Radiofrequency meter (Electrosmog ED- 155A) was used to measure the EM radiation at 50, 70, 90,110, 130, 150, 170, and 190 m away from mobile base stations. A total of fifteen mobile base stations were randomly selected in Keffi town covering about four network providers (MTN, Globacom, Etisalat, and Airtel), according to their proximity to buildings, number of antennas mounted on their masts, how close they are to other base stations and the population density around them.The result reveal that MBS5 was found to have the highest value of average power density compared to that of the remainder, with a contribution of about 16% (2908.38 µW/m2). The least contribution was recorded in MBS3 with only about 1% (173.71 μW/m2). The other MBS with significant contribution are MBS6 (15%), MBS11 (15%), MBS10 (13%), MBS8 (13%) and MBS13 (11%) with average power densities of 2878.72μW/m2, 2767.28μW/m2, 2385.43 μW/m2, 2382.70 μW/m2, and 1996.36 μW/m2 respectively. The findings reveal that the measured values of power densities across all the sites are well below the RF radiation exposure safety limit set by International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) when compared with the findings in this study. Therefore, RF radiation exposure from mobile base stations in Keffi town may pose no health risk to the people living within the area.","PeriodicalId":8529,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research and Reviews in Physics","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91106884","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 aim of this research is to carry out vertical electrical sounding geophysical survey at study area with a view to determining good aquifers that are good for the accumulation of groundwater. The study area is located between latitude 0820225 m to 0820345 m (UTM) Northings and longitude 717320 m to 717450 m (UTM) Eastings. Schlumberger electrode array was employed for the study using Ohmega Resistivity meter for the data acquisition. The geoelectric survey of the study area comprised of twelve vertical electrical soundings, with maximum current electrode spacing (AB) of 100 m. The modeled curves are mainly KH-type. The geoelectric sections generated from the sounding curves revealed 4 major layers earth models. The topsoil is made up of clay, clayey sand/lateritic sand with resistivity and thicknesses varying from 54.7 – 210.1ohm-m and 0.2 –0.8m respectively. The second layer is the lateritic clay with resistivities and thicknesses varying from 334 – 963ohm-m and 1.5 – 10.8m respectively. The third layer constitutes the clay / sandy fractured quartzite and it serves as the aquifer unit. The resistivity values lie between 71.7 and 498 ohm-m while the thicknesses vary from 2.1 – 76.3 m. The fourth layer is the fractured/presumably fresh basement bedrock with the resistivity varying from 1879 – 13991.8 ohm-m. Areas characterized with fractured basement of low resistivity with appreciable thickness are therefore recommended for the siting of boreholes. It is concluded that the vertical electrical sounding points of the study area are good aquifers for groundwater accumulation.","PeriodicalId":8529,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research and Reviews in Physics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90092904","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 is different to the usual and conventional way of writing capacitance multiplied by voltage to get charge stored in a capacitor. This new deliberation with convolution operation works well for classical capacitors (i.e. ideal loss less capacitors), that is of a constant capacity at all frequencies, and also for a time varying capacity function given by decaying power-law: that gives the formation of a fractional capacitor. In this paper, we use this developed new charge storage expression and apply to various types of inputs excitation voltage-sinusoidal, step, ramp voltage and then analyze and interpret the results for charge stored, the current expressions, the loss-tangent and the memory effects. With this new formulation, we also evaluate impedance function of a classical capacitor as well as a fractional capacitor, and also elaborate on the Nyquist’s diagram, that is employed to study various dielectric materials via impedance spectroscopy. This new approach of charge storage concept is yet to be practically as well as theoretically applied-though some initial work has started. This paper gives a theoretical validity test i.e. analytically obtained in several applications for this new formulation, of charge storage formula. This paper will be useful in various super-capacitor studies, dielectric relaxation experiments, and impedance spectroscopy for various material developments for electrical energy storage missions; however, this concept is yet to be used to its full potential.","PeriodicalId":8529,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research and Reviews in Physics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84772388","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 annual surface refractivity normalised value is 0.91 for Z2/Z1, 0.97 for Z3/Z1, and 0.94 for Z4/Z1 at 2 m while the normalised value of surface refractivity is 1.00 for Z2/Z1, 0.98 for Z3/Z1, and 0.96 for Z4/Z1 at 10 m. At 10 m, the value is relatively constant. The monthly variation shows that surface refractivity reduced as latitude increases in West Africa except in wet months for climatic zone 3 at 2 m and wet months in climatic zone 2 at 10 m. The wet months had a characteristic of reduction in normalised surface refractivity value with most severe reduction within latitudes 10°N and 15°N. This decrease in refractivity across the latitude translates into an increase in the velocity of terrestrial propagation across the latitude, resulting in excessive bending of electromagnetic waves toward the earth's surface, along curves with radii less than the radius of the earth.","PeriodicalId":8529,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research and Reviews in Physics","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76003575","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}

Using the present approach, the influences of various parameters, such as the wall thickness, the decompressed air and the thickness of air space, on the sound transmission loss through are simulated and discussed in detail. It is seen that, due to the wave frequency of mass-air-mass resonance between double-walled glass plates, the sound transmission loss of the plates can be improved at low frequency range. The sound transmission loss tends to increase with decreasing air pressure because the sound is not transmitted through vacuum space. The design method can be used to investigate the effect of various geometric and material parameters on the sound transmission loss. The advantage of the simulation procedure is easily used for designing the layer structures with different parameter to improve the sound insulation effect.","PeriodicalId":8529,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research and Reviews in Physics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76712839","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}
