The symptomatic effect is the perforation of the stomach lining. The study was aimed at evaluating the anti-ulcer activity and phytochemical constituents of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum The powdered leaves were macerated in 95%v/v of methanol for 72 h, and the dried extract obtained was washed with n-hexane (Hex), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and butanol (Buta) successively using the solvent partition method to fractionate. Phytochemical constituents were evaluated using validated methods. Acute toxicity was performed using a modified Lorke’s method. Antiulcer studies were conducted using an ethanol-induced ulcer in the rat model. The rats received 200, 400 and 20 mg per kg body weight of Ocimum .gratissimum extract, its fractions and omeprazole respectively once daily for 14 days. The extraction yielded 3.3 % methanol extract, 16.8 % n-hexane 24.4 % ethyl acetate and 5.2 % butanol fractions. The phytochemical constituents of the extracts are alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, carbohydrates, steroids and saponin. There was no mortality even at an oral dose of 5000 mg of extract/kg of mouse in the acute toxicity evaluation. The extract and its fractions (200 and 400 mg/kg doses) exhibited dose-dependent ulcer curative. The Hex fraction (400 mg/kg) demonstrated the best anti-ulcer effect with 78.5 % and ulcer index (UI) of 0.60±0.24 when compared to the standard with 50% and 1.40±0.24 respectively.

To address this, a novel approach to utilizing waste lemon peel (WLP) for the remediation of lead-contaminated sludge for land application with the circular economy in perspective is presented. The WLP was collected from local producers and characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to determine the functional groups present. The hydroxyl, carboxyl, ether, and amide groups are the main functional groups in the sample and they have been identified as potential sites responsible for binding heavy metal ions to the biomass. The sludge samples were collected from the Ahmadu Bello University Water treatment plant and analyzed for contamination. The effects of WLP on the lead sorption were investigated using batch experiments. The results indicated that lead sorption onto the WLP was significantly as high as 90.5%. The WLP was found to effectively reduce the lead from the contaminated sludge. This study aimed to identify the capability of WLP as a low-cost and sustainable material for the remediation of lead-contaminated sludge for land application, indicating the potential for waste materials to be utilized in the circular economy. The Material Circularity Indicator of 0.835 indicated a highly circular system.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139141739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physicochemical analysis of the used cooking oil revealed an acid value of 29 mgNaOH/g, free fatty acid (FFA) value of 14.5, and density of 0.91 g/cm3. The high FFA content suggests the use of a heterogeneous catalyst. Optimization parameters included alcohol-to-oil ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, and time, employing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Central Composite Design (CCD). Optimal conditions for biodiesel production were determined at a reaction temperature of 60°C, a reaction time of 60 minutes, 0.3g KOH catalyst concentration, and a 3:20 methanol-to-oil ratio, predicting a 100% yield.

By leveraging the properties of the system, such as humidity, temperature, soil moisture, time collection based on solar panel activity, and peculiarities like using a mobile app and automated control, the project aims to provide an efficient and sustainable solution for irrigation.The system utilizes humidity sensors strategically placed in the soil to monitor moisture levels, enabling precise irrigation control. To enhance user experience and accessibility, a user-friendly mobile app is developed. This app allows farmers to remotely monitor and control the irrigation process, providing real-time data, irrigation scheduling options, and the ability to adjust system settings. Through IoT integration, the system enables automated control of the pump based on predefined parameters. By analyzing sensor data, including humidity levels and solar panel activity, the system autonomously adjusts irrigation operations, reducing manual intervention and improving overall efficiency. From the acquired results, at a temperature of 37.2 0C, the humidity level is low at 49.6%, thereby activating the irrigation pump which resulted to decrease in temperature at 26.70C after a period of 1hr 48mins with the humidity, and soil moisture levels at 73.9%, and 88% respectively.

Results from the geologic, hydrogeologic mapping and hydrogeophysical survey were integrated with the groundwater occurrence controlling factors derived from field work and remote sensing to delineate the groundwater potential zones. A total of 23 locations were studied and sampled which was used to generate the geologic map of the area, aquifer parameters and the geo-electric layers. These data were compared to the remotely sensed data to produce the hydrogeological map of the area. Using the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), the groundwater potential of the area was categorized into four units; poor, fair, good and excellent. 37% of the area under study shows very poor to poor groundwater potential, 40% indicates fair potential and 23% displayed good to excellent potentials. From the vertical electrical sounding curve analysis, weathered (unconﬁned) and weathered/fractured (unconﬁned) aquifer types were identiﬁed in the area. Hence, the developed groundwater potential map in this study can be harnessed for optimal groundwater resource management of the Southwestern part of Makurdi.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":" 79","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139144714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
