Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is developed and used for detection of butter adulteration with lard. Butter has the similar characteristics to lard makes lard a desirable adulterant in butter. DSC provides unique thermal profiling for lard and butter. In the heating thermogram of the mixture, there was one major endothermic peak (peak A) w

Adulteration of butter with cheaper animal fats, such as lard, has become an issue in recent years. A simple and rapid analytical method of attenuated total reflectance in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was developed in order to determine the lard content in butter. The multivariate calibration of partial least square model for the predict

The authentication of food products from the presence of non-allowed components for certain religion like lard is very important. In this study, we used proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy for the analysis of butter adulterated with lard by simultaneously quantification of all proton bearing compounds, and consequently all relev

This paper studies the effects of neutron radiation on the electrical behaviour and leakage current mec hanism of quantum dot-in-a-well (DWELL) semiconductor diodes with fluence ranging from 3 to neutron/cm . After neutron irradiation, the forward bias and reverse bias le akage currents showed significant rise approximately of up to two orders of m

This paper introduces a Web-based Counselling System, a non-profit online counselling web portal that was built to provide a platform for counselors to reach out to the general public. We examine the background that induced the conceptualization of the portal, the system’s architecture and design as well as the implementation of the working syste

Background & Hypothesis: The parasitic protozoa from the order Trypanosomatida relies exclusively on glycolysis for its survival in the mammalian hosts. As a corollary, the enzymes in this pathway have been recognised as chemotherapeutic targets. Phosphoglycerate mutase (iPGAM), which is the seventh enzyme in the pathway, is of particular inter

دخل الإسلام واللغة العربية ولايات نيجيريا فاجتذب قلوب الأهالي بثقافتها وعلومها, ومن أولى ولايات اعتناقا به ولايات هوسا في الشمال ثم ولايات يوربا في الجنوب الغربي. ونتيجة للإقبال الشديد الذي ن

Arabic poetry, for its well-established history in Nigeria, has always been of paramount importance to the Nigeria Arabic poets because of its cultural and religious purposes. As a result of its high demand among the preceding, and the eventful activities of the succeeding scholars, its beauty has remained a sparkling lustre, and continued to cope

يهدف هذا البحث إلى أهمية الأدب الشعبي النيجيري في تعليم الأخلاق الحميدة وغرز القيم والخصال المثالية في نفوس الناس، وإبراز أثر هذا التعليم في المجتمع اليورباوي في جنوب غربي نيجيريا منذ عديد من

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) offers an alternative treatment modalities for damaged organs/tissues. Tapping cell-based therapy and autologous transplant approaches, this restorative technique aims at reconstructing human tissues/organs for transplantation. But, before it can be used clinically, tissue engineered construct (TE
