Abstract: We know that earthquake as a natural disaster creating large-scale destruction in many countries of the world to both mankind and property. One can save his life and property by knowing how to protect from an earthquake and to reduce the risk of destruction. A good knowledge imparting to younger generations about the occurrence of earthquakes raises its consciousness among citizens in the society too. In this study, the knowledge levels of the students studying diploma (Technical) in an engineering college in Andhra Pradesh, India was examined about an earthquake, reasons for the earthquake, do's and don'ts during earthquake etc. In this study, a descriptive quaternary method was adopted............

Abstract: The study area is part of the Hawal Basement Complex, Nigeria's northeast exposure of Precambrian rocks. It is located between longitude 12030ꞌE to 12040ꞌE and latitude 9045ꞌN and 9049ꞌ26.4"N covering an area of about 171 km2. The research work was carried out with the aim of identifying possible sub-volcanic basic rocks in the area and to see the possibility of occurrence of economic mineral deposits in the study area. The magnetic survey was carried out using the G-856 proton precession magnetometer, which measures the magnetic field of the earth. The data was processed and interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively. From the results obtained, the area is characterized by high and low amplitude anomalies............

Abstract: Recently, there has been increased interest in the use of seismic refraction survey for the exploration of hydrogeological reservoirs. The aim of this study is to identify groundwater potential by means of seismic refraction profiles. Seismic refraction survey was carried out using 12 channel Oyo McSeis seismograph to obtain data in Secha, Arba Minch, Ethiopia. The seismic velocities distribution analysis indicated that, there are three different subsurface lithological zones ranging between (155 -512 m/s), (814-1437 m/s) and (1561-2400m/s). The depth to the groundwater saturated layers ranging from 36 m and 50 m. Gradual increase of seismic velocity indicate changes of lithological layers with vertical depth............

Abstract: Aeromagnetic data over Wase and its adjoining areas were obtained and analysed for assessing the mineral potential of the area. This study is situated in northern Nigeria Basement Complex The area includes parts of Bauchi and Plateau states. These parts include: Maijuju, Tafawa Balwa ,Wase , and Pankshin covered by four . The study area covers an estimated area of about 18150 Km2 between latitudes 90001 to 100001N and longitudes 90001 to100001E the area has a balance of geographical features as well as climatic conditions. The entire western and northern parts are generally mountainous and rocky. This is as a result of the closeness to the Jos Plateau. The data were analyzed using the second vertical derivatives and analytic signal techniques. Result obtained showed the high density contours of the Second Vertical Derivative were found to correlate with exposed basement intrusion in the area. The analytic signal result highlighted areas of high magnetization contents which could be sites for possible mineralization..

Abstract: Seismic datasets are generally irregularly sampled in inline midpoint, cross-line midpoints, offset and azimuth.This irregular sampling can cause spectral leakage, which can lead to both poor levels of repeatability between 4-D surveys and artifacts in pre-stack imaging. This work is to eliminate or minimize the impact of missing shots and traces, due to cable feathering in marine acquisition and obstacles such as building and other structures around acquisition sites on land and also to harmonize fold and minimise migration artefacts. Irregular samplings can also limit the effectiveness of high-end 3-D demultiple and imaging algorithms such as 3-D SRME.......

Abstract: Outcrops of Mid-Maastrichtian strata belonging to the Ajali Sandstone in the northern Anambra Basin, Northcentral Nigeria were mapped and logged. Samples were studied and used to determine textural and mineralogical characteristics, and paleoccurrent direction, provenance, palaeoenvironment and palaeogeography so as to develop a depositional history for the rocks in the study area. On the basis of the lithologic and sedimentary characteristics, the rocks have been grouped into two facies from bottom to top; cross-bedded sandstone facies and shale facies. On the basis of Grain size analysis, it reveals that the sandstones are white to red friable, coarse-grained, poorly sorted, leptokurtic, positively skewed flaser bedded, planar, and herringbone cross-bedded, but exhibit a fining-upwards sequence. The abundance of the very stable heavy-mineral species (zircon and tourmaline...........

Abstract: The compressibility characteristics of residual soils derived from different crystalline basement rocks underlying Ado-Ekiti metropolis in south-western Nigeria were assessed using one-dimensional loading. Parameters like particle size distribution, relative compaction and hydraulic conductivity were also assessed. Results of tests carried out on the remoulded soils indicate spatial variation in parameters defining the soils' compressibility. Regression analyses indicate that compression index Cc of the soil is moderately affected by initial void ratio e0 with correlation coefficient value of 0.53. Regression plots of coefficient of consolidation Cv against initial void ratio e0 and also against hydraulic conductivity k respectively suggest that compressibility of the soils is due to reduction in initial volume of void and drainage characteristics of the soil under loading. Settlement of the soil is mainly due to deformation.........

Abstract: Electrical resistivity survey was employed for geophysical investigation, aimed at depth of ground water in Creek Town. Vertical Electrical Sounding approach was adopted and Schlumberger configuration employed to aid in estimating the thickness and resistivity of assumed horizontal layers. Abem Terrameter (SAS) 4000 was the equipment used for field survey. The analysis of data and interpretation by Resist Inversion program shows that the water is about 52.2𝑚 deep with a thickness of 46.1𝑚. Drilling at this location is expected to reach a depth of 52.2𝑚 to enable the entire thickness of the layer be penetrated. The thickness of the weathered/ fracture basement beneath the region was found to be considerably large indicating a higher and possible ground water aquifer.

Abstract: Ten Microsatellite loci for Tuta absoluta were developed for twenty- eight samples collected from North-Western part of Nigeria, in the states of Kano, Kastina, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa and Zamfara which were helpful in the study of genetic structure of the affected tomato seeds.The Genomic Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) of tomato seed was isolated using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) method.Tomato seeds were grinded in 600 L of extraction buffer and it was incubated at 650 C for 20 minutes. Agarose gel and electrophoresis were used to determine the quality and integrity of the DNA by size fractionation on 1.0% agarose gels. The result of the study shows that, two of the ten polymorphic micro satellites TG-22 and GTT-6 are generally informative to study genetic structure and equally to estimate the population of the pest in Mairuwa Faskari and Jibia Local Governments of Katsina State alongside Mada and Bungudu Local Governments of Zamfara State. However, the menace were found to be absent in other states under study
