Aim: This study was designed to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among apparently healthy undergraduate students in Uyo, South-South, Nigeria. Methodology: Microscopic examination, bacteriological analysis and antibiotic susceptibility profile of the bacterial...
Aims: Present investigation was performed to assess the phytotoxic effect of weed, Ageratum conyzoides L. on two pulses, lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) and the ameliorative role of selenium (Se) to counter it. Place and Duration of Study: Leaf...
The continuous increase in the scientific breakthroughs which has existed for some decades, has greatly contributed to the ease of human existence in all ramification. However, these sucesses are not without their short-comings. One of the major challenges faced, is the uncontrol...
Aims: The study was designed to explore the floristic composition and vegetation classification. Place and Duration of Study: A survey of natural vegetation of Tehsil Takht-e-Nasrati, District Karak was undertaken in summer 2010-2011. The study was conducted within four distinct...
An interest in natural products from plants has been increased due to the disruption of natural biological control systems, undesirable effects on non-target organisms, environmental hazards, and the development of resistance to synthetic insecticides, which are applied in order...
Aim: Many of the studies that have been carried out to investigate the toxicity of kerosene have been large-dose, acute-setting experiments. Although the hepatic and renal damage as a result of kerosene exposure has been demonstrated in an earlier study in female Wistar rats, gen...
