In this work, we thoroughly assess the CO2 adsorption behaviour of a recently reported, pillared-layered CuII ethylenediphosphonate of formula Cu2(H2O)1.7(O3P–C2H4–PO3)1.5H2O (Cu-EtP), that features narrow channel-like pores (diameter o 5 Å). Once the metal coordinated H2O molecules are removed, Cu-EtP features a very high density of open metal sites (0.0188 sites Å-3) and can adsorb a significant amount of CO2 at saturation (2.9 mmol g-1, 6.9 mmol cm-3). Most interesting, it displays a...
Majorly, the world has experienced and is experiencing several outbreaks of infectious diseases that has resulted into an epidemic. The call for proper evaluation and optimal control strategies for such outbreaks is of topmost priority and also reduction or eradication of such infectious disease is paramount. Mathematical models have been developed to this effect to determine, evaluate, predict the spread and ascertain any future effect of such infectious diseases. Our main focus will be main...
Overtime the parameters commonly used to measure the population of a location are number of population in figure, population density in and population growth in percentage. These parameters are not enough to quantify the intensity of the population of the entities of a place. The previous methods of measuring population which are number of population in figure and population density in have huge, lengthy and large figure which is difficult to work with and interpret. Knowing the magnitud...
The generation of coefficients of terms of positive and negative powers of n and −n of Kifilideent rinomial theorem as the terms are progress is stressful and time-consuming which the same problem is identified with coefficients of terms of binomial theorem of positive and negative powers of n and −n. This slows the process of producing the series of any particular trinomial expansion. This study established Kifilideen coefficient tables for positive and negative powers of n and −n ...
Fraud detection is used in various industries, including banking institutes, finance, insurance, government agencies, etc. Recent increases in the number of fraud attempts make fraud detection crucial for safeguarding financial information that is confidential or personal. Many types of fraud problems exist, including card-not-present fraud, fake Marchant, counterfeit checks, stolen credit cards, and others. We proposed an ensemble feature selection technique based on Recursive feature el...
The wrong and excessive use of antibiotics in the poultry industry poses a threat to public health due to the release of antibiotic-resistant bacteria into the environment and its impact on consumers of poultry products. This research aimed to investigate the occurrence and patterns of antibiotic resistance found in Klebsiella species isolated from poultry faeces in Owo metropolis. Fecal samples were collected from healthy broilers in three privately-owned poultry farms in Owo, using sterile ...
Background and Objectives: Abuse and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, prolong hospital admission, travel history, organ transplants, immunocompromised conditions and age are parts of the factors that contribute to development of antibiotic resistance and intestinal carriage of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) Enterobacteriaceae. These bacteria affect the course and outcome of an infection and continue to pose a challenge to infection management worldwide. This study was carried out ...
Beta-lactamase enzymes e.g. metallo β-lactamases (MBLs) that produces Gram-negative bacteria is no doubt one of the widely spread resistance strategies which was geared by these group of bacteria towards β-lactam drugs. MBLs hydrolyzes bacteria and resist carbapenems. This study aimed at determining the antibiogram and the production of MBLs by Klebsiella species from poultry feaces in Owo metropolis. From Poultry feaces aseptically collected Klebsiella species was isolated using MacConkey ...
One of the most common sources of protein globally is catfish which are artificially reared in Nigeria. Pseudomonas species are opportunistic in nature, pathogenic Gram negative bacteria and may build multidrug resistant which can cause a serious threat to public health when present in environmental samples. This research was meant to determine the antibiogram of Pseudomonas species and its prevalence isolated from catfish ponds in Owo metropolis. The pond’s water samples were aseptically c...
Pseudomonas species are most available pathogenic Gram negative bacteria in environmental samples. They are resistant to several drugs, opportunistic pathogen and their presence in the environment poses threat to the public health. The ability of microorganisms to survive in the presence of antimicrobial agents at a situation that can kill or enhance their growth is known as antimicrobial resistance. This has become a serious threat globally, which makes the treatment of infections in humans ...
Pseudomonas species are common pathogenic Gram negative bacteria frequently found in environmental samples. Pseudomonas species are responsible for different healthcare-associated infections and are inherently resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. This study was aimed at isolating; identifying and determining the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Pseudomonas species isolated from pig feaces in Owo metropolis. Freshly passed feacal samples were aseptically collected from apparentl...
This study was carried out to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile and the production of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) by Escherichia coli isolated from cow dung in Owo metropolis. The isolation of Escherichia coli was done using MacConkey agar and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar and was conventionally characterized. Antimicrobial susceptibility test of the isolates were by disc diffusion method against ceftazidime (30 μg), cefuroxime (30 μg), gentamicin (10 μg), cefixime (5 μg), ofloxa...
Abstract Mathematics is a key subject which students cannot avoid if they have to lead a bright future. Despite the introduction and implementation of different teaching methods and strategies suggested by researchers the achievement of students in mathematics at school level has persistently been poor, hence the need to explore the influence of different instructional approaches. The purpose of this study was to find out the extent to which instructional practices influenced students’ ach...
Plants have been utilized for medicinal reasons since the dawn of time. Pharmacologists and organic chemists have synthesized a wide range of intriguing chemical compounds from medicinal plants in recent decades, which have shown to be quite useful in the practice of optometry and medicine. There is now an increase in global demand for the use of herbal medicines due to enhanced laboratory research and the pharmacological characteristics of bioactivities from natural sources and their potenti...
Detecting brain tumors early is crucial for precise diagnosis and the development of effective treatment strategies, given the severity of the condition involving the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cell clusters in the brain.This research introduces an innovative Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model augmented with an attention mechanism for the classification of brain tumor images, utilizing a comprehensive dataset of 3,000 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans sourced from Kaggle.
