The area lies within latitudes 70 44¢N and 70 48¢N and longitudes 4020¢E and 4024¢E in Southwestern part of Nigeria. The study focused on delineation of geological structures like: faults, fractures and possible minerals in the area. GM122 Proton Precession magnetometer was employed and 16 traverses were executed along roads and pathways for ease of labour and adequate coverage at spacing interval of 10 m between station points. Isolation of residuals was carried out to get magnetic residual intensity values that were plotted against station points using Microsoft excel. The quantitative interpretation was done using “half-slope” and “straight-slope” methods, as they are easy to use, fast and cost effective. The range of overburden thickness to the top of magnetized body obtained was between 2.50 and 30.00 metres. Qualitatively, the results obtained were used to delineate inflection points, contacts, fractures and faults by plotting 2-D and 3-D contour maps using Sufer applications. The graphs indicate geological structures, rock types and magnetic characteristics of minerals. The low magnetic values suggest presence of faults and fractures in the area while the high relative intensity values indicate deep structures, which may be due to block faulting. These findings have significant implications for mineral exploration in the region, particularly for identifying structurally controlled deposits. Rock types including banded gneiss and granite gneiss with pegmatite veins and economically valuable minerals such as tantalite, barite, quartz, mica and gravel were found in the area.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"16 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141690826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is embarked upon to identify the concentration of Ca, Fe, Na, C, and organic matter content in termite mounds and adjacent soils to deduce the influence of resistance of termite mount to erosion. Data on the chemical elements and organic matter contents were generated through laboratory tests using heat, and an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer to read the values. The percentage of the chemical elements was calculated as: Instrument Reading multiplied by Extraction Volume 50ml divided by the weight of samples. The percentage of organic matter contents were determined using weight loss on ignition by an oven-dried soil sample. The set of data was analyzed by comparing the difference in magnitude of the chemical concentration and organic matter content in both the samples. The values differ insignificantly by 0.02%, 0.001%, 0.21%, 0.01%, and 0.24% for Ca, C, Fe, Na, and organic matter respectively. From the result, the resistance of termite mound to erosion is not influenced by the chemical concentration and organic matter content, but due to the maintenance of the mound by the termites, tapering end toward the atmosphere, fairly straight with steep slopes, and have dome shape that reduces effects of forceful fall of the raindrop. Further study should be conducted to determine the influence of chemical elements and organic matter on surface erosion for sustainable development of soils.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140415982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach does not put into cognizance randomness which is inherent in disease transmission resulting from differences in immunity levels, contact patterns, hygienic practices and mutation rates among so many other possibilities. In this work, we attempt to demonstrate the impact of uncertainties in the mode of transmission of Lassa fever by subjecting the dynamics to some white noise modeled by the Brownian motion as a Wiener process. An existing deterministic model involving the Susceptible, Exposed, Infected and Recovered (SEIR) individuals was transformed into a stochastic differential equation model by applying the procedure proposed by Allen et al (2008). The resulting system of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE) was solved numerically using the Milstein scheme for SDEs. An algorithm for the method was developed and implemented in Python programming language. Numerical simulations of the model was done using four sets of parameters; , representing the natural birth rate, the natural death rate , the recovering rate from infected to recovered, transmission rate from exposed to infected ,transmission rate from susceptible to exposed are carried out to investigate the transmission dynamic of Lassa fever. The results of the simulations indicate that randomness does affect transmission of Lassa fever. We therefore recommend that factors such as social behavior, hygienic practices, contact patters, mutation rate should be considered while formulating mathematics models of disease transmission.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"2016 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140416191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 40 live fish, purchased weekly from a fisherwoman during early morning hours, from December 2022 to January 2023, contingent on availability, were transported immediately to the laboratory for parasitological examination with the sex noted and the standard length measured. Aliquot from teased internal organs and blood sample collected from caudal circulation of each fish were respectively smeared on clean slides and viewed under the microscope. The parasites detected were identified using an identification key. The study revealed that out of 40 Synodontis schall examined, 4 were infected with an overall prevalence of 10%. Females 3(14.29%) were more infected than males 1(5.26%) (p>0.05). Parasites recorded include Trypanosoma spp, Camallanus spp and Anisakid spp; with Trypanosoma spp. (50%) being the most prevalent. The study result also showed that those with body length range of 9.2cm-14.2cm were infected the most (25%) (p>0.05). Fish samples weighing 55g-105g and those with body length range of 9.2cm-14.2cm had the highest mean intensity.

Descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research question. Findings revealed that librarians in private university libraries in South-West, Nigeria experienced a high level of job satisfaction in overall relationship with fellow workers, carrying support from colleagues, information sharing and team spirit among colleagues. Despite high level of librarians’ job satisfaction; there was low satisfaction in the areas of salary and job security. Therefore, it is recommended that the management of private universities in the study areas improve satisfaction in these low areas. The librarians in the private university libraries in South-West, Nigeria possessed professional competence on the job.
