Evaluation of Secondary Metabolites of Some Fungi Isolated From Beach Soils of Lagos, Nigeria Against Some Pathogens

Three beach soils in Lagos, Nigeria were screened for the presence of antibiotic producing fungi against 8 test pathogenic bacteria & fungi. The physiochemical parameters of the soils were determined following standard procedures. Soil plate dilution method was employed for isolation of marine fungi and they were identified based on cultural and microscopic characteristics. Primary screening of isolated fungi for antibiotic potential was determined by perpendicular streak method against known pathogenic test organisms (Escherichia coli, Saphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pnuemoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus). Further sreening of the product of secondary metabolism [antibiotic] of the active fungi was done by agar disc diffusion assay. The fungus with the highest secondary activity was subjected to molecular analysis for further identification. pH of beach soils was alkaline ranging from 7.6-8.0, while temperature and moisture were normal ranging from 26.333 ± 1.155a-30.333 ± 0.577aand 7.142 ± 1.497a-10.030 ± 3.130a respectively. A total of four fungal species of 2 different genera were isolated from the beaches ;Aspergillus niger,Aspergillus flavus,Penicillium purpurogenum and Penicillium islandicum. Both primary and secondary assays revealed only antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Psedomonas aeruginosa with no effect on all test fungi. Highest antibacterial activity[28+0.2a] was exhibited by the fungus identified as Penicillium purpurogenum. Fungi from beaches in Lagos, Nigeria may be a promising source of antibacterial agent useful in the treatment of infections caused by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa.

Biological peculiarities of Leucozonella retteri

The aim of the research is to study the biology, life cycles, distribution and structure of the reproductive organ of Leucozonella retteri in natural conditions. Zoological and malacological methods are used in the work. The collection of the material was carried out according to A.A. Shileiko method. According to the results of the conducted studies, the differences between Leucozonella retteri and other species in the structure of the reproductive organ were manifested in the following. The lower part of the sperm is straight, the ovary is slightly curved. The paw pad is 8, located in 4x2 positions. The stylophore is large spherical. The vagina is cylindrical, its length is 5-6 times greater than the width. The penis is large and conve

A Review of Software Watermarking

The Internet is the hallmark of the age of technology and this technology is complemented by the presence of software which is one of the basic components of the operation of the network and it is used in almost all daily life aspects such as industry, commerce and others. Because the digital documents and objects can be easily replicated and distributed at an economically low cost and as the software is a type of digital object, the problem of software watermarking risen as related to how to protect data from piracy. Therefore, various techniques have been developed to protect codes from misusing and unauthorized alteration. Each of them is known as watermarking technology that protects data by inserting secret information into software

Diagnoses System of Varicose Disease

The diagnoses system of varicose disease has a good level of performance due to the complexity and uniqueness in patterns of vein of the leg. In addition, the patterns of vein are internal of the body, and its features are hard to duplicate, this reason make this method not easy to fake, and thus make it contains of a good features for varicose disease diagnoses. The proposed system used more than one type of algorithms to produce diagnoses system of varicose disease with high accuracy, in addition, this multi-algorithm technique based on veins as a factor to recognize varicose infection. The obtained results indicate that the design of varicose diagnoses system by applying multi- algorithms (Naïve Bayes and Back-Propagation) produced new

Derivable Maps of Prime Rings

Our active aim in this paper is to prove the following Let Ŕ be a ring having an
idempotent element e(e  0,e 1) . Suppose that R is a subring of Ŕ which
satisfies:
(i) eR  R and Re  R .
(ii) xR  0 implies x  0 .
(iii ) eRx  0 implies x  0( and hence Rx  0 implies x  0) .
(iv) exeR(1 e)  0 implies exe  0 .
If D is a derivable map of R satisfying D(R )  R ;i, j 1,2. ij ij Then D is
additive. This extend Daif's result to the case R need not contain any non-zero
idempotent element.

Evolutionary Interpretation of International Treaties

This article dealt with the evolutionary interpretation in three parts: First, it focused on the conceptual framework of evolutionary interpretation of International Treaties, its philosophical and legal foundation and its determinants. As for the second topic, it dealt with the position of the International Court of Justice from the evolutionary interpretation, studying and analyzing its precedents in this aspect and the resulting proposed and adopted criteria. The third topic dealt with the position of the judiciary of human rights through analyzing the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter - American Court of Human Rights based on the criteria that were produced by the judicial practices, which varied according t

Assess the level of achievement

This work, in fact, is an English language teaching study (henceforth, ELT) which may provide the inspiration for much –needed research on issues such as testing students' level of achievement in articulatory phonetics at the university level. It attempts to answer two questions: 1)What is college students' level of achievement in articulatory phonetics? 2- Are there any statistical significant differences in the achievement of college students in articulatory phonetics between the production and recognition testing techniques? This research falls into three sections: Section one indicates the problem, the aims, the hypotheses, the procedures, the limits and the value of the study. Section two provides a general overview of the articul
