Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effect of the addition of 5 and 10 % levels of groundnut and sesame flour on nutritional quality and sensory properties of bread. Proximate analyses including moisture, fat, protein, ash and fiber contents were carried out for wheat flour, groundnut flour, sesame flour and bread. Microbiological safety, physical and energy for bread were also carried out. The results obtained showed significant difference (P

Optimizing Gateway Placement In Wireless Mesh Network Using Genetic Algorithm And Simulated Annealing

ABSTRACT Recently, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has gained important roles in current communication technologies. It has been used in several applications and most of them are critical applications such as surveillance, transportation systems and rescue systems. Hence, the WMN attracts a lot of attention from many researchers. WMN consists mainly of mesh clients MCs and mesh routers MRs, some of the latter are supplied by additional functions to serve as Internet gateways (IGs). Thus, most of...

Detection Of Pollutants In Used Plastic Bottles Using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Abstract This study was conducted to analyze the components of the plastic materials used in water and drug bottles by using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Bottle samples were collected from some factories in Sudan, the samples were collected pre- and post-used. Samples were irradiated by Nd: YAG laser at 266 nm, repetition rate 2Hz, with pulse energy of 80mJ. The recorded spectra of the samples were analyzed using National Institute Standard and Technology (NIST) and Origin L...

Removal Of Acids From Sudanese Heavy Crude Oil By Polar Organic Solvents

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of removing acids from Sudanese heavy crude oil which is characterized by acid number more than 7 mg KOH/g by liquid-liquid extraction technique. In this work polar organic solvents (methanol and ethanol) was used. The processes were applied at different temperatures and organic solvents volumes. The optimum solvent, solvent ratio and temperature were determined. The physical and chemical properties of crude oil sample were te...

Chemical Characterization Of Constituents Of Coffea Arabica Seed Oil And Its Biological Activity

The major components are: Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (31.84%), 9,12- Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, methyl ester (%31.46), 9-Octadecanoic acid methyl ester (17.40%), Methyl stearate (10.84%), Eicosanoic acid methyl ester (5.04%). Antimicrobial activity of Coffea Arabica oil was conducted. The oil showed significant activity against Bacillus subtilis, moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureu...

Detection Of Bioactive Constituents In Phyllanthus AmarUs Using Thin Layer Chromatography-Bioautographic Method Against Staphylococcus Aureus And Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus AUreUs

ABSTRACT Medicinal plants have been used for centuries as remedies for human diseases because they contain components of therapeutic value. Phyllanthus amarus has shown to work as an antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral agent. Bioautography is a technique used to isolate compounds by employing a suitable chromatographic process followed by a biological detection system. Referenced pure culture antibiotics resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus strain (Co NS I Ob: Ojo) and Staphyl...

Secure Data On HTML Web Page Using Steganography With Encryption And Compression Technique

ABSTRACT Many methods are used to securely transfer data, but the greatest challenge is to be careful of being detected by the intended recipient. The most famous methods are encryption and steganography. Encryption method draws the attention of third parties, but Steganography is a method to hide data inside a carrier such as Image, Audio, Video and Text without drawing any suspicion. In this thesis, the data transfer as a text medium and in more accurate HTML file was used. This method is...

The Effect Of Changing Solvent, Dyes And Zno Nanosize On The Performance Of Zno Solar Cell

Abstract The effect of different solvents on Zinc Oxide based Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) with Nile Blue were studied. The performance of solar cells with on (FTO/ ZnO/ Blue Nile dye /FTO+ graphite and Iodine ) structures were investigated. under the effect of different solvents, which on (Methanol ,Ethanol ,Acton , Chloroform and Benzene ). Absorption and energy gap were found using UV-VS mini 1240 spectrophotometer and light current-voltage characteristics and XRD. The five (FTO/ ZnO...

Mineral Content Of Moringa Oleifera Leaves And Its Utilization In Controlling Blood Glucose Level In Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

Abstract Moringa oleifera Lam. tree grows in many tropical and subtropical countries. The seed, leaves, root and flowers of M. oleifera are often used in traditional medicine, while the immature pods, leaves and seed are used as nutrition products in human food. This study carried out proximate analysis for mineral elements assessment in dried M. oleifera leaves. Fresh leaves of M. oleifera lam were plucked from M. oleifera trees in River Nile State (Atbara Town). Analyzed for the mineral el...

Prevalence Of Human Papilloma Virus (Lgm) Antibody Among Fuoye Student

ABSTRACT Human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections(STDs) in the world. This study was to document the prevalence. of Human papilloma virus infection in Federal university Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Urine samples were collected from ninety four participants and were screened for HPV (lgM) antibody using the HPV ELISA. Out of 94 samples analysed, 2 (2.1 %) was positive for Human papilloma virus IgM, and higher prevalence were recorded i...

Integrated Geophysics Methods For Post Foundation Student Phase One, Faculty Of Social Science And Humanities, Federal University Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State

ABSTRACT A combined geophysical method involving very low electromagnetic method. magnetics and electrical resistivity methods were used in delineating the causes of crack in the building at Faculty of social Science and Humanities Oye Ekiti, Ekiti, State. Five (5) VLF-EM traverses were established in both east-west direction and also north-south direction were occupied in the building and Twenty-one (21) VES studies were also occupied around the building. The VLF-EM helped in the ident...

Chemical Characterization of Kidney Stone Samples from Some Sudanese Patients

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of kidney stones obtained from some Sudanese patients. The samples were collected after surgical removal. The samples were analyzed by FTIR and XRF spectroscopic techniques. Titrimetric analysis was carried for determination of oxalate content using standard potassium permanganate solution. The IR analysis spectra of the samples showed the appearance of (C-H), (C=O), (O-C), (N-H), (C-C), (P-CH2), (C=C), (P= O), (R-O),...

Removal Efficiency Of Some Toxic Heavy Metals From Water By Adsorption By Using Graphite Activated Carbon (GAC)

Abstract Heavy metals are known to be toxic for living organisms even if they are present at low levels. The presence of heavy metals, organic dyes and microbial pollutants in water continue to be a major concern and the removal of such contaminants is considered to be a major problem in environmental remediation. In the present study, activated graphite was used for removal of some heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption method. The adsorption efficiency of removal of he...

Integration Of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems With Java Based Application

Abstract All (Erp) systems work primarily on the restructuring of companies and institutions and the elimination of old systems, but recently became the concept of integration between systems is common, because building new systems and canceling the old one waste the effort and money There is also a lack of information exchange between ERP and legacy systems in one organization, which results in the lack of reporting of the decision makers. Old systems can be linked with (Erp) in order to av...

Modelling Of Demand For Endowment Life Insurance In Tanzania

ABSTRACT This study was done to determine the model for endowment life insurance in Tanzania. Longitudinal research design covering data from year 2003 to 2017 was used. These data were typically secondary collected from the National Insurance Corporation (T) Limited. A trend line graph was used to fit the demand model to predict the endowment life insurance in Tanzania. Among the fitted models, cubic regression model was found to be the best model fit for endowment life insurance. The study...
