Field relationship, petrographical studies and geochemical analysis were combined in investigating the depositional environment and industrial viability of limestone beds in Purechem’s quarry at Onigbedu. Field observation indicates a homogenous lithology of the beds with variation in textural and clastic composition. Petrographic study revealed that the limestone falls under the Biospamicrite and Wackestone classification based on the works of Folks, (1959) and Dunham, (1962) respectively....
African yam bean (Sphenostylisstenocarpa) is an underutilized food legume crop in the tropics that is not as popular as other food legumes crop (Moyib et al., 2008). It is one of the neglected indigenous grain legumes in Nigeria. It is produced mostly in the eastern part of the country where it is consumed in different forms such as snacks, delicacy, man meal etc. It can be used for the fortification of other foods (Eke, 1997) The high protein content of African yam bean makes it an important...
ABSTRACT The present study investigated the ameliorative properties of Diospyroschloroxylon (methanolic) leaf extract (DCLE) in liver of rats intoxicated with N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Antioxidant markers- Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation were assayed spectrophotometrically. DNA fragmentation was determined spectrophotometrically. The Bcl-2, Ki-67 and ...
Immunomodulatory Potentials of Ethanolic Leaf Extract of Phyllantus amarus in Wistar Rats Abstract The immunomodulatory effect of the ethanolic leaf extract of Phyllantus amarus on wistar rats was investigated. Twenty eight (28) male animals were used for the study. The animals were divided into four (4) groups of seven (7) animals each. Group 1 was the normal control and received distilled water, animals in group 2 were given low dose (7.1 mg/kgBW) of the extr...
ABSTRACT Food poisoning is one of the common health problems globally especially in African countries usually due to the inability to enforce food safety principles. When disease-causing bacteria, viruses or parasites contaminate food, they can cause food- related diseases. Such a bacterium, virus or parasite is known as pathogen. Food poisoning is the diseases caused by these pathogens when a contaminated food or drink is consumed. Other contaminants include natural occurring toxins and he...
ABSTRACT This study was carried out to isolate, characterize and identify Aeromonas spp. from Irrigation water and vegetables. Water and vegetable samples were collected and analyzed for physicochemical and microbiological analysis. Physicochemical parameters such as pH, Temperature, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen and Biological Oxygen Demand were determined using standard methods for water samples only. Microbiological parameters such as Total Coliform count (TC), Faecal ...

ABSTRACT Tinea pedis, a fungal infection of the feet, especially within the toe webs and soles was studied using 40 soldiers (20men and 20women) as a case study. This infection is related to footwear having been considered to be a new dermatophytoses. The soldiers have the toe webs and soles cleaned with alcohol or sterile water and the lesions scrapped with sterile scalpel and placed between two glass slides with a drop of 10-20% kOH and then viewed under microscope. Branched hyp...
ABSTRACT Research works in the field of electronic learning are represented by a broad spectrum of applications, ranged from virtual classrooms to remote courses or distance learning. In this project work I propose a simple web-based e-learning system, in which, students can carry out their registration process, get access to course materials and make contact with their course lecturers. In addition, teachers can track the activities of their students and can guide them to reach the pre-deter...
ABSTRACT In Nigeria and particularly in Zaria city of Kaduna state, open dumping is still the most common household waste disposal method/practice. This type of practice is un hygienic and environmentally unfriendly. This research is aimed at effective household waste management practices in the study area. The research found that there are some other types of management or disposal method in practice in the study area, these include the use of packing and burning, dumping in pits outside the...
PREFACE The concept of Natural Water Hardness has been a subject of much discussion since the exception of the natural science unit. It borders on the sources of water hardness, types of hard water and effects of hard water. Pollution on the other hand is an environmental problem which needs to be tackled. This term paper writes more on it. Water cycle, treatment and uses are also discussed in the term paper. TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page Dedication Acknowledgment Preface Table of ...

After this the reader shall endevour to read the importance of electricity, in this the advantage and disadvantage shall be discussed. Chapter four points the electrical safety in the home which is the main purpose of writing this paper, learner or readers shall 1 come at home with ...
Healthy mature seeds of bambara groundnut (Voandzeia subterranea Thouars), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), cattle bone, roselle calyces (Hibiscus sabdariffa), red palm oil, yellow maize (Zea mays), and “achi†(Brachystegia eurycoma), were purchased from Ogige market, Nsukka, Nigeria. Methods The processing methods was based on the methods of Uvere et al., (2010). Production of maize-bambara and maize-cowpea food blends The maize, bambara groundnut and cowpea seeds were cleaned by win...
ABSTRACTS Some compounds have been proposed as analytical reagents for the spectrophotometric determination of chromium, tin and lead ions. The application of these reagents for the determination of these metal ions is listed and several procedures are described to illustrate the fundamental conditions for the spectrophotometric determination of these metal ions. Key words: Analytical reagents, chromium, tin, lead, spectrophotometric determination, extraction, complexes. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Ch...
