Radon-222 is a radioactive gas in the natural decay series of Uranium-238. It easily
emanates from the soil to constitute radiological hazard and is the leading cause of
lung cancer apart from smoking. High indoor radon ...
Tailings produced from tin-mining operations containing elevated levels of Natural Radionuclides (NRs; ) need to be disposed properly to prevent environmental contamination. The knowledge of the mobility of NRs in contaminated ...
Millimeter Wave (MMW) radio systems operating at 30 to 300GHz band provides
higher bandwidth, frequency reuse and communications security but suffers greatly
from attenuation by rain. The design of radio communication ...
Quantum dots are nanomaterials that have several potential applications including the
production of efficient solar cells. Accurate theoretical studies of excitation energies
and absorption spectra of quantum dots are ...
Exploitation of minerals and other factors including density variations reduce the stability of the lithosphere from changes in Earth’s compactibility. The Geopotential Gravity Models (GGMs) are presently used to determine ...
Decay and hollows in stems of Living Trees (LT) are responsible for some tree failures which
may lead to loss of lives and damage to property, especially during stormy weather. This
possible disaster and attendant ...
The Thermodynamic Properties (TP) of gold usually gives an insight into the nature of gold occurrences. However, only geophysical characterization of gold deposits are often undertaken to confirm mineralisation with little ...
The Iruekpen-Ifon road is of economic importance, linking several towns in Edo and Ondo States. However, the recurring failures of sections of the road had made it deplorable. There is dearth of information on the subsurface ...
Accurate information on solar radiation at a specific location on the earth’s surface is indispensable for energy applications and atmospheric research. The required data could be obtained from a dense network of solar ...
The proliferation of mobile telecommunication devices and radio transmitting antennas has precipitated global concern over possible health hazards associated with exposure to the generated electromagnetic radiations.Global ...
Quarry business is thriving in southwestern Nigeria because of the abundance of granitic rocks and the high demand for these rocks in building and construction industries. Granitic rocks contain Natural Radionuclides (NRs) ...
Indoor Radon (IR) and Primordial Radionuclides (PR) which are major contributors to cancer incidence are sources of natural ionising radiation,especially from rocks used in building constructions. The assessment of the ...
