The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women at booking in Enugu, South Eastern Nigeria.

Abstract: Background More than half of the pregnant women in the world have hemoglobin levels indicative of anemia. Knowledge of the current situation of the condition in our environment is necessary. This knowledge will motivate antenatal caregivers toward early detection and prompt management of anemia in pregnancy.

Weak and strong convergence theorems for fixed points of pseudocontractions and solutions of monotone type operator equations

Abstract: Let H be a real Hilbert space, K a nonempty closed convex subset of H and T : K → K a Lipschitz pseudocontraction with a nonempty fixed-point set. Weak and strong convergence theorems for the iterative approximation of fixed points of T are proved. Furthermore, if T : H → H is a Lipschitz monotone operator and f ∈ R(T), where R(T) denotes the range of T, weak and strong convergence theorems for the iterative approximation of solutions of the operator equation Tx = f are proved.

Micro‐organisms Associated with Cassava Fermentation for Garri Production

Abstract: 1The predominant micro-organisms isolated from de-watered cassava pulp fermenting for garri production over a six-day period were mainly Leuconostoc and, to a lesser extent, yeasts 2Corynebacterium sp which had been implicated by earlier workers as the bacterium fermenting cassava was present in low numbers only 3It is suggested that although the predominant bacteria would be expected to produce lactice acid from the free sugar of the cassava, the breakdown of the cassava glucoside linamanin is probably accomplished more by the endogenous enzyme linamarase than by bacterial activity
