ABSTRACT Honey has since been found to possess antibacterial property and is therefore employed for wound and gastro-intestinal disease therapy. This study evaluates the antibacterial spectrum and efficacy of honey and compared with tetracycline. Different concentrations (50, 75 and 100.0 %) of honey were studied in-vitro using Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp, Escherichia coli and Citrobacter spp. The data obtained showed the inhibitory action of honey with clear zones of inhibition...
Abstract The study addressed the Geology and geological structures around Kwal-Kanke area around the Jos plateau. Three (3) rock types namely; Quaternary dolerite/basic rocks, aplo-pegmatitic granite gneiss and migmatite-gneiss were delineated. The quaternary dolerites and the aplo-pegmatitic granite are emplaced in form of dykes with lateral extent greater than 3km trending NW-SE and conforms to the trend of the fractures around J...

ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to characterize some Portland cements (Bua, Dangote and Sokoto cement) sold in Sokoto city using standard methods; due to the persistent collapse of buildings. The results showed that Sokoto cement recorded the least CaO content (58.99%) while Dangote cement had the highest CaO content being 61.56%. All the samples have Al2O3, SiO2 and Fe2O3 contents within the acceptable limits with the exception of Dangote with SiO2 content being below the required stan...
