Yes it can be used — The purpose of this study was to examine the Knowledge and Perception of Exclusive Breastfeeding among Lactating Mothers Attending Warri Central Hospital in Delta State, Nigeria. The data was collected using close-ended questionnaire. 500 questionnaires were distributed to nursing mothers who visited antenatal clinics in the randomly selected hospitals, from which 455 were duly completed and returned. Frequencies of percentages and cross tabulation statistics were used to answer research questions. Associations between demographic determinants and breastfeeding practices were analyzed using Chi-square statistics at alpha level of 0.05 to test the formulated hypotheses. The study indicated high (99.8%) prevalence of breastfeeding among nursing mothers, out of which 83.5% exclusively breastfed for up to 4-6 months. Only 16.5% however supplemented breastfeeding. The …

Can this topic “An Improved Image Steganography Based on Least Significant Bit Matching Revisited (LSBMR) Using Sobel Edge Detection” be used for Computer Science Education Project?

Yes it can be utilized for research — Image steganography is the science of hiding data for securing confidential communication and it is the most popular type of carrier to hold information. Many algorithms have been proposed to hide information into digital images. The least significant bit algorithm (LSB) as one of the algorithms proposed is widely used in message embedding. However, the robustness of the algorithm based on LSB is low. The hidden message is usually destroyed when some image operations like resizing, cropping and rotation are applied to the stego-image. To overcome this limitation, this work proposed an improved image steganography based on least significant bit matching revisited (LSBMR) using Sobel edge detection that withstands image operations like resizing, rotation and cropping. The proposed method employs …

Can this topic “An Assessment of Health, Social and Economic Challenges of Household Recently Affected by Flooding” be used for Economics Project?

Can the material for “Design and Simulation of a Prepaid Meter Fraud Tracking System with SMS Alert” be used as a guide for Computer Science (CS) Project?

Yes it can be used — A prepaid meter monitoring system with SMS alert is designed simulated and constructed using microcontroller to achieve a unique transmission of SMS messages to designated mobile phone numbers. The work is a response to the need to checkmate commercial energy losses in utility electrical distribution system. The system utilizes a normally open micro-switch incorporated into the monitoring system to detect when the prepaid meter cover is opened. The system triggers a series of actions which eventually lead to the sending of an SMS alert message to the GSM mobile phones at the commercial unit of the utility Electricity Distribution Company which contains the meter number and address where the tamper/theft originates. The system also triggers an alarm system to alert …
