The vulnerability of water bodies to contamination within the neighbourhood of open mine cast environ cannot be overemphasized. Evidence of radioactive trace elements associated with the target minerals in the Plateau State (Nigeria) showed the extent of this vulnerability. In order to address this challenge, the radioactivity levels of water samples from mine ponds, streams, wells, and borehol...

This study examines the psychometric properties of the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) in children with visual impairments (VI). Seventy-five children aged between 6 and 12 years with VI completed the TGMD-2 and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC). The internal consistency of the TGMD-2 was found to be high (alpha = 0.71-0.72) and the interrater, intrarater, a...

Gross, histological and ultrastructural findings are described in 6 natural cases and in 2 experimental cases of African horsesickness. From the gross lesions the cases were divisible into 2 groups which represented the previously described pulmonary and mixed forms of the disease. Histologically, abundance of fibrin and inflammatory cells in oedematous lung suggests that the pulmonary lesion i...

The monoamine transporter binding properties, gross behavior, and locomotor activity effects in mice and drug discrimination results in cocaine-trained rats of the 2 beta,3beta-, 2 beta,3 alpha-, 2 alpha,3beta-, and 2 alpha,3 alpha-isomers of several 3-(4-substituted-phenyl)tropane carboxylic acid methyl esters were compared (2a-f, 3a-f, 4a-f, and 5b,c). The 2 beta,3beta-isomer showed the highe...
