This work was aimed at determining the activity concentration of these radionuclides in soils and vegetable (fluted pumpkin) and the internal exposure due to the consumption of these materials in the vegetable in parts of South South Nigeria particularly Etim Ekpo Local Government area. The activity concentrations of twenty (20) soil samples and 20 vegetable samples from the farmlands were determined using gamma spectrometry. The activity concentration for 40K ,232Th and 238U from the soil samples ranged from 6.69±0.35 (Bqkg-1) to 168.19 ±8.82 (Bqkg-1) ,0.23 ±0.01 (Bqkg-1) to 5.91 ±0.35 (Bqkg-1) and BDL to 21.53±2.5 (Bqkg-1) respectively.

Prompt detection of multidrug resistant (MDR) strains using antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and MBL detection are vital for therapeutic options. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, distribution and antibiotic susceptibility of MDR and MBL-producing GNB from clinical samples in health facilities in Akwa Ibom State. A total of 480 samples comprising wound, urine and blood were collected aseptically from eligible in- and out-patients for the study and GNB were recovered from the samples using standard bacteriological techniques. The identification of isolated GNB, AST and detection of MBL-producing GNB were done using VITEK®2 COMPACT (Biomerieux) automated system, Modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method and IMP+EDTA CDT phenotypic method, respectively. Gram-negative bacterial growth was detected in 135 (77.1%.) cases with Escherichia coli (20.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.8%) and Burkholderia cepacia (14.1%) being the most preponderant isolates. Urine yielded more GNB, 45.2% than other samples. The isolates were sensitive to gentamicin (63%), imipenem (54.8%), and ofloxacin (46.7%) but showed high resistance to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (78.5%), ceftriaxone (74.1%) and aztreonam (66.7%). The overall prevalence of MDR was 60% with the highest recorded in University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), 64.8%. The overall prevalence of MBL producers was 39.3% with H. alvei, M. morgannii, P. mirabilis, R. radiobacter and P. aeruginosa being the majority, mostly from urine samples (47.5%) and UUTH health facility (43.7%). All MBL-producing GNB were MDR strains. Seven strains were pan-drug resistant. A combination of robust antibiotic and MBL screening of drug resistant GNB is essential for effective therapeutic decisions. Also, rational use of antibiotics, review of antibiotic usage policies and increased surveillance of MBL-producing GNB is strongly advocated.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125433749","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 experiment was performed in a semi-batch mode at mesophilic temperature of 30 ± 0.2°C using 20 L prototype biodigesters over 45 days RT. The cumulative biogas yield from goat manure (31,703 ml/gVS) was > yield from poultry manure (30,275 ml/gVS). The process performance indicators after digestion revealed a minimal variation in pH (6.0 to 7.5) with notable reduction in total solids (55.0% in goat manure >50.6% in poultry manure) and volatile solid (56.1% in goat manure > 44.2% in poultry manure). Besides methanogens (Methanothrix, Methanobacterium and Methanosarcina species), Bacillus (100%) and Clostridium (87.5%) species were the most predominant bacterial genera.

This work examined a trade credit supply chain involving a manufacturer and two retailers in a decentralised supply chain in which the retailers engage in product promotion while the manufacturer financed them through credit provision. It considered a supply chain structure in which the manufacturer provides trade credit to the retailers and a situation in which he does not provide trade credit. It used Stackelberg game theory to determine the optimal promotion efforts, the credit periods and the players’ payoffs, and showed that while the manufacturer is better-off with the retailers’ efforts, the retailers need to consciously determine appropriate optimal effort to avoid getting short-changed. It also showed that while credit period reduces with the manufacturer’s margin, it increases with a retailer’s margin. It further showed that while the retailers’ payoffs reduce continuously with credit period, the manufacturer’s payoff is fixed in the long-run irrespective of the credit period provided by the manufacturer to the retailers. By comparison the players as well as the channel perform better with the adoption of trade credit, however a retailer must avoid placing he price margin at equality with that of the manufacturer if he hopes to enjoy long credit period.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"1725 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127452985","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}

Six aquaria containing ten fingerlings each were contaminated with 100ml of crude oil and different amount (5ml, 10ml, 15ml and 20ml) of hydrocarbon degraders (Bacillus subtilis) in broth culture were introduced into each of the aquarium. The set-up which was adequately aerated was monitored for 21 days for survivability of the fingerslings. The results revealed changes in swimming performance and feeding pattern of the fingerlings after crude oil contamination. Reduction in swimming was observed in those fingerlings with less hydrocarbon biodegraders. Similarly, the feeding habit of those fingerlings with less hydrocarbon degraders decreased significantly. The aquarium with no biodegrader recorded 3,2 and 3 deaths on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd week respectively while the aquarium with the highest biodegraders recorded 2, 2 and 0 death on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd week respectively. The rate of death of the fingerlings revealed that increase in hydrocarbon biodegraders in the aquarium increased the survival of the fingerlings in the aquarium. Specifically, it was observed that aquarium with the highest biodegrader (20ml) recorded the lowest mortality of 40% at the end of 21 days. No mortality was recorded in aquarium with no crude oil contamination. This study revealed that in the aquarium with highest hydrocarbon degraders, the effect of crude oil was quickly neutralised thus eliminating the mortality of the exposed fingerlings on the third week of the experiment.","PeriodicalId":353187,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116601943","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 aimed at evaluating the microbial composition, including yeast, bacteria, and mold, and the physicochemical properties of the wine during the fermentation process. The experiment was conducted using two batches of fruit, pineapple, and watermelon, separately fermented using Kloeckera apiculata. Samples were collected at different stages of fermentation and analyzed for microbial composition, pH, alcohol content, and total acidity. The yeasts, mold, and bacteria present were enumerated and isolated by spread plate techniques and incubated at room temperatures for 24h. Resultant colonies were enumerated and identified by a standard protocol. The results showed that Kloeckera apiculata dominated the microbial population during the fermentation process. No mold was isolated due to the low level of oxygen present in the fermentor. Three bacteria species were identified and confirmed during the fermentation to be Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, and Pediococcus species which are non-pathogenic bacteria and did not constitute any threat to health rather added a sour taste to the wine and also decreased the pH of the wine. The wine produced from pineapple had a higher alcohol content and lower acidity than the wine produced from watermelon.
