PETROLEUM CONTAMINATION OF SOMBREIRO RIVER IN AKUKU-TORU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA, REVEALED BY CHEMICAL FINGERPRINTING OF ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS

Water samples were collected from the lower Emergency section of Sombreiro River in Akuku Toru local government area (L.G.A.) of Rivers State, Nigeria and analyzed for aliphatic hydrocarbons using gas chromatographyflame ionization detector (GC-FID) after extraction and clean up.GC identified well resolved aliphatic hydrocarbons from C9 to C40 whic

Electromagnetic interference poses enormous challenges for feedback-controlled systems, especially at medium-voltage levels.As power converters are increasingly utilized for medium- and high-voltage applications, optically-based measurement methods must be explored.This paper investigates current measurement via electroluminescence from silicon car

Unlike the animate objects, where participants were consistent in their looking patterns, for inanimates it was difficult to identify both consistent areas of fixations and a consistent order of fixations.Furthermore, in comparison to animate objects, in animates received significantly shorter total looking time, shorter longest looks and Industria

These days, biomimetic and compliant actuators have been made available to the main applications Cocktail Strainers of rehabilitation and assistive robotics.In this context, the interaction control of soft robots, mechatronic surgical instruments and robotic prostheses can be improved through the adoption of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), a c

Incidence of nutritional anemia iron is influenced by multiple factors not just a lackof iron intake, but also influenced by the intake of other nutrients.The prevalenceof anemia is iron nutrition of school children in Indonesia at 26.5% 2.Risk factorsfor anemia influenced food consumption patterns particularly iron.Iron causesnutritional anemia ox
