PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF CRUDE ROOT AND STEM BARK OF Lannea acida

                ABSTRACT Lannea acida is a plant known to have various medicinal and therapeutic properties. The  phytochemicals or secondary metabolites and antibacterial activity of its root and stem bark were  studied in this research work. The phytochemical screening of the plant was carried out using  standard methods of analysis and these investigations revealed the presence of bioactive  components comprising flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, gly...

USE OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATIONS IN HIGHER LEARNING BY PROSPECTIVE COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHERS IN ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA UNIVERSITY, BAUCHI

Abstract This study investigated the use of open source application in higher learning by prospective computer teachers. Colleges and universities are increasingly aware of the necessity to use technology to meet both the business and academic mission of the institution. Often, open source software (OSS) and Free Source Software (FSS) are seen as viable options for meeting these challenges. Many Institutions are recognizing the importance of the interplay or overlap between FSS and OSS as...

Adsorption efficiency of coconut husk for removal of Rhodamine-B dye from aqueous solution

ABSTRACT The efficiency of acid modified locust bean pod (ALBP) as low cost adsorbent to remove  Rhodamine-B (Rh-B) dye from aqueous solution was studied. The morphology, functional groups and  elemental analysis of the adsorbent were investigated by SEM, FTIR, pH (pzc), and Boehm titration analytical techniques. Operational parameters such as contact time, initial dye concentration and solution temperature  were investigated. The amount of Rh-B dye adsorbed was found to increase as these ...

A GEOELECTRIC SURVEY OF UNDERGROUNDWATER AT AL-QALAM UNIVERSITY KATSINA CLINIC USING VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDING

ABSTRACT Electrical resistivity method employing vertical electrical sounding was carried out in September, 2018 with aim to investigate favorable area for good groundwater potential. Four points were selected around the University clinic and female hostel for vertical electrical sounding (VES) using schlumberger configuration. Maximum current electrode separation of 160m to 200m was used. The investigation was carried out using Terrameter Allied Ohmega. The survey was able to investigate gro...

Design and Implementation of an Online Payroll Management System

ABSTRACT Payroll is a critical operation for every organization to pay employee accurately their salary and enrolments on time. The idea of taking control of employees pay calculations are quite tedious if done manually and require more effort and time mainly for big organizations. Hence if this process is automated, it would be of great benefit as it would require less time to calculate the salary of the employees. This system provides multiple user data access. Each user like employee or HR...

Evaluation of the phytochemical composition and antimicrobial activity of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) against some human pathogenic microorganisms

ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance has become a wide spread problem. The efficacy of two solvent extracts of Cymbopogon citratus against some test bacteria and fungi was evaluated. The test bacteria was; Staphylococcus aureus, and the test fungi was; Candida albicans. The phytochemical properties and the antimicrobial potency of Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) against selected microbial pathogens using chloroform and methanol as extracting solvents were assessed. The minimum inhibitory, bacteri...
