BACTERIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF SOBO DRINKS RETAILED WITHIN ILORIN METROPOLIS

Serological survey of Chikungunya virus in Ilorin Metropolis, Nigeria.

Evaluation and analysis of noise levels in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria.

Evaluation and analysis of noise pollution levels have been carried out to determine the level of noise and its sources in Ilorin metropolis. Noise measurements have been done in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and at night to determine noise pollution all over the city. The selected areas of study are commercial centers, road junctions/busy roads, passenger loading parks, and high-densit...

Bacteriological Quality Assessment of Nigerian Non Alcoholic Beverage (Kunun-zaki) Sold in Keffi Metropolis, Nigeria

Twentyfive (25) samples of freshly formulated Kunun-zaki, a very common Nigerian non-alcoholic cereal beverage were obtained from 5 different sale locations in Keffi metropolis and analyzed using the Sandard Plate Counts (SPC), to determine their respective bacteriological quality. The results obtained showed that the total bacterial counts of Kununzaki in the 5 different locations range from 3...

Quality Characteristics of Retailed Sucuk (Turkish Dry-Fermented Sausage)

Fifty sucuks (19 factory sucuks and 31 butcher’s sucuks) were collected from local markets and butchers. Chemical, microbiological and overall sensory qualities of sucuks were investigated. There was a great variation in the concentrations of biogenic amines and levels of residual nitrite in them. Aerobic plate, lactic acid bacteria, and mould and yeast counts of factory sucuks varied from 5.56...

An Adaptive Directional Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithm

In this paper we propose a simple adaptive Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithm attempting to study directions on which the Metropolis algorithm can be ran flexibly. The algorithm avoids the wasting moves in wrong directions by proposals from the full dimensional adaptive Metropolis algorithm. We also prove its ergodicity, and test it on a Gaussian Needle example and a real-life Case-Cohort study ...
