Refocusing tertiary institutions for sustainable development in Nigeria seems timely. For no society can grow beyond its educational capabilities. Education at tertiary level occupies a key and central position in sustainable development in Nigeria. Despite this truism, this level of education is perennially faced with problems that impede its efficacy and its very existence in the Nigerian Federation. This paper examines how tertiary institutions can be stimulated for sustainable development through proper funding and grant of autonomy.

TOPIC: Diagnostic yield of Digital Rectal Examination during routine physical  medical examination in semi-urban African population.
Introduction: The higher frequencies of performing a DRE, diagnostic confidence, and adequacy were directly related to level of experience with the examination. Training in DRE technique has diminished and may be lost.
Objective: To assess the diagnostic yield of DRE in a semi-urban African population, thus estimating its relevance.

HPLC analysis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its relevant application to the unique polymeric nanoparticles (PNP) is described in this study. GABA is a major inhibitor neurotransmitter which is widely distributed in the central nervous system. Changes in GABA metabolism may play an important role in the origin and spread of seizure activity in epilepsy. Therefore, determination of GABA level is very significant in epilepsy treatment. In this study, determination of GABA in formulations was performed by HPLC using a developed validated method based on ICH Q2(R1).

The aim of this paper is to find determine the influence of strategic management practices on the performance of public secondary in Kenya . The research was conducted in Nakuru district where a census of 21 public secondary schools was carried out.

Findings: Presentating methods and steps carried out to build the Vietnamese subject cataloging tools.

When a liquid is in contact with a surface maintained at a temperature above the saturation temperature of the liquid, boiling will eventually occur at that liquid-solid interface. Conventionally, based on the relative bulk motion of the body of a liquid to the heating surface, the boiling is divided into two categories; pool boiling and convective boiling. Boiling is a very effective and efficient mode of heat transfer, and it is encountered in various engineering applications.

Tamoxifen is a sold under the brand name Nolvadex among others, is a medicine that is used to inhibit breast cancer in women and treat breast cancer in men and women.
