Many previous studies have linked both DM, especially T2DM as well as altered liver function to CVD.Uncontrolled DM is said to affect cardiac function. This study was undertaken on non-hospitalised T2DM patients (both males and females) to find out if liver enzymes and HbA1c are associated to cardiac function by linking their associations to individual lipid profile tests.In all patients comprising of a total of 50, significant associations of both negative and positive were observed between each liver enzyme and HbA1c analyte studied to individual lipid profile tests at a p value ranging from <0.05 to < 0.001 justifying that both liver and DM are associated to cardiac function. While ?-GT and HbA1c showed associations to TC, TGs and VLDL-c in the case of males, females showed associations to all analytes compared to all lipid profile parameters at p ranging from <0.08 to <0.01.The outcome the results in this study strongly recommends that to assess cardiac functions in T2DM patients, along with lipid profile, the clinicians should occasionally recommend HbA1c as well as liver enzymes as additional package tests. More studies are needed in this filed to arrive at a consensus package tests related to both DM and liver function to do occasionally in all T2DM patients attending Cardiology clinics.

Kaolin is a clay material consisting of substantially pure kaolinite. Kaolin is used in many industrial applications such as ceramic, paint and paper industries. This paper aims to study, for the first time, the beneficiation of Libya kaolin ore. Attrition scrubbing and classification were used to separate the free silica. Wet high intensity magnetic separation was applied to remove colored contaminants. The kaolinite mineral content increased from 63.5 % to 85 %. The whiteness and brightness of kaolin concentrates were efficiently improved. A final kaolin products containing 0.79 – 0.85% Fe2O3 and 0.66 – 0.68% TiO2 were obtained with whiteness about 85%.

The article presents the concept of leadership based on Apostle Paul. Some reflections are made and analyzed. Concepts from the Old ant the New Testaments were considered and narrowed to St Paul. The bottomline is that we should look up to Jesus as the ultimate authority and be subservient to the pedestal of Paul in choosing leaders for the work in the Church of God today. to avoid confusion, divisions and its attendant consequences in the church.

A theoretical and experimental study on [Mn(Benzene)2]2+ has been undertaken in the gas phase. The ions were prepared using a combination of the pick-up technique and high energy electron impact, and then held in a cold ion trap where they were excited with tuneable UV radiation and further activated with methane. The following [Mn(Benzene)2 CH4]2+, [Mn(Benzene)2(CH4)2]+, [Mn(Benzene)2(CH4)2H2O)]+ and [Mn(Benzene)2CO2(CH3)2]+ were successfully identified after the experimental analysis. Two optimised geometries of [Mn(Benzene)2]2+ were observed, namely the C2V eclipse and C2 staggered . The DFT calculated binding energy of methane to manganese benzene dication complex ion [Mn(Benzene)2]2+ at BP86/6- 311++G(d, p) is 15.30 kJ/mol comparing with the calculated 20.55 kJ/mol recorded on the potential energy curve (PEC). The difference of about 5.25 kJ/mol results from the fact that the calculated charge on the manganese metal centre at the optimised geometry of [Mn(Benzene)2 CH4]2+ was 1.30 while a charge of Mn=2.0 was assumed in the PEC calculation.

This article is based on the theory of vortex gravitation and physical anomaly of the Earth - slowing its rotation. Defined orbital acceleration, increase in weight, the approach to the Sun, the age of our planet and the origin of planetary material.

This paper deals with few fixed point theorem for four mappings and some results on 2-Banach space.

Geospatial information gathered through different sensors and geographic objects is generally indistinct, vague and uncertain. The ambiguity turns out to be obvious due to the multi-granular formation of the multisensory satellite images and that directs to error accumulation at every stage. The main aim of this paper is to compare the K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means classification algorithm and find out the change detection in glacier classification by processing images taken over different time frames. The LANDSAT images correspond to the Himachal Pradesh region, one dated June 2005 and the other dated June 2010. To estimate the quality of remote sensing data the non-linear objective assessment parameters are used. Though the classification of glacier cover calculation, by improving the accurate geological classification, might be in a crude form but when projected on a larger scale, it can act as a great tool for research and analysis on a particular geographical location. The environment related bodies around the globe are deeply benefited from the valuable images provided by satellite imagery and their analysis help strategize different methods for environment protection in general and curb global warming in specific.

The Objective of this project is to compare the three methods of analyzing Black Carbon in the atmosphere that is British, Cohen and Gagel method. Samples were collected from Ashaiman and Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region and analysed using mention method. It was observed that there is a good correlation between the Cohen and British method. This is because in most all areas where the Cohen method measures high values for the elemental carbon concentrations; the British method also does the same and the vice versa. This pattern has been observed for both methods in the separate analysis carried out on samples from both site. The Gagel method however, displayed results which did not compare in pattern to either the British or the Cohen methods.

Polyaniline (PAni), shows a unique feature, that it can be modified in a controlled manner by adding electrolyte. The effect of electrolytes like LiCl, NaCl and KCl on the doping behaviour of Polyaniline emeraldine base (EB) has been investigated. The study of the effect of ultrasonic waves on electrolyte - Polyaniline picrate (PAPI) mixture and their interactions were compared.

This study set out to ascertain the nexus between Cost Accounting Information and Price Determination in Nigeria manufacturing companies. Specifically; it establishes the relationship between Information of Unit Cost, Information of Overhead cost, Information of Production cost and selling price of products in Nigeria Bottling Company Plc, Enugu. A survey research design approach was adopted and data collected using five point likert-scale questionnaire which was administered on sample of 293 out of 1100 staff and management of Nigeria Bottling Company Plc, 9th Mile Corner, Enugu. Three hypotheses were formulated and were tested using Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient. Findings unveil that there is significant relationship between Information of Unit Cost and Price determination in Nigeria manufacturing companies. The findings further revealed that there exists a significant relationship between Information of Overhead cost and Price determination in Nigeria manufacturing companies. Finally, the result established also that there significant relationship between Information of Production cost and Price determination in Nigeria Manufacturing companies. Consequent upon the findings, this study recommends among others; that Managers should consider improving their overhead costs apportionment system from the traditional method to the ABC method in order to have accurate calculation of the total costs per unit of their products. Again, that the management of Nigeria Manufacturing companies should pay more attention on reducing cost of productions without having any negative impact on product quality.
