Abstract This study focused on immunonutrition which
is referring to boosting immune system response through
diet. In this study, the effect ofthe blending ratio of millet
and guinea corn on their nutritional value was
investigated for vitamin K, vitamin D, and Zinc
mineralswhich are considered to help bolster immunity
and their relevance in the fight against covid-19.The
proximate analysis result showed that guinea corn has a
higher value of ash, carbohydrate, and crude protein
contents whilemillet on the other hand has a higher
moisture content, calorific value, crude lipids, and crude
fiber contents as compared to that of guinea corn. Using
Design Expert for experimental design, a mixture DOptimal design was employed. The analysis of variance
(ANOVA) for the yield of vitamin K and D, and Zinc
mineral were statistically significant at “prob ? F” less
than 0.05. Optimization of the analysis revealed that a
blend in the ratio of 55.2 to 44.8 would be the best blend
that maximizes vitamin K, D, and Zinc minerals with
desirability of 65.1 %. Although cereals are not a
significant source of vitamin K and D the blends from
the study, if processed into food, would be able to
provide an additional quantity of the vitamins and
minerals needed to boost our immune system.

Abstract The aim of this research work was to optimize the production of particle boards from agricultural
waste (wood chips). The mechanical properties investigated were the modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of
rupture (MOR). The production of particle boards was investigated under the following conditions: stacking time (14-
21days), resin loading (386-463 g) and amount of agro residue (154-185 g) using Box-Behnken design. Statistically
significant models (p<0.05) were developed to represent the relationship between the responses (MOE and MOR) and
the independent variables. Both models showed significant fit with experimental data with R2 values of 0.99 and 0.97
respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that MOE and MOR were influenced by the stacking time,
amount of resin and agro residue used. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the MOE and MOR
and the optimization results showed that the maximum MOE and MOR values of 1114.09N/mm2
and 9.34 N/mm2 were
respectively obtained at the optimum production conditions of stacking time, resin loading and amount of agro residue
(i.e. 21days, 462.82g and 185.00 g respectively). The particle board produced at the optimized conditions satisfied the
American National Standard Institute ANSI/A208.1-1999 specification for general purpose particle boards.

Abstract The escalating impact of uncontrolled utilization of environmental resources has prompted a call for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). EIA, as a multifaceted and inclusive domain, necessitates the involvement of engineering experts, among others, in achieving the objectives of environmental development and sustainability. Consequently, this study examined the contributions of engineering professionals to EIA in Nigeria. A total of two hundred (200) questionnaires were distributed to engineering professionals in Lagos State, with one hundred and thirty-one (131) collected and deemed suitable for analysis. The gathered data underwent descriptive statistical analysis. According to the findings, 66% of engineering professionals have engaged in EIA, and 77% of respondents opine that engineering professionals should play a significant role in EIA. Additionally, the study revealed that civil engineers and transportation engineers were the most actively involved disciplines in EIA, while mining engineers exhibited the highest rate of non-participation. The study recommended that both government authorities and professional organizations encourage engineering professionals to enhance their involvement in EIA through continuous training and awareness initiatives. This would facilitate their engagement in decision-making processes concerning environmental preservation and sustainability.

Abstract The study effectively optimized the transesterification process of Jatropha oil to fatty acid methyl ester
using response surface methodology (CCD) and Taguchi orthogonal method, leading to enhanced
efficiency and product quality. The optimization of five process parameters was conducted to predict the
biodiesel yield (%) from the transesterification of Jatropha oil. The procedure was made easier with the
use of a nanocatalyst made from calcium oxide obtained from snail shells using the hydrothermal
technique. The RSM approach yielded an optimal FAME of 94.10% under specific conditions: a methanol
to oil ratio of 5 : 1, catalyst weight of 1.5 w/w, reaction temperature of 50 °C, reaction duration of 45
minutes, and an agitation speed of 250 rpm across 32 experimental trials. On the other hand, the
Taguchi method predicted a higher FAME yield of 86.36% using specific operational parameters. These
parameters included a methanol to oil ratio of 4 : 1, catalyst weight of 0.5 w/w, reaction temperature of
60 °C, reaction duration of 25 minutes, and an agitation speed of 200 rpm. These parameters were
determined through 16 experimental trials. The RSM technique yielded impressive results with
a determined coefficient of determination (R2
) of 0.9943, adjusted R2 of 0.9838, predicted R2 of 0.8470,
and a coefficient of variance (CV) of 0.65. On the other hand, the Taguchi method had coefficients of
0.8994, 0.7483, and 1.95. The FAME yield of RSM was slightly higher, but the Taguchi method was much
more cost-efficient. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that the methanol to oil ratio had
the highest influence on the yield, accounting for 49.61% of the variation. This highlights the significant
impact of this factor on the overall process. The study highlights the significance of utilizing advanced
techniques such as TOA and RSM, which are known for their effectiveness. The study aims to enhance
the yield and efficiency of the transesterification process, thereby increasing the overall production of
fatty acid methyl ester from Jatropha oil. This innovative approach efficiently generates biodiesel from
renewable resources, like Jatropha oil, in a manner that is both environmentally friendly and maximizes
the effectiveness of the process parameters.
