Abstract Every year thousands of people died due to malarial infection, mainly in developingcountries and under developed countries. In most of these places, the infected persons ‘age isbelow five and pregnant women are also affected by malaria, this is due to weak and poorimmunity. Another important reason is lack of awareness about malarial infection. In future, dueto climatic change, disease spreading population of mosquito will increase. It leads to a chanc...
Abstract: An introduction to Laplace Transform is the topic of this paper. It deals with what Laplace Transform is, and what is it actually used for. The definition of Laplace Transform and most of its important properties have been mentioned with detailed proofs. This paper also includes a brief overview of Inverse Laplace Transform as well as a brief overview of application in control system. A few practical life�...

ABSTRACT Pollution is the introduction of waste into the atmosphere making it impossible to make life onearth possible to sustain. Pollution is the introduction of a contaminant into the environment. Alot of anthropocentric activities have contributed to the gradual degradation of the ecosystem.However, they are measures that can bring sanity and recovery the wounded ecosystem. Incourse of this study, four research question were raised amo...
ABSTRACT Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that encompasses various objects and methods of communication to exchange information. Today IoT is more a descriptive term of a vision that everything should be connected to the internet. IoT will be fundamental in the future because the concept opens up opportunities for new services and new innovations. All objects will be connected and able to communicate with each other, while they operate in unprotected environments. This later aspect lead...
ABSTRACT The upsurge of Candida albicans as the fourth most common causative agent of nosocomial infections necessitated the evaluation of a range of disinfectants for their efficacy against this organism. This project work was designed to basically determine the anti-Candida efficacy of three commonly used, commercially available disinfectants, namely Savlon, Septol, and Izal, using suspension test technique. The test organism was challenged with various concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and 10...
Microbiological tests revealed that Hibiscus sabdariffa plant extract has antibacterial properties thus verifying folklore medicine in the treatment of abscesses, bilious conditions, cough, dysuria and scurvy (Morton, 1987; Perry, 1980 Ross, 2003). The extraction type of aqueous generally had the same potency with cold extracts having a slightly better antimicrobial activity than hot aqueous ex...
AbstractThere are enormous challenges facing infection control in the 21st century. Countries across the world are confronted by ageing populations, restricted healthcare resources, demands for modern medicine and increasing antimicrobial resistance. Problem pathogens in the community are set to invade hospitals, and those created in hospitals are seeding into the community. Continued consumption ...
ABSTRACT The present experiment aims at investigating the growth behaviour of different yeast strains inselected carbon, nitrogen and stress environment to obtain strains with prospects for industrialapplication. Specifically, the study is set to: isolate yeast from decaying mango fruit anddetermine growth performance of yeast strains in different environments, carbon, nitrogen andstressors. The procedure adopted in the study uses different ...
Bioluminescence is the process by which certain living organisms produce light through a seriesof enzymatically catalyzed biochemical reactions (Brodl et al., 2018). Any organism that iscapable of exhibiting or carrying out bioluminescence is termed a bioluminescent organism.Bioluminescence is a phenomenon that has been found in almost all branches of the evolutionarytree (Tyulkova et al., 2009), meaning that representative organisms from ...
Abstract Culex quinquefasciatus is a dorminant mosquito species in Nigeria and a major cause of several diseases. The study seeks to determine the effects of S-Hydroprene and leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica on life expectancy of third instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. Concentrations (ranging from 10 mg/L to 60 mg/L) were tested on the larvae for mortality, survival and life expectancy of the medically important Cx. quinquefasciatus mosquito species under laboratory conditions of te...
Nanocellulose prepared from the natural material has a promising wide range of opportunities to obtain the superior material properties towards various end-products. In this study, commercially available natural cotton was treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to eliminate the hemicellulose and lignin, then cellulose was collected. The collected cellulose was subjected to acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid to obtain nanocellulose. The prepared nanocellulose was further characterize...
Cellulose water treatment are naturally occurring with unique structural, mechanical and optical properties. While the paper and packaging, automotive, personal care, construction, and textiles industries have recognized cellulose water treatments’ potential, we suggest cellulose water treatments have great untapped potential in water treatment technologies. In this review, we gather evidence of cellulose water treatment s’ beneficial role in environmental remediation and membranes for wa...
ABSTRACT In African folk medicine, water infusion of Mangifera indica stem bark are highly valued in thelocal treatment of malaria fever, diarrohea, diabetes mellitus and liver diseases. Various part ofthis plant can also be used in treatment of toothache, dysentery, anemia, hypertension andinsomnia in different parts of the world. This study was described to determine the activities ofthe stem bark extract of M.indica against some panel of bacterial...
ABSTRACT Plants have long been a source of nutrition and therapy to man. The medicinal value of these plants lies in some chemical substances that produce a definite physiological action in the human body. This study evaluated the oxytocic potential of methanol extract of Sida acuta on female albino rats in vitro. Oxytocin was used as a standard drug though it is a biochemically synthesized hormone that act on distant hormone receptor to induce contractions. The methanol extract was prepared...
