People become nervous and worried whenever they are exposed to X-rays or similar forms of radiation. Such reactions may be attributed to ignorance, hearsay or actual knowledge of the harmful effects associated with these forms of radiation. To ascertain the true position a Radiation Safety Awareness survey was conducted among patients who receive X-ray irradiation at three Hospitals in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study employed the use of a carefully thought-out questionnaire administered to one hundred and fifty (150) patients and radiographers at the selected hospitals. Seventy-five of eighty (93.8%) of the radiographers, and sixty of seventy (85.7%) of patients responded. Of these 44 (58.7%) of the radiographers reported that they were aware of the dangers of ionizing radiation, while 52 (86.7%) of the patients expressed ignorance. We have shown that the patients’ awareness of the dangers of ionizing radiation is very poor while level awareness by the radiographers is unacceptable. In conclusion, concerted effort is to be made by all concerned for a successful healthcare delivery.

Lead and lead compounds are generally noxious pollutants. Lead contamination from a variety of industrial sources pose a significant environmental threat to receiving waters and its presence causes contagion of plants and then through nutritional chain it affects the health of humans and animals. The present study undertakes the efficiency of natural bentonites taken from various areas of Pakistan for removal of lead from wastewater. The batch adsorption study was applied to remove this toxic metal. The quantities of lead metal before and after the treatment of standard solutions with different samples of bentonite were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopic method. The studies were carried out at room temperature, pH 7 and -200 mesh particle size using 50ml of metal solutions. The time taken to maintain equilibrium was one hour. Then percentage adsorption was calculated for different bentonite samples.

An assessment study was conducted to investigate the role of serum Haptoglobin (Hp) phenotypes in Sudanese patients with liver diseases on susceptibility to attain these diseases. Hp phenotypes were determined by separating sera supplemented with haemolysate on 4.7% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Benzidine staining. The number of individuals with Hp1-1 was found significantly higher among patients with hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) (P<0.0005), patients with liver cirrhosis (P<0.0005) and patients with liver cancer (P<0.002) when compared to healthy control group. We suggest an association between Hp1-1 and susceptibility to HBV, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer that might be further associated with the development of different pathological complications.

The concentration of silver in some photographic wastes (photographic solution, stabilizer solution and photographic films) has been determined in this study. Plantain ash solution (PAS) of different concentrations was used as solution for stripping the films and as extractant for the photographic solutions. Products obtained were analysed for silver content. The concentration of silver was measured using UV-visible spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 380nm, path length 1cm using silver nitrate for calibration. Results obtained revealed that plantain ash solution extracted silver from the various wastes in all the concentrations of PAS used. However the silver content was observed to be highest in the photographic film and fixer solution and lowest for stabilizer solution in the particular instance. In all the photographic wastes studied, it was observed that although more products were recovered by using higher concentrations of PAS, higher concentrations of silver ions were obtained when lower concentrations of PAS were used (0.1500 -0.8450M ). Therefore lower concentrations of PAS can be used for leaching of photographic wastes of silver.

The paper examines prospects of applying logistics management to branch operation in a typical commercial banking sector using the case of Nigeria Commercial Banks. The research design involves an evaluation of selected study variables which are regressed to determine the impact of operational cost control on bank profit. On the basis of findings the study undertakes the development of improvement models .The study thus recommend the master plan and supply chain iterative processes, as operational improvement options for controlling bank logistic activities. The robustness of the master planning and continuous improvement models designed have the potentialities for enhancing the quality of bank operations whose functionality depend on resource flow across a typical head-office-branch network.

Water Quality Index has been applying in the present study to assess suitability of groundwater quality for drinking purposes in Ratmao –Pathri Rao Watershed, Haridwar District, India. This was carried out by subjecting twenty one groundwater samples, collected from eleven selected site, to comprehensive physico-chemical analysis. Nine parameters have been considered for calculating the WQI such as: pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, and total dissolved solids. The computed WQI shows that 48% of water sample falls in excellent categories and 48% falls in the good water category. On the other hand one site located at Teliwala village which represent 4% falls in very poor categories. Such waters are not suitable for drinking purposes under normal condition and further action for salinity control is required. The high value of WQI at this site has been found to be mainly due to the higher values of TDS, Ca +2 , K + , Cl , Hco3 , No3 2and So4 2where it was found that there is a very high correlation coefficient between them

A morphometric analysis of the foramen magnum and jugular foramen of adult skulls in southern Nigeria was carried out to demonstrate the anatomical variations in morphology. A total number of 120 dry skulls were used for this study. Measurements were performed by using a digital vernier caliper to span across the lengths and widths of the two foramina. Results revealed that the mean length and width of the foramen magnum was 36.11±0.24mm and 29.65± 0.24mm respectively. The mean length of the right and left jugular foramen was 15.76±0.22mm and 13.39±0.23mm respectively, while the mean width of the right and left jugular foramen was 9.34±0.18mm and 7.54±0.20mm respectively. There was a significant difference between the right and the left jugular foramen. The right jugular foramen was found to be larger than the left in Southern Nigeria.

The values of physicochemical properties and other parameters of the oil determined are in favour of its usage for cosmetics based on the previous research works .Exploitation of its seed oil for use in cosmetic products in some countries were also critically reviewed. Most details centered on the most profitable use of the seed oil compared to its usage for biofuels.

Prompted by the high cost of building materials as well as the amount of dead load weight generated by block wall on beams and columns in partitioning works most especially in high rise buildings, this project work on the use of sawdust as admixture in production of hollow sandcrete blocks was carried out in order to investigate a possible solution to the problems. The research work understudies the weight vis-a-vis cost of production of available commercial sandcrete blocks in Lagos metropolis. It has been observed that prices of construction blocks were typically above the reach of many Nigerians. Production of sandcrete blocks were made by partial replacement of sand with a varying proportion (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) of sawdust. The strength of each block was determined to ascertain conformity with the minimum acceptable standards. Equally, the weights were checked and compared with blocks devoid of sawdust. The tests were carried out on the 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after production. From data gathered, recommendations were given which will be beneficial to the construction industry and general populace in respect of low cost and light weight sandcrete blocks. It is concluded that if the recommendations herein should be followed, problems of cost and weight in building construction shall be reduced.
