Abstract: FTIR spectroscopy was used to analyze secondary structural composition of protein in egusi. Spectral deconvolution using mathematical techniques such as fourier self deconvolution and second derivative was used to provide meaningful information about the molecular structure of proteins in egusi. The use of second derivative to deconvolute the struc... Show More

Abstract: In this paper, we extend the model of Blower et al. [1] by incorporating certain infection terms such as vaccinated individuals, treatment rate, waning rate and efficacy rate.A bifurcation analysis is performed on the vaccination model by applying a bifurcation method based on the use of center manifold theory.We determine threshold values and deri...

Abstract: In this study, surface properties of bacterial nanocellulose, harvested from different culture media, with and without ethanol, using spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction were investigated. The addition of ethanol resulted in BNCs with high O/C ratios. XRD and FT-IR measurements showed a higher crystallinity for the BNC grown in H medium, wh... Show More

Abstract: The construction and performance characteristics of carbon paste electrodes for Oxomemazine Hydrochloride (OXCl) are described. Different methods for electrode fabrication (modified with the ion-pair, ion pairing agent or soaking the plain electrode in the ion-pair suspension) have been used. Matrix compositions were optimized on the basis of effec... Show More
