High turbidity is a pollutant that requires coagulants to be removed from the treated water and wastewater. This study was conducted to characterize and analyze the potential of bio-coagulant producing fungus isolated from the moist area in the kitchen. One variable at a time analysis (OVAT) was carried out to assess the capacity of produced myco-c

Several river water fungal strains (RWF-1 to RWF-6) were isolated to investigate the potential of having coagulant properties from the metabolites produced by the fungus. The myco-coagulant produced from the liquid-state process was characterized and tested for flocculation of kaolin water. Molecular identification of the fungal strain isolated fro

Activated carbons (ACs) were produced from baobab fruit shell (BFS) by varying the operating parameters of activation temperatures, activation times, and impregnation ratios using response surface methodology (RSM). Adsorption tests on an aqueous solution of phenol were used to determine the optimum conditions for BF-ACs produced and central compos

Teaching and learning process all over the world has been affected by the Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). In the case of Arabic language subject which is foreign language in Malaysia, this pandemic has brought the new paradigm in the process of teaching Arabic language. Therefore, in the light of that matter, this study has been done to find

Abuja has experienced phenomenal infrastructural growth in the last two decades and concrete is at the heart of it. The cost of concrete has increased over the years due to the increased costs of its constituents like aggregates and cement. Many housing projects have slowed down due to the skyrocketing costs. A scientific approach in reducing concr

The global pandemic Covid-19 is affecting individuals’ health, physically and financially. During the outbreak, a state of lockdown significantly impacted adolescents’ social interaction. Being alone is a common phenomenon. How- ever, avoiding social interaction due to low self-esteem or insecurities even- tually will lead to psychological prob

Extreme temperature events bring significant effects on the environment and society. Consequently, investigating the best fit for extreme temperature data is important for hydrological study and event forecasting. The main aim of this study is to determine the best fit probability distribution for monthly and annual extreme temperatures. The maximu

Baobab fruit shell (BFS) biomass was used as an alternative precursor for producing high surface area and microporous baobab fruit shell activated carbon (BFS-AC) by chemical activation using KOH. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was performed for the characterization of baobab fruit shell activated carbon. The adsorption property of BFS-AC for t

Recently, starch-based bioplastics have been proposed to curb the problem caused by conventional plastics. Yet, current bioplastics are made from food sources which cause competition with food industries. Hence, we have produced bioplastics using rotten starch-based material to tackle this problem. In this study, a comprehensive investigation has b

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Chronic viral hepatitis B infection was the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in Asian countries, however with the rising prevalence of obesity and implementation of prevention strategies for viral hepatitis B transmission, we predict that there is a change in the epidemiology of liver cirrhosis. Our aim is to determine the c
