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 This project involves a design of sun tracker for PV system. The circuit of the sun tracker is designed in such a way that it follows the track of the sun as it travel in the sky. The LDR are connected to noninverter input of the operational amplifier whose reference voltage resistor R1 and R2 is 10Ω each. At the output of the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT    Aeromagnetic data of Nsukka and Udi areas were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The study was aimed at mapping mineral deposits in a sedimentary basin, delineating susceptibility of rocks in the area, dip, plunge and type of body causing the magnetic anomaly and their trends as well as estimating the depth to magnetic...

Abstract Presently, there are deep concerns over the environmental consequences and the consumption of non-renewable energy sources, with the accelerated greenhouse effect which triggered enormous interest in the use of renewable energy sources e.g. solar, hydropower, wind and geothermal. However, the intermittent nature of harvesting renewable... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Core-shell oxide thin films of TiO2/MnO, TiO2/CoO, TiO2/NiO and TiO2/CuO have been successfully synthesized and deposited on glass substrates, using the chemical bath deposition [CDB] technique. To ensure uniform coating, surface pre-treatment was carried out by cleaning slides with detergent, deionised water, ammonia acid and rinsed with... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT We re-examined the phenomenon of rotational instability in radio pulsars on decadal timescales using a sample of 315 radio pulsars whose spin-rates [rotation period (P) and spin-down rate ( P) ] have been measured on, at least two different epochs. The first stage of our analysis involves a direct comparison of the measured values of P... Continue Reading

Abstract There are several obvious observable evolutionary evidence among all the population of known pulsars, but a consistent description of this evolutionary trend is generally lacking in the literature. In this study, we provide a consistent interpretation of this evolutionary effect, on the ground that the exchange of moment of inertia with... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to examine the variations in meteorological parameters (Temperature, Atmospheric pressure, and Relative humidity)on the surface radio refractivity, N, in Lapai town, Niger state of Nigeria, with focus on the wet and dry seasons. Lapai town, being the study area, is located within latitude 9º 02ʺ N and longitude... 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 Exosmosis and endosmosis verification using white raw eggs have been carried out. Two beakers of dilute hydrochloric (HCl) acid solution were prepared. Two white eggs were placed differently into beakers labelled Beaker A and B respectively containing dilute hydrochloric (HCl) solution and left for five hours. Beaker A (containing...

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...

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 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

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  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 In this work, we designed and constructed a digital counter circuit. The initial design criteria for the project were: to have a two digit output, to have the circuit count from 0-99, to include either a 555 timer or manual counter. Research was conducted into similar analogue electronic circuits and a suitable point of a digital die was... 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  A drastic change in the perception of electric energy . But at the same time there is misreading of FREE ENERGY. Energy becomes free only at a point after which we don’t have to pay for power generation after hiring the unit. By using the magnetic force of magnets continuous motion (Energy) is made. This magnet also produces a... Continue Reading

Abstract: Thin films of Copper Nickel Selenide (CuNiSe) were synthesized on glass slides at room temperature using chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The films were deposited from aqueous solution containing copper ion, nickel ion and potassium selenate (K2SeO4) at varying molar concentration of nickel ion with constant time and pH of the...
