ABSTRACT The study was carried out to determine the effect of drying methods on the nutrient contents of Moringa oleifera at the Agric. Chemical Laboratory (Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto) and The Energy Research Field of Sokoto Energy Center, Sokoto. Fresh leaves were collected and cleaned then dried using different drying methods viz. shade drying, solar drying, oven drying and sun drying. The treatments were analyzed for proximate and mineral contents using standard methods. Sta...
ABSTRACT The starches of corms and cormels of red and white cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta) varieties, cassava (Manihot esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomea batata), bitter yam (Dioscorea dumentorum) and water yam (Dioscorea alata) were extracted. Their proximate compositions, physicochemical properties, mineral compositions and antinutrient contents were analyzed. The results of the proximate analysis (pWCCM (corms of white cocoyam)>WYAM>SPOTA>WCCL >RCCL (cormels of red cocoyam)>CASS. The darkest ...

African trypanosomosis is a vector-borne disease that is caused by a flagellated protozoon of the genus Trypanosoma. Large populations of human and domestic animals are at risk of infections with trypanosomes in vast areas of sub-Saharan Africa where the disease is endemic. Human infections with trypanosomes are referred to as Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) while animal infections are known as African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT). These infections are more prevalent in the rural areas (Ato...
ABSTRACT This work presents an intelligent system for fault diagnosis for automobiles. The main goal of this work is to use the vast knowledge previously acquired from human experts by system experts, to visualize, localize and fix a fault in a car. The project is motivated by the need to guide car owners and motor mechanics in the maintenance and troubleshooting of motor problems without having to resort to assumptions. A rule-based artificial intelligence (AI) technique was used to establ...
