Abstracts: Waste management has been a topic of concern among researchers and this has led to the research into various methods of managing them. Pyrolysis otherwise known as thermal decomposition of waste polymeric materials is a renowned technology that is gaining popularity among researchers. This process helps to reduce the environmental menace caused by the conventional methods of waste disposal which include incineration and land filling. Waste low density polyethylene in the form of water sachets was collected from households over time, dried and shredded in preparation for pyrolysis. A measured weight of the waste Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) was fed into the reactor for the pyrolysis to take place at temperatures above 350oC. The products of the pyrolysed waste LDPE which include the condensable gases and the non condensable gases were collected in their different collectors. The residue otherwise known as char was also collected. The liquid product also known as pyrolysis oil was analysed using analytical instruments such as GC-MS and FTIR. The analysis shows that the hydrocarbon components present in the oil are C9 to C25 which are in forms of aliphatics, aromatics, esters and alkanoic acids.

Abstracts: Multilevel inverters (MLI) are plays an important role in industrial power applications. Generally conventional MLIs are categorized into diode clamped, flying capacitor clamped and cascaded H bridge type. They are having a more number of switches with less number of levels or more. Due to this it can provides a more switching losses and less accuracy. And also it can require more drivers for turn ON the switches, also difficulties in pulse width modulation. The proposed MLI is a new configuration in Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter (FCMI). The introduced MLI gives that it consists of less number of switches and gate drivers. And also it has features of voltage balancing property, purge the more dc source, double the output voltage levels, get better the output frequency range. The PWM control by using phase shift PWM.

Abstracts: Staff motivation is crucial to the survival of any organization. The media landscape is always in dire need of well-motivated media personnel for it to continuously carry out its information, education and entertainment functions. Media managers must make it a point of duty to seeing that their staff are well-motivated. This paper explores motivational incentives to media personnel. Findings from the scholarly review of literatures indicate that money/finance is a crucial motivating factor for media workers. However, other motivating factors for media practitioners are good working condition, social rewards; informal recognization, verbal recognization, use of company’s etc. Furthermore, the study also found that people differ widely in the reward they desire and the value they attach to it. Hence, media managers should critically study their employees in order to determine the kind of reward each personnel desires. The paper concludes that media practitioners should be well-motivated as a matter of urgency in order to engender high productivity.

Abstracts: Based on the fact that insects are highly nutritional exciting materials with no doubt as future prospects of being included in consumer’s common diet in various countries in the world, they are vital resource proven with varied nutritional aspects and rich in dietary symbolism for daily nutritional healthiness. Due to high cost and shortage in food availability, it was considered to design a local production method for the available in our local community to provide for unmarketable production and the catalyst for commercial production to complement the available in the market. Edible insects including adults and larvae were partitioned into category A and B respectively while accessory raw materials indicated. Preparation techniques and formulations for selected edible insects involve selection of desirable species with reference to consumer preference, proper milling, thorough mixing, oven drying or steaming at considerable length and storing in dry cool non-freezing sections of the refrigerator for storage longevity before use. Edible insects contribute a small whole processed fractions to the nutrient requirements sold in nook and crannies in local Nigerians market. Therefore, it is recommended to eat only insects that are reported in studies to redress neophobia and avoid risk linked with consumption. More studies on mass production techniques is needed to conquer the hurdle of harvesting from the wild and aiding the local production of insect-based food of different forms at affordable cost for sale to local Nigerians and subsistent consumption. Finally, more research is required to find out more edible species, explore the impact of insect based food on length-weight gain of consumers and how sustainability for high quality protein and calories requisite can be realized for indigenes.

Abstracts: Tunga penetrans, the jigger flea is causal agent of the skin inflammatory disease so-called tungiasis which is considered common with unhygienic, poor and indigent residents of communities in the world. This study illustrates the various floor type characteristics and designated key environmental factors that buoy up infestations in endemic foci. Sand fleas were sampled using a clean white cloth laid on floors of house and verandas and environmental variables determined using EOSUN electronic device for temperature cum relative humidity measures. Result divulge that majority of the fleas were obtained from inside house of Zion (36 fleas) and verandas of Kofawe (29 fleas). Inside the house of the various locations, unpaved floor types accounted for 52.8% and 70% of the sampled fleas in Zion and Kofawe respectively and 50% of the sampled in both paved and paved floors with cracks in Laranda while in verandas, 36.7% and 62.1% of the sampled fleas were from unpaved floor types in Zion and Kofawe and 54.2% of the fleas recorded in paved floors with cracks in Laranda. Temperature ranges of 28.00C-35.60C and relative humidity ranges of 50.0%-88% were reported for this study. Since the various floor-type characteristics and selected environmental conditions are optimum for flea population growth, targeting the temperature and relative humidity tolerance level through manipulation for species and paving the unpaved and amending the paved with cracks floor types is recommended to discourage infestations.

Abstracts: Nano pore Mordenite membranes were prepared on the outer surface of ceramic tubular tubes via hydrothermal synthesis and evaluated for dehydration pervaporation of water unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine UDMH mixtures. Highly water-selective mordenite membranes were prepared and the optimum reaction condition was found to be 24 h crystallization time and 170oC crystallization temperature. Effect of gel composition on separation factor and water flux of the water-UDMH mixtures was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that mordenite is the only zeolite material which presents in the membrane. Morphology of the supports subjected to crystallization was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In PV of the water-UDMH mixtures, the membrane exhibits a hydrophilic behavior, with a high selectivity towards water and a good flux. The best membranes had a water flux of 2.67 kg/m2.h at 27oC. The best PV selectivity was obtained to be 264. A comprehensive, unsteady state model was also developed for pervaporation of water-UDMH mixture by COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2 software, based on solving continuity and momentum equations simultaneously. COMSOL solves Navier-Stokes equations by finite element method (FEM). The 2D model was capable of predicting concentration in feed and membrane sections and velocity distribution in feed compartment.

Abstracts: Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotic. Today, almost all important bacterial infections are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Unavailability of good quality drinking water is widespread and this has serious health implications. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in some sachet and bottled water brands in Ondo city, Nigeria. Twenty brands of sachet and twelve brands of bottled waters sold in Ondo city, Nigeria were investigated using 3-3-3 regimen of MPN index method. The total coliform count (TCC), faecal coliform count (FCC) and heterotrophic plate count (HPC) in water samples were determined in accordance with standard procedures. The Kirby-Bauer method was used to determine the antimicrobial resistance profiles of the bacterial isolates.Fifty-five percent of sachet water brands belonged to class I (excellent), 25% belonged to class II (satisfactory), 25% belonged to class III (suspicious) while 5% belonged to class IV (unsatisfactory). However, 100% bottled water brands were of class I (excellent). HPC in sachet water brands ranged from 0 - 3.5 x 103 cfu/ml while FCC ranged from 0 - 2.7 x 102 cfu/ml. HPC in bottled water ranged from 0 - 3.5 x 103 cfu/ml while no faecal coliform was present. The bacteria in this study were P. aeruginosa (23.81%), S. aureus (19.05%), Serratia sp (14.29%), Micrococcus sp (14.29%), C. freundii (9.52%), E. aerogenes (9.52%) and K. pneumoniae (9.52%).The overall percentage antibiotic resistance and susceptibility of the bacteria were 43% and 49%, respectively, while 8% of bacteria were intermediately susceptible.This study revealed acceptable bacteriological quality of bottled water brands but questions some sachet water brands from bacteriological standpoints as they fell below WHO drinking water standards. This study also indicted sub-standard packaged waters as a vehicle of spread of antibiotic-resistant potential pathogens, and this poses a high risk to public health.

Abstracts: This report presents the prediction of concrete mix ratio using Artificial Neural Network mode (ANN)l. An artificial neural network model was developed, trained and tested with 259 concrete mix data sets. These data sets were gotten from concrete companies, sorted and used, for which 70%, 15% and 15% were used for training, validation and testing phases respectively. A 3-layered feed-forward neural network model with a back-propagation algorithm was adopted. Input layer comprises of 4 nodes representing the Fineness Modulus, Coarse Aggregate ratio, Water cement ratio, and Maximum aggregate size and five output parameters which are compressive strength, water content, fine aggregate content, coarse aggregate content and cement contents all in (grams) which are the expected output. The ANN model result was compared with other approach of concrete mix design and was considered adequate. The absolute error between the output from conversional mix design and the Artificial Neural Network predicted data was 0.00083. The results indicate the utility, reliability and usefulness of the artificial neural network for accurately predicting concrete mix ratio.

Abstracts: Deforestation is the process where wood is cutting through different techniques and methods from the surface of the earth for the purpose of livelihood while such type activities disturb the ecosystem of the world and make the environment unfavorable. Seeing to its importance the present study was carried out in Pakistan since September 2017. The major objective was that to critically review the past literature about deforestation and reach to conclusion what is the positive and negative effects of this phenomena in Pakistan. Purposively total 17 studies were selected and reviewed 20 times in depth and analyzed the situation. The review shows that deforestation disturb the ecosystem in Pakistan and make environment unfavorable and raised different type diseases in the community and affect the climate in different angle. Through deforestation problem of soil erosion occur which speed up the flood in the area and destroy crops and building and increase poverty in the long run while latter on taking changes in cropping pattern. However deforestation speed up the melting point of glacier in the mountain and disturb the natural habitat not only in Pakistan but also in the whole world and also affect biodiversity in the country The review further explain that the major reason of deforestation is poverty because rural people cut the wood for their survival of life while miss management of forest department is also considered the main reason of deforestation. They cut the wood for their own purpose and miss utilized the means of the government. On the basis of finding following recommendation were suggested for further improvement of the forest. Reforestation program should be arranged every year in the country for multiplication of trees; Honest and mature staff should be selected in forest department; Awareness program about ill effect of deforestation should be launched in the rural community of Pakistan; Forest institution should be multiplied in Pakistan for the purpose of research for uplifting forest in the country; Forest check post should be multiplied for the purpose of forest protection in the county. Powerful policy should be developed by government for forest protection in the country.

Abstracts: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of mastitis in lactating Dairy Cow at District Dairy Farms in Sylhet and UVH, at Jaintapur during the period of January 2016 to December 2016. Mastitis was most frequently seen in cross breed cows. In Jaintapur Upazilla, most of cows were indigenous, but there were many farmers rear cross breed cow for the purpose of selling milk in market. In Dairy Farm, all cows were cross breed. The overall prevalence was higher in crossbred cows than indigenous cows. The prevalence of mastitis was higher in advancing age and in lactation period. The cows were more prone to mastitis during 1st month of lactation. There was significant relationship between prevalence of mastitis and associated risk factors like general physical condition, herd size, frequency of dung removal, floor drainage quality and condition of floor. Reproductive diseases and periparturiant diseases showed higher incidence of mastitis in cows.The overall prevalence of mastitis at Jaintapur was 7.15%. The prevalence of mastitis of dairy cows in Jaintapur Upazilla was more in rainy season and less in winter season. The prevalence of mastitis was 3.47% in summer season, 11.52% in rainy season and 5% in winter season. The overall prevalence of mastitis at Dairy farm was 6.91%. The prevalence of mastitis in dairy farm was more in rainy season and less in summer season. The prevalence of mastitis was 4.97% in summer season; 16.53% in rainy season and 5.29% in winter season.

Abstracts: Ficus vogelii is one of the locally used vegetables to cook soup. The herb has also been used as an herbal remedy for some aliments such as malaria, seizure, etc. This research aimed at finding out the effects of lead toxicity on the histology and physiology of the reproductive organs (vagina and cervix) using adult female Wistar rats and also to ascertained the role of Ficus vogelii can play in environmental lead toxicity. This research lasted for a period of 35days involving 35 adult female Wistar rats weighting an average of 250g. The rats were randomly assigned into seven (7) groups and the groups numbered as follow 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Group 1 severed as negative control which received tap water ad libitum, group 2 is positive control that received lead acetate solution, groups 3and 5 received ethanolic extract of Fv (low dose, 100g/kg) and lead acetate solution, groups 4and 6 received aqueous extract of Fv (high dose, 300g/kg) and lead acetate solution each while group 7 received ethanolic extract of Fv only. Microscopical examination of the organs showed various alterations which include necrosis, oedema and denudation suspected to be as a result of lead toxicity. The lead effects on the organs were either protected or cured with the administration of ethanolic extract of Ficus vogelii from these changes caused by induced lead acetate. The organs especially group 2 presented a significant reduction in blood supply which would have been the cause of mucosa necrosis. These distortions to the walls of reproductive organs (vagina and cervix) can lead to female infertility. The groups that received higher doses (4 and 6) appeared to be more vascularized suspected to be as a result of blood supply restored by the extract. The extract also helped in restoring the integrity of the walls of the lower reproductive organs. The results of this study suggest that F. vogelii leave extract can serve as an herbal remedy that can be very effective in treating reproductive toxicity especially that of lead. In conclusion, lead is very poisonous to all parts of the animal body and Ficus vogelii can go a long way to either protect or cure the organs against its deleterious effects and Ficus vogelii acts better in its high dose.
