An insulator has a higher resistivity than a semiconductor or conductor and has high dielectric properties. The adjustable dielectric property is characterized by a change in the permittivity of the dielectric under an applied electric field, this phenomenon is called \"dielectric nonlinearity\" (dielectric tunability properties). With these properties, a new phenomenon will arise adjustable dielectric properties in dielectric ceramic materials. The aim of this research is to observe the non-linear dielectric phenomenon in BaTiO3-Bi(Ti1-xMgx)O3 ceramic material with x= 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9. Ceramic materials were synthesized using the sol-gel method which produced nano-sized powders. Impedance data was measured using an impedance analyzer (Solartron SI 1260, Solartron Metrology, West Sussex, UK) in a frequency range of 100 Hz to 500 Hz with an ac measuring voltage of 0.1 V. Dielectric tunability properties were measured from 0oC to 250oC using an automatic component analyzer. at 10 kHz. All samples show the phenomenon of dielectric tunability with different maximum permittivity. The highest permittivity was obtained at x= 0.6 but the highest transition temperature where non-linear phenomena occurred was found in the sample with x= 0.5.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89232936","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}

After testing the validity and reliability, the whole components of the learning device and instrument (prototype) were stated as valid and reliable with minor revision. Thus, revision and correction were done based on the suggestions from the experts and obtained prototype II, and then tested. The testing process was done to produce practical and effective device. In testing process, the device which was produced had already been practical because all aspect in the device component mostly implemented.

The knowledge on the quality of the wood would to a long extent enhance the utilization of the wood. However, little information is provided on the mechanical properties of the wood species and the general belief among most wood users is that it is not a good timber species and that it cannot be utilized for any wood-based products that require strength. Therefore, investigating the mechanical properties of the timber species for better acceptability in the timber market becomes necessary.\u0000Three standing trees of Blighia sapida were purposively felled in the University of Ibadan community, Ibadan, Nigeria. 500 mm billets were gotten from wood dics at the top, middle, and base of the tree and each partitioned into three, the outerrwood, middlewood and the innerwood, in line with specified standard for each selected mechanical property test (Modulus of Elasticity, Modulus of Rupture, Impact bending strength, and Compressive strength parallel to grain) were all evaluated.\u0000Modulus of rupture with mean value 118.47 ± 1.96 N/mm2, ranged from 103.67 ± 3.42 to 144.26 ± 3.68 N/mm2. Modulus of Elasticity with mean value 10649.99 ± 167.51 N/mm2, ranged from 9237.14 ± 399.22 to 12877.35 ± 284.61 N/mm2.

The maximum compressive strength value for Blighia sapida wood revealed that it compared well with other economic tree species that are widely known for various structural applications. Therefore, the general belief among wood users that it is not a good timber species and that it cannot be utilized for any wood-based product that requires strength is far from the truth. It can therefore be concluded that the timber can be used for some building constructions, sheeting and lining, furniture, carpentry, veneer wood production, cabinet work, and so on.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82054199","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}
