ABSTRACT Pepper (Capsicum spp) belongs to the family Solanaceae. It is an important vegetable crop in Nigeria as it is one of the most varied and widely used foods in Nigeria as virtually every Nigerian home consumes it on a daily basis. The genus Capsicum represents a diverse plant group and includes twenty-seven species; five domesticated and twenty-two undomesticated (Bosland, 1993). The domesticated species are Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum ...
ABSTRACT Honey has since been found to possess antibacterial property and is therefore employed for wound and gastro-intestinal disease therapy. This study evaluates the antibacterial spectrum and efficacy of honey and compared with tetracycline. Different concentrations (50, 75 and 100.0 %) of honey were studied in-vitro using Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp, Escherichia coli and Citrobacter spp. The data obtained showed the inhibitory action of honey with clear zones of inhibition...
Abstract The study addressed the Geology and geological structures around Kwal-Kanke area around the Jos plateau. Three (3) rock types namely; Quaternary dolerite/basic rocks, aplo-pegmatitic granite gneiss and migmatite-gneiss were delineated. The quaternary dolerites and the aplo-pegmatitic granite are emplaced in form of dykes with lateral extent greater than 3km trending NW-SE and conforms to the trend of the fractures around J...
Citrullus lanatus is medicinal plants believed to have many agents acting in different ways for the health benefits of human. This study investigated the acute phytochemical contents and effect of the methanol extract on weight changes, relative organ weight, hematological parameters and biomarkers of prostate dysfunction. The result indicated the presence of alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, Reducing sugar, tannins and phenols. Acute toxicity studies showed that the extract was safe at 5000mg...
Abstract : The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M H2SO4 solution by Jatropha tanjorensis leaf extract (JTLE) has been studied using weight loss and hydrogen evolution techniques. The results obtained reveal that JTLE effectively inhibited the corrosion of mild steel in H2SO4 solution. The highest inhibition efficiency of 89.73% occurred at 5.0 g/L JTLE concentration at 333K by weight loss measurements. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in JTLE concent...

I can still remember my expression and feeling when we were asked to show that sup(A + B) = sup(A) + sup(B). It was an herculean task because the concept was too difficult to grasp with the use of approximation property until I discovered an easy route. In a bid to restrict my papers to just few pages, I will focus more on examples than theorems.
ABSTRACT Solid waste management over the years has been a serious problem on the nation Ghana. This solid waste materials are generated by humans in the cities and municipalities of almost all developing countries. In this country, it is one of the most pressing concerns of the government because of the health problems that comes with it when not managed well. In most countries locating a suitable site for the construction of landfills is not easy. With the invention of the Geograp...
ABSTRACT The comparative evaluation of the bacterial and fungal diseases associated with Saccharum officinarum (Sugarcane) in ethnobotanical garden of Wesley University, Ondo was carried out through different microbial processes. The objectives of this work were to comparatively evaluate bacterial and fungal diseases associated with sugarcane in rainy and dry seasons, isolation and identification of bacterial and fungal diseases associated with sugarcane and development of disease inventory a...

ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to characterize some Portland cements (Bua, Dangote and Sokoto cement) sold in Sokoto city using standard methods; due to the persistent collapse of buildings. The results showed that Sokoto cement recorded the least CaO content (58.99%) while Dangote cement had the highest CaO content being 61.56%. All the samples have Al2O3, SiO2 and Fe2O3 contents within the acceptable limits with the exception of Dangote with SiO2 content being below the required stan...
Aim: To assess the association between single infection and co-infection status of the twoparasites with hematologic profiles in school children.Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was carried out on a total of 202 schoolchildren between ages 6-18 years (mean age 11.5 ± 2.6 years). Urine and blood sampleswere collected by standard methods for concurrent microscopic diagnosis of Schistosomahaematobium and Plasmodium falciparum infections respectively. The following hematologicp...
AbstractObjective: To correlate the levels of bladder tumour antigen (BTA) with aflatoxin M1 (AFM) in a humanpopulation in Nigeria.Subjects and methods: A pilot, observational study was conducted with 22 human subjects randomlyrecruited from a Nigerian rural community. Serum and first morning urine of participants were analysedfor human BTA and AFM1, respectively, using quantitative ELISA assays.Results: All the subjects were positive to AFM1 (mean= 0.235± 0.072 ng/mL) while 19 were positi...
