Ion Channel Fluctuations in Single Cell Current Profiles

The transmembrane proteins known as ion channels play a role in controlling and preserving the ionic concentrations across the cell membrane. Modeling the flux of ions in and out of these channels on an atomic level is essential for understanding several neurological diseases and related pharmaceutical discoveries. Recent experimental research has provided information on the channel's physical structure which can be used to create realistic ion transport models. Different trajectories exist f...

Amplitude Modulated Channels for Sorting Parasitic Worms

This paper looks at a movement-based assay to analyze adaptability in Caenorhabditis elegans locomotion behavior. A series of sinusoidal microchannels of fixed wavelength and varying amplitude, with the width being similar to the body diameter of the organism, are used for this purpose. The worms are allowed to enter the channel from the input and transition towards the output port. In sections that are similar to the worms' undulations, the movement is fast and steady. However, as the channe...

Bacteria and Fungi Involved in Yogurt Production

ABSTRACT Yogurt sold at different manufacturer, in Ilorin Kwara State was taken to the laboratory and examined, different bacteria and fungi were found in all the yoghurt tested using conventional methods. The implications of these micro organisms were discussed. 

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites on Fruits Available in Post – Office Ilorin, Kwara – State, Nigeria

  ABSTRACT The study to determine the parasitological contamination of fruits was carried out in post office Ilorin, three different types of fruits were sampled and all were infected with helminths eggs. Using sedimentation analysis. This suggests the existence of a great risk of acquiring intestinal parasites by eating improperly washed fruits.
