X-RAY FLOURESCENCE (XRF) ANALYSIS OF ROCK AND SOIL SAMPLES FROM A MAGNETIC INTRUSIVE ROCK IN OBA AKOKO, NIGERIA.
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 9
Abstract
Nigerians had witnessed constant crash in the price of crude oil in the international market in the last couple of years to date. Therefore, Nigerians government is making concerted efforts to diversify Nigerian economy by shifting focus to other sources of mineral resources apart from petroleum. Aside from Ajaokuta iron and steel company, Oba Akoko a town in Ondo State Nigeria, has a magnetic intrusive rock which is likely one of the available mineral resources government is going to consider.

A new variety of local realism explains a Bell test experiment: the Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW) with no hidden variables
In a recent article on the Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW) (see TEW eliminates Wave Particle Duality in JAP, February 2015), the most controversial aspect was the claim that TEW provides a local realistic explanation of...
Length Contraction with Speed Explained as a Relativistic Doppler Effect
In this paper the authors show that the mechanism of length contraction is simple and can be explained by the wave feature of body micro-components. From this point of view, the length contraction with speed perceived by...
