Molluscicidal Activity of Synthetic and Plant Extracts on the Reproduction of snail Lymnaea acuminata
Abstract: Snail, Lymnaea acuminata, is the intermediate host of liver fluke Fasciola hepatica—causative agent of fascioliasis. The sublethal concentration (20% and 60% of 24 h LC50) of synthetic and plant extracts were studied on the reproduction of snail L. acuminata. Both the synthetic (Permethrin and Cypermethrin) and plant extract (Allium sativum and Annona squamosa) caused a significant reduction in the fecundity, hatchability and survival of young snail L. acuminata and also …

EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF SNAIL SHELL ASH AS A FILLER IN HOT MIX ASPHALT
Abstract: Filler play an important role in engineering properties of bituminous paving mixes. Conventional, cement, lime and stone done are used as fillers. In this study, an attempt has been made to access the effect of a non-conventional filler (snail shell ash) experimental procedure was adopted using Marshall Stability method to analyze the following parameter. Stability, flow, void in mineral aggregate, void in mix and void filled with bitumen. The filler …

Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Unsaturated Polyester Reinforced with Coconut and Snail Shells
Abstract: AbstractParticulate-filled polymer composites are becoming quite attractive because of their low cost and wide applications. In this study, the effects of coconut shell (CS) and snail shell (SS) volume fractions (5–50 vol. %) on the thermal and mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composite are investigated. The results show that tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural strength, and hardness of the composite increase as filler concentration increases. However, impact …

Length–Weight and Girth Relationship, Condition Factor, and Stomach Contents of Pila Ovata from Otuoke/Otuaba River, Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Abstract: Otuoke/Otuaba River situated in Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Nigeria serves numerous purposes, such as fishing, laundry, human feacal disposal, amongst others. The river is home to Pila ovata, a mollusc which serves as a special delicacy in the meals of most Bayelsan due to its high protein content. The length-weight and girth relationship, condition factor and stomach contents of P. Ovata (Apple snail) from Otuoke/Otuaba River was studied. Snail samples were …

Analysis of Quicklime Production from Eggshell through Factorial Study
Abstract: Factorial analysis is a method used in experimental design to assess the impact of different input factors on the resulting output. Quicklime is used extensively in many sectors, including those that produce paper, glass, tannery products, agriculture, water treatment, building, and agriculture. This study focused on evaluating key parameters in the calcination process, specifically calcination temperature, calcination time, and the size of eggshell and snail shell particles. The study successfully …

Experimental Investigation on Hybrid Laminated Composites Reinforced with Basalt-Pineapple-Bamboo Fibers
Abstract: In the majority of technological applications, particularly in automotive and building materials, natural fibre-reinforced composites are now more common. Natural fibre developments have seen a tremendous rise in demand recently. As a filler material, Snail Shell Powder was utilized in the current work to evaluate the mechanical and thermal characteristics of hybrid reinforced composites constructed from natural fibres such as basalt, pineapple, and bamboo. Snail shell powder weighed six grams …

Western Indian Ocean and Impacts of SDG14: Life Below Water
Abstract: The SDGs outline a sustainable and inclusive global future. This paper discusses progress toward SDG 14 within the WIO, emphasizing four targets that were set for achievement by 2020. Given that current methods of evaluation of policy-informing lack precision, in this region, little headway has been made toward meeting the set targets, and the attainment of SDG 14 by 2030 does not seem possible. SDG 14.2 and 14.5: Moving at …
