By creating a handheld computer that succeeded where so many other palm computers had failed, Palm Computing quickly gained popularity in the personal organizer market in 1996 and 1997. Today the Palm OS accounts for over 80% of all operating systems installed on handheld computers. In the addition, over the past several years, new open documentation standards, freely available Software Develop...

Diet for some time now in Nigeria has undergone many changes such as changes in dietary intake of fats and oils. There has been an increasing consumption of partially hydrogenated trans-vegetable oils and a decreasing intake of lauric acid-containing oils. Although popular literature and people generally, usually attribute an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) to elevated levels of ...

six hundred day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 35-day trial to compare the effects of soybean oil, palm oil and fish oil supplementation on the performance of broilers in terms of feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion. the chicks were randomly distributed following a completely randomized design in four groups having three replications per treatment. each treatment had 150 bir...

The oil palm, Elaeis guineensis, is the source of palm oil – the ‘tropical golden oil’. Malaysia is the world’s largest exporter of this golden oil. Palm oil is a versatile oil with a wide range of uses in food and nonfood areas. Triglycerides constitute the major component of crude palm oil, with smaller proportions of diglycerides and monoglycerides. The oil also contains other minor constitu...

Hydroponics culture have many advantages such as increased yield, health and uniform product, conservation of water and land , better protect , control of environmental pollution and reduce of workers for cultivation. So in recently years, usage of organic and inorganic substrates obtained more important for greenhouse owners and researchers. The aim of this study was Effects of culture substra...

Oleochemicals refer to chemicals from natural oils and fats of both plant and animal origins. However, they also include those derivatives derived from the subsequent modification of carboxylic acid group of fatty acids by chemical or biological means, and other compounds obtained from further reactions of these derivatives. Prior to 1980, about 90% of the raw materials for oleochemical industr...
