A total of 120 fingerlings of average length (15.3+2.10) cm and weight (34.2+8.73)g were used for the study.  Table oc content Chapter one  Chapter two  Chapter three Chapter four  Chapter five References 

THE EFFECTS OF THREE ORGANIC FERTILIZERS: POULTRY DROPPINGS, CATTLE DUNG AND PIG EXCRETA ON THE GROWTH OF FINGERLINGS OF Clarias gariepinus

ABSTRACT This research was carried out to determine the effects of three organic fertilizers namely:  cattle dung, poultry droppings and pig excreta on the growth of fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus.  A total of 120 fingerlings of average length (15.3±2.10)cm and weight (34.2±8.73)g were used for the study.  The fingerlings were subjected to three different organic fertilizer treatments.  Each treatment was replicated thrice.  For proper assessment, a control experiment containing no ...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DISTRIBUTED RECRUITMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract The recruitment process has always been critical to the success or failure of organizations.  Organizations constantly seek better methods of recruiting staff that will require minimal  effort to seamlessly fit in with the organizations business processes and thus provide  recruitment agencies with the means with which to determine which universities provide the  best graduates in a particular field for recruitment. This project work utilized a V-model software methodology, in th...

Postgraduate project allocation and verification system

The aim of this project is to develop a web-based system that manages the activities of  Postgraduate Student Project Allocation and Verification system.  The primary objectives of this system are: 1. To develop system that give students the opportunity to promote and publicize their work. 2. To develop system that give project supervisors an easy means of tracking their student’s  progress online. 3. To develop system that will ease and automate postgraduate project allocation.

EFFECTS OF CHRYSOPHYLLUM ALBIDUM VARIETIES ON SELECTED BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS USING ALBINO WISTAR RAT

Effect of Chrysophyllum albidum pulp varieties on biochemical parameters was investigated using albino rat model. Thirty male Albino rats were divided into five groups of six rats each. A group served as the control while four groups served as the test groups A, B, C and D. Test groups A and B were placed on 5% and 25% respectively compounded feed of  sweet Chrysophyllum albidum pulp variety while test groups C and D were respectively placed on 5% and 25% compounded feed of sour Chrysophyllu...

THE IMPACT OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF PARASITIC INFECTIONS

A human or animal with an infection has another organism inside them which gets its sustenance (nourishment) from that person, it colonizes that person and reproduces inside them. The human with that organism (germ) inside is called the host, while the germ or pathogen is referred to as a parasitic organism. Another name for an organism that causes infection is an infectious agent. It is only an infection if the colonization harms the host i.e parasitic relationship. It feeds and multiply ...

MICROBIAL QUALITY OF READY TO EAT FOODS AND SOME VEGETABLES SOLD AT AFOR-ULE MARKET, ABA.

Bacteria are group of microorganisms all of which lack a distinct nuclear membrane (and hence are considered more primitive than animal and plant cells) and of most which have a cell wall of unique composition. Most bacteria are unicellular; the cells maybe spherical (coccu), rod-shaped (bacillus), spiral (spirillum), comma-shaped (vibrio) or corkscrew-shaped (spierocheate). Generally, they range in size between 0.5 and 5um. (Elizabeth and Martin, 2003). Food is any substance that people or ...

The Effect of Broken Homes on Science Education Students: A Case Study of Some Selected Secondary Schools in Augie Local Government

INTRODUCTION The home is the primary institution for children, home as perceived by Abdulganiyu (1997), Christe (2009), defined home as a place in which an individual or a family can rest and store personal property.Haven’t define the concept of home it is therefore important to define family. The family can therefore, be looked at as a social group characterized by common resident, economic, cooperation and production.When a child is born, the family is the first primary group with which t...

Occurrence and Multiple Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile of Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Patients with Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Abstract Objectives: The present study reported the antibiotic susceptibility profile and pattern of pathogens isolated from in- and out-patients with respiratory tracts infections. Methods: Sputum and throat swab samples were collected aseptically from subjects and cultured on the appropriate bacteriological media. Bacterial isolates were identified using biochemical tests and the identity of the isolate was later confirmed using Analytical Profile Index 20E kit. Antimicrobial susceptibilit...

Evaluation of Inhibitory Zone Diameter (IZD) of crude Spondias mombin (Linn.) extracts (root, leaf, and stem bark) against thirty infectious clinical and environmental isolates.

Abstract The purpose of this work is to evaluate the Inhibitory Zone Diameter (IZD) of crude Spondias mombin extracts against thirty infectious clinical and environmental organisms. The root, leaf and stem-bark of S. mombin were harvested and air-dried. The dried S. mombin was milled into powdered form using manual grinder. Powdered S. mombin (1kg) each of the different S. mombin parts was extracted with 3 L of 70% (v/v) ethanol, ethyl acetate and distilled water for 72 h at room temperature....

ANTIFUNGAL EFFECT OF GARCINIA KOLA

ABSTRACT The study determines the antifungal effects of aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Garcinia kola on some selected fungal isolates and their phytochemical constituents. The antifungal sensitivity and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) were determined by agar well diffusion and agar dilution methods, respectively using Sabouraud dextrose agar. The minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) was determined using samples with no visible growth in the MIC assay and sub-cultur...

Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling waste: The Need for Pragmatic Change

Executive SummaryOffshore drilling for oil and natural gas have been ongoing since the 1800’s but little emphasis has been placed on the fate of drilling waste acquired during the drilling process. There are three main categories of waste that represent a potential concern based on current disposal practices.  These waste categories are drilling fluids, drill cuttings and produced formation water (PFW). Existing and proposed policies related to the handling and disposal of these wastes wil...

REVIEW: BETA LACTAM ANTIBIOTIC DRUG RESISTANCE

The class of β-lactam antibiotics has  antibiotic agents that possess β-lactam ring as part of their molecular structure, these agents includes cephalosporins, monobactams, penicillins   and carbapenems. these are the most widely used antibiotics which act by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall such activity leads to the lysis and death of the bacteria. due to the wide applications of these antibiotics bacteria have developed resistance mechanism against these antibiotics...
