background: seaweeds contain significant quantities of lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals. aquavac ergosan contains 1% alginic acid extracted from two brown seaweeds, laminaria digitata and ascophyllum nodosum. both in vivo and in-vitro researches have mainly been focused on the effect of ergosan on fish growth, survival rate, reproductive performance and innate immunity in blood and epider...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. na, k and li contents were high, while cr, cu, pb, co, zn, mn and ni concentrations were low in both agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis. proximate analysis showed th...

Forming new secure associations between wireless devices that meet for the first time and do not share a prior trust relationship is an important but challenging problem. We present ProxiMate, a system that allows wireless devices in proximity to securely pair with one another autonomously by generating a common secret key. ProxiMate works by making wireless devices in proximity tap into a surp...

Although distributed Group Support Systems (GSS) are getting popular, there are still some limitations. One of the limitations is few substitutions for face-to-face (FTF) interaction (whether it is related to meeting content or not), so we may say that FTF interaction is one of the advantages of proximate types of GSS. However, there are few studies that focus only on the role of FTF interactio...

changes in proximate composition, colour and textural characteristics of ozone-processed shrimp as affected by combined effects of increasing ozone exposures and iced storage were investigated and for the first time. whilst proximate composition comprised of fat, moisture, and protein contents and colour comprised of l*, a*, b* and metric chroma (c), the texture comprised of adhesiveness, fract...
