Water Quality And Plankton Diversity Of Ahi River, Ohiya, Umuahia, Nigeria, Emeka Donald Anyanwu, Egor Katkov, Udeme Effiong Jonah, Amarachuku Ezinne Oji, Immaculate Chiamaka Enwereuzo

Journal of Bioresource Management

The plankton diversity of large and urban rivers has been extensively studied in Nigeria while small rural rivers that harbour rich aquatic biota receive little attention. The composition, abundance, and distribution of plankton of a rural river were assessed in relation to some physicochemical parameters. The study was carried out between May and October 2023 in 3 stations using standard methods. The physicochemical results were: temperature (25.2-27.0oC), flow velocity (0.15-0.46 m/s), transparency (14.0-78.5cm), depth (51.0-105.0cm), pH (5.6-7.8), electrical conductivity (66.0-98.0 µS/cm), total dissolved solids (33.0-49.0 mg/l), turbidity (0.1-1.7 NTU), dissolved oxygen (3.2-6.4 mg/l), biochemical oxygen demand (1.0-2.7 mg/l), …

Foxwood Realty Llc V. New York State Division Of Housing And Community Renewal

All Decisions

The landlord initiated an Article 78 proceeding to challenge a DHCR order that granted the tenant's petition for administrative review, finding the tenant was entitled to a permanent preferential rent and overcharges. The court affirmed the DHCR's determination that the original lease's preferential rent clause was ambiguous, and this ambiguity should be construed against the landlord in favor of a permanent preferential rent. Deferring to DHCR's factual findings and credibility assessments, the court upheld that the preferential rent was permanent and that rent increases above Rent Guidelines Board adjustments constituted overcharges. The landlord's petition was denied, and the proceeding dismissed.

Al-Esraa University College Journal for Medical Sciences

The antibiotic resistance has emerged as a growing international concern affecting not only human health but also the environment, animal population, and global economy. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance poses a serious and escalating threat to public health. This problem is further exacerbated by the limited development of new antibiotic, high production costs, and risks about its side effects. Identifying novel antibiotic agents is crucial for managing fungal and bacterial infection. Consequently, numerous natural compound have been investigated as potential alternative therapies. Plant extracts are valuable source of bioactive compounds and represent a promising strategy to control pathogenic microorganisms. …

Shigella flexneri can cause shigellosis, which results in high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or death. This study developed a detection method based on real-time polymerase chain reaction that targets the sfmD gene of S. flexneri given that the virulence factor encoded by this gene is thought to facilitate adhesion to a host surface. The proposed method involves primer design, DNA isolation, the optimization of primer annealing temperature, and confirmation, specificity, and sensitivity tests. A sfmD primer with an amplicon length of 155 bp was annealed to the target DNA at an optimized temperature of 60 ℃ (range 54 °C–62 °C). This …

In Silico Target Identification For Antioxidant And Anti-Inflammatory Activity Of Oil Palm Leaves Extract After Biotransformation Process, Galuh Permatasari, Irma Kresnawaty, Annisa Aulia Aksa, Djoko Santoso, Widodo Widodo

Makara Journal of Science

Oil palm leaf extract (OPLE) contains abundant phenolic and flavonoid compounds with recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential; however, its pharmacological applications remain underexplored. This study aimed to optimize the enrichment process of OPLE and characterize its bioactive compounds using integrated in vitro and in silico approaches. The extraction was optimized by incorporating trichloroacetic acid and extending the incubation time to 48 h, resulting in significantly increased total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared with the control. LC–MS/MS profiling identified 14 flavonoid compounds with diverse biological functions. Among these, Rhamnetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, Kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, and Nelumboroside A exhibited the strongest antioxidant and free radical …


Grid Realistic Voltage Drop Patterns For Structural Testing Of Integrated Circuits, Aditya Girish, Praphulla Pandey, Srinivas Vooka, Vaibhav Gupta Dec 2025

Grid Realistic Voltage Drop Patterns For Structural Testing Of Integrated Circuits, Aditya Girish, Praphulla Pandey, Srinivas Vooka, Vaibhav Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

During the testing of integrated circuits (IC), simultaneous switching of instances in a region of the IC increases transient current and causes a voltage drop (also referred to as IR drop). Such voltage drops can interfere with proper testing of the chip and complicate fault detection. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage power-aware analysis to predict the locations of IR hotspots that may arise during ATPG testing of integrated circuits. Compared to traditional structural analysis, the techniques improve the accuracy of prediction of IR hotspots, refine switching activity constraints for ATPG, and generate patterns with realistic power. The techniques produce …

Foreword From Editors - 18th Edition: Emerging Cross-Cultural Collaborations, Hands-On Learning And Participation, Yandi Andri Yatmo, Kristanti Dewi Paramita, Rini Suryantini

ASEAN Journal of Community Engagement

This edition of AJCE exemplifies how cross-cultural collaborations and hands-on learning and participation can foster a better and more meaningful process of community engagement. The cross-cultural collaborations enable the co-production of knowledge and creativity between stakeholders from different cultures, in addition to creating cultural competence where people from different realities treat and support others with sensitivity and respect. The hands-on learning process encourages a deeper engagement where stakeholders are more responsive to the reality of the situation they are in and therefore creates better agility for adaptations towards various issues or adoptions of new skills. By focusing on cross-cultural collaborations …

Mathematical Analysis And Numerical Simulation Of A Fractional-Order Sir-Si Model For Malaria Transmission Dynamics, Gassan A. M. O. Farah, Abdulaziz Y. A. Mukhtar, Kailash C. Patidar

Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation with Applications

This study investigates the complex transmission dynamics of malaria, a critical global health challenge, with a focus on the African continent. We introduce a novel approach that employs Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs) to advance the understanding of malaria spread and control. Specifically, we develop a new SIR-SI model using the Caputo fractional operator, which captures the memory effects and time-delay characteristics inherent in real-world epidemiological systems. A detailed analysis of the model's solvability and uniqueness is conducted using fixed-point theory. To obtain an analytical solution, the system is solved via the Laplace transform method, with solutions expressed in closed form …

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis, with ≥80% of infections caused by the GII genogroup. HuNoVs are non-enveloped, with an icosahedral capsid composed of 90 dimers of the major capsid protein VP1, which encloses a minor structural protein, VP2, and a VPg-linked, positive-sense ssRNA genome. Although the atomic structure of the icosahedral capsid formed by VP1 is well characterized using crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy analyses of HuNoV virus-like particles, the structures and the localization of VP2 and VPg inside the capsid, how they are incorporated into the capsid, and whether this process requires interactions between them …
