Empirical analysis on fertility differentialslocation and educational level of women in Oghara Metropolis, Delta state

The objective of this study was to examine the fertility differentials in terms of education and location of females of reproductive ages in Oghara metropolis, to achieve this aim, the direct observation method of data collection was used in obtaining the vital information needed for this study from the medical records. The t-test was used to test the sameness of the fertility differential by location and by educational level. From the analysis, it was found that there is an existence of....

Hepatoprotective Effect of Methanol Extract of Diospyroschloroxylon Leaf in N-Nitrosodimethylamine-induced hepatotoxicity in rats

ABSTRACT   The  present  study  investigated  the  ameliorative  properties  of  Diospyroschloroxylon  (methanolic)  leaf  extract (DCLE)  in  liver  of  rats  intoxicated  with  N-Nitrosodimethylamine  (NDMA).  Antioxidant  markers-  Superoxide dismutase  (SOD),  catalase  (CAT),  reduced  glutathione  (GSH)  and  lipid  peroxidation  were  assayed spectrophotometrically.  DNA  fragmentation  was determined spectrophotometrically. The Bcl-2, Ki-67 and  ...

NATURAL WATER HARDNESS, POLLUTION, WATER CYCLE, TREATMENT AND USES

 PREFACE The concept of Natural Water Hardness has been a subject of much discussion since the exception of the natural science unit. It borders on the sources of water hardness, types of hard water and effects of hard water. Pollution on the other hand is an environmental problem which needs to be tackled. This term paper writes more on it. Water cycle, treatment and uses are also discussed in the term paper.    TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page Dedication Acknowledgment Preface Table of ...

Effect of processing on micronutrients (calcium, iron, vitamin A, and zinc) in maize, bambara groundnut, cowpea, cattle bone, roselle calyces, palm oil, Brachystegia eurycoma and Althernanthe

Healthy mature seeds of bambara groundnut (Voandzeia subterranea Thouars), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), cattle bone, roselle calyces (Hibiscus sabdariffa), red palm oil, yellow maize (Zea mays), and “achi†(Brachystegia eurycoma), were purchased from Ogige market, Nsukka, Nigeria. Methods The processing methods was based on the methods of Uvere et al., (2010). Production of maize-bambara and maize-cowpea food blends  The maize, bambara groundnut and cowpea seeds were cleaned by win...

ANALYTICAL REAGENTS FOR THE SPECTOPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF CHROMIUM, TIN AND LEAD – A REVIEW

ABSTRACTS Some compounds have been proposed as analytical reagents for the spectrophotometric determination of chromium, tin and lead ions. The application of these reagents for the determination of these metal ions is listed and several procedures are described to illustrate the fundamental conditions for the spectrophotometric determination of these metal ions. Key words: Analytical reagents, chromium, tin, lead, spectrophotometric determination, extraction, complexes. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Ch...

Microbial Fuel Cell

Introduction Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioreactors that convert chemical energy stored in the bonds of organic matters into electricity through biocatalysis of microorganisms (Potter, 1911; Cohen, 1931; Davis and Yarbrough, 1962; Moon et al., 2006). The schematic of a typical MFC is shown in Fig. 1. In the sketch below, the anodic and cathodic chamber are separated by a proton exchange membrane (PEM) (Wilkinson, 2000; Gil et al., 2003) that allows transport protons while blocking oxygen...

THE PROCESSES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE RECOVERY OF PETROLEUM AND IT PRODUCTS

mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">      Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR) is the implementation of various techniques for increasing the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field. Enhanced oil recovery is also called tertiary recovery (as opposed to primary and secondary recovery). According to the US Department of Energy, there are three primary techniques for EOR: thermal recovery, gas injection, and chemical injection So...

Norovirus

NOROVIRUSNorovirus (NoV), causing the winter vomiting disease, is today recognized as the most important agent of acute human gastroenteritisThe etiology of diarrheas can involve several agents, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Bacterial agents are relatively more important in developing countries, whereas viral agents are more relevant in industrialized countries. The importance of these agents is related to hygiene and sanitation conditions for the population1. In 1972, a 27-nm vir...

Investigation on plastic degrading bacteria

                         Abstract This review lays emphasis on the research works carried out across the globe on plastic degrading bacteria. The field of Microbiology is proving to have immense importance in eradicating pollutants from the environment in the long run. One of the most worked on research is on bacterial species that can degrade biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastics are made of monomers which bond via ester or ether bonds. Plastics are considered to be one ...
