DECOLORIZATION OF SOME TEXTILE DYES BY PLEUROTUS CITRINOPILEATUS AND ASPERGILLUS NIGER IMMOBILIZED ON WHEAT STRAW Abstract: The potential of wheat straw immobilized Aspergillus niger and Pleurotus citrinopileatus were studied for biodegradation ability of different types of textile dyes. Non exposed and exposed tested immobilized fungi to (1 KGy and 2 KGy) of gamma irradiation were used. The tested textile dyes were Reactive red Bx, Direct Brown BN, Direct yellow 5G, disperse orange 2 RLS, Disperse

European economies suffered a severe depression in the late nineteenth century and this forced merchants and manufacturers to impose tariffs and cartelize domestic markets (Falola 159). Imperialism followed soon after, out of the Europeans’ desire to stabilize national income, manage extreme fluctuations of the business cycles and promote the effective growth of capitalist economies globally (Wehler 137). At the Berlin Conference of 1884-85, which was called to manage the ongoing process of colonization

January 2016, the population of Niger was estimated to be 19.8 million and a population growth rate of 3.9%, one of the fastest population growth rates in the world”, (World Bank para 1) according to the article “The World Bank in Niger.” Niger is a politically unstable country with no food security, and many natural disasters. Niger having one of the fastest growing population rates in the world is not a beneficial factor for a developing country to have. The children of Niger are being born quickly, and

As Steven Patrick Morrissey said “Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society.” Tragedies in African nations have been glossed over or omitted throughout history. The Congolese genocide, prompted by King Leopold II’s acquisition of the Congo Free State, killed an estimated 10 million people. Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, can be criticised through many different lenses. Though Natives are a large part of Conrad’s narrative of European atrocities in the Congo, his treatment

Nigeria is located on the western coast of Africa, surrounded by Benin, Cameroon, and Niger. This country is known to have one of the largest populations among the African countries. Falola (3) says that not only it has large population, but also its land size is a little bigger than the size of the U.S. state of Texas. Nigeria has about 170 million residences which is about half of current population in United States. In other words, Nigeria has a very dense population regarding its size of land

Case Summary What has occurred in the Niger Delta is linked to its past struggles with military rule transitioning to democratic rule, which often ends in a military regime taking control nonetheless. From the start of its independence, Nigeria has slowly grown in its dependence on oil as it’s main economic revenue stream. Before the discovery of oil, the state had yam and cassava crops, palm oil, rubber, and lumbers that provided economic revenue, though modest (Jike, V.T. 2004). However once oil

Many Niger Delta separatist groups still operate Outside of the program and these groups have gained more traction with the formation of Separatist groups in other parts of Nigeria. One of such separatist groups is Boko Haram, which has established itself as

Abstract There is need for exploring new frontiers and production of hydrocarbon from the Niger Delta basin for use in the energy sector. Sequel to this, it is pertinent to have adequate knowledge about the geology the basin to discover and exploit new conventional sources. The geology of the Niger Delta basin is summarized into three depositional belts; Akata, Agbada and the Benin formation. The source rock for oil in the basin is from the Akata formation whilst Agbada formation is the main reservoir

The word timba also is part of a large family of ìmbî and ìngî words which then made their way into Spanish from African languages and was a word that had several different uses with no particular definition, that was before it became the newest Cuban music and dance craze and in the 1970-‘s and 1980’s is when Cuban music took another direction with Timba, it was mostly heard within the African-Cuban genre which was the Rumba. Timba was often refered to the collection of the drums in a folk ensemble

1.4 Literature Review 1.4.1 Locating and Quantifying Flaring Activities Although gas flaring has been a fundamental activity in the oil and gas industry since the discovery of oil, the exact magnitude of the problem both globally and regionally has been uncertain, reported data from governments and independent oil companies had its errors and limitations. In 2001, Elvidge et al. proposed that the Defence Meteorological satellite program (DMSP) Operational Linescan system’s (OLS) Night-time lights
