    Development and Evaluation of Egg Processing Machine for Poached Eggs Production
    (2022-03-01) Adepoju, A.L.; Sanusi, M.S.; Ayoade, A.A.; Babajide, C.O.; Raji, R.; Akpenpuun, T.D.
    This study was carried out to develop and evaluate an egg processing machine for poached eggs. The parts of the machine include the hopper, conveyor screw, the main housing, shell outlet, liquid egg outlet, motor, belt, pulley and cooking section. Materials for construction of the machine were carefully selected by balancing availability, durability, resistance to corrosion, suitability for food contact application with cost. The machine was evaluated in terms of throughput and material capacities and the values obtained were 301.14 kg/h and 548.4 kg/h respectively. Proximate compositions of the raw and poached eggs were 0.655%, 10.751%, 6.722% and 0.569%, 9.849%, 6.344% for ash, protein and fat contents respectively. It can be deduced that there was no reduction in the quality of the poached eggs as compared to the raw eggs.

    Reproduction Number of Vertical Transmission of Measles Model
    (A Journal of National Mathematical Centre, Abuja, 2014) Ibrahim, M.O.; Odetunde, O.; Ayoade, A.A.; Abubakar, Jos U.
    In this model, we study the reproduction number of measles epidemiology, the rate of vertical transmission of measles and antibodies, including the effect of maternal antibody on the spread of measles to the infant. We exempt the vaccinated class due to the finding of Viera Scheibner. We demonstrated that the disease will die out if the basic reproduction number for the disease free equilibrium R_{0}<1. This is the case of a disease free state, with no infection in the population. Otherwise, the disease may become endemic if the basic reproduction number is bigger than unity. The basic reproduction number at both the disease free state and the endemic state were obtained and the result shows stability in the effect of mother to child transmission of either disease or immunity
