The aim of this research is to determine the quality and proximate composition of Amaranthus hybridus, Celosia argentea, and Talinum triangulare obtained from open markets in Benin City, Nigeria. Microbiological and proximate analysis were carried out using standard methods. Results of the proximate analysis revealed the presence of proteins (12.86 ± 0.19 %; 9.28 ± 0.07 % and 2.82 ± 0.08 %), ca...

Ficus exasperata is an important medicinal plant with a wide geographical distribution in Africa particularly in Nigeria. In this study, aqueous stem bark extracts of Ficus exasperata were administered to investigate its hepatoprotective effects on Paracetamol induced liver toxicity in Wistar rats. A total of Twenty Five Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups labeled A-E and kept in...

Nitrosamine is derived from nitrate and it seems as one of the factors and causes of gastrointestinal cancer in adults and Methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome). Eighty percent of nitrate enters to the body through vegetables and fruits, so in this study nitrate concentration in available vegetables and fruits at Shiraz was determined and compared with standard limit. At first, Shiraz city was...

Reflection considered as one components ...

nvironmental effects play an essential role in many DoD advanced computer simulations. Without adequately representing the environment and its effects on sensors, weapons, platforms, and people, simulation outcomes are suspect and ensuing conclusions unreliable. Accurate physics-based models of environmental effects, however, are often computationally intensive and require more computer speed a...

s or groundwater contain chemicals of concern, there is the ors to migrate from the subsurface to nearby basements, sed spaces. The Johnson and Ettinger (1991) model and its ication 4674) are at this time the most widely used algorithms of chemical vapors to enclosed spaces. To facilitate use of this nvironmental Protection Agency (USEPA) distributes heets and a comprehensive guidance document ...

E nvironmental policy once focused only on producers: the relatively few business enterprises that needed to clean up their smokestacks and sewage outfalls. While important, emphasis on producers hasn’t been enough to stem the tide of environmental degradation, because many of the worst insults come from consumption activities, not production. Consumption-related problems are large and growing,...

E nvironmental exposures in utero and during early life may permanently change the body’s structure, physiology and metabolism, and lead to diseases in adult life [1]. Infants are particularly vulnerable because of their rapid growth and cell differentiation, immaturity of metabolic pathways and development of vital organ systems. The central nervous system has unprotected barriers and a broad ...
