Title | : | Geo-electric Investigation of the Cause of Structural Failure Indices on a Set of Administrative Blocks |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Muslim B. Aminu |
Abstract: Electrical resistivity imaging has been employed to investigate the causes of structural failure related cracks on a set of administrative buildings in southwestern Nigeria. The goals were to determine the distribution of subsurface geologic lithologies beneath the set of buildings and therefrom infer the relative strengths of such lithologies. Data were collected along four geo-electric traverses using the ABEM1000 Terrameter unit. The dipole-dipole array was utilized with an electrode separation of 5 m. Observed field data were processed and inverted using a 2.5D finite-element modeling inversion algorithm. Results indicate that the northeastern half of the site is underlain by unweathered basement rocks overlain by thin (generally < 4 m) soil cover, while the southwestern region is dominated at depths beyond 4 m by low-resistivity water-saturated clays and some weathering tills.

Abstract: This is the declaration to all the human race of the world the earthquake have expended discussion in all about, recent earthquake of Nepal have been seizing the sleep of eye of the peoples, some of the have thought, all are destiny, I most respectfully state that ultimately nothing have to destiny, which have provided by us, that is comeback in format destiny. "Do to others as you would be done by them it was called in prevent the earth have been polluted by modern civilization in every moment, so that's result will come back to us, there is the doubt. Most of the country has been testing about their atomic power in the subterranean zone so we should not to forget that, every reaction has behind an action.

Title | : | Subsurface Models of Abitumen-Rich Area near Ode-Irele, Southwestern Nigeria. |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | G. O. Adeyemi || V. A. Dairo |
Abstract: Subsurface geophysical investigation around Looda village, near Ode-Irele was carried out with the principal objective of evaluating the depth to the bituminous sand and its thickness with a view to suggesting better environmentally compatible exploitation technique.Electrical resistivity survey using the Schlumberger array was employed to generate subsurface models. 13 VES points along three (3) traverses were established in the study area with manual curve matching followed by Computer iteration of the vertical electrical sounding (VES) data. A careful study of the results, together with the knowledge of the Stratigraphy of the area was used to develop the subsurface models

Abstract: City of Hillasuffers from the high shallow groundwater levels which causes serious problems to agricultural and civil construction activities. five different tracks perpendicular to Shatt Al-Hilla channel are selected beside large number of hand dug wells within the area to monitor the relationships among the levels of water between these two water resources during one year,the results of many hydrochemical parameters confirm the similar pattern of inter-relationships between the two water bodies.

Title | : | Seismic Reflection Surveys in Search for Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Deposits |
Country | : | Australia |
Authors | : | Okan Evans Onojasun |
Abstract: Seismic reflection method can delineate very complex geological structures hence it might be very effective for detecting the presence of Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits. Despite this superior attributes, there exist a real problem for exploration beyond the immediate vicinity of a known deposit. All previous studies have focused upon high resolution detection of mineralization and the hosting structures at mine scale. No argument for "regional" exploration have been proposed probably because a cost benefit analysis has never be conducted at such scale to proceed with such exploration venture. In this study, we analyze the feasibility of such regional exploration by modelling a Vulcan IOCGU deposit scenario were a 2D seismic survey with relatively sparse source-receiver geometry was used to detect the presence of a possible intrusive package within 2km depth range.

Title | : | Application of Seismic Reflection Surveys to Detect Massive Sulphide Deposits in Sediments-Hosted Environment |
Country | : | Australia |
Authors | : | Okan Evans Onojasun |
Abstract: Seismic reflection techniques, the most widely used geophysical method for hydrocarbon exploration has the capability to delineate and provide better images of regional structure for exploration of mineral deposits in any geological settings. Previous tests on detection and imaging of massive sulphide ores using seismic reflection techniques have been done mostly in crystalline environments. Application of seismic reflection techniques for imaging sedimentary hosted massive sulphide is relatively new and the few experiments carried out are at local scale (<500m).

Title | : | A new method of assessment and equations on Carbon footprint |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Sameer Sawant || Basavraj Babaleshwar |
Abstract: Carbon footprint or green terminology has become famous over a few decades in many countries including India. Several industrial development schemes and policies are developed and are developing which broadly focuses on green terminology [1, 2]. Although the terms such as carbon footprint, ecological footprint and green terminology are much popular, there exists no standard ideology or a theory accepted so far which would be used worldwide and thereby ends this long lasting debate. This article focuses on a new theory developed in order to minimize the problems, uncertainties and errors related to the previous studies and to attain precise completeness to the assessment with the help of equations which would also lead further research and development in the field.
