ABSTRACT Tinea pedis, a fungal infection of the feet, especially within the toe webs and soles was studied using 40 soldiers (20men and 20women) as a case study. This infection is related to footwear having been considered to be a new dermatophytoses. The soldiers have the toe webs and soles cleaned with alcohol or sterile water and the lesions scrapped with sterile scalpel and placed between two glass slides with a drop of 10-20% kOH and then viewed under microscope.

ABSTRACT Research works in the field of electronic learning are represented by a broad spectrum of applications, ranged from virtual classrooms to remote courses or distance learning. In this project work I propose a simple web-based e-learning system, in which, students can carry out their registration process, get access to course materials and make contact with their course lecturers. In addition, teachers can track the activities of their students and can guide them to reach the pre-deter...

Methods The processing methods was based on the methods of Uvere et al., (2010). Production of maize-bambara and maize-cowpea food blends The maize, bambara groundnut and cowpea seeds were cleaned by win...
ABSTRACTS Some compounds have been proposed as analytical reagents for the spectrophotometric determination of chromium, tin and lead ions. The application of these reagents for the determination of these metal ions is listed and several procedures are described to illustrate the fundamental conditions for the spectrophotometric determination of these metal ions. Key words: Analytical reagents, chromium, tin, lead, spectrophotometric determination, extraction, complexes. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Ch...

ABSTRACT Samples of well water were collected from four (4) different wells located in different parts of New Haven in Enugu urban area, for bacteriological analysis. Total bacterial counts, using pour plate method were carried out. Nutrient agar plates were used for general bacterial count, while MacConkey agar plates were used for total coliform count. The four different wells that were examined showed different bacterial counts. A total of four different bacteria were isolat...
ABSTRACT Ugba is a delicacy popular among the Ibo ethnic group of Nigeria, made by the fermentation of boiled seeds of African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophyllea Benth). The microorganisms and compounds influencing the organoleptice properties of ugba were studied. The pure cultures of these microorganisms isolated from (ugba) sample produced by traditional method, were used in singles and in combinations to ferment African oil bean shreds. The ugba so fermented were analyzed organoleptical...
ABSTRACT The study was carried out to assess the food consumption pattern, lifestyle and body mass index of market women in Ikosi-isheri local government area of Lagos state. One hundred and fifty respondents were selected from two markets using random sampling method. Data were collected using 24-hour dietary recall, diet history, anthropometric data such as height, weight and body mass index was also calculated. The data was analyzed by using descriptive analysis such as frequency and per...
ABSTRACT In order to investigate the effects of Yoyo and Swedish bitters on arylesterase activity in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), 40 male albino rats were divided into 6 groups; i, 3-week Yoyo bitters. ii, 3-week Swedish bitters. iii, 3-week control. iv, 6-week Yoyo bitters. v, 6-week Swedish bitters, vi, 6-week control. Daily weight of animals were determined and dosage of bitters corresponding to weight of each animal was administered. VLDL was isolated by a simple precipitation pr...
ABSTRACT This study was conducted primarily to evaluate the consumer acceptability of spiced composite bread. The socio-economic characteristics, spiced composite bread consumption pattern of the consumer and the purchase intent through the use of questionnaire were also determined using a structured questionnaire. The bread samples were evaluated in terms of appearance, taste, texture and overall liking using nine-point hedonic scale. Interestingly, over 95% of the consumers (N=200) rated s...
ABSTRACT This work was carried out to investigate the chemical properties of the water extract of zobo (Hibiscus sabdariffa) drink using the modern atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Zobo drink is a popular drink in the Nigeria, especially in the northern part of Nigeria. The result of the analysis indicated that the drink is high in vital mineral nutrients required for the healthy growth by humans and for the proper metabolic processes to be adequately maintained. Zobo drink is high, as i...
INTRODUCTIONChlamydiae are small gram-negative obligate intracellular microorganisms that preferentially infect squamocolumnar epithelial cell (www. Google. Com.2010). Chlamydia is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease resulting in urethritis, with frequencies exceeding those of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In the United State for instance, roughly four million cases are reported annually mostly occurring in men and women under the age of 25 (Barners, 1990). In Nigeria and indeed most ...
