ABSTRACT
A study of natural radiation levels and distribution of dose rates in parts of the Younger Granite Province of Nigeria constitutes this work. It has established the extent and distribution of various parameters of ionizing radiation across the area. By using a combined solid scintillation and gas filled radiation detection techniques, gross gamma as well as gross alpha/beta radiations were detected and measured within the different rock units, the result of which show that...

| 92 | Student Researchers |
ABSTRACT
The involvement of Listeria monocytogenes in bacterial meningitis and spontaneous abortion in some towns in northern Nigeria was investigated. Three hundred cerebrospinalfluid (CSF) samples, 300 blood and 300 placenta swab samples were collected from meningitis and spontaneous abortion patients in the study area of Bauchi, Jos and Kano. Three hundred nono (a fermented milk product) samples were also collected from milk hawkers at various locations in the study areas. The sa...

ABSTRACT
Soybean is a very important leguminous seed crop; known for its highly valued proteinandoilowingto its use in food, feed and industrial applications. The cultivation of soybean could be of great impactin curbing food insecurity and its improvement could be of great benefit to humanity. Geneticvariability is the basic requirement for crop improvement as it provides wider scopefor selection.Selection of traits through morphological and molecular means increases the frequencyf...
