Prevalence of Hepatitis B serological markers among HIV infected patients

Abstract Abstract Background: Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is defined as serologically undetectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg-ve), despite the presence of circulating HBV DNA (Allain, 2005). It has been documented that one of the frequent complications of HIV infection is hepatitis B co-infection and due to the common methods of transmission of these two viruses, the incidence rate of co-infection is increasing (Chen et al., 2011) Objective: To determine the prevalence of HBV s...

Assessment of Alpha and Beta Radioactivity Pollution of Main Water Supplies in Dutsinma Metropolis

ABSTRACT The gross alpha and beta radioactivity pollution of main water supplies in Dutsinma metropolis were measured using proportional gas counter. The results show that the gross alpha radioactivity in water samples is lower than the maximum contaminant level of 0.1Bq/L set by World Health Organization (WHO). The measured alpha activities have a minimum of 0.001±0.0.003 and the maximum of 0.146±0.034 Bq/L with mean of 0.029±0.002 Bq/L. The gross beta radioactivity in water samples is h...

Investigating The Presence Of Staphylococcus Aureus And Escherichia Coli In Dairy Products

INTRODUCTION Dairy products are various products derived from cow’s milk or that of other female mammals such as goat, sheep, yaks, horses, camel. Dairy products include yoghurt, nono (fermented cow’s milk, madara (unfermented cow’s milk, cheese, whey, condensed and evaporated milk.) (cultureforhealth, 2015). Yoghurt, nono, Madara has become so highly valued in humans diet because of their nutritional values and their culinary possibilities (George and pamplon, 2006) Yoghurt is ma...

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

Open-Source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative public manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open-content movements. The open-...

Lupus Outbreak in Nigeria

Systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which tissues andcells undergo damage mediated by tissue binding auto-antibodies and immune complexes(McGraw, 2005).General findings include a much higher incidence in women estimated to be up to10-12 times than in men. The highest incidence is between 15 and 44 years of  age.(Academic press, 1999)  It, therefore, means that as much as ninety percent of patientsare women of childbearing age. Incidence of SLE has been studied in g...

SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY

Sixth Sense Technology is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cell phone—which acts as the computer and connected to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures. The camera recognizes objects around a person instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on any surface, including the object itself or hand.

PARASITIC COMPUTING

Parasitic computing is programming technique where a program in normal authorized interactions with another program manages to get the other program to perform computations of a complex nature. It is, in a sense, a security exploit in that the program implementing the parasitic computing has no authority to consume resources made available to the other program. The example given by the original paper was two computers communicating over the Internet, under disguise of a standard communication...

Application of Nented Design on the Effect of Feeds and Seasonal Variation on Dairy Milk Yield (A Case Study of Napri Shika, ABU Zaria)

ABSTRACT The present study was conducted at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of feeds (cotton seed cake, yeast supplement, cow milking ration) and seasonal variation (dry and rainy season) on dairy milk yield. A total of 21 mid lactation cows were fed with cotton seed cake, yeast supplement and cow milking ration in the two seasons respectively   and   the   volume   of   milk   produced   by   each   cow   was  recorded  �...

A genetic model for Test Data Generation

The use of metaheuristic search technique for generation of test data has been a burgeoning interest for many researchers in recent times. There has been a previous attempt to automate the test data generation process has been limited, having been constrained by the size and complexity of software, and the fundamental facts that in totality test data generation is an undecideable problem. Metaheuristic search technique is high level frameworks, which utilizes heuristic to seek solution for co...

Design of DNA Based Biometric Security System for Examination Conduct

ABSTRACT  Biometrics is a technique of using characteristics and behavioral traits for identification of people this is more effective that common personal identification number(PIN) for an improved security technique. The basic procedure in a biometric system is the collection of biometric data through a sensor elements, the module extracted bares biometric data which is compared to its templates in a database to identify the data subject. In this work, the design of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic a...

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR STUDENT REGISTRATION

ABSTRACT This project was centered on database management system for student registration system. The current process of registration is being operated manually and due to this procedure numerous problem are been encountered. A design was taken to computerized the manual process in order to check this problem. The problems were identified after series of interviews and examination of documents after which analysis was made and a computerized procedure recommended. This project will also sugg...

ANATOMY AND WATER PURIFICATION POTENTIALS OF SEEDS OF MORINGA OLEIFERA

This study focused on elucidating the anatomy of Moringa oleifera seed and developing an efficient and cost effective procedure for using Moringa oleifera seeds to produce natural coagulant for use in drinking water treatment. The study investigates processing Moringa oleifera seeds to concentrate the bio-active constituents which have coagulation activity. It is generally accepted that Moringa works as a coagulant due to positively charged, water-soluble proteins, which bind with negatively ...

ISOLATION OF SERRATIA MARCESCENS FROM THE SOIL AND INVITRO PRODIGIOSIN PRODUCTION AS SOURCE OF ANTIBIOTIC, ACTIVE AGAINST OXACILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

  ABSTRACT This research work involve the isolation of two isolates titled RMN1 and RMN2, belonging to the Genus Serratia  from two soil samples collected from the following two strategic locations in university of Abuja, permanent site: Termite hill besides Girls hostel dump ground and from Faculty of Agricultural Science farm land. The isolates were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore colour, aerial and substrate mycelium formation and production of diffusible pigment. Isolat...
