DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SOCIAL MEDIA BASED WEB APPLICATION FOR PROSPECTIVE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

            ABSTRACTThe internet has been a platform for individuals, groups of people and companies to interact with one another through the social media. The social media has truly aided interaction and even other business services through social networks, forums, blogs, etc. Forums are now been used as tools/platforms to create discussions, connect to people (mostly of similar interests) and as sources of relevant information. This work intends to make use of forums as tools in help...

Importance of computer and information science

COMPUTER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Over the years computer has been useful to modern day technology. Computer science and technology is one of the fastest career in modern day, this have improved humans beyond immeasurable doubts. Computer science and technology have developed through mechanical and electrical engineering technology with the basis of mathematical language analysis. For example earliest computers were bassically mechanically oriented but modern day computer have become more elect...

An investigation on the activities of amylase, cellulase and pectinase from Bacillus and Aspergillus species isolated from stale fast food sample

Abstract: An investigation on the activities of amylase, cellulase and pectinase from Bacillus and Aspergillus species isolated from stale fast food samples was carried out. The freshly prepared samples were of Mince pie, Scotch egg, Doughnuts, Sausages and Fishrolls obtained from fast food centres in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. The Bacillus isolates were identified as Bacillus subtills, Bacillus pumilus, Bacilus licheniformis, Bacillus polymyxa and Bacillus brevis. All the isolated bacilli str...

BIOFERTILIZER: A KEY TO SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

ABSTRACT Current soil management strategies are mainly dependent on inorganic chemical-based fertilizers, which caused a serious threat to human health and environment. The exploitation of beneficial microbes as a biofertilizer has become paramount importance in agriculture sector for their potential role in food safety and sustainable crop production. The eco-friendly approaches inspire a wide range of application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), endo- and ectomycorrhizal f...

ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Staphylococcus aureus IN CATTLE

ABSTRACT        This work was done to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus among cattle in Owerri, Imo State. A total of twenty four (24) samples were collected which were cultured on appropriate bacteriological media. The Staphylococcus aureus isolates were identified by standard biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility profile of the isolates was performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Out of the 24 sample...

EFFECT OF ADDITION OF CITRIC ACID AND SODIUMBENZOATE ON THE KEEPING QUALITY OF SOYMILK

The greatest problem consumers encounter with soy milk remains its very short shelf life due to microbial activity. The combination of different preservation methods may just be the solution to the problem. The synergistic  effect of citric acid and sodium benzoate preservatives at various concentrations within their maximum permissible levels along with pasteurization, on the microbial keeping quality of home- made soy milk stored at ambient temperature was therefore, studied. This is with ...

THE IMPORTANCE OF USING RADIOTRACER IN DIAGNOSING CANCER Review

 Abstract Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that allows modern diagnostics and treatments cancer using radiopharmaceuticals original radiotracers (drugs linked to a radioactive isotope).  Radiopharmaceuticals are considered a special group of drugs and thus their preparation and use are regulated by a set of policies that have been adopted by individual member of countries. The radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic examinations are administered in very small doses. So, in general, t...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF PERMENEMT MAGNET FREE ENERGY GENERATOR RESEARCH PAPER

ABSTRACT  A drastic change in the perception of electric energy . But at the same time there is misreading of FREE ENERGY. Energy becomes free only at a point after which we don’t have to pay for power generation after hiring the unit. By using the magnetic force of magnets continuous motion (Energy) is made. This magnet also produces a magnetic field, so both the magnetic fields repel each other (like poles repel), which reasons the fins to move. The free Energy Generator was mounted ins...

Bacteriological analysis of flooded soil in Benin areas, Edo State

ABSTRACT  Microorganisms are important components in the structure and function of  organic matter in soil, hence this work was done to identify bacterial communities  present in flooded soil. Soil samples were collected from eight different areas  within Benin metropolis, Edo State, Nigeria. The samples were cultured on using  pour plate method, identification of the main bacterial groups was carried out  based on cultural, morphology and biochemical test. The results obtained showed ...

EVALUATION OF THE CONCENTRATION OF SOME METALS (Pb,Zn,Mg,Fe) IN DIETARY RED PALM OIL PRODUCED IN SOME LGA IN ABIA STATE

Palm oil has been part of human diet for more than 5000 years. Nigeria is currently the fifth world’s leading producer of palm oil (Nnorom, 2012). The palm oil industry is a major agro based enterprise in Nigeria especially in the southern part where palm oil trees are found both in the wild land plantations (Nwaugo et al., 2008). For generations, it has been revered as both a nutritious food and a valuable medicine. However, care should be taken to evaluate the purity and safety of this nu...

Surfactant Assisted Production of Graphene

Graphene has attracted world-wide attention due to its intriguing set of properties. However, the production of graphene on the bulk scale remains a significant challenge which is limiting its uptake in applications, particularly composites. The exfoliation of graphene in solvents using ultrasonic energy is the most promising approach to-date for the large scale production of graphene flakes. The process relies on a good interaction between the graphene and the solvent used. This interac...

Mycotoxins Food Production and Exportation in Nigeria

ABSTRACT  Mycotoxins are low-molecular weight secondary metabolites produced by fungi, mostly of the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. They are noncritical to the instantaneous survival of the organism, and mostly affect its long-term survival. Fungal growth is enhanced by the warm, humid atmosphere and organic substrate-rich soil, such as exists in Nigeria, and they massively infect Nigerian plants and livestock. One consequence is reduced agricultural yield, which leads to food short...

Effect of Monosodium glutamate on the ovaries of female sprawgle-dawley rats

ABSTRACT                                            Keywords  Monosodium glutamate; histopathology; female infertility; ovaries: sprague- dawley rats Fear  has  increased  in  recent  years,  due  to  the  adverse  reactions  and  toxicity  of monosodium  glutamate  (MSG)  which  is  commonly  used  as  a  food  additive  and there  is  growing  concern  that  this  may  play  a  critical  role  in  both  male  and  female infertil...
