Technology transfer is the process of transferring and developing practical skills and its application in one place or the other. It occurs between academia, governments and industries. This could be further developed and used to exploit the production of new products, processes and services. Research institutions and commercial partners recognize and achieve local economic growth. The cost of such growth is reduced through collaborations and provision of opportunities to benefit both partners and ensure that their interests and rights were protected. The exportation and importation of machineries and equipment and scientific information dissemination has dual use of resources towards enhanced productivity. In the emerging global knowledge economy a country’s ability to build and mobilize knowledge capital is essential f...

The issue of inspection is a very serious matter in the engineering profession and it cuts across all facets of the production stages. The main objective of carrying out inspection is the need for quality and weld quality as an important part of the overall quality effort. Several factors come into play when product quality is of concern, such factors as economics, safety, government regulations and global competition, the use of less constructive designs and more. The paper compared the two and concluded that the two methods ought to be complimentary rather than being competitive.

Seventy (70) male Wistar rats with average body weights of 128g were randomly grouped into 14 of 5 rats each. Group 1 received commercial rat feed and water ad libitum. Rats in groups 2-14 were given 250mg/kg bodyweight of chloramphenicol by oral intubation for 28 days. Results of blood samples collected after 28 days from all the groups showed normal blood film in Group 1 and abnormal increases and lymphocytes and the presence of blast cells in Groups 2-14. Group 2 did not receive any treatment and is referred to as the negative control. The remaining groups (3-14) were administered with aqueous leaf extracts of J. carnea (Groups 3-6), C. aconitifolius (Groups 7-10), and a combination of both extracts (Groups 11-14) in doses of 500mg/kg, 1000mg/kg, 1500mg/kg and 2000mg/kg respectively, for 2...
