THE INHIBITIVE EFFECT OF ALANINE ON CORROSION OF ALUMINIUM IN 0.5 M HCL SOLUTION USING THE WEIGHT LOSS TECHNIQUE
BACKGROUND OF STUDY: Corrosion is defined as a natural process, which converts refined metal to their more stable oxide. It is the gradual destruction or degradation of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment which are most likely inevitable. Corrosion is a natural and costly process of destruction like earthquakes, tornados, floods and vocanic eruptions, with one major difference. Whereas we can be only a silent spectator to the above processes...

INTRODUCTION: Reckitt Benckiser is the company that creates the Dettol brand of hygiene products and markets them under the brand name Dettol. It dates back to far before the 1980s when it was first implemented. Antiseptics are antimicrobial compounds that are administered to live tissue or skin to lessen the risk of infection, sepsis, or putrefaction. Antiseptics are also known as anti-putrefactives. In general, antibiotics are distinguished from antiseptics by the latt...
View DetailsTHE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF CULINARY HERBS AND LOCAL SPIES
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Herbs and spices have long been used by ancient civilsations for culinary, medicinal and cosmetic uses. With modernization and the development of patent medicines, the use of natural cures and elixirs decrease in popularity.
Nowadays, disillusionment with synthetic drugs, artificial additives and their possible sides effects has given great rise in popularity to many natural products, be it for culinary,...
View DetailsAFFINITY AND REACTIVITY STUDIES OF THE REACTION OF HUMAN (Homo sapiens) AND CAT (Felis catus) HAEMOGLOBINS WITH 5,5´-DITHIOBIS(2-NITROBENZOATE)
ABSTRACT
Some haemoglobins have high oxygen affinity (high-affinity) while others have low oxygen affinity (low-affinity) as exemplified in human and cat haemoglobins respectively. High-affinity haemoglobins bind organic phosphates strongly and this lowers their oxygen affinities and their CysF9[93]β sulphydryl reactivities. Low-affinity haemoglobins on the other hand, bind organic phosphates weakly, and their oxygen affinities are hardly affected. Consequently, an assumption w...

ABSTRACT
Acacia niloticais a multipurpose plant belonging to the family Mimosaceae. Commonly known as Prickly acacia in English and Bagaruwa in Hausa, It has medicinal properties which include antimalaria, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, etc. Traditionally, the pods are used for stomach disorder, foot and mouth disease, sore throat, dysentery, among others. This research was aimed at isolating from the pod of this plant and testing for its antimicrobial activity which...
View DetailsAPPLICATION OF CHEMOMETRICS TECHNIQUE TO NUTRITIONAL QUALITY EVALUATION OF SELECTED UNPROCESSEDAND PROCESSED WHEAT PRODUCTS IN MINNA, NIGER STATE
ABSTRACT
The study focused on the application of chemometric technique to nutritional quality evaluation of selected processed and unprocessed wheat products in Minna, Niger state. Fourteen wheat samples were collected from three markets in Minna. Proximate compositions of the samples were determined using standard methods. The samples were first wet ashed using H2SO4, H2O2 and deionized water before instrumental analysis using FES for (Na, K, Mg and Ca), colorimetry (P) and AAS for...

1.1Background of the Study
Plants are important in our everyday existence. They provide our foods, produce the oxygen we breathe, and serve as raw materials for many industrial products such as clothes, foot wears and so many others. Plants also provide raw materials for our buildings and in the manufacture of biofuels, dyes, perfumes, pesticides, adsorbents and drugs. The plant kingdom has proven to be the most useful in the treatment of diseases and they provide an important sourc...
View DetailsEFFECT OF GREEN TEA (CAMELLIA SINENSIS) ON THE PHARMACOKINETIC PROFILE OF CEPHALEXIN IN HEALTHY HUMAN VOLUNTEERS
ABSTRACT
Tea is a herb commonly consumed globally. Herbs are often taken concurrently with conventional medicines which results in increased potential of drug-herb interactions, and this may have important clinical significance based on an increasing number of reports of such interactions. This research work, determines the effects of green tea (Camellia sinensis) on the pharmacokinetic profile of cephalexin in healthy human volunteers. Quality control studies were conducted on a sa...

ABSTRACT
Pharmacokinetics is the study of the time course of drug movement in the body during absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination.Drug interactions are pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, or clinical responses to the administration of a drugcombination that differs from the known effects of the individual drugs administered alone. The clinicalconsequences of drug interactions may be antagonistic, additive, synergistic, or idiosyncratic, resulting in treatmentfailure,...

1.1Introduction
The relevance of science to national goals, aspirations and economy dictates to a large extent, the huge commitment and support which nations make and give to science and technology advancement. This may be the reason why Achor (2006) and Ada (2008) opined that as a result of the speed at which the world is changing technologically, the need and usefulness of teaching and learning of science therefore cannot be over looked. The classification of any nation into devel...
View DetailsEFFECTS OF OXYGENATES ON NEEM AND TIGERNUT OIL METHYL ESTER
Abstract
Biodiesel is a biodegradable, environment friendly, renewable and energy efficiency fuel. It is becoming the most prominent alternative to petro-diesel. Due to current environmental concerns, quality and properties of biodiesel have to be optimized to remove its limitations. The use of oxygenates additives have proved to play such important role. The purpose of this research work was to compare the effects of oxygenates on biodiesel properties such as viscosity, heat conten...
