Quantitative Determination of Secondary Metabolites and Antimicrobial Activity of Mimosa Pudica

Abstract: The side effects and the increasing microbial resistance to synthetic drugs in the management and  treatment of infections remain an issue in modern medicine, hence the increasing research in phytomedicine.  Therefore in the present study, the active phytocomponents of Mimosa pudica’s wholesome parts were  revealed using quantitative phytochemical analysis. The antibacterial activity of the Ethanolic extract was  studied using Well diffusion method. The activity was tested aga...

ANALYSIS OF TRACE METALS IN MUSCLE AND LIVER OF COW MEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA IKOT OSURUA

A RESEARCH PROJECT ABSTRACT The concentration of trace metals (cadmium, Lead, Iron, Copper and Zinc) in two organ (muscle and liver) from cow meat obtained from urua Ikot Osurua was determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Their result was as follows muscle (Cadmium: 0.78±0.002, Lead: 0.044±0.001, Iron: 0.711±0.000, Copper: 0.833±0.082, Zinc: 0.580±0.001). The obtained result declared that...

ANALYSIS OF TRACE METALS IN KIDNEY AND SKIN OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA MBAKARA

ANALYSIS OF TRACE METALS IN KIDNEY AND SKIN OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA MBAKARA   A RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT     ABSTRACT This study was to determine the concentration of trace metal (Cd, Pb, Fe, Cu and Zn) in the skin and kidney of a cowmeat. The analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of the trace metals in the different organs were as follows, skin cadmium 0.86 + 0.003, Lead 1.09 + 0.002, Iron 14.30 + 0.001 Copper 0.85 +...

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...

DETERMINATION OF Escherichia coli AND SOME PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF SELECTED PIPE BORNE AND SACHETBOTTLED WATER IN ACCRA-

Water treatment describes those processes used to make water more acceptable for a desired enduse. These can include use as drinking water, industrial processes, medical and many other uses. In Ghana, water is the most common and cheapest drink one can afford. For this reason, drinking water is supposed to be clean and safe enough for human consumption. The goal of all water treatment process is to remove existing contaminants in the water, or reduce the concentration of such contaminants so ...

NATURAL WATER HARDNESS, POLLUTION, WATER CYCLE, TREATMENT AND USES

 PREFACE The concept of Natural Water Hardness has been a subject of much discussion since the exception of the natural science unit. It borders on the sources of water hardness, types of hard water and effects of hard water. Pollution on the other hand is an environmental problem which needs to be tackled. This term paper writes more on it. Water cycle, treatment and uses are also discussed in the term paper.    TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page Dedication Acknowledgment Preface Table of ...

The deleterious effect of nitric oxide on human

CHAPTER ONE 1.0Introduction Nitric oxide (NO), colourless is a toxic gas that is formed by the oxidation of nitrogen. Though it has few industrial applications, nitric oxide performs important chemical signalling functions in humans and other animals and has various applications in medicine. It is also a serious air pollutant generated by automotive engines and thermal power plants (Abubakar, 2011).

Effect of dye on hair

ABSTRACT   The use of dye and bleaches on hair have been dated back to early ages, as the process of civilization and advance technology take place, many different dyes are been sold in the market. The side effects of dyes and bleaches on human include burning, discoloration, hair breakage and cancer. This review discussed the different types of dyes, their chemical composition and the detrimental effects associated with the use of dyes and bleaches.

ICT as antidote in learning difficulty in chemistry at senior secondary school level

ABSTRACT This study investigated the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as antidote in learning difficulty in chemistry in Ilesa-East L.G.A of Osun state. 100 students and 30 teachers were randomly selected for the study. The instruments used for collecting information were teachers’ and students’ questionnaires. Data collected were analyzed using Chi-square statistic. The results revealed that: 1. There is a significant difference between teaching guide in chemistry...

ANTIMICROBIAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ACTIVITIES OF Datura stramonium (GEGEMU LEAVES)

1.0 INTRODUCTION  Daturastramoniumis an annual herb, with stem erect and spreading branches above. It is common in the waste land, fields and gardens in Baghdad district. Leaves, seeds and roots contain the alkaloid daturine (a mixture of the two alkaloids hyoscyamine and atropine) and also contain scopolamine alkaloid (Hyosine) acids, tannin and fatty oil. Plants are rich source of secondary metabolites with interesting biological activities (Palombo and Semple, 2001; Koduruet al., 2006). S...

Application of Chemometric Technique in the Determination of the Chemical Facies of Groundwater Pollution Assessment in the Shallow Marine Aquiferous Sandstone in Udi and Environs

ABSTRACT This paper examines the hydrochemical facies of groundwater present in the shallow marine Plain Sands aquifer of Udi and its immediate environs, maps their areal distribution and attempts to explain the controlling processes responsible for the various facies. 12 water samples were collected from wells tapping the shallow marine Plain Sands aquifer of Udi and environs and analyzed for various parameters including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), K, Na, Ca, Mg, Cl, NO3, Fe, Pb, TH, A...

Φ-SULFO FATTY METHYL ESTER SULFONATES (Φ-MES): A NEW ANIONIC SURFACTANT

Abstract F-Sulfo Fatty Methyl Esters  sulfonates (F- MES) are new anionic surfactants  obtained via sulfoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) with SO2, O2, and ultraviolet light of appropriate wavelength.  The designation of  Φ refers to the random positioning of SO3 in the alkyl chain. In this work we summarize the most relevant results of our research started fifteen years ago, on  the synthesis, separation, analysis and performance of F-sulfo fatty methyl ester sulfonates know...

Determination Of Heavy Metals In Some Cosmetic Products Commonly Used Among Students Of Kaduna Polytechnic

ABSTRACT The toxicity of heavy metals to humans as a result of long term exposure to pollutants consumer products such as cosmetics and other pollutants has been established.
