| Title | : | The Impact of Four Forces in Our Daily Life and the Approach of Uniting Them |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Mu'ALLIM YAKUBU |
ABSTRACT: This review is the impact of four forces in our daily life (gravity, electromagnetic, weak and strong force) and the approach of uniting them. It was shown that all the forces of nature are identical when the Universe was young. They are not different rather than the vibrating of the tiny string which split and give four forces and the kaluza Klein approach of uniting (Einstein and Maxwell Field) i.e. gravity and electromagnetic waves at fifth dimension.

| Title | : | An Assessment of the Concentration of Heavy Metals in Surface Water within Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Robert Etim Ekpenyong |
ABSTRACT: In this study, data on the concentration of heavy metals in surface water were extracted from existing Environmental Impact Assessment [EIA] reports and used for the assessment. Analyses of the datasets revealed that, the quality of some of the surface water have been degraded by excessive amounts of heavy metals. This is a threat to riverine ecology, food and water security. The paper concludes that because EIA studies and reports are usually based on standardized procedures and Methodologies and are usually carried out by experts/consultants in relevant fields as recommended by regulatory agencies and/or required by legislation and paid for by proponents/owners of projects, it is a cheap, cost-effective and reliable source of data for environmental monitoring and management.

| Title | : | Electrical and dielectric properties of Se100-xInx Chalcogenide glasses |
| Country | : | Egypt |
| Authors | : | M. M. El-zaidia || M. H. Wasfy |
ABSTRACT: Glasses of the system Se100-xInx (where x= 0, 6, 16, 21 at %) were prepared by the usual melt quenching technique. The amorphous nature of this system was identified using x-ray diffraction. The a.c conductivity (๐) ๐๐๐กโ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ก๐๐ has been investigated in the frequency range 200 Hz โ 10 kHz, and in the temperature range 292 โ 374 K. The temperature dependence of ( ๐) for all tested values of x was reasonable and interpreted using correlated hopping model(CHM). The density of states N (E) was calculated and found to be 1027 m-3. Using Austin and Mott model. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss decrease as the frequency increases at constant temperature. On the other hand the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss were increased as the temperature increased at a constant frequency.
