Food processing wastes such as shells of nuts and eggs in Nigeria are usually disposed in dumpsites or are incinerated, causing environmental pollution. This study extracted, estimated and compared enzyme activities from Aspergillus niger under solid-state fermentation (SSF) by utilizing Ground nut shell (GS), Bambara nut shell(BS), Guinea fowl egg shell(GFS) and Layer egg shells (LES) powder as solid substrates. The Agro wastes were dried under the sunlight for four days, ground using a laboratory pestle and mortar separately and sieved to obtain fine powder. The powder was sterilized, supplemented with sodium acetate buffer and pure casein, inoculated with the fungi then left to ferment for six days. The crude extract of the substrates were obtained by filtration and centrifugation. The extracts were assayed for enzyme activity using Sigma Aldrich’s method of assay. The result obtained from the assay demonstrated that proteases were active in all the extracts. However, there was significantdifference (P < 0.05) in protease activities in the samples studied. The result revealed that BS and LES showed the highest enzymatic activities (0.797± 0.035 μ/ml), (0.788 ± 0.028 μ/ml), (0.574 ± 0.032 μ/ml), (0.590± 0.040 μ/ml) at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8ml of the crude enzyme extract volume concentrations respectively followed by GS which had the enzymatic activities (0 .456 ±0.001 μ/ml), (0.391 ± 0.003 μ/ml), (0.335 ± 0.003 μ/ml), (0.205± 0.032 μ/ml) at the volume extract volume concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8ml respectively, meanwhile guinea fowl egg shell had the least enzymatic activities (0.401± 0.028 μ/ml), (0 .336 ± 0.047 μ/ml), (0.250 ± 0.018 μ/ml), (0.255 ± 0.010 μ/ml) at the volume of crude enzyme extract of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8ml respectively. In all the shells the highest proteases activities were recorded at 0.2ml of the crude extract volume concentration and the least proteases activities were recorded at 0.8ml of then crude extract volume concentration. This study has proven that proteases were extracted and active from solid state fermentation of Aspergillus niger grown on various agro waste, Therefore proper utilization of these agro-wastes in industrial and scientific settings will not only serve as means of polluted environmental remediation but also as an iualternative to commercially available substrates for microbial growth.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"10 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":"131068965","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 growing number of hateful comments on the Internet and the rate at which tweets and posts are published per second on social media make it a challenging task to manually identify and remove the hateful commentsfrom such posts. Although numerous publications have proposed machine learning approaches to detect hate speech and other antisocial online behaviours without concentrating on blocking the hate speech from being published on social media. Similarly, prior publications on deep learning and multi-platform approaches did not work on the topic of detecting hate speech in Englishlanguage comments on Twitter and Facebook. This paper proposed a deep learning approach based on a hybrid of convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) with pre-trained GloVe words embedding to automatically detect and block hate speech on multiple social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook. Thus, datasets were collected from Twitter and Facebook which were annotated as hateful and non-hateful. A set of features were extracted from the datasets based on word embedding mechanism, and the word embeddings were fed into our deep learning framework. The experiment was carried out as a three independent tasks approach. The results show that our hybrid CNN-LSTM approach in Task 1 achieved an f1-score of 0.91, Task 2 obtained an f1-score of 0.92, and Task 3 achieved an f1-score of 0.87. Thus, there is outstanding performance in classifying text as Hate speech or non-hate speech in all the considered metrics. Based on the findings, we conclude that hatespeech can be detected and blocked on social media before it can reach the public.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"30 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":"127639818","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}

For large model space in regression analysis, the challenge has always been how to select a single model among competing large model space when making inferences. Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) is a technique designed to help account for the uncertainty inherent in the model selection process. Informative prior distributions related to a natural conjugate prior specification are investigated under a limited choice of a single scalar hyper parameter called g-prior which corresponds to the degree of prior uncertainty on regression coefficients. This study focuses on situations with extremely large model space made up of large set of regressors generated by a small number of observations, when estimating model parameters. A set of g-prior structures in literature are considered with a view to identify an improved g-prior specification for regression coefficients in Bayesian Model Averaging. The study demonstrates the sensitivity of posterior results to the choice of g-prior on simulated dataand real-life data. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) are used to generate a process which moves through large model space to adequately identify the high posterior probability models using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Model Composition (MC3), a method applicable under Bayesian Model Sampling (BMS). To assess the sensitivity and predictive ability of the g-priors,predictive criteria like Log Predictive Score (LPS) and Log Marginal Likelihood (LML) are employed. The results reveal a g-prior structure that exhibited equally competitive and consistent predictive ability among considered g-prior structures in literature.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"20 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":"121952152","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}

Urbanization, industrialization and changes in our life styles have compounded the problem of solid waste management in Nigeria. Poor waste management threatens the health of humans and animals, particularly those livingclose to these pollution point sources.The study area covers Jos-Bukuru and environs in North Central Nigeria. This study was aimed at investigating the chemical species present in groundwater as a result of the impact of solid waste dumpsites in the study area and to evaluate the contributions of the dumpsites to the chemical and physicochemical properties of groundwater around the dumps. Five (5) major dumpsites (Bauchi Road Jos, Rukuba Road Jos, Building Materials Market, Rayfield and Bukuru Town) were sampled for this study. Ten water samples from hand dug wells (two from each site) close to the dumpsites and three controls were collected and analysed for chemical composition and further speciation analysis was conducted on the chemical result to assess the various species present in the waters and possible human health related issues. Results show that the mean values of the pH, temperature, EC, TDS, of the water samples all fall within the WHO permissible limits for portable drinking water. Content of trace elements are generally low in the waters but toxic metal species such as Ba+2, Mn+2, Ni+2, Zn+2, Cd+2, and Pb+2 are common to all the water sources. This study shows that different dumpsites have impacted differently on waters in their different environments. There is the need to curtail the excesses of dumping waste in these areas so as not to add to the exiting contents of toxic metal species in the waters.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"1 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":"130928740","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 study was conducted to observe the regeneration potential and also to establish a suitable in vitro plantlet regeneration protocol from mature seed explant of four rice varieties viz local rice Variety (Maizabuwa and Mai kwalli) and improved rice variety (Nerica and Faro 44). Maizabuwa was the only variety that successfully regenerated by proliferating shoot and root from the rice seed explant while Faro 44, had root development in the MS media under in-vitro condition. After transplanting, only Maizabuwa successfully germinated from the soil and plantlet growth was observed. No variations was observed in growth responses (plant height (cm), number of tillers, number of leaves and leaf area (cm2)) between in-vitro and soil regenerated (potted in soil) Maizabuwa and Faro 44 rice varieties, whereas variation in growth responses measured between the four varieties of rice directly potted in soil media was observed. Soil potted plants showed some significant differences in growth where Maizabuwa and Nerica varieties indicated to contribute to such variation. The study indicate that seeds of Maizabuwa local rice variety can be suggested to farmers if interested in large scale farming as the variety has shown observable tolerance to in-vitro regeneration and as well potted soil media conditions.","PeriodicalId":292938,"journal":{"name":"BIMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (2536-6041)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114881252","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}
