This study was carried out between May and October, 2010 to morphologically identify Anopheles species in parts of Kano State. A total of 2374 Anopheles were collected and identified. 1782 (75.07%) were collected from Nassarawa Local Government Area while 592 (24.93%) were collected from Tarauni Local Government Area. Using Anopheles characters of Gilles and Coetzee (1987) under zeiss light mic...

During the process of drug discovery, the pharmaceutical industry is faced with numerous challenges. One challenge is the successful prediction of the major routes of human clearance of new medications. For compounds cleared by metabolism, accurate predictions help provide an early risk assessment of their potential to exhibit significant interpatient differences in pharmacokinetics via routes ...

Planning and dimensioning process of a multi-service network WCDMA should consider the whole parameters characterising the radio cell. Among these, we are interested in the required total BTS power and maximum capacity supported by the cell in the downlink direction. This direction requires more radio resources, thus it is more delicate to optimize. In this context, we express these two paramet...

The coccoid cyanobacterium Chroococcidiopsis dominates microbial communities in the most extreme arid hot and cold deserts. These communities withstand constraints that result from multiple cycles of drying and wetting and/or prolonged desiccation, through mechanisms which remain poorly understood. Here we describe the first system for genetic manipulation of Chroococcidiopsis. Plasmids pDUCA7 ...

We studied the effects of intraocular irrigating solutions on the 30Hz flicker electroretinogram (ERG) during extracapsular cataract surgery in 45 eyes of 35 patients. The effects of two commercially available irrigating solutions. S-MA2 (Opeguard MA) and DE-057 (BSS Plus) were compared. After irrigation and aspiration (I/A) of the residual cortex with S-MA2, ERG amplitude increased to 111.2 +/...

The influence of gas-phase oxygen on the growth of Au nanoparticles on Mo-doped CaO films has been investigated by means of low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Whereas at ideal vacuum conditions, only 2D Au islands develop on the oxide surface, the fraction of 3D deposits increases with increasing O2 pressure until they become the dominant specie...

Heterobimetallic NiZn complexes featuring metal centers in distinct coordination environments have been synthesized using diimine–dioxime ligands as binucleating scaffolds. A tetramethylfuran-containing ligand derivative enables a stable one-electron-reduced S 1⁄4 1/2 species to be accessed using Cp2Co as a chemical reductant. The resulting pseudo-square planar complex exhibits spectroscopic an...
