ABSRACT A palynological study of the Palaeo-vegetation of Opi Nsukka, north eastern Enugu State was investigation through a palyno-analysis of 1.5 m lake sediment core collected from Ozzi Lake, Ugwu Ozioko Opi- Agu Nsukka Enugu State. The pollen flora showed that a total of 52 pollen types belonging to 30 families were recorded. Fungal and fern spores in addition to charred plant particles were also recorded from the sediment profile. ...

ABSTRACT Experiments were carried out to study the ability of Amaranthus hybridus to accumulate heavy metals and active pharmaceutical  ingredients  (APis) from two pharmaceutical  effluents samples (effluent P, containing Paracetamol and effluent Bcontaining Amoxicillin). The preliminary experiment was carried out in a screen house in completely  randomized  design (CRD), using sterilised  soil and controlled irrigation with the effluents while distilled water was the control. The main experiment involved natural attenuation ...

ABSTRACT Morpho-anatomical study of Oldenlandia  corymbosa  L.  and  Oldenlandia  affinis (Roem & Schult.)  DC.  in  the  family  Rubiaceae  was  undertaken  in  order  to  assess  the  taxonomic relationship of the two species. Ten samples of each of the two species were randomly collected from their natural regions of provenance, Nkalagu (derived Savanna), Nsukka (derived Savanna), and Otukpo (Southern Guinea Savanna). Both species are herbaceous and are therefore, apomorphous than shrubs and ...

ABSTRACT The  capability  ofSansevierialiberica   to  withstand  crude  oil  pollution,  degrade   and/or accumulate the contaminant was investigated using 0.3, 1.3 and 6.3% v/w concentrations of crude oil to pollute soil vegetated with the stem cuttings of the plant. These treatments were repeated in unvegetated soils and the control had no crude oil pollution. The experiment was carried out in 3 replicates in a completely randomized design. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) were ...

ABSTRACT The  chronic problem of fluctuations  in environmental conditions coupled with the  lack  of cultivar evaluations over a wide range of environments, have limited the rapid development of elite sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam.) cultivars across different agro-ecological locations of Nigeria. To evaluate the multi-locational environmental performance of sweet potato over three agro-ecolological locations, (Mbano, Nsukka and Umudike) in Eastern Nigeria, seven local elite  sweet  potato  varieties Ex-Onyunga, Centina,  ...

ABSTRACT Crude oil spill is hazardous to soil and subsequently affects food production. Certain plants however tolerate and/or improve the mineral deficiency imposed by crude oil. Also, due to the ability of bacteria to degrade crude oil, plants that enhance the abundance of soil bacteria under pollution have been under investigation. The effects of crude oil on the bacterial count and mineral constituents of soil rhizosphere of  Delonixregia  were  investigated. ...

ABSTRACT The study on a comparative study of sickle cell disease and Rhesus factor comparability among couples in Yenegoa and Port Harcourt aimed at evaluating the media campaign in creating awareness on sickle cell and Rhesus factor among couples in Yenegoa and port Harcourt, to examine whether counseling before marriage will help control the prevalence of sickle cell and Rhesus factor among couples in Nigeria, to determine whether low standard ...

ABSTRACT The study on a study of sickle cell disease and Rhesus factor comparability among couples aimed at evaluating the media campaign in creating awareness on sickle cell and Rhesus factor among couples, to examine whether counseling before marriage will help control the prevalence of sickle cell and Rhesus factor among couples in Nigeria, to determine whether low standard of living will increase the mortality rate among children with sickle ...

BSTRACT           In the work, samples of Garri obtained from Ogbete market were evaluated for microbial contamination. Four sample of Garri from different sources of supple were collected from Ogbete main market Enugu Okwo, Nkalagu, Emene, and  Abakaliki respectively. The sample were extracted using equal volume of sterile distilled water and serially diluted appropriately and the cultured for the growth of microben. The growth were further suspected to biochemical tests, ...

ABSTRACT           In the work, samples of Garri obtained were evaluated for microbial contamination. Four sample of Garri from different sources of supple were collected.  The sample were extracted using equal volume of sterile distilled water and serially diluted appropriately and the cultured for the growth of microben.  The growth were further suspected to biochemical tests, characterization for confirmatory diagnosis organism isolated include staphylococcus aureus, clostridium perferingens, Clostridium botulism and ...

ABSTRACT Biological treatment of wastewater from Greater Makurdi Water Treatment Plant was investigated. Wastewater samples were collected from the inlet and effluent point (before and after the ultra violet radiation unit) of the treatment plant. The physicochemical parameters; temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) and dissolved oxygen (DO) were measured. The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were obtained from samples collected ...

ABSTRACT Water is one of the indispensable resources for the continued existence of all living things including man. The provision of an adequate supply of safe drinking water was one of the eight components of primary health care identified by the International Conference on Primary Health care in 1978. This study investigated the bacteriological quality of sachet-packed water in Imo State, Nigeria. A total of five sachet water collected around ...

Abstract This study was on using the Olympics core values in mitigating gender based violence among female athletes of university of Benin, Benin city Nuga contingents. Three objectives were raised which included: To find out why male athlete always harass female athletes in University of Benin and to find out whether friendship in sport mitigate gender base violence among female athletes in University of Benin. The total population for the ...

Abstract The study investigated the Effects of fieldtrip on biology students’ academic performance in Khana Local Government Area. The population of the study consisted of 201 SS 2 biology students from 6 secondary schools were randomly selected A stratified random sampling technique was employed to select the sample from five schools and a total of 201students were selected as sample size. Biology Achievement Test (BAT) with reliability value aimed at ...

ABSTRACT   This study outlays different individual’s conception of science. Closely rated to science is technology. Technology refers to practical solutions human have fashioned out in response to their needs or in attempts to solve problems requiring the modification of the environment. This study covers the safety practices which must be carried out in laboratories. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the extent to which the safety ...

ABSTRACT Biological treatment of wastewater from Wupa Wastewater Treatment Plant, Abuja was investigated. Wastewater samples were collected from the inlet and effluent point (before and after the ultra violet radiation unit) of the treatment plant. The physicochemical parameters; temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) and dissolved oxygen (DO) were measured. The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were obtained from samples collected ...

ABSTACT This project has the aim of studying the fertility and mortality rate in Osogbo Local Government.  The study employed the use of statistical methods like moving Average, least square and Demography analysis.  The result of the analysis shows that there is relationship between fertility and mortality. It is also the predictive power of an increase. Therefore, it is recommended that government should provide more medical facilities for easy delivery. ...

Since the quality of the River is polluted by the waste from different sources. This project or research which its objective is to find out exactly the contributions of the hydrologic cycle to the water quality of otamiri river and the health implications of these sorts ...

Abstract Hydrocarbon Insecticides: Insecticides are used to control diseases spread by arthropods, but theys vary greatly in toxicity. Toxicity depends on the chemical and physical properties of a substance, and may be defined as the quality of being poisonous or harmful to animals or plants. Poisons have many different modes of action, but in general cause biochemical changes which interfere with normal body functions. Toxicity can be either acute or ...
