Removal Of Heavy Metal Ions From Waste Water Using A Groundnut Shell And Tea Bag As A Natural Adsorbent

ABSTRACT Sample of waste collected at Kanwuri Area Sokoto, was analyzed using a groundnut shell and tea bag as natural adsorbent, by adopting the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. And this research showed that groundnut shell and tea bag can be effectively used as an excellent adsorbent for the removal of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cr, from aqueous solution. This study also highlights the effect of different parameters such as, contact time, PH, adsorbent dose initial concentration of heav...

Antidiabetic Properties of Total Phenol Content of Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides Leaves on Albino Rats

ABSTRACT    In this study, we evaluated the effect of the total phenol extract of Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides leaves on oral glucose tolerance, lipid profile, liver function, oxidative stress parameters, and pancreas histopathology in diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in rats by administration of alloxan monohydrate in a dose of 130 mg/kg b/w. Total phenol content of Z. zanthoxyloides leaves was administered to rats at 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg b/w daily for 15 days. Blood glucose was measur...

ABSTRACT E-clearance system is an internet base research work that will help build an effective information management for schools. It is aimed at developing a computer software system that replaces the manual method of clearance for graduating students. The designed software will serve as a more reliable and effective means of undertaking students clearance, remove all forms of delay and stress as well as enable you to understand the procedure involved, as well as how to do your clearance o...

Design Of Sun Tracker For A PV System

ABSTRACT This project involves a design of sun tracker for PV system. The circuit of the sun tracker is designed in such a way that it follows the track of the sun as it travel in the sky. The LDR are connected to noninverter input of the operational amplifier whose reference voltage resistor R1 and R2 is 10Ω each. At the output of the operational amplifier are NPN and PNP transistor. These transistors are used to drive the DC motor in forward and backward directions which corresponds to t...

Modulatory Effects Of The Crude Methanol Leaf Extract Of Cissampelos Owariensis On Some Biochemical Parameters In Bleomycin-Induced Lung Fibrosis In Male Wistar Rats

ABSTRACT Antioxidants have been shown to play protective role in the treatment of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. The goal of the study was to determine the effect of Cissampelos owariensis (CO) leaves, an alkaloid rich antioxidant on BLM-induced lung fibrosis in rat models. The CO (UIH22559) leaves were extracted using methanol and fractionated using vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) to obtain the ethyl-acetate fraction (EAF) and methanol fraction (MEF). The active component of CME was de...

Decision Support System For Telecommunication Companies In Nigeria: (A Case Study Of Airtel Nigeria)

ABSTRACT The challenges faced by telecommunication industries are many, there is need to eliminate or curb some of these challenges and that is when a decision support system comes into play. A decision support system (DSS) is one which can aid to strategize management within industries to make vital decisions in relation to customer and network data. This enables managers in their areas within their industries to fully utilize the amount of data available to make decisions in relation to ut...

Design And Implementation Of An Online Outpatient Management System A Case Study Of Sokoto Specialist Hospital.

ABSTRACT Outpatient management systems in hospital today necessitate a competent administration when handling patients, generating reports, patient details which serves as a key factor for the flow of business transactions in Sokoto State Specialist Hospital. Unfortunately the current outpatient management system leads to misplacement of drug details, and late release of reports and insecurity to records. This research project is aimed at computerizing all the records about patients, staff a...

Rainfall And Temperature Anomalies At Sokoto 1991-2010

ABSTRACT This study examines the rainfall and temperature anomalies at Sokoto for the period 1991-2010. The data on monthly rainfall and temperature of Sokoto were collected from the Nigerian Metrological Agency (NIMET) Sultan Abubakar III International Airport. Sokoto respectively. Simple linear regression and coefficient (r) simple correlation analysis was used to fit the trend in annual rainfall amount, mean monthly temperature (minimum and maximum) for the period of the study. Data analy...

With the view of finding solutions to improve the situation at stake. Criteria used in selecting the schools were random selection technique in which five schools were selected from each of the two (2) local government areas of the Sokoto metropolis, namely (Sokoto North and Sokoto South respectively), as a sample for this research. Questionnaire was use...

Effect Of Two Kinds Of Solvent On Chemical Composition Of Cymbopogon Citratus Oil

ABSTRACT The experiment was designed to determine the effect of two different solvent (N-hexane and petroleum ether) on chemical composition of lemongrass oil. The oil was extracted from lemongrass using Nhexane and petroleum ether using soxhlet extraction method. The chemical composition of essential oil obtained were analyse using GC-MS machine. The result shows 4.4% of oil were obtained from lemongrass using N-hexane and 4.9% were obtained using petroleum ether. The composition analysed b...

Antinutritional Composition Of Securidaca Longepedunculata (Violet Tree)

ABSTRACT The antinutritional composition of leafs and stem bark s. longepedunculata were investigated using standard analytical methods. The leafs and stem bark of S. longepedunculata was air dried and the sample was pulverized for the determination of anti-nutritive contents. The antinutritional continents viz phytate, oxalate, nitrate and cyanide were determined in this investigation. Nitrate content was significantly (p

Framework For Adaptive Intrusion Detection System Using Naïve Bayes Recognition

ABSTRACT The goal of a network-based IDS is to identify malicious behavior that targets a network and its resources. Intrusion detection parameters are numerous and in many cases they present uncertain and imprecise causal relationships which can affect attack types. A Bayesian Network is known as graphical modeling tool used to model decision problems containing uncertainty. BN is used to build automatic intrusion detection system based on signature recognition. The research provides a fram...
