White Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is an alternative food for the society because of its high nutrients content. This study uses of ZPT and media to see the grow of the mycelium white oyster mushroom. Media used are the boiling water extract of nuts (green beans, soy bean, peanuts, beans of string bean, and beans of nut snaps) and ZPT (Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Kinetin). Anova was used to analyze the data at a significant level of α = 0.05. The results shows that: (1) There’s a significant effect of ZPT and Non-ZPT on the mycelium growth with p=0.000, Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) shows that Kinetin is highest contribution to the significancy of Anova; (2) planting media used in the study shows a significant differences on the mycelium growth with p=0039, Duncan Multiple Range Test shows that beans of long bean and soy bean are the highest contribution to the significancy of Anova; (3) time/days of observation  done in the study shows a significant differences on the mycelium growth with p=0000, Duncan Multiple Range Test shows that T6 or day 14 of observation shows the highest contribution to the significancy of Anova; (4) the interaction of ZPT, Non-ZPT and planting media show a significant differences on the mycelium growth p=0000; (5) the interaction of ZPT, Non-ZPT and time show a significant differences on the mycelium growth with p=0000; (6) the interaction of media and planting time show a significant differences on the mycelium growth with p=0000; and (7) the interaction of ZPT, Non-ZPT and planting media and time do not affect significantly the mycelium growth with  p=0053.

Coolants are generally heat transfer fluids used as cutting fluids for machining or engine cooling. They are generally mixture of various constituents and their chemistry is responsible for their performance, acceptability and shelf lives. With much known about the merit of agro-based materials, this study proposes the use of bio-waters in coolant-mix as a substitute for ordinary water commonly used as base fluids. Water extract from fermented ground maize (WEFGM) employed as bio-water was emulsified in bio-oils (groundnut oils) to form a complete bio-fluid based for the coolant to which other additives are added to form the test solutions. Replicate samples were formulated with similar standards using deionized WEFGM and deionized water for comparison at 5 and 10%vol of additives. Following various analytical tests, the developed coolant samples have concentration 2.33-2.58mg/L, total dissolved solids 31.2-73.2 g/L, pH 1.85-2.50, specific gravity 1.29-1.31 and viscosity 8.12-11.44 cSt. At both additive concentrations, the biofluid-based samples have proven better in terms of all these properties than water which is generally considered as the most suitable and being currently used as base fluid in most heat transfer applications.

Preparations of the root bark of Tabernanthe iboga have long been used in Central and West African traditional medicine to combat fatigue, as a neuro-stimulant in rituals, and for treatment of diabetes. The principal alkaloid of T. iboga, ibogaine, has attracted attention in many countries around the world for providing relief for opioid craving in drug addicts. Using a plant metabolomics approach, we detected five phenolic compounds, including 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 30 alkaloids, seven of which were previously reported from T. iboga root bark. Following a report that iboga extracts contain insulinotropic agents, we aimed to determine the potential alleviating effects of the water extract of iboga root bark on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperglycemia as well as its effects on cognitive function in male C57BL/6J mice. Feeding a HFD to mice for 10 weeks produced manifestations of metabolic syndrome such as increased body weight and increased plasma levels of glucose, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, insulin, leptin, and pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-6, MCP-1, ICAM-1), as compared to mice fed a low-fat diet (LFD). Supplementation of HFD with iboga extract at ibogaine doses of 0.83 (low) and 2.07 (high) mg/kg/day did not improve these HFD-induced metabolic effects except for a reduction of plasma MCP-1 in the low dose group, indicative of an anti-inflammatory effect. When the HFD mice were tested in the water maze, the high-dose iboga extract caused hippocampus-dependent impairments in spatial learning and memory, as compared to mice receiving only a HFD.
