The upsurge in the prevalence of resistance to many synthetic antifungal agents and incidence of multidrug resistant mosquito-borne diseases has spurred scientists to research for new plant-based antifungal and mosquitocidal ...

The study set out to evaluate the effect of industrial activities by analyzing selected heavy metals and physicochemical parameters of water. Chemical survey was conducted in 9 selected sites (potential polluting sites) ...

Soil contaminated with heavy metals from agricultural and industrial sources leads to unhealthy food. The metals enter the food chain and are consumed by humans. Phosphate fertilizers too contain undetermined amounts of ...

The electronic structure and defects of barium fluoride, BaF2, have been studied using the denstiy functional theory, DFT and density functional perturbation theory, DFPT. Lattice parameter of 6.10 Å was calculated comparable ...

Urtica dioica (U.dioica) commonly known as the stinging nettle is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the plant family Urticaceae. The aqueous extract of the plant have been shown to have antihyperglycemic activity ...

Nutrient analysis of vegetables plays a crucial role in assessing their nutritional significance. Plant foods provide almost all essential nutrients for human diet. Many stakeholders in human nutrition have emphasized the ...

For many years it has been widely accepted that crystal dehydration can be related to internal crystal structure. However, there is very little empirical data or experiments on this work. This work makes an attempt to use ...

The emergence of resistant strains of HIV-1 towards existing drugs has prompted a search for new compounds with good antiviral activity and favourable toxicological profile. This work reports the synthesis of a PETT ...

In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of monometallic and bimetallic complexes of schiff base ligands have been undertaken. Synthesis of bimetallic complexes initially involved preparation ...
