Aims: To investigate the susceptibility pattern Salmonella enterica strains to selected antibiotics and extract of Dalbergia latifolia as well as their combinatory effect on (multi-drug resistant) MDR salmonella. Place and Duration of Study: Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ibadan, Nigeria from October 2012-May 2013. Methodology: In this study, a total of 11 clinical isolates of Salmonella enterica strains were screened in vitro against five antibiotics (ampicillin, amoxycillin, chloramph...
Aims: To investigate the prevalence and susceptibility pattern Salmonella enterica strains to ceftriaxone in southwestern Nigeria. Place and Duration of Study: Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ibadan, Nigeria from November 2012-May 2013. Methodology: Isolates of Salmonella enterica were characterized by established standard cultural and biochemical tests and was screened in-vitro for their sensitivity to different antibiotics (ampicillin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole and ceft...
A total number of 60 samples of water leaf were collected from different areas in Enugu Metropolis, these samples were inoculated and examined to detect the presence of sorbitol negative Escherichia coli 0157:H7. About 35(17.5%) samples out of the 50 samples inoculated were found to be sorbitol negative E-coli. From the result E-coli 0157:H7 is the predominant serotype accounting for 90% of all VTEC isolates.

The system developed in this paper uses a cloud based multi-channel technology to implement and design a robust and dynamic cross platform software as a services (SaaS) application for students’ information management system (SIMS). The system runs on a network of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for the purpose of overcoming the lapses associated with the existing systems developed for managing students’ information. The system was built with the capability to resolve issues on manu...
This academic work discusses how to detect and analyse steganography in digital files. It also shows an experiment on how Stegonography was conducted and detected using different softwares and methods.
ABSRACT Radon is a natural radioactive inert gas that is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It cannot be detected without special equipment and it occurs as a product of uranium decay. Radon is an unstable radionuclide that disintegrates through short lived decay products before eventually reaching the end product of stable lead. The short lived decay products of radon are responsible for most of the hazard by inhalation and ingestion. Radon and its decay products emit highly ionizing alpha-r...
ABSTRACT Pleurotus species are popularly known as oyster mushroom which are regarded as one of the edible mushroom of commercial important throughout the whole world. Utilization of this depends on the ability to secrete cellulolytic and hemilocellulolytic enzymes which can make use of wide spectrum of Agro industrial wastes for the growth and frutification. In this study potato dextrose agar was the only growth medium used to prepared the mycelia of P. pulmonarius. Then the culture was tran...

ABSTRACT Milk, Yoghurt and Cheese are highly valuable food which are readily digested and have high concentration of nutrients which have proved to be a heaven of microbes, studies were conducted on the isolation and identification of microbes [Fungi and Bacteria] on peak canned milk, yoghurt, locally prepared cheese and cheese water. It was revealed that yoghurt was devoid of microbes while milk, locally prepared cheese and cheese water harboured microbes. Locally prepared cheeses, cheese ...
ABSTRACT The manual method of obtaining birth or death certificate is complex and impractical for increase in birth rate and death rate. The cost of obtaining a birth or death certificate, risk and stress of communicating with the National Population Commission (NPC) officials, loss of certificate are some of the possible problems of the manual process of obtaining birth or death certificate. Before a birth or death certificate can be issued by NPC, the birth or death must have been registe...
This paper is titled 'Microbiology of Meat Spoilage'. It clearly explains those Spoilage microorganisms associated with the Spoilage of meat and meat products and also the preservative method to be used in preserving meat. On the basis of its high moisture content and presence of adequate nutrient, meat is regarded as the most perishable product (Magnus, 1986) and thereby highly susceptible to spoilage by microbial proliferation. Apart...
ABSTRACT Rotavirus is a common cause of diarrhea in children. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of rotavirus antigen in children below five years presenting with diarrhea in Gombe State. Thirty (30) stool samples were analysed using ELISA KIT. Out of the total number of samples analyzed, a prevalence of 6.67% was recorded all of which are between the age group 7-12 months. A more comprehensive survey is recommended to depict true states of rotavirus as an etiology o...
Secure communication over the Internet has been a global issue till date. Encryption combined with steganography tends to be the best approach to curb the challenge. This paper proposes another approach to further strengthen the existing techniques. The technique involved block encryption of plain text using image as the key and exclusive OR encryption algorithm to produce a cipher. Each bits of the cipher was hidden randomly using modulus function in a selected cover image red and blue pla...
ABSTRACT Cookies were produced from the blends of banana flour and coconut milk. The proximate composition, metabolised energy value and sensory characteristics of the cookie were evaluated. Selected functional properties of the UBF were also determined. The composition varied between coconut milk and margarine (100%; 0%, 50%; 50%, 25%; 75%, 75%; 25%, 0%; 100% respectively and the control). The UBF had possessed water and oil absorption of 185% and 139% respectively, a bulk densit...
ABSTRACT Studies on corrosion inhibition potential of Indigo Carmine extract on mild steel in acidic medium was carried out using weight loss and electrochemical techniques. It was observed that the Indigo Carmine extract retarded the dissolution of mild steel in the acidic medium. The corrosion rate decrease with increase in concentration. The CR decrease from 37.59mm/yr to 27.50mm/yr in presence of the inhibitor. The CR also increase with increase in temperature up to 60oC. The increase in ...
