    Effects of particles size, composite mix and cold water treatment on the compressive strength of eremosphatha macrocarpa-cement composite
    (Forest Research Institute Malaysia, 2012) Adefisan, O. O.; Idris, A.; Ojeabulu, J.
    Effects of particle size, composite mix and cold water treatment on the compressive strength of Eremospatha macrocarpa–cement composite. Rattan–cement composites were manufactured using different particle sizes (0.60, 0.85 and 1.18 mm) of untreated Eremospatha macrocarpa cane and those treated in cold water using cement–sand ratio of 1:3 and 10% of rattan based on the cement mass. Specimens were tested for compressive strength after 28 days of curing. Increasing the particle size and inclusion of sand in the composite mix reduced the compressive strength while pre-treatment with cold water enhanced the compressive strength. The compressive strength of E. marcocarpa–cement composites was influenced by the interactions of pre-treatment and particle size as well as pre-treatment, particle size and composite mix.

    Womanism or Humanism: The Exploration of Pamela Smith’s Translation for Ogun Qmode
    (Matrix Publications Nig. Enterprises, 2024) Odoje, C.O.; Ganiyat, A.; Idris, A.
    Language choice in translation may be informed by many factors. Some scholars have alluded this to translator’s educational background, faithfulness to source text, their personality in the area of religious preference, condition of service and so on. The examination of the impact of gender or the sex of the translator on the language choice in the translation has not been as prominent. This paper explores the translation of Pamela Smith with the view to determining whether her gender influences her choice of words and style within the theoretical framework of natural equivalence. It was found that the language choice of the translator was full of compassion, romanticism and dynamism, which are a blend of womanism and humanism.
