ABSTRACT
Aflatoxins (AFs) are produced by certain fungi found on agricultural crops like maize, peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts. The main aflatoxin producers are Aspergillus parasiticus and A. flavus. The most widely known are Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), Aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), Aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), and Aflatoxin G2 (AFG2). AFB1 is the most toxic and highly carcinogenic of all the AFs, and long-term...
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have emerged as a promising next generation source of green energy due to some desirable properties such as low-cost fabrication, mechanical flexibility, and tunable opto-electronic properties [1]. Despite achieving power conversion efficiencies around 20%, the limited long-term stability of the multi-layer OSCs remains a major challenge for the full...
ASSESSMENT OF BACKGROUND IONIZING RADIATION IN SELECTED DUMPSITE IN CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA.
Abstract
Rapid urbanization in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria has led to the increase in the volume of waste generation. This study investigates background ionizing radiation levels in dumpsite environments within Calabar, Nigeria, utilizing gamma spectrometry and soil analysis...
The study of electron impact ionization of atomic targets is very important because of the wide range of kinematical situations available in the three body final state. Extensive research has been done on this area using different method such DWBA, CCC and ECS but there is a generally lack of agreement between the theoretical and experimental results at low electron impact energies. In this...
