Nitrosamine Accumulation, Processing Variables, and Indigenous Plant Inhibitors in Nigerian Traditionally Processed Meats
Abstract: N-nitrosamines are classified as probable or possible human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines — principally N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) — are formed in abundance during the preparation of widely consumed Nigerian traditional processed meats including suya, kilishi, and balangu. This original investigation combined a six geopolitical zone of Nigerian market survey with laboratory-controlled model system experiments, effects of processing parameters on N-Nitrosamine formation …

Upgrading Nutritive Value of Rice Straw: Processing, Supplementation, and Agronomic Innovations for Improved Utilization
Abstract: Rice straw, a major byproduct of rice production, holds significant potential as a livestock feed but is constrained by its high lignocellulosic content, low crude protein, and poor digestibility. Enhancing its nutritive value is imperative for sustainable livestock production. This study explores a range of innovative strategies aimed at improving rice straw’s digestibility and overall nutritional quality. Physical processing techniques, including chopping, grinding, soaking, and steam treatment, enhance its surface …

Performance and Exergy Loss Analysis for a Single Slope Solar Still Using PMMA
Abstract: A solar still constructed using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) represents an improved approach to solar desalination, in which conventional materials such as metal or concrete are substituted or reinforced with PMMA- based composites PMMA sheets are often used as the transparent glazing cover of the solar still instead of glass. It allows maximum solar radiation to pass into the basin, heating the saline/brackish water effectively. A tubular solar still made from …

In Vivo Hypoglycemic Activity of Aqueous Leaf and Root Extracts of Macaranga Barteri Müll. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) In Swiss Albino Mice
Abstract: Background: Macaranga barteri Müll. Arg. is a perennial plant in the family Euphorbiaceae and is used in African traditional medicine for the management of several ailments, including diabetes. Although the leaves and stem bark have been studied for various pharmacological activities, little is known about the therapeutic value of the roots. Objective: This study evaluated the in vivo hypoglycemic activity of aqueous leaf and root extracts of M. barteri in …

Real-Time Deepfake Detection in Video Conferencing Systems
Abstract: Deepfake technology presents non-exemplary threats to video conferencing platforms, enabling advanced fraud, impression and misinformation campaigns worth billions annually. Current detection methods either exhibit latencies exceeding 100ms or rely on server-side cloud processing, raising privacy concerns. This paper presents DeepConfGuard, a lightweight hybrid architecture combining MobileNetV2 for spatial feature extraction, a bidirectional LSTM with attention for temporal modelling, and EfficientNetV2 for refinement. It reaches 94.8% accuracy with 85 ms end‑to‑end …
