Health related quality of life is one of the growing subjects used for evaluating health conditions among patients who suffer from specific ailment.It has been assumed that identification of the variables is able to mirror the one's general health conditions.However,formulating the extent of contribution is multiple variable towards overall health conditions is not straight forward as the arbitrary nature of HRQL variables.This paper aims to model the relationship between HRQL variables using...
ABSTRACT In this study, the whole plant of Mimosa pudica was extracted using absolute ethanol. The crude ethanolic extract and its isolated triterpenoid glycoside were tested for antifungal activity towards Aspergillus flavus and Trichophyton rubrum using Well Diffusion Method. At concentrations of 25 –100 mg/mL, the extract possesses antifungal activity (from being partially active to very active) against Aspergillus flavus and Trichophyton rubrum. The TLC profile of the crude extract...
Abstract Schlumberger array is the most commonly used among other arrays for Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and it requires large spacing at both ends for deeper subsurface information. The problem of limited space for spreading in built up areas could lead to incomplete information from deeper depth. The Geolectrical survey involving electrical resistivity methods has been carried out at Birnin Kebbi and Fakai Local Government Area in Northern Nigeria with the view to delineate ...
The physicochemical parameters and levels of selected heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Mn, Zn and Pb) in soil around Dana Steel Rolling Limted Katsina were investigated in this research. The sample area was divided into four units; East, West, North and South and label as A, B, C and D respectively using stratified random sampling method. The soil was digested using H2SO4, HClO4 and H...
ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY TESTING ON EGGS FROM LAYERS TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTIC A RESEARCH PROJECT ABSTRACT Antibiotic sensitivity testing is the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics, it is carried out to determine which antibiotic will be most successful in treating a bacterial infections. The total mean colony count of the bacterial isolates in the two set of egg sample carried out showed the mean total bacterial count as 0.33x102 – 3.6 x 102 cfu/ml. While the antibiot...
ANTIBIOGRAM OF BACTERIAL ISOLATED FROM SEALED AND UNSEALED DRUGS A RESEARCH PROJECT ABSTRACT The study on the isolation and antibiogram of bacterial isolated form sealed and unsealed drugs revealed total Bacteria count ranging form 1.2 X 107 to 11.5 X108cfu/g for unsealed and 1.5 X107 to 9.2 x 107cfu/g for sealed. The following bacterial isolates were identified these include Bacillus sp, klebsiellssp, staphylococcus sp Escherichia sp, Lactrbacillussp, proteussp and Citrobacter...
ANALYSIS OF TRACEMETALS IN MUSCLE AND LIVER OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA IKOT OSURUA. A RESEARCH PROJECT ABSTRACT The concentration of trace metals (cadmium, Lead, Iron, Copper and Zinc) in two organ (muscle and liver) from cow meat obtained from urua Ikot Osurua was determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Their result was as follows muscle (Cadmium: 0.78±0.002, Lead: 0.044±0.001, Iron: 0.711±0.000, Copper: 0.833±0.082, Zinc: 0.580±0.001). The obtained result declared that...
ANALYSIS OF TRACE METALS IN KIDNEY AND SKIN OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA MBAKARA A RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT ABSTRACT This study was to determine the concentration of trace metal (Cd, Pb, Fe, Cu and Zn) in the skin and kidney of a cowmeat. The analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of the trace metals in the different organs were as follows, skin cadmium 0.86 + 0.003, Lead 1.09 + 0.002, Iron 14.30 + 0.001 Copper 0.85 +...
Electromagnetic Distance Measurement (EDM) equipment is calibrated on a base to determine instrument constants and errors. A series of measurements on a base can also be used to check the performance and reliability of the instrument over time and to assess its precision against the manufacturer's specifications. This research work, the establishment of Electromagnetic Distance Measurement (EDM) calibration base entails the setting up of a functional base where calibration of electr...
Abstract Background Newcastle disease is a highly contagious disease of birds caused by Paramyxovirus. Birds mostly affected by Paramyxovirus virus includes; chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and guinea fowls. Newcastle disease however, remains a worldwide problem. There are three major strains of Newcastle disease virus and they are velogenic, mesogenic and lentogenic strains respectively. These viral strains reflects the severity of the disease pathotypes. In the medical laboratory, the...
ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to design and implement a computerized Online Bank Verification Number System for Nigerian Bank Customers in the Diaspora. This project was motivated because of the fact that Nigerian bank customers in the Diaspora are barred from having access to their fund in Nigerian banks without BVN, therefore they are required to come back for biometric capture before they can operate on those accounts. The methodology adopted for this research is Structured S...
ABSTRACT Staff records play a significant role in an organization as it provides information needed to manage their employees’ performance. Many organizations particularly the government agencies are still using the conventional methods which are merely paper-based to record the data of their employees, this often result in downright waste of time in generating reports or searching for employees’ records and loss or damage of files. These inadequacies in the conventional method are char...
The effect of Anthocleista djalonensis leaves on the zone of inhibition of microorganism isolated from fruits (Watermelon, pineapple, apple and orange) juice stored at 30+10C for 20days were investigated using agar diffusion and dilution methods. The result obtained reveled that the Zone of inhibition Staphylococcus aureus was 18mm (juice isoaltes), clinical 17mm while typed culture was 13mm. Bacillus cereus was 7mm (clinical isolate), while juice isolate was 10mm. The minimum inhibitory conc...
