Abstract Forensic Mycology is the application of Mycology for producing evidence in terms of criminal investigation and their further evaluation in the court of law. The problem with relative neglect of Mycology in Forensic science is currently leading to insufficient knowledge, in order to support the needs for fungal expertise in areas of criminal investigation. Mucor hiemalis and Penicillium griseofulvum had been used to determine the minimum interval since death, Coprinus comatus, Hebelom...
Docking is a structure-based technique which attempts to find the “best” match, between two molecules. Molecular docking can be thought of as a problem of “lock-and-key”, in which one wants to find the correct relative orientation of the “key” which will open up the “lock” (where on the surface of the lock is the key hole, which direction to turn the key after it is inserted, etc.). The explosion of structural informatics, genomics and proteomic plays a major role in leading t...
ABSTRACT This research compare the students’ academic performance using JAMB scores and CGPA inBenue state University Makurdi, and the level at which the divergence in grades started is ofparamount importance. Two faculties in the institution were selected. The multiple regressionanalysis carried out shows that JAMB scores as well as yearly GPAs can predict the finalCGPA. From the student (t) distribution it was observed that the model contribute information tothe yearly GPA...
Tendency for data mining application in healthcare today is great, because healthcare sector is rich with information, and data mining is becoming a necessity. Healthcare organizations produce and collect large volumes of information on daily basis. Use of information technologies allows automatization of processes for extraction of data that help to get interesting knowledge and regularities, which means the elimination of manual tasks and easier extraction of data directly from electronic r...
ABSTRACT Tumor Markers comprise a wide spectrum of biomacromolecules synthesized in excess concentration by a wide variety of neoplastic cells. The markers could be endogenous products of highly active metabolic malignant cells or the products of newly switched on genes, which remained unexpressed in early life or newly acquired antigens at cellular and sub-cellular levels. The appearance of tumor marker and their concentration are related to the genesis and growth of malignant tumors in ...
CHAPTER ONE1.0 INTRODUCTIONSoil contamination is one of the major environmental problems facing the world today.Contamination of soil by hydrocarbons (mostly petroleum hydrocarbons) is becomingprevalent worldwide (Njoku et al., 2008). This is probably due to heavy dependence onpetroleum as a major source of energy throughout the world, rapid industrialization,population growth and complete disregard for the environmental health. In Nigeria, oilpollution problems have been prevalent since the ...
ABSTRACT The basic idea of healthcare facilities which is to make people well is on the verge of being defeated as a result of patients contracting infections while in healthcare settings. Nosocomial infections are infections acquired by patients or healthcare workers while they are in healthcare facilities, including, hospitals, dental offices, nursing homes and doctors’ waiting rooms. Infectious diseases are diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasi...
ABSTRACT Nymphalid butterflies are excellent ecological indicator and portray a good picture of the ecological status of an area. Study on Nymphalid butterflies were carried out in the Delta state University, Abraka campus from five (5) different habitats (Grassland, Farmland, Riverside, Flowering shrub and Moderately disturbed habitat), for the period of four (4) months (May-August, 2015) using baited traps and Pollard sampling method. A total of 167 individuals of Nymphalid butterflies belo...
Nutrient paucity in the soil poses challenge to global production of food. The use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers to boost crop yield is a recurrent farming practice, despite their unfavourable effects and hazard to the environment and human population. This study was aimed at developing an environmental friendly, low cost inoculation technology for the cultivation of soybeans. Laboratory approach was used in the production of the biofertilizer, which started with biochemical characterizat...

ABSTRACT Organic additives are agro-waste materials which when mixed with clay; improve its physical properties and its performance. These physical properties include compression strength, density, porosity etc. In addition to cost, challenges facing clay bricks are their reliability. The effect of some organic additives on compressive strength of clay bricks was investigated, were some possible organic additives, including Rice husk, Rice husk ash, Cow dung and Cow dung ash were considered. ...
In this academic term paper, the industrial minerals in Nigeria were evaluated. The economic potentials were determined. Also, the level of the development and the industrial uses of these minerals were evaluated. It will interest you to know that Nigeria has over 30 industrial minerals. These minerals are dispersed in all regions of the country.
ABSTRACTNew interactive computing applications are continually being developed in a bidto support people’s changing work and recreational activities. As research focuses on oneparticular class of interactive systems, high level models of interaction are formulated andrequirements emerge that reflect shared features or common functionality among those systems.Within this seminar a new class of interactive syst...
ABSTRACT Forensic microbiology as an evolving field in forensic medicine, is a scientific discipline dedicated to analyzing evidence from a bioterrorism act, biocrime through the study of microorganisms in order to determine the path of an outbreak, the identity of a criminal or the origin of a particular strain of biological weapon or contagion (Budowle et al., 2006). The involvement of microbiology in forensic medicine is known as “microbial forensics” and its processings ...
Summary So far, majority of the preventive effect of prebiotics has been on animal models. However, several in vitro studies using 2D and 3D cell cultures mimicking the environmental condition as well as various organisms present within the gut of man had shown the efficacy of prebiotics in reducing the attachment of enteropathogenic organisms like S. typhi to the gut epithelium. In vivo studies with human have been able to prove its efficacy in preventing diseases such as Inflammatory bowel ...
