ABSTRACT Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) is an important perennial tropical crop for millions of people around the world particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is preferred due to its agronomical attributes such as ability to grow in poor soils and drought resistance. Cassava storage roots are also a good source of starch. In addition, cassava...

ABSTRACT In this project (A Multi-Wavelength View of M17 Massive Star-Forming Region), efforts were made to determine the distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs) within the M17 region. We find that PAHs are destroyed over a short distance or edge of the HII region. This PAH destruction edge can be located easily using Galactic... Continue Reading

Ionosphere is the region in the upper atmosphere where there are sufficient amount of  electrons and ions to influence the propagation of radio wave. For radio wave propagation  studies and application, a standard model (model based on data) such as IONEX map model was  developed to study the ionospheric parameter i.e. the Total Electron...

Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts  and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human  use. Drinking contaminated groundwater can have serious health effects. Diseases such as  hepatitis and dysentery may be caused by contamination from septic tank... Continue Reading

Abstract The study investigated the spectral index of components of Compact Steep Spectrum sources (CSSs). The purpose of the study was to determine the symmetric nature of the CSSs. A sample of the CSS sources which is made up of 8 galaxies and 4 quasars was taken from the Extra Galactic Zoo for observation. These sources were observed at... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  Digitized high resolution total field aeromagnetic data over Okigwe and environ (Sheet 312) was interpreted using the standard 3-D Euler de-convolution and spectral analysis in order to determine depth to the magnetic basement, delineate the basement topography and relief, and delineate the trend of the structural features associated...

ABSTRACT This research investigated the effect of magnetic field on the thermal conductivity of high temperature type II superconductors. The result suggested that the thermal conductivity of high temperature type II superconductor YBa2Cu3O7- decreases as the applied magnetic field increases at a given temperature. We also found out that the... Continue Reading

There is a crucial need in the mainland regions of Nigeria to enhance the development of wind technology and engineering, which is essential for the designing of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). The Weibull Probability Density Function (PDF) with two parameters is widely accepted and commonly utilized for modelling, characterizing and... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT    The integrated study involving electrical resistivity method and physicochemical analysis of water samples was carried out to investigate the effect of dumpsite leachate on groundwater repositories around the dumpsites in Ikot Ekpene, Uyo and Eket Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State. A total of thirty-three (33) vertical... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  Aeromagnetic data over Abakaliki area of the lower Benue trough of Nigeria was interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively using Oasis montaj software (version: 6.4.2 H.J).The interpretation unveiled basic intrusive bodies like dyke, lacolyte and batholyte in the study area. It also showed fault zone which trends North East to south... Continue Reading

Abstract A nanocrystalline and porous p-Polyaniline/n-WO3 dissimilar heterojunction at ambient temperature is reported. The high-quality and well-reproducible conjugated polymer composite films have been fabricated by oxidative polymerization of anilinium ion on predeposited WO3 thin film by chemical bath deposition (CBD). X-ray diffraction... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT We visited various locations during the time of our field exercise which include: Ekerekunta, Akpoha, Ogo ubi, Okpo ezi, Amaeta Enu. The present study area is bound within the latitude of 5055” N to 6° 0’ 0” N and longitude of 7055” E to 8° 1’ 0” E in the Southern Benue Trough within the Afikpo syncline and Abakaliki...

Abstract Search for alternative materials required for shielding ionizing radiation has being on the increase for some period of time. Lead which is widely used is expensive, therefore researches has to be carried out on other materials. Clay has been suggested but it is not as effective as lead in shielding ionizing radiation. This work therefore... Continue Reading

Abstract Nowadays, ZnO is considered as the most important chemical compounds due their distinctive properties owing to its wide band gab and large exciton binding energy. It is well known that the structural and the optical properties of ZnO differ by different methods of preparation. Therefore, in this work, ZnO power was prepared by two... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The aeromagnetic data of Ubiaja and illushi area that fall within latitude to and longitude to were interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively. The qualitative interpretation revealed that the area is intensely faulted with major anomalies (faults) trending in the northeast and southwest directions. Standard Euler deconvolution, source...
