A Phylogenomic Perspective on the New Era of Ichthyology With more than 24,000 extant species, the Actinopterygii is the most diverse group of vertebrates. This astonishing diversity represents not only an underexploited resource for research focused on these fishes but also a source of valuable information for comparative biology and medical science. Although the technical […]

Direct Conversion of Dry Algae to Biodiesel under Supercritical Methanolysis: An Advanced Research

Groundwater and soil samples were collected in Kaltungo LGA, Gombe State, in April 2012 to determine the quality of the groundwater (dry season). The purpose of this research was to look at various physicochemical parameters of drinking water samples collected from hand-dug wells and boreholes that had not been treated before use. The purpose was […]

The solubility of a substance is determined by the solute-solvent interaction, pH, temperature, and ionic dissociation, among other factors, where the solute is partitioned between two immiscible liquid solvents. The solubility of benzoic acid (solute) as well as its partitioning between hydrophilic water and hydrophobic benzene, which are utilised as solvents at room temperature (25°C), […]

Determination of Lactic Acid Content during Embryonic Development of the Silkworm under Imposed Photoperiodic Regimes

When comparing the untreated control to the fluctuations in the lactic acid concentration of developing eggs during the day to day developmental phase, significant adjustments and favourable responses to light induction were identified. Lactic acid deposition during embryonic development in anaerobic environments is an adaptive approach for coping with the unfavourable environmental conditions. The current […]

Design, Synthesis, and Anti-Tubercular Studies of 10-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol (10H) One Derivatives

Sulfonamides are a special class of chemicals with outstanding antibacterial properties. Sulpha medicines were the first efficient chemotherapeutic agents used to treat bacterial infections in humans, and they were shown to be resistant to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Typhoid and Paratyphoid bacilli, and other germs. N-sulfonation of 2-substituted-pyrimido[1,2- a]benzimidazol-4(10H)-ones yielded a series of new 10-phenylsulfonyl-2-substituted-4,10 dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2- a]pyrimidin-4-one […]

Development of High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Ambroxol, Roxithromycin and Serratiopeptidase in Combined Tablet Dosage Forms
