Abstract Development of improved methods for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles is of high priority for the advancement of material science and technology. Herein, starch-protected zero-valent copper (Cu) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by a novel facile route. The method is based on the chemical reduction in aqueous copper salt using ascorbic acid as reducing agent at low temperature (80 °C). X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spe...
The third trimester filled practical programme is an important programme designed by the university for development studies to equip students with practical skills and other standard of living. This first part of the field work is to help identify the problems of rural communities in the northern regions and in this instance TAPA ABOTOASE in the BIAKOYE district, in OTI Region and for that matter Ghana as whole. The third trimester filled practical programme (TTFPP) is a vital component of th...
This project work studied and compared the common protozoan parasites of Africa cat fish (Clarias gariepinus) from wild and cultured environment within Bauchi metropolis, a total of 48 samples of C. gariepinus comprising 24 each from both wild and cultured environment were examined for protozoan parasites and only 18 and 13 fishes were infected by protozoa parasites respectively. Ichthyophthirus multifiilis was the most common protozoan parasites found in C. gariepinus from the wild and Trich...
ABSTRACT In this research, majority of the students use mobile phones (smart phones)/laptops thus 55(40.44%) with 53(38.97%) using their smart phones as the main device for accessing the internet. The respondents also confirmed the internet has helped significantly improved their academic work or studies generally with all 136(100%) saying yes to the question with 131 students using the internet on a daily basis. 63 and 32 of the students spend averagely 1-5hours and 6-10hours on...
DERMATOPHYTE are unique of fungi that effect the Keratinous tissues of lower animals and human Dermatophytoses is the medical term for fungal infection of the superficial layer of the skin, nail, hair and scalp. The prevalence study Dermatophytoses in Wuntin Dada Primary School Bauchi is to determine the prevalence of the diseases, the different clinical types and actual species responsible for the infections. Out of 950 pupils examined, 105 children were found to be with suspected Dermat...
Microbiological tests revealed that Hibiscus sabdariffa plant extract has antibacterial properties thus verifying folklore medicine in the treatment of abscesses, bilious conditions, cough, dysuria and scurvy (Morton, 1987; Perry, 1980 Ross, 2003). The extraction type of aqueous generally had the same potency with cold extracts having a slightly better antimicrobial activity than hot aqueous ex...
ABSTRACT The present experiment aims at investigating the growth behaviour of different yeast strains inselected carbon, nitrogen and stress environment to obtain strains with prospects for industrialapplication. Specifically, the study is set to: isolate yeast from decaying mango fruit anddetermine growth performance of yeast strains in different environments, carbon, nitrogen andstressors. The procedure adopted in the study uses different ...
ABSTRACT In African folk medicine, water infusion of Mangifera indica stem bark are highly valued in thelocal treatment of malaria fever, diarrohea, diabetes mellitus and liver diseases. Various part ofthis plant can also be used in treatment of toothache, dysentery, anemia, hypertension andinsomnia in different parts of the world. This study was described to determine the activities ofthe stem bark extract of M.indica against some panel of bacterial...
ABSTRACT Plants have long been a source of nutrition and therapy to man. The medicinal value of these plants lies in some chemical substances that produce a definite physiological action in the human body. This study evaluated the oxytocic potential of methanol extract of Sida acuta on female albino rats in vitro. Oxytocin was used as a standard drug though it is a biochemically synthesized hormone that act on distant hormone receptor to induce contractions. The methanol extract was prepared...
ABSTRACT Viscosity is a property of a liquid and is defined as the resistance of a liquid toflow. This research is to determine the viscosities of motor oils (10w – 40w, 20w –50w), vegetable oil and honey using the fall sphere method. The viscosity of honeywith 4.44Ns/m2was found to be the highest and that of vegetable oil having a valueof 0.002861Ns/m2 is termed the lowest. The viscosities of motor oils (20W-50W )and (10W-40W) were found to be 0.00468Ns/m2 and 0.00374Ns/m2 respecti...
Credit card fraud has been a common theft process around the globe recently. This project looks into solving and minimizing the risk of credit card fraud using AI (Artificial Intelligence) models.
CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Bioactive plants are commonly used by traditional healers or in folklore medicines for the relief of pain or some alignments. This act of medication has made some plant families popular (Heinrich 2000; Kuete et al., 2006).The acceptance of traditional medicine as an alternative form of health care has assisted scientists in elevating these claims, by studying the chemical composition and biological potential (Bisignano et al., 1996; Hammer et al., 1999). This ...
ABSTRACT Lecithin is used for applications in human food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, paints, and other industrial applications, but consistent importation of lecithin has a negative effect on foreign exchange leading to devaluation of the naira. The need to explore locally available products such as cassava starch as a possible substitute to the use of lecithin is paramount, hence, the reason for this work. This research was carried out to evaluate the emulsification properties of�...
