Communication media are essential apparatus for developing profitable customer relationship in every organization. This paper investigates the communication media used for information service delivery in university libraries in North Western States of Nigeria. The concept of communication, communications media and the need for communication with customers were highlighted. Survey method was used and library staff comprising professionals and paraprofessionals was the subject of the study. The study found that personal contacts, complaint boxes, notice boards and news bulletin were the popular type of media used for communication with customers in Kashim Ibrahim Library, A.B.U., Zaria, Bayero University Library, Kano and Abdullahi Fodiyo University Library, Sokoto. It was also revealed that there is significant difference in the types of media used for communication with the customers in the selected university libraries in North Western States of Nigeria. It was concluded that the low level of utilization of information resources and services in the university libraries could be attributed to their reluctance to communicate their messages via appropriate media to their teaming customers. The introduction of a course unit entitled Communications in Library and Information work is highly advocated

A collaborative caching over PLC for remote areas

Power line communication (PLC) technology has emerged to foster ease of reach for broadband access network in remote or developing areas at lower costs by making use of existing wired power infrastructure for electricity distribution. The increase in data demand, pushed by the popularity of communication services, poses an overwhelming burden on the underlying PLC technology, especially for backhaul links. To confront this issue, edge server deployed at the access network improves data processing and reduces network delays and also helps better provisioning of resources which are crucial for PLC networks. Moreover, data caching at specialized nodes such as edge servers brings forth efficient retrieving, storing and processing of data.In this work, we propose a distributed data caching scenario jointly based on edge server (ES) and edge devices (EDs) that are equipped with caching facility and are communicating via PLC in a remote area. We develop a framework to test the mutual collaboration between ES and EDs for content fetching to minimize the use of cloud resources and relieve the load on possibly congested PLC backhaul links. Results reveal that a collaborative caching would boost effective utilization of low bandwidth PLC links and the shift of most popular contents at user premises is crucial to improve socio-economic growth and digital learning platforms for unconnected part of the world

Solid state synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial studies of co(ii) and ni(ii) metal complexes with Schiff base derived from L-valine and vanillin

Two polynuclear metal complexes with general formula [Ni4L4(H2O)12].2H2O and [Co3L3(H2O)9].5H2O have been synthesized via solid state synthesis with Schiff base derived from vanillin and L-valine. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ESI-Mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and conductivity measurements. Data from experimental results showed that the ligand binds to two metal centers in a tridentate (N O O) manner through the imine nitrogen, phenolic and carboxylic oxygen respectively. Antimicrobial activities of the ligand and its corresponding metal complexes were investigated and found active  against some selected bacterial and fungal species.

Comparative Analysis of Some Efficient Data Security Methods among Cryptographic Techniques for Cloud Data Security

The concept of cloud computing model is to grant users access to outsource data from the cloud server without them having to worry about aspects of the hardware and software management. The owner of the data encrypts it before outsourcing to a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) server for effective deployment of sensitive data. Data confidentiality is a demanding task of cloud data protection. Thus, to solve this problem, lots of techniques are needed to defend the shared data. We focus on cryptography to secure the data while transmitting in the network. We deployed Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) used as encryption method for cloud data security, to encrypt the sensitive data which is to be transmitted from sender to receiver in the network and to decrypt so that the receiver can view the original data. Arrays of encryption systems are being deployed in the world of Information Systems by various organizations. In this paper, comparative analysis of some various encryption algorithms in cryptography have been implemented by comparing their performance in terms of stimulated time during Encryption and decryption in the network.
