Vertical components of the ground magnetic study of Ijebu-jesa, Southwestern Nigeria
Kayode John Stephen
The ground magnetic study of Ijebu-jesa town in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State,Southwestern Nigeria was carried out. The actual position of Iwaraja Fault in eastern part of Ilesa schistbelt Southwestern Nigeria has been a major concern to the geoscientists in the area, as presently noserious work has been published to unveil the real position of this major fault. This therefore, nec...
Ground Magnetic Data Interpretation of Ijebu-Jesa Area, Southwestern Nigeria, Using Total Component
J.S. Kayode and A.O. Adelusi
The ground magnetic studies of Ijebu-jesa town in Oriade local government area of Osun State Southwestern Nigeria were carried out to study the subsurface geology of the area. The Total Component Magnetic Intensities data was interpreted. The qualitative interpretation of the ground magnetic data showed varying magnetic intensities over the different rock types in this area from the approximati...
Horizontal derivatives of the ground magnetic Interpretation in part of Ilesa area, Southwestern Nigeria.
J.S. Kayode, A.O. Adelusi and P. K. Nyabeze
A horizontal component of ground magnetic intensity was recorded for part of Ilesa town in Osun State; Southwestern Nigeria using a high resolution proton precision geometric magnetometer. Fifteen traverses were established in E-W direction within the study area. The study focused on delineation of geological structures such as rock contacts; rock boundaries, fractures and faulted zones. The fi...
Investigation of extremely low frequency (ELF) hot spots in the College of Science and Technology, Covenant University, Ota
Dr. Marvel Akinyemi, John S. Kayode and Dr. Mojisola Usikalu
Abstract
The presence of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) from electronic devices such as personal computers, laboratory equipment and television sets in selected laboratories and offices at the College of Science and Technology Building, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria was characterized using an ELF Detection Meter. The study revealed that exposure to ELF fields could be controlled to the mini...
On the Geoeffectiveness Structure of Solar Wind-Magnetosphere Coupling Functions during Intense Storms,
B. Olufemi Adebesin, S. Oluwole Ikubanni, and J. Stephen Kayode
Abstract
The geoeffectiveness of some coupling functions for the Solar Wind-Magnetosphere Interaction had been studied. 58 storms with peak Dst < −100 nT were used. The result showed that the interplanetary magnetic field Bz appeared to be more relevant with the magnetic field B (which agreed with previous results). However, both the V (solar wind flow speed) and Bz factors in the interplaneta...
An investigation into the geomagnetic and ionospheric response during a magnetic activity at high and mid-latitute
ADEBESIN, B.O, IKUBANNI, S.O, OJEDIRAN, J.O and KAYODE J.S.
ABSTRACT
In this work, we have presented a Geomagnetic and Ionospheric response to solar wind activity of the Geomagnetic storm of April 14, 2006. The indicators used in this work; foF2, Dst, Bz and flow speed implies an intense storm in the perturbation of both the Earth’s magnetic field and the peak electron density of the F2 layer, and these perturbation in turn could affect global com...
On the coexistence of ionospheric positive and negative storm phases during January – December, 2000 geomagnetic activities at East Asian Sector
ADEBESIN, B. Olufemi and KAYODE John S.
ABSTRACT
In this paper, the analyses of the peak monthly geomagnetic storms observed between January – December 2000 had been presented. This study is based on data from a network of ionosondes stations located within the East Asian latitudinal sector of 40–65°N. It was found that the effects of ionization depletion at an F2 layer maximum observed at all stations during some of the events a...
Running and Maintaining an ICT-Based Library in a Developing Economy: The Covenant University Experience
NKIKO, Christopher, ILO, Promise and OSAYANDE, Odaro
Information and Communication Technology has revolutionized library and information services delivery across the globe. The paper examines the Covenant University experience as a model to encourage libraries in developing economies that leveraging with international standards and benchmarks as well as best practices is possible. The superiority of ICT-based library over its manual counterpart i...
Security Issues in Academic Libraries: The Way Out
OSAYANDE, Odaro
Security of library materials has bothered librarians from the medieval period to the present. This study examines and evaluates security issues in academic libraries which include: theft of library materials, mutilation or vandalism of library materials, fire outbreak, dealing with disruptive and deviant patrons, etc. The focal point of this study is on the issues of theft and mutilation of li...
