This study was conducted to examine heavy metals impact on the morphology of Eichhornia crassipes. Morphological parameters of the plant were studied. Water samples were collected from Panteka stream where mechanic and farming activities are carried out. The stream was divided into threepoints (A, B and C) and pond water, where farming is predominant served as the control site (D). Heavy metals were analyzed during dry and wet seasons for the presence of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The result obtained revealed that the highest mean plant height (80.86cm), root length (41.40cm), leaf length (17.68cm), leafnumber (21.20), leaf width (14.64cm) and flower number (3) were observed at sampling points A, D, C, B and A respectively. Among the heavy metals analyzed Cd had the highest concentration (0.78mg/kg). Cadmium and Lead were above, while the others were below the standards of FEPA and USEPA. The roots and leaves of E. crassipes showed clear signs of abscission and elongated roots at the control sites. The Pearson correlation coefficient between heavy metals at sampling points during the two seasons revealed a significant difference.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115554325","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}

(Pepper seeds Yolo wonder 254 F1). The seeds were subjected to three different doses of X-ray irradiation (3MGy, 6MGy and 9MGy) to observe variation in the nutritional content of the F2 fruit across the treatments and control. The study aimed at using x-ray irradiation to stimulatevariation resulting in improved nutritional content of C. annuum. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications was laid in a field experiment at research farm of Agronomy Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Federal University of Kashere, Gombe State, during the 2021 raining season. Spectrophotometric method was employed using U-V visible Spectrophotometer, as well as Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) was used to determined mineral content. Proximate compositions were also analyzed using standard method. Data obtained were subjected to Analysis of Variance and DMRT at p <0.05 level of significance. Variation in the concentration of vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, C and ß-Carotene were observed. Vitamin C at the control has 142643 ± 1.00d as the highest concentration, while vitamin B12 has 0.002 ± 1.00a as the lowest concentration across all the treatments. Minerals examined were Mg, Ca, K, Fe and PO42- with K having 181.00 ± 5.66c concentration at zero treatment as the highest and Phosphate recorded 0.04 ± 0.04a at 3MGy as the lowest. Phytochemical has Oxalate with0.89 ± 0.31b recorded at zero exposure and Phytate 0.01 ± 0.00a at 3MGy recorded as highest and lowest concentration respectively. In proximate compositions, Carbohydrates was obtained with 60.67 ± 1.39c at 9.0MGy exposure as the highest concentration, whereas ether extract has 0.72 ± 0.00a at 3MGy has the lowest concentration among all other compositions. The findings revealed that relative increase in the nutritional content of pepper across the treatments were 0MGy exposure to X-ray irradiation produce higher concentration suggesting a possible recovery of useful variant from lower exposure.

Four diets(40% crude protein ) including the control (Diet A), Diet B, Diet C and Diet D with an inclusion level of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% respectively based on fish meal were formulated and tested on Clarias gariepinus. These diets were tested on duplicates of 10 fishes of initial weight of 2.4g±0.07 per bowl. The result obtained showed that there is no significant difference (p>0.05) in final weight gain of fishes fed the control diet (Diet A) and 30% replacement (Diet D). But there was significant difference in control diet and diet B and C. The highest mean weight gain 6.07±0.28g was recorded in fishes fed the control diet while the lowest 2.28±0.21g was recorded in 10% inclusion level. The highest final mean length 10.00±0.12 cm was obtained from fishes fed the control diet while the lowest 8.09±0.20cm was obtained from fishes fed 10% inclusion level. The carcass compositionwas recorded with the highest protein value of 48.31% recorded in Diet D and the lowest 32.28% in Diet A. This study showed that Moringa oleifera leaves can replace 30% of the fish meal component for African catfish without any adverse effects on growth. However, more study should be done in finding methods for inactivating the antinutritional factors for inclusion of Moringa leaves in the diet of African catfish at higher levels.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117223447","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}

They are responsible for the transmission of many viral diseases to humans and domestic animals. Therefore, ticks infection and infestation results in great economic losses to resource-poor farming communities, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, including Nigeria, where approximately 80% of the world’s cattle population is raised. The current study is aimed to study the distribution, composition and abundance of ticks in Maiduguri, Borno State. Adult ticks were collected from 350 freshly butchered small ruminants (sheep and goats) from three locations within Maiduguri metropolis namely:Kasuwa shanu, Bulumkutu, and Maiduguri Central Abattoir. These were identified using taxonomy identification keys in to three species, Rhipicephalus, Amblyomma and Hyalomma, using stereomicroscope for each of the locations. They were crushed using bullet blender after the addition of glass beads and centrifuged. The supernatant from the crushed samples was used for viral detection by inoculating it on to two cell lines, Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK) and African Monkey Kidney (Vero E6), and were observed for cytopathic effects daily for a period of ten (10) days. The results showed a high level of ticks’ infestation amongst small ruminants in the study locations. Kasuwan Shanu has the highest distribution of ticks amongst sheep, followed by Maiduguri Central Abattoir while Bulumkutu has the least. More also, Kasuwan Shanu has the highest distribution of ticks amongst goats, followed by Bulumkutu while Maiduguri Central Abbatoir has the least. The three species of ticks investigated were found to comprise of either male or female or both in the different locations, and either of the two sexes is involved in the infestation. The results also showed the presence of virus in some of the tick samples isolated from the small ruminants andinoculated on to the cell lines due to the observed cytopathic effects. It is concluded that there is high level of ticks’ infestation among small ruminants in Maiduguri metropolis and a threat of viral disease transmission to humans and other animals.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131752789","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}

The data was collected through the administration of 363 structured questionnaire to selected household heads residing in the neighbourhoods around the airport. It utilized mean ranking, the simple regression analysis toanalyze the data collected. The result of the simple regression analysis revealed that aircraft noise negatively influences residential property value around the airport and that aircraft noise does not really depreciate residential property rental value, the noise level for the day-eveningnight time depends on frequency of flights as well as distance from the airport and the time of the day and also showed that rental values of residential properties in the study area fall within the range of 50,000 Naira and below for one room apartment. The study also found that tenants are willing to stay in the neighbourhood due to the presence of Air Force Base (security personnel) in the area. The study therefore recommends among other things, that investors and propertydevelopers embarking on property development should take into account the effects of noise on rental value of residential property to avoid wasting of funds in such ventures, also upgrading of the sound insulation of buildings will be a useful technique for reducing the negative impacts of aircraft noise to enhance the quality of urban life of residents.
