The application of Sticky gummy paste of anogeissus combretaceae exudates/resin extracted from tree extrudes was studied. It was used as an inhibitive material to control the manifestation corrosion effect on steel bars in built-in high salinity coastal areas. The extracted exudates/resin was coated to reinforcing steel and embedded in the concrete slab, exposed to corrosive media with high salt concentration. The results of maximum calculated percentile of the controlled sample value is -64.36% compared to the corroded and coated value of 154.98% and -60.05% and the controlled corrosion potential differential value is 1.19%, corroded 4.66% and coated 0.73% . The maximum yield of controlled and coated samples was -108.04mV and -122.85mV, which showed the relationship between corrosion potential and probability reference of 𝐸corr > −200mV as a reference range. For non-coated (corroded) samples, the maximum calculated value is -310.58mV; the result is within the reference value of the relationship between corrosion potential and probability of −350mV ≤ 𝐸corr ≤ −200mV value indicating a high value range close to 10% or an uncertain corrosion probability in comparison to the reference range. The maximum calculated percentile of the controlled sample concrete resistance is 141.67% compared to the corroded and coated value of -52.84% and 131.05% and the maximum percentile differential of control are 23.15% compared to the corroded and coated value of 3.87 % and 18.94%. The results of the controlled and layered concrete resistance samples obtained a maximum average value of 15.96kΩcm and 15.47kΩcm with a data value of 10 < 𝜌 < 20 (low) compared to a corrosion value of 7.28kΩcm with a specification of (5 <𝜌 < 10) and with the reference range of the relationship between concrete resistance and corrosion probability. The maximum percentile value calculated from the controlled yield strength is 9.96% against corroded sample and the coated value is -9.21% and 10.67% and the possible differentials value is 0.43% controlled 0.43% corroded and 0.52% coated. The calculated maximum values of the controlled tensile strength percentiles were 2.348% against corrosion and the coated values were -4.08% and 4. 27% and the potential differential values were 0.01% checked, 0.01%% corroded and 0 0.01% coated. The coated samples for yield strength, tensile strength and deformation ratio of the average, percentile and differential potential values of the control, plate samples. uncoated (corroded) and coated concrete had higher breaking loads compared to corroded specimens with reduced failure loads and low load bearing capacity and with average and percentile values compared to the reference range, whereas uncoated samples (corroded) indicated a low load-bearing capacity and reduced value compared to the reference range. The diameter of reinforcement after corrosion maximum calculated percentile value controlled 0.043% versus -1.11% corroded and 1.114% coated, the difference in percentage between corroded 0.121% versus 0.008% coated. The effect of corrosion attack on reinforcing steel embedded in the concrete slab and exposed to corrosion induced acceleration effect. The aggregate results show that the corrosion effect causes a weight reduction/weight reduction in the corroded samples compared to coatings with a percentage exposure and an average increase, resulting in a small increase in the volume of the coating thickness. This study shows the effectiveness and efficiency of exudates/resin as an inhibitor against the effects of corrosion on reinforcement embedded in samples of concrete slabs exposed to induced corrosion.

The study evaluate the scourge of corrosion effects on reinforcing steel with the application Calotropis procera exudates / resin coated directly in different thicknesses to reinforcing steel, embedded into concrete slabs and exposed to coastal waters with a high concentration of salt to curb the rate and degree of corrosion. The hardened concrete slab is fully immersed in 5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution for 360 days, with interval inspection and routine tests at 90 days, 180 days, 270 days and 360 days. The maximum calculated percentile control value is -59.22% compared to the corroded and coated values of 229.5% and -59.22% and the controlled potential difference value is 8.8%, 84.28% corroded and 10.43% coated. The maximum yields of the controlled and coated samples were -105.37mV and -122.66mV 6mV, which showed the relationship between corrosion potential and opportunity in the reference range 𝐸corr > −200mV. Corrosion potential probability values of uncoated samples has maximum calculated range of -308.77mV, the result is within the reference value of dependence between corrosion potential and probability of value −350mV ≤ 𝐸corr ≤ −200mV indicates a high range of values, which is 10% or uncertain probability of corrosion. Results in comparison from the reference range (controlled), it is observed that show that non-coated samples showed corrosion potentials with higher values as a result of accelerated corrosion induced as compared to coated samples. The maximum value calculated from the concrete resistance of the controlled sample is 111.34% compared to the corroded and coated value of -54.53% and 135.59% and the maximum value of the percentile difference from the control is 19.17% compared to the corroded and coated value of 3 0.02% and 15.66%. The results of testing controlled samples coated with concrete resistance obtained the maximum average values of 15.28 kΩcm and 17.53kΩcm with a description of the value 10 < 𝜌 < 20 (low) compared to the corrosion value of 7.9kΩcm with specifications 5 < 𝜌 < 10 (high) and with a reference range of dependence between concrete resistance and corrosion probability at significant corrosion probability. The calculated maximum percentage of the controlled yield strength was 8.31% compared to the corroded and coated values -7.35% and 8.66% and the possible difference values of 0.45% controlled, 0.62% corroded and 0.72% coated. The calculated maximum percentage of the controlled of ultimate tensile strength is 1.99% relative to corroded value of -2.69% and the coated values of 2.78%% and with differential potential values of 0.01% controlled, 0.01% corroded and 0.01% coated. Comparatively, corroded samples exhibited high yielding to low load application representing the effect of corrosion on the mechanical properties of reinforcing steel that has resulted to low load carrying capacity, the corroded also recorded higher strain ratio as compared to the coated to the parameters above. The maximum calculated percentage was set at 0.929% versus corroded - 0.919% and coated at 1.043%, with a percentage difference in corrosion of 0.004% versus 0.067% coated. For comparison, the results of the corroded samples showed a reduction values compared to the diameter of the reinforcement before and after the induction accelerated corrosion test with a percentage decrease in value from 0.048% to -0.919% and an average value in the range from 11.96mm to 11.91mm. Comparatively, the results obtained show a reduction of the mean and percentile values for corroded from 0.07 kg to 0.05 kg and 35.19% to -23.61%. The summary results show that the corrosion effect on corroded samples causes a decrease in weight compared to coatings with percentile values and an increase in mean values, which causes a slight increase in volume with coating thickness.

Medicinal plants have long been used globally for the management and treatment of diverse disease conditions. They are endowed with diverse secondary metabolites responsible for the therapeutic effects they exhibit hence the possibility of discovering novel, effective and affordable therapeutic targets with limited side effects. Scientific investigation of these medicinal plants has witnessed an upsurge in recent times. Piliostigma thonningii (Schum Milne-Redhead) commonly known as ‘‘camel’s foot’’ and ‘‘monkey bread’’and locally as ‘‘kalgo’’ in Hausa, ‘‘Omukpakpa ajalu’’ in Igala, ‘‘abafe’’ in Yoruba, ‘‘nyihar’’ in Tiv, ‘‘mchekeche’’ in Swahili and ‘‘Kharub’’ in Arab is distributed widely in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa. The different parts of the plant are known for the treatment and management of dysentery, fever, respiratory ailments, snakebites, hookworm and skin diseases, and gastro-intestinal tract problems among others. Although promising scientific reports have been published on the various parts of P. thonningii, no review comprehensively summarizes its traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology. Therefore, this review aims to provide a critical and comprehensive evaluation of the traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacological properties and toxicology of P. thonningii as well as offer suggestions for future investigations.

Using Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics and the practice of Critical Discourse Analysis, the study demonstrates how ideas and thoughts are represented in selected speeches the governor of Rivers State. This personality is analysed to have certain ideologies as made manifest in his use of language. Recognising that situation actually determines what to say, recognition is equally given to the language features of the speeches in relation to the functions in particular contexts. The study revealed that Wike’s speeches open with words of appreciation God and humanity. In second step, intentions are declared by the governor who assures the people of Rivers State that their suffering has already gone into history. The governor is seen to have neglected the needs for international relations and foreign policies. He unveils his plans for his administration like restoring the legislature’s autonomy, restoring and enhancing independence of the judiciary, appointing and re-opening of the state’s chief judge and courts, amendment of chieftaincy laws among others. The grammar of the speech is featured frequently with we-pronoun, which is not merely a discourse feature but a sign of collectivity and togetherness. The governor also appeals for unity and cooperation from all the citizens of the state. He feels that the state is in deep trouble which requires careful plan to tackle it. In a similar fashion, he promises to equally cooperate by returning power to the people in the conduct of common affairs.

Background: Metabolic syndrome is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Some studies have suggested that vitamin D deficiency may play role in metabolic disturbance and vitamin D supplementation improves metabolic profile of these patients. Objective: To evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the metabolic profile in the polycystic ovary syndrome patients. Methods: Seventy seven diagnosed cases of vitamin D deficient polycystic ovary syndrome patient with metabolic syndrome, age range 18-45 years were administered standard therapy of oral vitamin D (OH)2 40000 IU weekly for seven weeks followed by maintenance therapy of oral vitamin D2 2000 IU daily. Follow up vitamin D was done 3 months after initiation of vitamin D supplementation. The changes in features of metabolic syndrome namely, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum triglyceride and high density lipoprotein levels were recorded. Paired‘t’ test was done to see if the changes were significant. Result: Mean serum vitamin D was significantly increased (11.5±4.0 ng/ml vs. 36.8±10.7 ng/ml) after the vitamin D supplementation (p<0.05). Triglycerides level decreased (180.7±62.3 vs 148.1±46.2 mg/dl) and HDL level increased (38.2±11.3 vs 47.1±10.3 mg/dl) which were statistically significant (p<0.05). But the changes were not significant for the waist circumference (93.9±8.6 vs. 93.4±8.2), blood pressure (SBP-117.6±12.4 vs 117.5±11.9 mm Hg; DBP- 80.9±7.6 vs 80.8±7.8 mmHg), fasting glucose (5.77±1.02 mmol/L vs. 5.74±0.99 mmol/L). Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation have favorable effects on features of metabolic syndrome.

Background: Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) of abnormal marrow stem cell with BCR-ABL1 fusion gene as a pathognomonic feature. In resource-poor countries, clinical and laboratory parameters were invaluable tools used in the diagnosis.

An experiment work has been carried out to evaluate the parameters affecting a one cylinder engine (spark ignition engine) at two throttle positions (1/2 throttle and full throttle) for two stroke engine and at three throttle positions (1/2 throttle, 2/3 throttle and full throttle) for four stroke engine. Parameters such as brake power, BMEP, Brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption where considered at varying speeds (780, 1560, 2340, 3120 and 3900rpm) and (1000, 1200, 1400, 1600 and 1800rpm) for two stroke and four stroke respectively. The results obtained showed that the brake power, brake mean effective pressure and brake thermal efficiency increases while the torque, specific fuel consumption and volumetric efficiency decreases as the engine speed increases when considering the three throttle positions. The volumetric efficiency and brake power of the two stroke engine for the half throttle positions at 4680rpm for two stroke were 0.229 and 7.545kw respectively compared to the full throttle positions which were 0.299 and 7.662kw respectively. The volumetric efficiency and brake power of the four stroke engine for the half throttle positions at 1800rpm for two stroke were 0.180 and 5.598kw respectively compared to the 2/3 and full throttle positions which were 0.1803, 8.2073kw and 0.1803, 9.2026kw respectively.

“Bian Cheng”, a representative work of ShenCongwen, has fully demonstrated Shen’s unique writing style—the “native soil” style—through his dealing with language. The present paper studies two English versions of “Bian Cheng” with a literary stylistic approach to examine how its originality and freshness can be preserved and recreated in translation. The detailed discussion covers both lexical and syntactical aspect, and introduces a particular situation translators may confront in translating literary texts—“deceptive equivalence”. It is found that the avoidance of lexical redundancy, careful arrangement of sentence structures and the dealing with “deceptive equivalence” are of vital significance in literary translation especially when the unique literary style should be preserved.

This study focuses on the management of nonperforming loans in Bangladesh's banking industry. A supplementary data set was used to conduct this research project. On a year-to-year basis, the total number of nonperforming loans, gross nonperforming loan ratio, and net nonperforming loan ratio are all considered factors from 2011 to 2018. SCBs, DFIs, PCBs, and FCBs had gross NPLs ratios of 30.0 percent, 19.5 percent, 5.5 percent, and 6.5 percent, respectively, at the end of 2018 according to the research. The NPL ratios of SCBs and DFIs were quite high, as were the ratios of gross NPLs to total loans as well as net NPLs to total loans, although FCBs and PCBs were a high level of NPLs but it was tolerable. As a result of a lack of borrower selection, inadequate monitoring, collateral deficiency, money diversion, CRM absence, Basel III implementation, corruption of bankers and political involvement, Bangladesh has accumulated a large number of nonperforming loans (NPLs) in its banking industry. Management of nonperforming loans in Bangladesh's banking industry comprises credit evaluation, loan monitoring, loss provisioning, regulatory framework, loans transferred to third parties and writing down NPLs in an effort to recoup credit losses, the study found. An intended outcome of this research is a set of rules and suggestions on how to reshape NPLs in Bangladesh's banking industry, improve bank management of NPLs, and ensure responsible lending practices.
