Geophysical study was carried out in some gully erosion sites within Orlu and environs with the objectives of identifying tectonic and neo-tectonic features, delineate their trends and evaluate their effect in gully development and propagation in the study area. Detailed geological field mapping was carried out to characterize the gullies and to estimate the strikes and directional trends of the gullies. Similarly, GIS interpreted Landsat-ETM imageries were also used to determine the lineaments and their trends in the study area.

This study investigated nutrient removal as well as nutrient balance in a vertical flow constructed wetland planted with Andropogongayanus, Chrysopogonzizanioides, Echinochloapyramidalis, Pennisetumpurpureum and Tripsacumlaxum for treating synthetic domestic wastewater.

The fetal period is essential for the development of muscle fibers and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). This study evaluated the effects of maternal protein restriction during pregnancy and lactation on muscle fibers and NMJs of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle in 21-day-old rat offspring. Wistar rats were divided into a control group consisting of animals born to dams fed a normal protein diet (17% protein) during pregnancy and lactation, and a restricted group consisting of animals born to dams fed a low-protein diet (6% protein) during pregnancy and lactation.
