A note on the micro‐organisms associated with the fermentation of seeds of the African oil bean tree (Pentaclethra macrophylla)

Abstract: Fermentation of oil bean seeds involves a mixture of bacteria in which Bacillus spp. are the predominant and most actively involved organisms. Other bacteria involved are Staphylococcus spp., Micrococcus spp. and Leuconostoc spp., but these do not appear to play any major role in the fermentation.

Bacterial fermentation of soya bean for «daddawa» production

Abstract: The fermentation of soya bean for ‘daddawa’ production in Nigeria is carried out by bacteria. Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus were consistently isolated in fermentations lasting 48 h.

Analysis of energy poverty and its implications for sustainable development in Nigeria

Abstract: This study estimates and analyzes the incidence and determinants of energy poverty in Nigeria based on a simple multidimensional energy poverty index that it constructed. It also highlights the implications of energy poverty for sustainable development in Nigeria. The headcount ratio and the logistic regression technique are used. The study utilizes the Nigeria Living Standard Survey data set of 2004, obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics. The estimates show that energy poverty is pervasive in the country; it afflicts over 75 per cent of the population. The determinants of energy poverty in Nigeria include household size; educational level, gender and age of household head; general poverty; region of residence; and proportion of working members in the household. Efforts should be made to adequately tackle the problem of energy poverty in Nigeria. This is a major way to put the country on the path to rapid and sustainable development.

An iterative algorithm for solving split feasibility problems and fixed point problems in Banach spaces

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study split feasibility problems and fixed point problems concerning left Bregman strongly relatively nonexpansive mappings in p-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We suggest an iterative scheme for the problem and prove strong convergence theorem of the sequences generated by our scheme under some appropriate conditions in real p-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Finally, we give numerical examples of our result to study its efficiency and implementation. Our result complements many recent and important results in this direction.
