omolayo J.
Abstract: Rice is one of the major crops feeding the world population and is most important ingredient in food composition in Asia and Africa. Rice is not only a rich source of carbohydrate and proteins but also provides vitamins, minerals and fibre. It constitutes one of the most important staple foods of over half of the world’s population. Globally, it ranks third after wheat and maize in terms of production (Bandyopadhay and Roy, 1992). In 2012/13, about 491.1 million metric tonnes (FAO, 2014) of rice was produced from 158.4 million hectares (Statista, 2014) of land all over the world. Drought is the opposite of flood and it is defined in relation to plant growth or living condition and duration. It is a condition wherein there is continuous dryness or shortage of water to support plant growth and cultivation or living.2016-10-01T00:00:00ZRe-orientation of a NE-SW F1 fold during a retrograde F2 deformation in Southwestern Nigeria: Further signature of Pan-African tangential deformation

Title: Re-orientation of a NE-SW F1 fold during a retrograde F2 deformation in Southwestern Nigeria: Further signature of Pan-African tangential deformation
Authors: Adeonipekun, Dele Adedoyin; Olusola, Johnson Ojo
Abstract: The study area, Okedare/Babanloma locality, north east of Ilorin, falls within the south-western segment of the Basement Complex of Nigeria. The structural grain within the Basement Complex of Nigeria is generally N-S (Adedoyin, 2015) and constitutes the thermo-tectonic imprint of the Pan African orogenic event.2016-09-01T00:00:00ZRe-orientation of a NE-SW F1 fold during a retrograde F2 deformation in Southwestern Nigeria: Further signature of Pan-African tangential deformation

Title: Re-orientation of a NE-SW F1 fold during a retrograde F2 deformation in Southwestern Nigeria: Further signature of Pan-African tangential deformation
Authors: Adeonipekun, Dele Adedoyin; Olusola, Johnson Ojo
Abstract: The study area, Okedare/Babanloma locality, north east of Ilorin, falls within the south-western segment of the Basement Complex of Nigeria. The structural grain within the Basement Complex of Nigeria is generally N-S (Adedoyin, 2015) and constitutes the thermo-tectonic imprint of the Pan African orogenic event. The terrain evolved as a result of the several crustal remobilizations which occurred between about 3.0 to 0.45 Ga and lies within the southern part of the Trans Saharan Belt (Cahen et al., 1984) of North Africa. Imprints of four orogenic events have been identified within it but the dominant of the events is the Pan African, which post-dates the three other events: Liberian, Eburnean and Kibaran. Regardless of the polyphase deformations, the N-S structural trend is widely acknowledged and other fabrics contrary to that have been feebly reported (Affaton, 1991; Okonkwo, 2006; Adedoyin, 2015). The study area presents another scenario which supports possible imprints which developed as a result of deformation that were essentially tangential to those of the Pan African event.
