    Abstract: Heavy metals have a great ecological significance due to their toxicity and accumulative behaviour. Monitoring of their concentrations in the soils of our environment is very important. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo) in 11 stations in Onitsha South Local Government Area, (i.e Modeebelu Avenue, Ozomagana, Zik Avenue, Port Harcourt Road, Oguta Roa... Show More

    Abstract: The development and spread of resistance to currently available antibiotics is a major drawback in the treatment of microbial infections. Salmonellosis for example remains among the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate the antisalmonellal potential of extracts, fractions, isolated compou... Show More

    Abstract: In this work, the study of copolymer acrylic films was carried out on a laser photoelectric ellipsometer LEF-ZM-1. In this work, we consider a chemical sensor based on an integrated optical sensing element, propose structural schemes of IOCS, as well as conduct studies on a simulation model and assess the potential for detecting changes in the conc...
