Controlling schistosomiasis with praziquantel: How much longer without aviable alternative?

Abstract The current approach of morbidity control of schistosomiasis, a helminth disease of poverty with considerable public health and socioeconomic impact, is based on preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel. There is a pressing need for new drugs against this disease whose control entirely depends on this single drug that has been widely used over the past 40 years. We argue that a broader anthelminthic approach supplementing praziquantel with new antischistosomals targeting different p...

Physico-chemical Parameter Review of Drinking Water Portability at Daranna Community, Bagudo LGA of Kebbi State, Nigeria

Drinking water quality was investigated at Daranna community the mineral rich part of Kaoje town in Kebbi state, to ensure the continuous supply of clean and safe drinking water for the public health protection. In this regard, a physical and chemical analysis of drinking water samples was carried out for samples collected at different locations within the community areas. A number of parameters such as colour, temperature, pH, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, COD, ...

Virtual Experiments in Metaverse

In this research paper we are introducing how virtual experiments work in metaverse one of the topic is as above : Smart Factory Using Virtual Reality and Online Multi-User: Towards a Metaverse for Experimental Frameworks                                                                                   Virtual reality (VR) has been brought closer to the general public over the past decade as it has become increasingly available for desktop and mobile p...

Vedas and Knowledge of our Ancestors: True origin of microbiology.

India is treasure of traditional Knowledge which has been disseminated through non-institutional means from generation to generation and is, for the most part, undocumented. However, the knowledge about microbial world by Indian Rishis presented in Sanskrit Shlokas or Suktas of our traditional manuscripts such as Vedas remained unseen. Before the invention of microscope modern science had little knowledge about the microbial biodiversity which is very clearly Presented in Vedas and Gita. ...

Vedic and Ancient Knowledge: Trends towards Life Sciences and medicinal microbiology.

Vedas are considered Ultimate Source of Knowledge and the most ancient written literature of the world. All great ancient thinkers and Philosophers. From Brahma down to Jaimini opine that the Vedas are as old as the advent of man and believe that the Vedas are Revelation. The natural outcome of the. Optimistic and robust outlook, which the ancient Indians had on life, was a keen desire to live a long and healthy life of a hundred years. They advocated the theory “Prevention is better tha...

Enumeration of Most Common Microbes Responsible for Tomatoes Spoilage

Abstract This study investigated the microorganisms associated with the spoilage of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) obtained from two markets in Jahun town, Jahun Local Government in Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of five species of bacteria were isolated and identified viz: Bacillus subtilis, B.aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The most prevalent bacterial isolate was Bacillus subtilis with 24% and was found in all samples from the two markets. Klebsi...

Adaptive E-learning System

Adaptive learning for individual learners has recently become popular in education. This study examines Adaptive E-learning system. Meanwhile, the purpose of this study is to examine if Adaptive E-learning system caters for the needs of students to personalize learning contents or materials tailored to the individual student. To achieve this, the descriptive research method was used. This study used an Adaptive E-learning System that is Google Classroom platform for learning Microsoft Excel. ...

Query Processing and Optimization in Distributed Database Systems

Summary  Query processing is an important concern in the field of distributed databases. The main problem is: if a query can be  decomposed into subqueries that require operations at geographically separated databases, determine the sequence and  the sites for performing this set of operations such that the operating cost (communication cost and processing cost) for  processing this query is minimized. The problem is complicated by the fact that query processing not only depends on th...

Adsorption Kinetics of Toxic Metals from Brewery Waste Water Using Adsorbent Prepared from Borassus aethiopum

A comparative study was carried out on the remediation of brewery effluent (Beff) using derived adsorbent (Untreated and treated) and commercial activated carbon. Preliminary study and characterization of the brewery effluent, derived adsorbent and commercial activated carbon was recorded, with result showing physico-chemical properties of the effluent falls within, lower and higher than discharge limit outlined by NESREA and WHO. Result of the physico-chemical and instrumental character...

Bioelectricity Production from Abattoir Wastewater Using Microbial Fuel Cells Connected in Series

In a bid to further study the possibility of producing bioelectricity from microbial fuel cell (MFC), this study aims at increasing the production of bioelectricity in abattoir wastewater. The wastewater from abattoir was used to construct three different microbial fuel cells and they were connected in series. The voltage of electricity produced was recorded over the period of three days. The physiochemical property of the wastewater was determined. Also the microorganisms present in t...

BIOELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FROM WASTEWATERS USING MICROBIAL FUEL CELL

Electricity supply in Nigeria has been a recurring decimal as huge amount of capital is involved. The aim of the study is to produce bioelectricity in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) from wastewaters. Wastewater from abattoir, fish pond, and stream were used to construct a microbial fuel cell and their physiochemical and microbiological properties were determined and the voltage of electricity produced was measured. Wastewaters were separately inoculated using pour plate to determine bacterial...

INCIDENCE OF ENTERIC BACTERIA IN MILLET GRUEL AND COW MILK (FURA DA NONO) SOLD IN BALI METROPOLIS

ABSTRACT Since it is very evident that it is almost impossible for the local producers to carryout quality assessment on locally produced food drinks such as Fura da nono, special attention needs to be paid to the hygiene procedures during the line of processing. In Bali metropolis of Taraba State, Nigeria, it was reported at a certain period of time in the year 2020 that some Fura da nono consumers (specifically the new migrants) came down with diarrhea after consumption. This led to this wo...

Comparative study of the anti-eczema and antifungal activities of Mitracarpus scaber with Sulphur ointments, Hydraulic fluid and Skineal on eczematous skin

Abstract Eczema, an atopic dermatitis is one of the most economically important skin disorder, therefore remedial attention needs to be given to it. Unlike the orthodox belief, eczema is a genetic disorder of the epidermis (filaggrin, CARD 11 or KIF3A gene mutation) not an infection, therefore, treatment must be targeted towards correcting this rather than targeting Candida albicans, the yeast that infects the eczematous skin as a result of environmental exposure. Currently, all types of chem...
