Night Vision Technology

ABSTRACT This seminar describes the various Night vision techniques. hence "Night Vision" is referenced to as technology that provides us with the miracle of vision in total darkness and the improvement of vision in low light environments. This technology is an amalgam of several different methods each having its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common methods described here are Low-Light Imaging, Thermal Imaging and Illumination’s. This paper also give brief idea about various ni...

It is quickly becoming the fundamental foundation for Intelligent Solutionsincluding Business Performance Management, Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting,Financial Reporting, Analysis, Simulation Models, Knowledge Discovery, and Data Warehouse Reporting. OLAP enables end-users to...

Mechanisms of action of some probiotics

INTRODUCTION The term probiotic (opposite of antibiotics) is used when we refer to bacteria associated with beneficial effects on humans and animals. It was invented in the early twentieth century by Nobel Prize winner, Eli Metchnikoff, and introduced in his study, the prolongation of Life. (Metchnikoff, 1907).Metchnikoff has shown since 1907 that Lactobacillus bulgaricus is able to eliminate pathogenic bacteria from the intestinal microflora. The actual introduction of the concept belongs to...

ROLE OF COMPUTER IN THE BANKING SECTOR

ABSTRACT This study explains the role of computer in the banking sector. It further describes the need and importance for banks make use of Micro Computers for effective utilization and storage of data. The use of computer in the banking sector can be an efficient tool in speeding up the process and cutting the price of creating and undertaking figure works. There are numerous benefits of Computer in the Banking Sector such as: Bring about simplicity in term of worrying condition. Reduce stre...

Polymer Degradation

ABSTRACT Polymers are used in various ways and they constitute the bulk of demand in the utilization of basic petrochemicals both in industries and domestic uses. Polymers have posed serious environmental problems because of their undegradability. Polymer degradation is a change in the properties of a polymer or polymer based products under the influence of one or more environmental factors such as heat, light, chemicals such as acids, alkalis and some salts, atmospheric oxygen, microorganism...

Roles of bacteriocins in food safety

INTRODUCTION DEFINITION AND HISTORY Bacteriocins are bacterial ribosomally synthesized peptides or proteins with antimicrobial activity. As ribosomally synthesised peptides, bacteriocins are encoded by a plasmid- or chromosome-borne structural gene which is often clustered with genes coding for immunity protein(s) and dedicated transport. Bacteriocins are proteinaceous toxins produced as a tiny molecule by bacteria to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strain(s) produc...

Network media

AbstractThis paper pesent the medium through which the signal travels from one device to another.    It also cover the types of network media that we have; unshielded/shielded  twisted pair, coaxial cable and viber optic cable also the connectors

Mycotoxins: Characterization , Occurrence and Detection

INTRODUCTION Mycotoxins are pharmacologically active mold metabolites produced in a strain-specific way that elicit some complicated toxicological activities (Bennett, 2003). Mycotoxins could also be described as secondary metabolites produced by a wide variety of organisms categorized as fungi, including mushrooms, yeasts and molds. The term mycotoxin was used for the first time in 1961 in the aftermath of a veterinary crisis in England, during which thousands of animals died. The disease wa...

ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF FUNGI

INTRODUCTION  A fungus is any member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which are separate from plants, animals, protists, and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants and some protists, which contain cellulose, and unlike the cell walls of bacteria. These and ot...

THE ROLE OF NITRIC OXIDE IN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

 ABSTRACT Nitric oxide is produced in high amount from the break down of arginine by a group of enzyme called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide is an intercellular messenger that has been recognized as one of the versatile player in the immune system. Cells of the innate immune system such as macrophages, neutrophil and natural killer use pattern recognition receptors to recognize the molecular patters associated with pathogens. The specific role nitric oxide plays depend on the place of i...

CONCEPT OF CELLULAR INTERNET PROTOCOL

ABSTRACT Recent initiatives to add mobility to the Internet and packet data services to third generation cellular systems are being considered by emerging mobile service providers as possible candidate solutions for the delivery of IP data to mobile users.  Though it has a number of shortcomings, Mobile IP represents a simple and scalable global mobility solution but is not appropriate in support of fast and seamless handover control.  In contrast, third generation cellular systems are buil...

Internet Security

ABSTRACT This chapter describes security threats that systems face when they are connected to the Internet. We discuss their security requirements, potential security threats and di erent mech-anisms to combat these. In addition, the text presents the two most popular protocols (SSL and its successor TLS) to secure data transmitted over the Internet. Finally, we describe well-known applications such as Secure Shell (ssh) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (sftp) that provide a reasonable level...

IMPACT OF COMPUTERIZED PHYSICIAN DOCUMENTATION IN SOME SELECTED GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE HOSPITALS IN KANO STATE

ABSTRACTThe objective of this research is to find out the impacts of computer usage by physicians in Kano State and this is likely to increasingly replace handwritten documentation in other institutions. The population consisted of the physicians in Kano state hospitals. A questionnaire was designed and administered among 26 physicians using a simple random sampling technique. Simple percentage was used to analyze the research questions.The study found out that the physicians in Kano state ne...

Recycling of water sachet

ABSTRACT Wastes generally render our environment unfriendly and the worst of them all are those wastes that are non-biodegradable and as such, wastes of these forms (non-biodegradable) pose a serious threat to our environment. One of these categories of non-biodegradable wastes is pure water sachets. They are found in virtually every part of Nigeria and various attempts have been made to biodegrade these pure water sachets. One of these attempts was carried out by Nwachukwu S.et al (2010) in...

JOCK ITCH FUNGAL INFECTION

INTRODUCTION Jock itch gets its name because it is common in people who sweat a lot, majorly the athletes. It is also more likely to occur in people who are overweight.  Although often uncomfortable and bothersome, jock itch usually is not serious. Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection that affects the skin of the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks. Jock itch causes an itchy, red, often ring-shaped rash in these warm, moist areas of the body. groin area clean and dry and applying t...
