Abstract: A forest web-based information management system is a great instrument in guaranteeing forests been managed in a sustainable way. Disagreeing with the development in technological advancement, the Forestry Department of Ondo State Ministry of Natural Resources has depend on on paper-based record keeping system to carry out its mandate to citizens, which undermines the efficiency and effectiveness of Justifiable Forest Management (SFM). In view of this, this study developed a forest web-based information system for forest management in Akure, Owo and Akure-Ala forest reserves to assist user access, bring up to date and retrieve forest information. This was accomplished by........

Abstract: The present work study the ability of Euphorbia hirta leaves (EHL) to remove methylene blue dye from contaminated water. The optimum parameters such as contact time, particle size, absorbent dose, initial metal concentration, and pH were investigated by performing batch experiments models. The kinetics and the isotherms adsorption were evaluated by varying the initial concentration and using the optimum parameters. The optimum of contact time is 120 min and the removal capacity is 98.39 %. A mass of 300 mg is sufficient to reach the maximum removal of methylene blue (96.98 %). The maximum adsorption is obtained with an initial methylene blue concentration of 75 ppm (98.75%). The optimum particle size is 250 m. The kinetics of the adsorption process are in accordance with the pseudo-second order model. Experimental values of the adsorption capacity are close proximity to the optimum values predicted by the pseudo-second order model. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms are not suitable to explain the experimental isotherm.

Abstract: Science the ancient time the awareness and practices of traditional knowledge in Indian medicine system and therapy system are accepted all over the world, according to the survey of down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder in India. While it had claimed that the association of autism spectrum disorder and down syndrome was uncommon there are now a substantial number of studies demonstrating that subgroup of those with down syndrome will also reach the diagnostic criteria for an ASD. The review examines published research on the prevalence of ASD and down syndrome population is also examined with regard to published case studies and profile on ASD screening and diagnostic........

Abstract: The shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa Gaertn.) is a species that is protected by the forestry code of the Republic of Mali due to its socio-economic and ecological role for the rural populations. However, this species encounters constraints such as the lack of efficient varieties, insufficient promotion of the sector, and the irregularity of fruit production.
The objective of this study is to contribute to the improvement the socio-economic and environmental conditions of rural populations through the promotion of shea tree cultivation. It was conducted in the rural commune of Siby located in the southern Sudanian zone of Mali. The work focused on determining the influence of landscaping and fertilization on the behavior of shea trees in the agroforestry parks of Makandiana village. The average diameter of the crown varied.......

Abstract: Isolation and characterization of bacteria associated with corrosion of pipelines was investigated using soil samples collected along oil pipelines and at 500m away in oil producing communities of Delta State. Bacteria enumeration was carried out using nutrient agar, Postgate's medium B (solid), modified Starkey medium, Iron reducing medium (FWA-FE (III) medium), Iron and manganese bacteria agar, Manganese agar no 2, Sulfur amended Mackintosh medium, Thiobacillus medium and Pseudomonas medium A. The isolates were screened for their potentials to corrode metals. The isolates with the best ability to corrode were subsequently identified using standard bacteriological test protocol (Gram reaction and Analytical profile index (API) rapid test kit).The highest bacterial count of........

Abstract: Chitosan is the second-most abundant natural biopolymer that possess excellent nontoxic, antimicrobial, biocompatible and biodegradable properties and has been used as a protective finish in food industry because of its proven antimicrobial activity. Various nanocomposites of chitosan exhibited better antimicrobial performance than Native chitosan biopolymer. This article seeks to review extensively the use of nano fillers like metal ions metal oxides, referred to as chitosan nanoparticles, for significant improvement or better use of antimicrobial properties of chitosan in food industry with the help of nanotechnology to increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. The article also studies in detail the extended properties of the target, methods of application, its effect and the microorganisms inhibited in the process

Abstract: This study consists of an assessment of the problem of poor management of plastic packaging and its environmental risks in the city of Basoko. Three techniques were used to carry out this work: direct observation, documentary analysis, and surveys. The analysis reveals that despite the Congolese legislation, the production and use of plastic packaging among the local and urban population is still ongoing practice. In the city of Basoko, a rural entity, the use of plastic packaging, population also relies on cardboard and plant leaves from forest as packaging. The only difference is that the ardboard and leaves are biodegradable. According to the categorisation, our sample includes a.......
