Evaluation of Reservoir’s Petrophysical Parameters, Niger Delta, Nigeria

Petrophysical analysis was performed in two wells in the Niger Delta Region, Nigeria. This study is aimed at making available petro-physical data, basically water saturation calculation using cementation values of 2.0 for the reservoir formations of two wells in the Niger delta basin. A suite of geophysical open hole logs namely Gamma ray; Resistivity, Sonic, Caliper and Density were used to determine petrophysical parameters. The parameters determined are; volume of shale, porosity, water sa...

The selected biomarkers used for this work are GapdH, KIM-1, IL-1B, GSR, CAT, GPX-1 and IL-1Alpha at 30, 100 and 1000 mg/ml concentration. Seven week-old, male wistar rats from the Centre for Bioc...

Evaluation of Quantitative Elemental Compositions and Antioxidant Potentials of Spondias Mombin Extracts (Linn), A Precursor Against Infectious Diseases

The purpose of this research work is to investigate the elemental composition and antioxidant potentials of Spondias mombin (leaf, root and stem bark) at concentration of 10, 20 and 5mg/ml. using different conventional laboratory methods, also to determine the antioxidant potentials of Spondias mombin. The element present are Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Copper(Cu), Manganese (Mn), Potasium (K) and Phosphorus (P).it was observed that all elements...

Phenotypic identification and antibiogram profile of citrobacter species

The administration of antimicrobial agents on patients had a major impact on the rate of survival from infections. However, the evolving and the changing patterns of antimicrobial resistance posed a threat and caused a demand for review of the existing antibiotic policy or a demand for new antibacterial agents. This study was designed to determine the phenotypic identification in Citrobacter species and Antibiogram profile of citrobacter species isolated from University College Hospital (UCH)...

Bio-guided Isolation, Purification and Chemical Characterization of Epigallocatechin; Epicatechin, Stigmasterol, Phytosterol

Spondias mombin (Linn.) is a widely cultivated edible plant used in folkloric medicine for the treatment of severe infection and health disorders. This research work was carried out to isolation, purification and chemical characterization the bioactive constituents of the ethyl acetate stem bark fraction of Spondias mombin (Linn.), a medicinally important plant of the Anacardiaceae family. This study revealed the presence of flavonoid and steroids, which have been found to be important hormon...

INDUSTRIAL GREYWATER RECYCLING AND REUSE: A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR MILLIKEN & COMPANY, MIDDLETON

This report is a product of an extensive research project seeking to recycle laundry wash water for Milliken Industrials Limited, Middleton, U.K. Data gathered from meter readings in Milliken Industrial Ltd, Middleton, has constantly indicated the laundry aspect of their manufacturing process as by far, the process that consumes the largest volume of water, thereby resulting in high water utility bills. This singular process contributes significantly to the company‘s operating cost, since a...

Antibacterial and Antifungal Efficacy of Partially Partitioned Fractions of Spondias mombin (Linn) Extracts (Root, Leaf and Stem Bark) against Clinical and Environmental Isolates

The purpose this research work is to determine the antibacterial and antifungal assay of partitioned fractions of S. mombin (Linn) extracts against clinical and environmental isolates. 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 (1 kg) 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 temperat...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CLOUD-BASED MOBILE LEARNING PLATFORM

ABSTRACT Mobile computing involves the use of portable handheld devices having network connections to access online resources especially via the internet. With mobile computing, people can collaborate from various distant location, they can be involved in conferences, online forums, symposiums, etc. One of such important services offered by mobile computing is Mobile learning. Mobile learning or M-learning has been realized as a convenient, efficient and effective way of learning. However, wi...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITIES OF MEDICATED SOAPS ON SOME SELECTED BACTERIA FROM THE SKIN

Four medicated soaps (Ghana soap, Tetmosol, Beneks’, and Crusader) were investigated for their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis. A total number of thirty (30) students of Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta state, 15 males and 15 females were skin swabbed with sterile swab sticks. Identification of the bacterial species was by standard microbiological techniques. Crusader soap had the mean highest antibacterial activity (15.3 mm) agains...

IMPROVING NETWORK SECURITY USING ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOSYSTEM

Securing a network wired or wireless for network administrator has been a big challenges for network administrators in the present day of Internet usage. This project presents ECDSA Cryptosystem as a solution to the problem been faced by network administrators and Engineers. The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the elliptic curve analogue of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) with the attractiveness that there is no sub exponential algorithm known to solve the elliptic...

Agrobacterium Tumefaciens as a Tool for Transformation.

Plant transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil plant pathogenic bacterium, has become the most used method for the introduction of foreign genes into plant cells and the subsequent regeneration of transgenic plants. This review focuses on the host recognition and the process of gene transfer from Agrobacterium tumefaciens to plant cells which implies several essential steps.

FLORISTICS AND STRUCTURE OF FALLOW VEGETATION

Vegetation-environment (soil) was studied in fallow plots in Uyo, ranging from 0-year-old to 6-year-old. Systematicsampling method was used to sample both vegetation and soil. The parameters determined for vegetation included; Height,Frequency, Basal area and Crown cover for all species. The soil physical and chemical properties were also determined.Results obtained showed that there were eight (8) plant species in the 0-year old plot, 12 species in the 2-year old plot,20 species of plants in...

Characterization and corrosion behavior of selected steels in 3.5M Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Solution

This research investigated the corrosion behaviour of selected steels (low carbon, medium carbon and high carbon steels) in 3.5 molar sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The selected steels were cut into smaller sizes, after which they were heat treated and immersed in the corrosive media (3.5M NaCl solution) for corrosion test investigation. The immersion test was setup for 60 days for the comparative study of the behaviour of the selected steels in the corrosive media. Metallography of the ste...
