Disposal of storage tank sludge in oil depots is a major environmental concern due to the high concentration of hydrocarbons involved.This paper investigates the reduction of the sludge oil pollutants with initial oil and grease concentration of about 50 mass% using low cost adsorbents.Among the examined adsorbents, sawdust indicated the maximum re
Heavy metal contamination of food crops is an issue of global concern that ultimately results in toxicity and diseases in humans and animals through consumption of contaminated soils and food crops.With a Kettles population of 182 million people, Nigeria is regarded as the most populous country in Africa.The people suffer environmental pollution fr
Abstract Background The formation of the bicoid (bcd) mRNA gradient is a crucial step for Bcd protein gradient formation in Drosophila.In the past, a microtubule (MT)-based cortical network had been shown to be indispensable for bcd mRNA transport to the posterior.Results We report the identification of a MT-binding protein CLASP/Chb as the first c
The present study describes the “fit for purpose” testing and the independent product-specific GMP validation of the monocyte activation test (MAT) to detect pyrogenic and pro-inflammatory contaminants, MAT Method A, Quantitative Test (European Pharmacopoeia, Ph.Eur.chapter 2.6.30, 2017).A fit for purpose study was carried out to ensure that th
Since the beginning of river valley civilizations, humans have sought to harness the potential of flowing waters.The monumental structures of dams have been instrumental in damming these flowing waters and providing a wide range of benefits to society, including irrigation, drinking water, and generating clean energy.The present paper reviews in de
