ABSTRACT The presences of pathogenic microorganism in ice cream such as Salmonella Species, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli have been well documented, but examination of pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus cereus Yersinia enterocolitica, Brucella species and E.coli O157:H7 have been rarely studied. These studies indicated the necessity for a more steady microbial examination of ice cream since ice cream is particularly consumed by children of vulnerable age groups. Ice...
ABSTRACT Acetylcholinesterase(AChE) is the key cholinesterase in the body which catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that functions as neurotransmitter in living cell. It belongs to the carboxyl esterase (hydrolase) family of enzymes which are found mainly at the neuromuscular junction (point of contact between the nervous system and the muscles) and the chemical synapses of the cholinergic types. It functions to terminate synaptic transmission by breaking d...
Researchers have shown that majority of the populace in the developing nations are rural dwellers that do not have access to basic financial services and are poor. This class of people are peasant farmers and petty traders who rely mostly on remittances from their wards and relations in major cities and abroad to meet their financial obligations at home. The methods of remittances are encumbered with challenges. Mobile money is a tool that allows individuals to make financial transactions...
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the primary cholinesterase in the body which catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that functions as neurotransmitter in living cell. It belongs to the carboxyl esterase (hydrolase) family of enzymes which are found mainly at the neuromuscular junction (point of contact between the central nervous system and the muscles) and the chemical synapses of the cholinergic types. It functions to terminate synaptic transmission by breakin...
Maize is one of the largest food crop cultivated in Mubi region. It is produced annually and serves as the source of food and revenue. This work developed, an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on the data collected to forecast Maize yield in terms of weather parameters (Temperature and Rainfall). Predicted yield increased by 0.37 tons, 0.67 tons, 289.48tons and 0.17 tons in 2006, 2011, 2014 and 2015 and reduced by 0.52 tons, 0.32 tons, 5.53 tons, 15.44 tons, 0.45 tons and 0.25 tons ...
Rain serves as one of the key components in water cycle and it comes in the form of water droplets that are condensed from atmosphere and then fall on earth surface as rainfall. It has much importance. However, excessive rainfall can cause environmental hazards. This work developed an adaptive neuro – fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to relate certain weather parameters (temperature and relative humidity) with rainfall in order to forecast the amount of rainfall capable of causing River Yazar...

The Geo-statistical evaluation of the hydrochemical data of river Niger floodplain water in Jebba and its environs, Nigeria was carried out using Multivariate statistical analysis such as Correlation Analysis (CA), Factor Analysis (FA), Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to classify the water geochemistry. Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry technique was used for cations analysis while the anions were analyzed by using volumetric analysis. The wat...
ABSTRACT The students industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is a skill impacting program designed to expose and prepare students of universities and other tertiary institutions for the industrial work situation that may be encountered after school. My SIWES program was undertaken at Nigeria Bottling Company limited, Asejire plant, Ibadan; a company that deals with the manufacturing of non-alcoholic beverage products such as Coca-Cola, limca, Fanta orange etc. The company has various se...
ABSTRACT Neurodegeneration is defined as the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons in the body. Different forms of neurodegenerative disease include Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, and they are caused by different mechanism such as inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, excitotoxicity etc. Insulin sensitizers have been discovered by researchers in managing Neurodegeneration and the main one used are the thiazolidinedione. Due ...
ABSTRACT The inability of an organism to efficiently remove excess waste from the body have been a major issues attached to acute kidney injury (AKI) which is the most common cause of organ dysfunction. Oleanolic acid and rutin which are from the families of saponin and flavonoid respectively have been discovered to possess certain biological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-viral and nephroprotective activities that can help in therapeutic management of acute kidney ...
The article gives a brief overview of what Diabetes mellitus is, its type and pathogenesis. It's aimed at enlightening people about this disorder.
Most of soil microorganisms are known for their ability to solubilize insoluble phosphorous compounds for releasing soluble phosphate to make phosphorous available for plant absorption. Releasement of this soluble phosphorous is very important in increasing plant growth and plant product yields. Inoculating plant seeds with phosphate solubilizing microorganisms is very effective and environmentally useful to decrease the side effect of chemical fertilizers on soil microbes and other organisms...
ABSTRACT Biomarkers or geochemical fossils are organic molecules that are present in petroleum and also in plants and animals. These biomarkers can be correlated back along the above pathway to identify source beds, correlate oil families and make interpretations about depositional environments andpost-depositional histories. To describe a sample chemically meansamassing the largest amount of data possible. The�...
ABSTRACT Mobile devices are becoming more important in daily lives for not just making calls, but also for information gathering, personal management and entertainment. They have also gained an increasing demand in education field, for instance m-learning, mobile timetable system and many others. The objective of this paper is to present a way to bring information to students by leveraging the availability of phones (with SMS capability), especially cell phones. I review the use of mobile pho...
