The aim of this paper is to analyze the squeezing and statistical properties of superposed output coherent and squeezed laser light beams. In order to carry out the analysis, we have obtained the superposition density operator along with the Q functions, we have calculated the mean photon number, the photon number variance and the quadrature variances for the superposed output light beams. It has been found that the mean photon number and quadrature variances of the superposed output light beams are the sum of the mean photon number and quadrature variances of the separate light beams, respectively. In addition, the mean photon number and quadrature squeezing of the superposed output light beams increase with linear gain coefficient.

Background and Objective: This research is based on conceptual design of single purpose desalination system by utilizing the Nuclear Energy so that the Sea water can be utilized for the use of industrial and potable purpose. Materials and Methods: The power required for the desalination of 2.6 MGPD is 40 MWth. The fuel used in the nuclear reactor is Uranium Dioxide (UO 2 ) with 3% enrichment. The coolant used is light water (H 2 O) which is also used in the intermediate looping. To slow the fast neutrons to thermal energy, the moderator used is also the light water. Multi-Effect Desalination (MED) process is considered as a process of desalination after analyzing various quality and economic benefits. Results: The fuel was designed and arranged in the core using 4 assemblies with each assembly having a matrix of 15x15 fuel rods. The thermal designed of this study is based on the standards as mentioned by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The core neutronics and thermal parameters resulted in 3% enriched fuel of UO 2 . Conclusion of the Study: On the basis of numerical analysis using the similar conditions the parameters like He layer thickness, cladding thickness of Zircalloy material, length of fuel rods and coolant bulk temperature were adopted. By executing the necessary design calculations, the nuclear reactor design was finalized which is meant only for heating purpose.

Nanotechnology is unique in that it represents not just one specific area, but a vast variety of disciplines ranging from basic material science to personal care applications. Thus this technology is very advanced and various researches are a heading in this field very quickly One of the important areas of nanotechnology is “nanomedicine,” which, refers to highly specific medical intervention at the molecular scale for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases. The importance of nanotechnology in drug delivery is in the concept and ability to manipulate molecules and super molecular structures for producing devices with programmed functions. Conventional liposomes, polymeric micelles, and nanoparticles are now called “nanovehicles,”. Those conventional drug delivery systems would have evolved to the present state regardless of the current nanotechnology revolution. To achieve efficient drug delivery it is important to understand the interactions of nanomaterials with the biological environment, targeting cell-surface receptors, drug release, and molecular mechanisms of cell signalling involved in pathobiology of the disease under consideration. Several anti-cancer drugs including paclitaxel, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil and dexamethasone have been successfully formulated using nanomaterials. The nano drug delivery systems hold great potential to overcome some of the barriers of cells and molecules in heart attack and cancer.

In Physics, one of the current hot research related to material for energy storage problem is finding superconducting materials that can work at room temperature. In this work we study the properties of FeSe superconductor under pressure. We have performed density functional theory(DFT) calculations as implemented in QUANTUM ESPRESSO. All calculation were executed using the tetragonal leadoxide or P4/nmm structure, and we used experimental value of lattice parameters a and c. We found that superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of FeSe increases sensitively under pressure. We concluded that the change in lattice parameter and the increment in DOS can be an evidence for high Tc . Furthermore, we compared the result of ferro magnetic and anti feromgnetic ordering and we found that the Fermi energy, total energy and the Tc is higher for anti ferromagnetic ordering calculations. The result shows that the lowest occupied state is in ant ferromagnetic order, in agreement with already published.

Environmental radiation study forms a major aspect of radiation monitoring all over the world and Gamma radiation is the prime concern for radiation protection. Measurements of gamma radiation level were made using RADEYE PRD at selected Asbestos ceiling and non-asbestos (Gypsum) ceiling rooms in Block B and C of the Boys’ Hostels and New Faculty of Art Building respectively. Annual dose rate from each selected location was then estimated and the results show that gamma radiations from rooms with asbestos ceilings are generally higher than those from rooms with non-asbestos ceilings. The higher radiation around the asbestos ceiling is attributed to likely presence of primordial radionuclides of elements like 238 U, 232 Th and 40 K in the soil where the asbestos was mined. The highest annual effective dose rate due to gamma radiation in rooms with asbestos ceilings is estimated to be 0.91 mSv per year. This is considered to be very low and insignificant to cause any serious radiological problem to the students living in the Hostel. However, the only possible health risks from asbestos ceilings rooms might be due to the toxicity of the chemical constituents of asbestos rather than radiological risks from natural gamma radiation. The outcome of this research can be used in the compilation of background radiation map and radioelement mapping of Maiduguri which will be an integral part of the national background radiation and radioelement mapping of Nigeria.

Our Earth is immersed into an "ocean" of free energetic electrons from the last layer in the atmosphere of the Sun called corona which is located above its other two layers: the cromosphere and the ionosphere. When electrons are aroused from their atoms striking the mentioned ocean of coronal electrons, then radio waves are created. Therefore light does not travel through vacuum contradicting the statement of two great figures: Maxwell and Einstein. Also, we must re-consider what is known as electromagnetic wave when we speak about light, as magnetic field surrounds only the passage of an electric current, where circles of electrons are created in the coronal ocean as circles of water are created around the passage of a stone thrown in a lake, but such magnetic field does not extend to radio waves.

A major drawback to photovoltaic system is the fact that solar cells become useless at night. In the quest to overcome this, use of batteries, converters, backup generator and addition of extra panels at higher cost to PV grid have been proposed but the performance of the system with integration of the said components is still very much dependent how much solar energy directly reach the solar cell surface. A feasible approach to achieve this is solar tracking. In this study, performance evaluation of a constructed dual axis solar tracker integrated PV system was carried out for five weeks and compared with that of a flat fixed PV system installed at Ogbomoso, Nigeria (8° 08’ N, 4° 16’ E). It was discovered that the power and performance of dual axis system obtained averagely was 62.91 W compared to that of flat fixed PV System which was 47.88 W thereby improving the power output by 31.4%.
