The dynamics of Desmidacean populations in Ologe lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria

An investigation into the dynamics of Desmidacean populations in Ologe lagoon was carried out for a period of 24 months. It covered identification, diversity and elucidating the influence of some physical and chemical parameters on temporal abundance and spatial distribution of the Desmidacea. Five villages around the lagoon were sampled using standard techniques. Data obtained were statistically analyzed...

Biochemical effectiveness in liver detoxication of fresh pineapple (Ananas comosus) with the wistar rats, previously intoxicated by Doliprane®

The effect of hepatic detoxication with the help of fresh pineapple (Ananascomosus), was evaluated on 28 wistar albinos rats previously intoxicated by DOLIPRANE® containing 20% of paracetamol. Four batches consisting, each them of 7 animals were formed. Batch n° 1, was neither intoxicated nor treated. Batch n° 2 was intoxicated for 2 weeks at the rate of two two (2) grams of...

Effect of level of substitution of sweet potato (Ipomoea Batatas. L) vines for concentrate on body weight gain and carcass characteristics of browsing Arsi-Bale goats

The study was conducted for 132 days on forty growing Arsi-Bale male goats of 16.78±0.61kg initial body weight to evaluate the use of fresh sweet potato vines (SPV) and concentrate given as sole or mixtures and also to determine the optimum level of substitution. Browsing goats were supplemented with SPV and concentrate, which was gradually replaced  with fresh sweet potato vines at five levels: 0% SPV...

Response of Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter and Escherichia coli to drilling fluids

Inhibition of ammonia oxidation by Nitrosomonas, nitrite oxidation by Nitrobacterand carbon IV oxide evolution by Escherichia coli were employed as indices to determine the effect of four drilling fluids (Paradril, IMC0-W, IMC0-O and Gel/KCL/polymer to these bacteria.  The percentage survival (determined by aerobic spread plate count) of these bacteria when exposed to these fluids was...
