ABSTRACT Antimicrobials have been in use for decades in disease management, but emergence of resistant pathogens such as Escherichia coli have rendered its future of concern to public health. Increased human-wildlife interaction is associated with emergence of devastating human diseases and resistance genes are increasingly being isolated. Of importance is the increased bacterial infection that requires prolonged treatment periods as seen in Lambwe Valley which points to antibacterial resista...
ABSTRACT The water quality characteristics, artisanal fishing gear and crafts technology and the Fish fauna composition in the Lekki lagoon between March, 2006 and February 2008 were investigated. The water quality analysis indicated that salinity Is drastically increased recently in the lagoon (0.007 4.70%). This study identified three possible sources for saline water intrusion, beyond the sun put in the adjacent lagoons (Lagos and Mahin) salt water intrusion by subsurface flow through the ...
ABSTRACT Agribank POS Support system is a system that is used to manage and support the use of all Agribank POS machines that is from when the branch requests POS machines for their clients to the issuance of the POS machines. This system targeted the various departments in the bank (Branch, E-banking, E-channels and Audit) and production of reports for all the levels of management. The purpose of this project was to come up with an efficient and effective Agribank POS system that would meet ...
ABSTRACT The process of re-establishing the natural level of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) fungi richness can represent a valid alternative to conventional phosphate based fertilization practices, with a view to sustainable agriculture. The main strategy that can be adopted to achieve this goal is the direct re-introduction of AM fungi inoculum into a target soil. AM fungi have a high affinity for phosphorus, an essential macronutrient that participates in the skeleton of the nucleic acids DNA ...
Abstract Birds constitute an important part of the earths’ vertebrate organisms and are among the most diverse, conspicuous and fascinating forms of life. There are over ten thousand species of birds in the world. Besides their great ecological role in seed dispersal, pollination, importance in food weds / chains, they have also been crucial to man for meat, communication, recreation, decoration and as a source of inspiration.

Specifically, no such study has been conducted on the Ivola Child ...
ABSTRACT Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is an aggressive paediatric B-cell lymphoma prevalent in children from holoendemic malaria regions of sub-Saharan Africa. It is associated with early primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and repetitive Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) malaria coinfection with high incidence in western Kenya. The lymphoma is common among children aged 2-11 years with high incidence at 5-8 years and has been associated with multiple genetic variations. Endemic BL is characterized b...
ABSTRACT Fluctuations in phytoplankton biomass and diversity in relation to environmental factors at the Tyagbe lagoon, Lagos were investigated monthly from October, 2004 to September, 2006. The water quality indices reflected seasonal changes closely related to rainfall distributive patter and tidal seawater incursion. Whereas air temperature, surface water temperature, total dissolved solids, transparency, sulphate, silica, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, salinity, chloride, pH, acidity, al...
As communication technologies improve, virtual teams are now a reality in today’s workplace. The Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic has future pushed the need for virtual project management. The new trend has allowed teams from different parts of the world to participate in project tasks and collaborate through internet-connected computers. They can be considered as remote team members or virtual team workers. Due to this fact, these members must work effectively and add value to the project ...
ABSTRACT Datlabs Pvt ltd is a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. Its main thrust is the, manufacture of various drugs under license and focuses less on drug research. Datlabs Pvt Ltd was using a manual system to train its employees and to document drug reactions.

Abstract Many of the sewage treatment plants in Zimbabwe have not been upgraded to accommodate the population increases that the cities have undergone. This has resulted in the release of raw or partially treated sewage into rivers, which negatively impacts the ecological health of these ecosystems. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of sewage effluent on the aquatic health of Sebakwe River, Kwekwe. Monthly surveys of macroinvertebrates and water variables were carried out from...
ABSTRACT Diarrheal diseases are the third leading cause of death in third world countries, resulting in 1.8 million deaths around the world per annum. A study was carried out to assess the microbial quality of ready to eat cooked foods sold at Midlands State University (MSU) bus terminus in March 2018. Type of samples which were microbially assessed were sadza, rice, chicken stew, beef stew, cabbage salads, pork chops and russian sausages. Sampling was done for three different days. A total o...

Different data gathering techniques which include questionnaires, interviews and observations were used and the researcher discovered that the Ministry of Agriculture Mec...
ABSTRACT Modern manufacturing equipment has become highly automated and sophisticated. High levels of output can now be achieved, hence the need to monitor the production process. The greatest hindrance to achieve higher output are the six big losses to production. The six big losses are start-up rejects, production rejects, small stops, setup and adjustment, equipment failure and slow cycles. In order to counteract these losses it is necessary to monitor machinery performance through the cal...
