ABSTRACT
This project reports the design, fabrication and experimental test of a solar water heater for domestic use. It consists of a flat plate collector of aluminum sheet of 1.016mm thickess. A water source tank which is also made from aluminum which can be installed at any location and circulation of water is with the aid of gravity through plumbing network. Experiments were performed on the solar water heater operating under force circulation with the aim of evaluating the collector’s performance. This involves hourly reading of temperature at various locations of the unit from 9am to 4pm for a period of three days. Results show that a temperature of 55ºC was obtained when 20 litres of water was heated during one of the tests carried out

Many individuals have lactose intolerance which means that they are unable to digest significant amounts of lactose due to the low amount of the enzyme lactase in their system. Some other individuals are vegans, hence, avoid dairy products. In this study, melon seeds flour was used to produce powdered milk and stored for 0-2 months. Proximate and mineral analysis was carried out. Results shows it contains (10.85 – 13.45%) Carbohydrate, (12.89 – 13.36%) Protein, (60.82 – 62.65%) Crude fat, (0.91 – 1.11%) Crude fibre, (2.50 – 3.18%) Ash content, and (8.88 – 9.69%) Moisture content. Mineral analysis shows it is rich in Na, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, Cu, Fe, and N. It can be consumed by individuals with or without health issues. Statistically P>0.05, which means there was no significant change in the quality of powdered milk over the time of storage.

Cyanide poisoning poses a significant threat to cardiovascular health, leading to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors such as dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. Ocimum gratissimum (OG), commonly known as scent leaf, is a medicinal plant with potential cardioprotective properties. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the ethanol extract of OG on CVD risk factors in cyanide-induced rabbits. Fifteen rabbits were randomly divided into five groups: group one(drug), group two(ethanol extract), group three(ethanol extract), group four(cyanide), group five(control). Cyanide-induced rabbits were orally administered OG extract and drug(Sylimarin) for 21 days. Blood samples and organs(heart) were collected for biochemical analysis of CVD risk factors, including total protein profile, cholesterol levels, arterogenic coefficient, cardiac risk ratio, vitamin, and nitric oxides concentration. Certain experimental groups displayed promising changes, such as elevated HDL- C levels, improved endothelial function, and enhanced cardiac muscle function, others exhibited
adverse alterations in lipid profile and endothelial function. These findings underscore the complex nature of herbal remedies and emphasize the importance of empirical validation to ensure their safety and efficacy in treating cardiovascular diseases.
