Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the level of natural radioactivity in drinking water (tap water) from Ignatius university staff quarters in order to determine the radiological health risks associated with consumption of such water. Study Design:  This study was purely an experimental work which involves collection of samples and laboratory analysis. Place and Duration of the Study: the study was carried out at Ignatius university staff quarters and some lecture halls within the institution between May 2018 and March 2019. Methodology: Twenty three (23) samples of drinkable water was collected from staff quarters and some lecture halls with 1.5 liters plastic containers which was rinsed thrice before collection. The samples were chemically treated by adding nitric acid and then pre-concentrated further by evaporating to certain levels. The residue were transferred to small cylindrical containers which were sealed and kept for 28 days in order to ensure secular equilibrium between 238u, 232th and their progenies and counted with sodium iodide activated with thallium detector. The results obtained were analyzed using some radiation models for radiological health risks.  Results: The measured activity concentration of natural radionuclides such as 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in drinking water were in the range of 4.14±3.61 to 48.30±3.88 Bql-1, bdl to 188.51±2.69 Bql-1 and bdl to 29.17±3.42 Bql-1 respectively. The mean values of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th are 18.79±4.24, 27.55±5.99 and 17.79 ±2.89 Bql-1 respectively which is higher than their respective recommended safe value. The estimated effective dose for different age groups  ranged from 0.073 to 317.58 mSvy-1 for infants, 0.050 to 78.05 mSvy-1 for children, 0.027 to 237.41 mSvy-1 for teenagers and 0.029 to 51.46 mSvy-1 for adults with mean values of  110.07, 25.92, 68.44 and 12.85 mSvy-1 respectively. The lifetime fatality cancer risk to adult estimated show that, approximately 19 out of 100 may suffer from some form of cancer fatality and 18 out of 1000 may suffer some hereditary effect. Conclusion: The result showed an elevated radioactivity level with its associated health risk. The populace might be at long term health risk if continuous exposure is maintained.

Solar energy has the greatest potential of all the sources of renewable energy, as only a small amount of this form of energy could be used, especially when other sources (coal, oil or gas) in the country have depleted. A solar cell is a solid electrical device that converts solar energy directly to electricity. Hybrid solar cells based on inorganic and organic compounds are a promising renewable energy source. Aims: The aim of this study was to prepare a nanostructured thin film of titanium oxide: doped iron oxide for enhancement of solar cell efficiency. In addition to studying the effect doped on optical properties of titanium oxide nanostructure thin film. Study Design: The spray pyrolysis deposition method used for preparation the nanostructure material. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in the department of physics and department of materials sciences, Al-neelain university, between January 2016 and January 2019. Methodology: Thin films of Titanium Oxide (TiO2) doped Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) have been prepared by chemical spray pyrolysis deposition technique. A laboratory designed glass atomizer was used for spraying the aqueous solution. Which has an output nozzle about 1mm then the film was deposited on preheated cleaned glass substrates at the temperature of 400ºC. we used different concentration to study optical parameters. A 1.5 g TiO2 powder of anatase structure doped with 1.5 g of Fe2O3 was mixed with 2 ml of ethanol and stirred using a magnetic stirrer for 30 minutes to form TiO2 paste to obtain the starting solution for deposition and spray time was 10 s and spray interval 2 min was kept constant. The carrier gas (filtered compressed air) was maintained at a pressure of 105 Nm-2, and distance between nozzle and substrate was about 30 cm ± 1 cm. The thickness of the sample was measured using the weighting method and was found to be around 400 nm. Optical transmittance and absorbance were records in the wavelength range of (200-1100) nm using UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Company Japan). Results: The results obtained showed that the optical band gap decreased from 5.58 eV before doping to (3.9, 3.81, 3.81 and 3.81 eV) after doped for TiO2:Fe2O3 thin films, this result refers to the broadening of secondary levels that product by TiO2: doping to the Fe2O2 thin films. Also, the results showed the variation of refractive index with wavelength for different concentration after doped of TiO2:Fe2O3 films from this figure, it is clear that n decrease with low concentration and increase with high concentration after doped that mean the density is decreased of this films. In addition the extinction coefficient of TiO2:Fe2O3 thin films recorded before doped and with different concentration (1.1, 1.2, 1.5 and 1.6 mol/L) and in the range of (300 – 1200) nm and after doped it observed from that the extinction coefficient, decrease sharply with the increase of wavelength for all prepared films and all the sample after do
在所有可再生能源中,太阳能的潜力最大,因为这种形式的能源只有一小部分可以利用,特别是在该国其他能源(煤、石油或天然气)枯竭的情况下。太阳能电池是一种将太阳能直接转化为电能的固体电子装置。基于无机和有机化合物的混合太阳能电池是一种很有前途的可再生能源。目的:本研究的目的是制备一种纳米结构的氧化钛掺杂氧化铁薄膜,以提高太阳能电池的效率。此外,研究了掺杂对氧化钛纳米结构薄膜光学性能的影响。研究设计:采用喷雾热解沉积法制备纳米结构材料。研究地点和时间:本研究于2016年1月至2019年1月在Al-neelain大学物理系和材料科学系进行。方法:采用化学喷雾热解沉积技术制备了掺杂氧化铁(Fe2O3)的氧化钛(TiO2)薄膜。采用实验室设计的玻璃雾化器对水溶液进行喷雾。它有一个约1mm的输出喷嘴,然后在400℃的温度下将薄膜沉积在预热过的清洁玻璃基板上。我们用不同的浓度来研究光学参数。将1.5 g锐钛矿结构的TiO2粉末掺杂1.5 g Fe2O3,与2 ml乙醇混合,用磁力搅拌器搅拌30分钟形成TiO2糊状,得到沉积起始溶液,喷雾时间为10 s,喷雾间隔2 min恒定。载气(过滤后的压缩空气)保持在105 Nm-2的压力下,喷嘴与基材之间的距离约为30 cm±1 cm。用加权法测量样品的厚度,发现样品的厚度在400 nm左右。用紫外可见分光光度计(日本岛津公司)在(200 ~ 1100)nm波长范围内记录光透过率和吸光度。结果:TiO2:Fe2O3薄膜的光学带隙从掺杂前的5.58 eV减小到掺杂后的3.9、3.81、3.81和3.81 eV,这是TiO2掺杂到Fe2O2薄膜中所产生的二级能级展宽的结果。同时,从图中可以看出,TiO2:Fe2O3薄膜在掺杂不同浓度后,折射率随波长的变化,可以明显看出,掺杂后n随低浓度而减小,随高浓度而增大,这意味着薄膜的密度降低。此外,对掺杂前和不同浓度(1.1、1.2、1.5和1.6 mol/L)的TiO2:Fe2O3薄膜在(300 ~ 1200)nm范围内的消光系数进行了记录,观察到各制备薄膜的消光系数随波长的增加而急剧下降,且各掺杂后样品之间存在干扰,接受退火前样品与其他样品的距离较远。结论:根据所得结果,氧化钛的掺杂提高了TiO2薄膜在DSSC中的效率。同时也证明了喷雾热解沉积法制备TiO2薄膜是成功的。

The spatial variations in groundwater quality in parts of the Yenagoa watershed (YWS) in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria has been investigated using Geographic Information System (GIS). An understanding of the factors responsible for groundwater vulnerability could facilitate the use of geographic information system in the control and management of groundwater quality. This study is due to the fact that the spatial distribution maps of groundwater quality in the YWS obtained by GIS modeling are not documented. The quality of groundwater accounts for the environmental and human health status of the residents in the YWS. Therefore, twenty (20) water samples obtained from shallow boreholes were analyzed for physicochemical properties. The physicochemical parameters such as pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, sulphate, nitrate, sodium, chloride, magnesium, total hardness and iron contents were measured using standard laboratory procedure. Except for the iron content, the results obtained from the physicochemical analyses were within limits of the World Health Organization Standards for drinking water. These results were transformed into spatial distribution maps using GIS modeling and interpretation. The Index Overlay method and Inverse Distance weighted method form component parts of the GIS modeling used in the generation of the spatial distribution maps for each physicochemical parameter. These modeled results were related to the World Health Organization (WHO) Standard for drinking water. The maps generated from GIS modeling indicated zones that were suitable for groundwater extraction as opposed to zones unsuitable for groundwater extraction. In conclusion, 55% of the boreholes in the Yenagoa watershed were affected by high iron content.
利用地理信息系统(GIS)对尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区叶纳戈阿流域部分地区地下水水质的空间变化进行了研究。了解造成地下水脆弱性的因素可以促进地理信息系统在地下水质量控制和管理中的应用。本研究的原因是由于GIS建模得到的YWS地下水水质空间分布图没有文献记录。地下水的质量决定着水源地居民的环境和人体健康状况。因此,从浅孔中获得的20个水样进行了物理化学性质分析。理化参数如pH、电导率、总溶解固形物、硫酸盐、硝酸盐、钠、氯化物、镁、总硬度和铁含量等均采用标准实验室程序测量。除铁含量外,理化分析结果均在世界卫生组织饮用水标准的限制范围内。利用GIS建模和解释将这些结果转化为空间分布图。指数叠加法和逆距离加权法构成了GIS建模的组成部分,用于生成每个物理化学参数的空间分布图。这些模拟结果与世界卫生组织(世卫组织)饮用水标准有关。由GIS建模生成的地图指出了适合抽取地下水的区域,而不是不适合抽取地下水的区域。综上所述,Yenagoa流域55%的钻孔受高铁影响。

The kinetic approach to the reduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetatoferrate(III) complex (hereafter [Fe(III)EDTA]-) by iodide ion has been studied spectrophotometrically in an aqueous acidic medium. The study was carried out under pseudo-first order conditions of an excess of iodide ion concentration at 28 ± 1, ionic strength (I) = 0.43 coulomb2 mol dm-3 (KNO3) and [H+] = 5.0  10-2 mol dm-3. The [Fe(III)EDTA]- complex was reduced according to the reaction; 2[Fe(III)EDTA]- + 2I-  → 2[Fe(II)EDTA]2- + I2 The rate law is - d[Fe(III)EDTA-]/dt = (a + b[H+])[Fe(III)EDTA-][I-] The rate of the reaction is first order in oxidant and reductant concentrations, and displayed positive Brønsted-Debye salt effect. On the basis of catalysis by added cation, Michaelis-Menten plots and the absence of intermediates, the outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism is proposed for the reaction.

In this study, results of the variation of maximum and minimum radio horizon distance derived from the computation of surface refractivity through measurement of temperature, relative humidity and pressureacrosssevenlocations((Akure (7.15°N, 5.12°E), Lagos (6.30°N, 3.20°E), Abuja (7.10°N, 9.25°E), Jos (9.50°N, 8.50°E), Makurdi (7.30°N,8.53°E), Port-Harcourt(4.20°N,7.00°E), and Nsukka (6.90°N,7.67°E)) in Nigeria are presented. Two years (Jan., 2011–Dec., 2012) archived data as provided by Tropospheric Data Acquisition Network (TRODAN) of the Centre for Atmospheric Research Anyigba, Kogi State were utilized for the study. Results showed that the values of surface refractivity (Ns) were low during the dry season months and high during the wet season months and also there was high value of NS at the coastal areas compared with the inland areas. It was also deduced that the mean value of NS for Abuja, Akure, Jos, Lagos, Markurdi, Nsukka and Port-Harcourt is 355, 362, 303, 391, 375, 361 and 399 N-units respectively. Results showed that the Radio Horizon Distance (RDH) values were generally low during the wet season months and high during the dry season months. The variability of radio horizon distance of transmitting antennas is higher in the Northern part of Nigeria than the southern part.

Controlled burning of rice husks at<700°C produced rice husk ash (RHA) which is predominantly amorphous silica (SiO2). RHA was used as a substitute for laterite and cement in proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% of concrete. The concrete was cured for 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days respectively. It was observed that 20% of RHA provides the optimum strength. The effects of different particle sizes of 75, 150, 212, 300, 425 and 600 microns (µm) were tested using a compression test machine. A graph of average strength against particle size indicates 2.9 Nm-2 as the optimum strength at 75 µm and 1.2 Nm-2 as the minimum at 150 µm. From the ash size distribution, the presence of grains of several different sizes was observed. The grains were weighed using a weighing machine and a graph of particle size against percentage plotted to determine the particle size distribution. This showed that rice husk ash (RHA) is coarse grain material.
稻壳在<700°C下控制燃烧产生稻壳灰(RHA),主要是无定形二氧化硅(SiO2)。RHA作为红土和水泥的替代品,分别占混凝土的5%、10%、15%、20%、25%和30%。混凝土固化时间分别为7天、14天、21天、28天。结果表明,20%的RHA可提供最佳强度。采用压缩试验机测试了75、150、212、300、425和600微米(µm)不同粒径的压缩效果。平均强度随粒径变化的曲线图表明,在75µm处,最佳强度为2.9 Nm-2,在150µm处,最小强度为1.2 Nm-2。从灰分粒度分布来看,存在几种不同大小的颗粒。使用称重机对颗粒进行称重,并绘制粒度与百分比的关系图,以确定粒度分布。说明稻壳灰分是一种粗粮原料。

The Li+ co-doped Y2O3: Ho3+/Yb3+ films were prepared with sol-gel method and spin-coating technique. The effects of Li+ on the structure and luminescent properties of the films were investigated. The results show the grain size increased first and then decreased with the increase of Li+ doping concentration. The crystal size of particles composing the film got the maximum value when Li+ concentration took 4 mol%. As Li+ doping concentration increased, the optical transmittance of the Y2O3: Ho3+/Yb3+ film improved at first then reduced and got the maximum at 3 mol%. Excited with a 980-nm laser, there were two green emissions in the up-conversion emission spectra, one centered at 535 nm, the other at 550 nm, which ascribed to the 5F4→5I8 and 5S2→5I8 transitions of Ho3+, respectively. The up-conversion luminescence intensity also increased firstly and then decreased with the Li+ doping concentration increase, and got the highest value at 2 mol%.
采用溶胶-凝胶法和旋涂技术制备了Li+共掺杂Y2O3: Ho3+/Yb3+薄膜。研究了Li+对薄膜结构和发光性能的影响。结果表明:随着Li+掺杂浓度的增加,晶粒尺寸先增大后减小;当Li+浓度为4 mol%时,薄膜颗粒的晶粒尺寸达到最大值。随着Li+掺杂浓度的增加,Y2O3: Ho3+/Yb3+薄膜的透光率先提高后降低,在3 mol%时达到最大值。在980 nm激光激发下,在上转换光谱中有两个绿色发射,一个中心在535 nm,另一个中心在550 nm,分别归因于Ho3+的5F4→5I8和5S2→5I8跃迁。上转换发光强度也随Li+掺杂浓度的增加先增大后减小,在2 mol%时达到最大值。
