APPLICATION OF HEC-HMS MODEL FOR SIMULATION OF SEDIMENTATION IN SHIKA DAM, ZARIA-NIGERIA

A YAHAYA, H ISMAIL, SZ ABUBAKAR Nigerian Journal of Engineering 32 (1), 1-1, 2025

The water storage in Shika dam, Zaria-Nigeria is often adversely affected by sedimentation because of severe soil erosion in headwater catchments. The HEC-HMS model is a commonly used tool to simulate streamflow and sedimentation of various processes of the hydrological cycle, depending majorly on their characteristics. The objective of this study is to apply HEC-HMS…

Hepatoprtective and Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) And Carrot (Daucus carota L.) in Rats Fed Breast Carcinogen

SZ Abubakar, IA Siddiq, AI Ganiyu Bulletins of Natural and Applied Sciences 2 (1), 21-37, 2025

Cancer has been a menace to public health. Among all cancers, breast cancer is the most common in women. This research investigated the preventive effect of tomato and carrot supplementation in wistar rat administered breast carcinogen, Dimethylbenz-[a]-anthracene (DMBA). Tomato and carrot were dried under shade and pulverized. Forty-eight female rats were randomly distributed into 8…

EVALUATION OF ARTEMISININ CONTENT AS AFFECTED BY SOIL AND WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES UNDER GRAVITY-DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM I SAMARU, NIGERIA

H ISMAIL, FI JIGO, SZ ABUBAKAR Nigerian Journal of Engineering 30 (2), 67-67, 2023

Malaria has been among the dangerous diseases not only in Nigeria but Africa as whole. Artemisia crop has an artemisinin, which is a strong anti-malaria drug. However, despite its importance in curing this disease, it is only produced under rain-fed but hardly produced under irrigation in Nigeria. The experiment consisted of three levels of irrigation…

Oil adsorption using kaolinite clay and its characterization

AA Halilu, S Abubakar, YB Muhammad Asian J. Appl. Sci. Technol. 3, 242-256, 2019

Kaolinites are the most widely recognized clay minerals found in the topsoil complex and can occur as a result of weathered silicate rocks and mineral. This research investigates the adsorption of oil using kaolinite and its characterization. This is achieved by determining the effectiveness of kaolinite as oil adsorption material and feasibility of kaolinite re-adsorption…
