About the Cover

This present study was to determine the stature and foot length and to determine the correlation if any between stature and foot length among adults of the Ibibio ethnic group of Nigeria. It was also aimed to find a regression equation to predict stature from foot length in adults of the Ibibio ethnic group of Nigeria. Adults of the Ibibio ethnic group participated in this anthropometric study. A total of 300 people (179 males and 121 females) between the ages of 18 and above were studied. These participants were randomly selected from the eleven local government areas of Akwa Ibom state which make up the Ibibio ethnic group. Verbal consent was obtained from each individual. Stature and foot length were measured using standard anthropometric techniques. Pearson’s coefficients of correlation and regression equations were calculated using Minitab statistical package for stature and foot length. The mean and standard deviation for stature in this study was 167.45±7.03 and 159.89±5.44 for male and female respectively and that for foot length was 27.01±3.1.43 and 25.31±1.20 for male and female respectively. The foot length showed a strong significant linear correlation (r) with stature. (r=0.71 and r=0.64, (p<0.01) for males and females respectively. The following equations were derived to predict the stature (S). In males S= 74.37 + 3.45 foot length (cm), in females S= 86.36 + 2.91 foot length (cm).

Simulation of Rate of Adsorption by Approach of Multiple Regression Model

Ikenyiri PN, Abowei FM, Ukpaka CP, Amadi SA

Mathematical model was developed to monitor, predict and simulate the rate of adsorption of Crude oil using the approach of multiple regression techniques. The research revealed that the rate of adsorption of crude oil in the process of remediation depends completely on sawdust dosage, weight of adsorbent and concentration of crude oil as well as the independent variables
