Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Baobab fruit pulp on the physicochemical and microbiological properties of yoghurt made from camel milk and cow milk. Yoghurt was made from camel milk and cow milk with Baobab fruit pulp (5g/L, 10g/L, 15g/L, and 20g/L). Starter culture was added at rate of 3 % (v: v) and stored for 10 days at 4ᵒC. Physicochemical and microbial (acidity, pH, total solids, solids not fat, ash, protein, Fat, lactose, moisture, crude fiber, synere...
Abstract This study was carried out to assess the effect of hemodialysis on iron and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with renal failure. Sixty samples were collected from patients in period between April to May 2015, chosen randomly from Association specialized hospital in Khartoum states, and thirty apparently healthy individuals as controls. Measure plasma iron and CRP by using Hitachi/cobas C311 system, and results were analyzed using statistical of package social science (SPSS), comp...
Abstract A biofuel is a fuel that produced through contemporary biological processes such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes. It can be derived directly from plants or indirectly from agriculture or industrial waste. Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, it is produced from sugar or starch crops such as corn, sugar cane or sweet sorghum. Biodiesel and ethanol can be used as fuel for vehicles in its pure form but it is usually u...
Abstract Nowadays, ZnO is considered as the most important chemical compounds due their distinctive properties owing to its wide band gab and large exciton binding energy. It is well known that the structural and the optical properties of ZnO differ by different methods of preparation. Therefore, in this work, ZnO power was prepared by two methods, namely sol-gel and combustion method with the aim of comparison. The obtained samples from both methods were investigated by many techniques for c...
ABSTRACT Flood is one of the most destruction natural hazards which lead to the loss of lives, properties and resources. It has therefore become important to create easily read, rapidly accessible flood hazard map, which will prioritize the reduction effects . This paper addresses the need for an efficient and cost-effective methodology for preparing floodhazard maps in part of Khartoum statethrough drawing a map showing the flooded areas on either side of the White Nile to the four zones: - ...
ABSTRACT Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) occurs worldwide with more than 2 billion people being infected at some time in their lives. Transmission of this virus from carrier mothers to babies can occur during perinatal period. This study was conducted to determine prevalence of HBV infection among pregnant women in Rea Sea State. The study was carried out during the period from April to July 2017. A total of ninety one (n=91) pregnant women were enrolled in this study. Sociodemographic data including...
Abstract A diagnostic reference level (DRL) is an investigational level used to identify unusual high radiation doses in Nuclear Medicine procedures. DRLs are suggested action levels above which a facility should review its methods and determine if acceptable image quality can be achieved at lower doses. The high specific activity of 99mTc makes it suitable as a first pass agent, for multiple or sequential studies. Is preferred to 99mTc - pertechnetate. A certain amount of radiopharmaceutical...
Abstract Introduction: One of the most serious issues in medicine is increasing resistance of Gram negative bacilli to antimicrobial agents especially broad spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems and colistins. This fact is associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates, prolonged hospital stays and increased treatment related costs.Medicinal plants appeared to be the best alternative source for new antimicrobial drugs.. Nigella sativa is an herbaceous plant whose seeds have beenused ...
ABSTRACT Cloud computing offers an innovative business model for all cloud enterprises to serve IT services with no need to have technical details. The extreme growth of cloud usage increases the probability of threats occurrence, which in turn leads to financial and other losses. So there is a need to use appropriate metrics to assess the failure cost among cloud stakeholders according to their different needs; we propose a measure called “Mean Failure Cost” (MFC) which quantifies the im...
Introduction: Prevalence of resistant microbial strains is increasing with time; due to the extensive and indiscriminate use of the broad spectrum antimicrobial drugs that render the current used antimicrobial agents insufficient to control some microbial infections. Objective: The present study was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of methanolic extract of the medicinal plant Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Method: The agar well diffusion technique was used to determin...
ABSTRACT The study was to access the role of electronic media in recording and updating criminals across the nation as a whole. Using Central Police Station as a case study, the objectives of the study were to provide ways how the Police could keep/store records of criminals across the country, to identify media programs that enable a police officer to record a criminal into a very secure database management system throughout the entire country. The research was carried out through both theor...

Abstract This study is aimed at determining the concentration of gold in the gold ore in lujinjimubende district. Currently investing in gold mining is taken as a riskyinvestmentbecause people are not sure of the concentration of gold in lujinji and also the depth where gold concentration is high. The results of this research gave the concentration of gold in lujinji and also the depth of high concentration from the surface, which eased the mining activity by extracting gold at a known height...
