Coagulation and Antimicrobial Activities of Moringa oleifera Seeds in Water Purification

ABSTRACT In this study, proximate analysis, jar test, turbidity, pH measurement and microbial count were carried out, to evaluate the coagulation and antimicrobial activities of Moringa oleifera seeds. Defatted Moringa oleifera seeds obtained by solvent extraction of Moringa oleifera seeds powder used n-hexane and seed cake was dried. Protein was obtained by extraction used NaOH. Results of this study revealed that seeds powder is rich in lipids (33.33%) and has carbohydrate, protein, moistu...

Enhanced Scheme for Video Transmission over Mobile Ad hoc Networks based on Optimized Link State Routing Protocol

Abstract A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less wireless network which allows a group of mobile devices to connect wirelessly without centralized administration. MANETs are useful when rapid deployment in infrastructure-less locations is required, or under emergency situations where communication is not available. Video conferencing over MANET is challenging due to features that characterize this type of network. This thesis proposed an enhanced scheme based on tuning, mod...

Detection of fingerprint using He-Ne (632.8 nm) and Diode (532 nm) lasers

Abstract Fingerprints have many uses, chemical solution usually used to detect fingerprints but it takes a time. In this research He-Ne laser with output power 1mmW and wavelength 632.8nm and Diode laser with output power 5mmW and wavelength 532 nm were used to detect fingerprints on Aluminum surface and other Glass surface, fingerprints was exposure by laser beam through convex lens with focal length 5mm then a digital camera was used to record irradiated fingerprint. The revealed results s...

Some Of The Limit Cycle Problems And Critical Points For Planar Systems

Abstract This study is an applied analytical one that helps in solving problems of the limit cycle and critical points for Planar systems. We introduced the classification of stable and unstable critical points of linear and nonlinear systems. The study found that the linear systems do not have a limit cycle. The study dealt with isolated limit cycle with its different patterns in an analytical and applied manner in the differential Planar systems of the second degree. The study investigated...

Arbitration as a method for disputes' resolution in Construction Industry in Sudan

Abstract Construction industry is one of the major international industries and always takes place as agreat investment which needs huge capitals and wide experience. Contracts in the construction industry are fundamentals issues however technical support is necessary in all construction contracts for proper conduct adequate outputs. Usually contracts between different parties (contractor,client and consultant) include rights and obliquation which may not always be in abalance way. This migh...

Effect of Quality System on the Microbiological Quality of Sudanese Carbonated Soft Drinks

Abstract Three brands of non-alcoholic carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) from three plants in Khartoum, Sudan which were named A, B and C; were examined for their microbiological quality. Plants were selected according to their quality system ‘A being the highest C being the lowest’. Samples were analyzed for (TBC); Yeast and Mold, coliform bacteria and acid tolerant microorganisms using membrane filtration method. Carbonated soft drinks from Plant C were the worst in microbiological quality...

Chemical Industry: An Index Of The Technological Development Of A Nation

INTRODUCTION Definition and Explanation of some Terms What is a chemical industry? It is difficult to define chemical industry exactly because of the absolute necessity for chemicals in almost every manufacturing industry. However, chemical industry can be defined as one that consists of all companies engaged in converting raw materials obtained from the environment (air, water, petroleum, minerals, agricultural products etc) into basic chemicals or chemical intermediates as well as the co...

Internet Of Things Based Model For Preeclampsia Monitoring In Antenatal Care

In the health sector, the health of women is a significant public health issue, which impacts the personal well-being, family reproduction, and societal development. Therefore, knowledge about the health of women has led to an emerging requirement for healthcare sectors to obtain the real-time status and data of various applications that can improve the performance and accuracy of the health production. Globally, it has been found that women die due to pregnancy and childbirth consequences. T...

In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity Of Methanolic Extract Of Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Against Bacteria Isolated From Urinary Tract Infected Patients In Khartoum

Abstract Medicinal plants have been widely used in folk medicine. They are considered today as an interesting source of new drug due to their bioactive components. The genus, Cymbopogon schenanthus (Poaceae). is an aromatic plant seems important source of several bioactive compound use in traditional medicine . This was descriptive and cross sectional study conducted during the period from June to October 2018, to determine the antimicrobial activity of Cymbopogon schoenanthus methanolic ext...

Classification of Diabetic Patients using Computational Intelligent Techniques

Abstract Diabetes Mellitus is one of the fatal diseases growing at a rapid rate in de- veloping countries. This rate is also critical in the developed countries, Dia- betes Mellitus being one of the major contributors to the mortality rate. De- tection and diagnosis of Diabetes at an early stage is the need of the day. It is required that a classifier is be designed so as to work efficient, convenient and most importantly, accurate. Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing Techniques mimic ...

Extraction, and Physicochemical Characterization of Solanum dubium Seed Oil.

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the quantity of Solanum dubium seeds oil and study some physio-chemical properties of the extracted oil. The results show the oil yield was (50%), fatty acid composition was (75%), phytochemical screening of the seed powder show higher Alkaloids contents (+ + +), moderate Flavinoid composition (+ +), low tannin content (+) and free of Saponine, Cumarin, Steroids, and Anthraquinones. Investigation of the chemical properties show the Saponifica...

A Proposed Automatic Speech Recognition Model For The Sudanese Dialect

Abstract Nowadays, speech recognition plays a major role in designing a natural voice interface for communication between human and their modern digital life equipment. It is presenting an easy way to cross the language barrier between monolingual individuals. But the obvious problem with this field is the lack of wide support for several universal languages and their dialects; while most of the daily interaction is done using them. This research comes to ensure the viability of designing the...

Developing And Assessing A Cyber-resilience Framework For Kenyan Banks.

Rampant cyber incidences in Kenya targeting banks call for mediations beyond existing cybersecurity principles. This quantitative study sought to collate multi-domain variables from previous works to develop a framework for measuring cyber-resilience in Kenyan banks known as the Cyber-resilience Framework for Banks (CRF4Banks). The framework consists of eight key cyber-resilience constructs and their constituent variables, identified from empirical research and literature. Cyber-resilien...

Sudanese Vehicles License Plate Recognition

ABSTRACT Vehicle license plate recognition is a computer vision method that aims to automatically recognize the vehicle’s identification number from the vehicle image. Therefore, it is an important component for automating many control and surveillance systems, such as: road traffic monitoring, private and public entrances, highway electronic toll collection, red light violation enforcement, and theft control. Although, considerable researches have been carried out for vehicle license plate...

Study of the optical properties of aluminum doped Zinc Oxide using Ultra Violet characterization technique.

Abstract In this work, zinc oxide nano particles were synthesized by sol-gel method, from Zinc Acetate dehydrates (ZnC4H6O4). 2H2O, then the aluminum oxide was also prepared by sol-gel method from Aluminum acetate C6H9AlO6. Then ZnO was mixed by Al2O3 with concentration ratio of (0, 25, 50) % to get four samples of AZO, these samples were characterized with UV-VIS spectrometer, and the optical properties of AZO were studied. It is clearly seen that the energy gap decrease with increasing of ...
