Entanglement fidelity for electron-electron interaction in strongly coupled semiclassical plasma and under external fields

This paper presents the effects of AB-flux field and electric field on electron-electron interaction, encircled by a strongly coupled semiclassical plasma. We found that weak external fields are required to perpetuate a low-energy elastic electron-electron interaction in a strongly coupled semiclassical plasma. The entanglement fidelity in the interaction process has been examined. We have used partial wave analysis to derive the entanglement fidelity. We found that for a weak electric field, the fidelity ratio for electron-electron interaction increase as projectile energy increase but remains constant or almost zero for a strong electric field. Our results provide an invaluable information on how the efficiency of entanglement fidelity for a low-energy elastic electron-electron interaction in a strongly coupled semiclassical plasma can be influenced by the presence of external fields

Impact of COVID-19 on the Church of God in Nigeria

This paper explores the effects of Covid-19 in the Church with a bid to identifying the positives and negative influence on the Church, which is expected to be the community of faith. Covid-19 is a disease and death virus that has infected the world since early 2020. Governments around the world are finding it more difficult to deal with it, because it rising has different goals. However, the battle against this virus in Nigeria is becoming more daunting due to persistent difficulties such as pervasive socio-economic inequality, less importance of life being provided to those on the margins, and the government's apathic response. Otherwise, corona virus is both stubborn and untouchable. It's not afraid of strong regimes, riches of wealthy, advanced technology, war arsenals, nuclear weapons, strict rules, or violent police forces. So, who's going to win, the people or the virus? Ultimately, research can discover a cure, but in the meantime, the deadly virus is endangering democracies, undermining religion, economies, employment and businesses, destroying health, mental and social well-being, and killing thousands more on the planet due to fear or hunger, as well as to the dearth of medical facilities

Initial Problems of the Christ Apostolic Church, Agbala Itura and Proffered Solutions

There is scarcely any individual organization without its problems. Such is the situation with C.A.C. Agbala Itura. The Christ Apostolic Church, Agbala Itura, like any other corporate body or indeed any other Church had numerous problems from the beginning, and is still grappling with some now. It is however the belief of the worshippers in the Church that God is able to solve all problems. Some of these problems could be regarded as teething problems, which have been surmounted, while some of the problems are yet to be solved. The Church and its leadership are still looking forward to solving these problems. Some of these problems will be identified and examined below. They include what the members refer to as "opposition from the kingdom of Satan and hell", backsliding of members, financial/ economic problems, interdenominational rancor, differences within the leadership of the C.A.C., disunity and separation within the Church itself, disenchanted youths, allegations about long and boring services, accommodation and space, organization of outreaches, crusades, evangelism, hostilities from the Muslims and others in the neighborhood, transportation and communication, death of some pastors, illiteracy and staff development, unwarranted visitors (thieves), unemployment, the press and a host of other problems. It is significant that the above problems were identified by informants interviewed by the researcher. These informants cut across all categories of people, Pastors and laymen. The researcher observed that, our informants did not mention some latent problems like leadership tussle, misappropriation of funds, low level of morality in the Church, and dwindling level of spirituality. We, however, probed deep with informants who nevertheless mentioned none of these common problems. The researcher came to the conclusion that it is either that the informants have high regard and respect for the founder and the Church and hence would not want their names to be associated with such problems or that such problems do not exist at all in the Church. The researcher is much more comfortable with the latter option since informants willingly volunteered to enumerate the problems they stated about the Church without any undue pressure

An Appraisal of Missions in the Calvary Grace Bible Church, Oyo, Nigeria

This study appraises Missionary activities in the Calvary Grace Bible Church, Inc in the light of Paul Missiology. The main focus of this study was on the methods and impacts of both ministries in the contemporary world. It was established that although methods can vary with time and place but the principles remain the same. Some mission strategies that were not known to Paul were seen adopted in the Calvary Grace Bible Church. But both missions are seen addressing issues as occasions allow it. It was therefore recommended that we must must do as much as possible to care for the physical needs of our members and especially the needy ones in our communityand also use our stewardship of "influence or connection" to find jobs for numerous Christian that are around us.

Digestibility Coefficients of Cattle Hoof Meal Diet by African Catfish Clarias gariepinus Juvenile

Digestibility trial of Cattle hoof waste subjected to five processing methods was conducted on Clarias gariepinus juveniles. A reference diet 70 % and test diet 30 % was formulated with chromic oxide biomarker. Feed and feacal samples collected at 8h interval after feeding were analysed for proximate parameters and digestibility coefficient calculated. There was significant difference (P < 0.05) among treatments crude protein digestibility was highest in Reference diet (88.26 ± 0.04) < soda ash diet (87.49 ± 0.04) < fermented diet (82.15 ± 0.10) < wood ash diet (81.26 ± 0.03) < raw hoof diet (79.57 ± 0.05) and lowest in Autoclaved diet (77.69 ± 0.02). Nutrient digestibility also showed significant difference (P < 0.05) among treatments with highest values for soda ash diets parameters and least protein nutrient in autoclaved diet (58.99±0.08 ); fat, dry matter and energy nutrient in raw hoof diet (56.41 ± 3.49; 23.39 ± 0.16; 25.71 ± 0.75). This study concludes that Clarias gariepinus juveniles can be fed soda ash treated cattle hoof waste

Improving Nutritional quality of Millet (Pennisetum americanum) by solid state fermentation and the effects on the growth performance of African Cat Fish.

Millet is becoming prominent in fish feed formulation as energy source but there is need to increase its protein level and remove the antinutrient for its maximum utilization to be effected. The objective  of this study to determine the level of improving the nutritive value, removing the antinutrient of millet by solid state fermentation process using Aspergillus niger and effect of the product on the growth performance of African catfish fingerlings. Millet seeds were sterilized for 30 minutes, inoculated with Ammonium sulphate and urea at 10gNKg-1 substrate, spores of Aspergillus niger and sulphuric acid to obtain initial pH of 3.5-40. The mixture was fermented for 84h at 350C and 90-95% RH in the laboratory, then sundried for 48hrs, five diets(40% Crude protein) were formulated, containing 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16% inclusion levels of fermented millet . The diets were fed to 225 fingerlings (two week old) weighing 1.28+0.2, stocked at density of 15 fingerlings per tank in triplicate. Millet protein increased from 10.9% to 17.0%, phytic acid reduced significantly from 0.02mg/100g to 0.014mg/100g. fingerlings fed 4% inclusion has the highest value of Percentage weight gain (PWG) 110.2%, Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) 1.4 and lowest value of Feed conversion ratio (FCR) 1.8 while fingerlings fed diet containing 8% and 12% inclusion levels had the lowest value of PWG 26.7%, 37.5% and PER 0.66, 0.68 respectively with highest FCR 3.6.  Therefore,4% of  fermented millet could be included in the nutrition of African cat fish fingerlings  any adverse eefect.

Chemical composition of differently processed Cattle Hoof meal Waste as Feedstuff Ingredient

Waste generation at slaughter from ruminant has led to environmental concerns. Processing slaughter house waste will reduce the problem of disposal and possible utilisation in livestock feed. Subjecting Cattle hoof meal to different processing methods can help in enhancing its nutritive value. Cattle hoof were obtained from the slaughter house; raw hoof was subjected to processing methods by boiling; chemical treatment with 10 % soda ash + boiling; fermentation treatment in water + boiling; 10 % wood ash treatment in water + boiling; autoclave treatment and samples analysed for proximate composition, amino acid profile and mineral content analysis according to standard methods. The hoof proximal analysis ranged 9.30 ± 0.06 % – 12.39 ± 0.01 % moisture content; 0.34 ± 0.01 % – 2.50 ± 0.12 % ash; 0.31 ± 0.01 % – 1.47 ± 0.02 % crude fat; 0.19 ± 0.02 % – 12.71 ± 0.15 % crude fibre and 85.27 ± 0.20 % – 90.74 ± 0.26 % crude protein in all samples. The amino acids profile of the hoof showed significant difference among treated samples. Tryptophan an essential amino acid was below detectable limit in all processed samples and raw hoof. The essential and non-essential minerals content showed significant difference (P < 0.05) among treatments with highest (Mg, Fe, K) in wood ash; (Cu) in raw hoof; (Ca, Na, P, Mn, Zn) in autoclaved samples. This study, suggest that Cattle hoof has the potential of being exploited as a source of animal protein for feed formulation in animal nutrition. This research concludes that the different processing methods affect the nutritive profiles of treated samples hence supplementation of limiting amino acids envisaged
