Abstracts Evaluation of anthropogenically enhanced naturally occurring radionuclides 238U, 232Th and 40K present in Lagos beach sediment (Eleko and Elegushi) were analyzed with gamma ray spectrometer using a highly shielded NaI (TI) detector with the objective of evaluating the environmental radiological hazard. Mineralogical analysis and characterization was also carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Heavy metals such as Pb, C...

ABSTRACT Aeromagnetic data over some part of the Chad Basin, Nigeria was analyzed. The aeromagnetic anomaly map, its qualitative and quantitative interpretation helped in identifying the nature and depth of the magnetic sources in the study region. The regional-residual separation was performed with a first order polynomial using oasis montaj software. The residual data obtained was contoured into 3-D maps and this revealed two prominent magnetic anomaly source intensities; the low freque...
Abstract: A solar cell or photovoltaic is a device which directly converts photon or solar light or sunlight into electricity. Radiation (Light shining) on the solar cell produces both a current and a voltage which create electric power in most solar panel. This process requires a Material Medium in which the absorption of photon raises an electron to a higher energy state, and the motion of this excited energy electron from the solar cell into an external circuit. The electron then dissi...

ABSTRACT Roadside soil samples were obtained from Eka Street, Oron Road, Ikot Ekpene Road and Nwaniba Road within Uyo metropolis, Akwa Ibom State. Roadside soils were also obtained from Uwana Lane and used as Control. These samples and Control were analysed for the concentration of Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn) and Iron using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) unicam 939 model. Results obtained indicated the following mean concentration (mg/kg) for metals in roadsi...
ABSTRACTThe internet has been a platform for individuals, groups of people and companies to interact with one another through the social media. The social media has truly aided interaction and even other business services through social networks, forums, blogs, etc. Forums are now been used as tools/platforms to create discussions, connect to people (mostly of similar interests) and as sources of relevant information. This work intends to make use of forums as tools in help...
COMPUTER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Over the years computer has been useful to modern day technology. Computer science and technology is one of the fastest career in modern day, this have improved humans beyond immeasurable doubts. Computer science and technology have developed through mechanical and electrical engineering technology with the basis of mathematical language analysis. For example earliest computers were bassically mechanically oriented but modern day computer have become more elect...

Abstract: An investigation on the activities of amylase, cellulase and pectinase from Bacillus and Aspergillus species isolated from stale fast food samples was carried out. The freshly prepared samples were of Mince pie, Scotch egg, Doughnuts, Sausages and Fishrolls obtained from fast food centres in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. The Bacillus isolates were identified as Bacillus subtills, Bacillus pumilus, Bacilus licheniformis, Bacillus polymyxa and Bacillus brevis. All the isolated bacilli str...
ABSTRACT Current soil management strategies are mainly dependent on inorganic chemical-based fertilizers, which caused a serious threat to human health and environment. The exploitation of beneficial microbes as a biofertilizer has become paramount importance in agriculture sector for their potential role in food safety and sustainable crop production. The eco-friendly approaches inspire a wide range of application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), endo- and ectomycorrhizal f...
ABSTRACT This work was done to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus among cattle in Owerri, Imo State. A total of twenty four (24) samples were collected which were cultured on appropriate bacteriological media. The Staphylococcus aureus isolates were identified by standard biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility profile of the isolates was performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Out of the 24 sample...
The greatest problem consumers encounter with soy milk remains its very short shelf life due to microbial activity. The combination of different preservation methods may just be the solution to the problem. The synergistic effect of citric acid and sodium benzoate preservatives at various concentrations within their maximum permissible levels along with pasteurization, on the microbial keeping quality of home- made soy milk stored at ambient temperature was therefore, studied. This is with ...
Abstract Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that allows modern diagnostics and treatments cancer using radiopharmaceuticals original radiotracers (drugs linked to a radioactive isotope). Radiopharmaceuticals are considered a special group of drugs and thus their preparation and use are regulated by a set of policies that have been adopted by individual member of countries. The radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic examinations are administered in very small doses. So, in general, t...
ABSTRACT A drastic change in the perception of electric energy . But at the same time there is misreading of FREE ENERGY. Energy becomes free only at a point after which we don’t have to pay for power generation after hiring the unit. By using the magnetic force of magnets continuous motion (Energy) is made. This magnet also produces a magnetic field, so both the magnetic fields repel each other (like poles repel), which reasons the fins to move. The free Energy Generator was mounted ins...
