    (International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology, 2025-05) Ewumi Taofik Olubunmi; Ogunseye Taofik Titus; Bello Adekunle Kazeem; Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde; Adeleke Kehinde Hussein
    Electrical resistivity surveying using Wenner and Schlumberger electrode arrays was carried out for the assessment of groundwater potential at the Central Mosque, University of Ibadan. Nigeria. Three Constant Spacing Traverses (CST) and ten Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) stations were conducted at the study area. The geoelectrical imaging from this study revealed that the lithologies consist of lateritic topsoil, sandy clay/clayey sand/clay/weathered rock and the bedrock (fractured and fresh). The fractured and weathered basement with relatively lower resistivity is inferred to be the aquiferous zone and could bear productive water for groundwater supply. The results revealed the study area to be a region of relatively high groundwater potential. It was inferred that VES 1, 2, and 8 are regions associated with high groundwater yield

    CONSTRUCTION OF A LOW-POWER RATING FM TRANSMITTER RADIO WITH AUDIO CONSOLE FOR COMMUNITY BROADCAST AND SECURITY ALERT
    (IEEE, 2023) Ajani Adegbenro Sunday; Ogunbode Olusoji Amos; Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde; Odeyemi Charity Segun
    The security challenges experienced in different communities of Nigeria require initiatives from every stakeholder, hence the development of this miniaturized FM transmission console for information dissemination within a localized community. The early transmitter for radio broadcasting was so bulky and laborious that they occupied large space and heavy circuitry. The circuits were mainly designed with valves and other active components, which are responsible for the large size. With the advent of semiconductor materials such as transistors and integrated circuits, electronic equipments are now becoming miniaturized such that small transmitters are now becoming handy and compact. In line with this, a complete radio broadcasting equipment that is compact and locally designed is constructed in this research. The system units are of two categories namely: the audio console for processing voice with music mixer and the transmitter unit where the center frequency is generated. This project is aimed at serving community such as Estates or villages for broadcasting urgent information using a small radio broadcasting FM transmitting at 107.0 MHz with a power rating of 1 watt and covers a distance of 1 kilometer irrespective of directivity. The output audio signal was tested for different hours of the day and production was received with noticeable voice output. The radio broadcasting transmitter can also be used to disseminate information within large industries, hospitals and universities. The constructed device is recommended for security alerts in areas where security challenges are currently taking place in the Nigeria.

    (IJTRS, 2020) Olusoji Amos Ogunbode; Ajani Adegbenro Sunday; Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde; Adeniji Muyideen Olalekan
    This paper demonstrated the design, construction and performance evaluation of automated eggs incubator for poultry farmers. The aim of this research was to produce a low cost user friendly modern incubator to increase the production of day old chicks for small and medium scale poultry farmers. The incubator has the hatching capacity of 100 eggs. Factors that were considered during the performance evaluation of the incubator were humidity, 55% and temperature, 37° C during the first 18 days and were maintained at 37.5 °C till hatching. Turning of eggs was achieved with the use of tilting trays mechanism controlled by a programmed electric motor. The trays were lifted through an angle of 40° either side of horizontal at every hour and lasted for four minutes. 100 fresh, healthy, well developed and matured eggs were used to test the incubator. The result of the test revealed the following average values- fertile eggs 95, infertile eggs 5, hatched eggs 85 and hatchability of 89.47% was achieved.

    Influence of heavy metals on thermal conductivity of clay as a building material
    (Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group., 2019-10) Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde; Adegoke James Adeyemo
    Thermal conductivity of contaminated clay is an emerging field of interest in building construction. This study investigated the influence of some heavy metals on thermal conductivity of clay. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of heavy metal in clay for energy-efficient in building constructions. The clay sample was collected from clay deposit and prepared. The samples were mixed (contaminated) with nitrates of Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni and Cu at different concentrations and slabs then were formed. The thermal con ductivity of clay slabs were measured to determine the suitability of con taminated clay as building material for heat emitting modern equipment room. The thermal conductivity of clay slabs contaminated with nitrate of Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni and Cu ranged 0.06–0.15 Wm−1 K−1 ; 0.06–0.18 Wm−1 K−1 ; 0.06–0.22 Wm−1 K−1 ; 0.06–0.19 Wm−1 K−1 and 0.06–0.38 Wm−1 K−1 , respectively. Results showed that thermal conductivity of clay increases with increase in the concentration of heavy metal absorbed by the clay to an optimum level. Hence, heavy metals influenced the thermal properties of clay building material.

    Lead Adsorption in Clay and Its Application
    (EJGE, 2012) Adegoke James Adeyemo; Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde
    This work presents the adsorption capacities of some heavy metals in clay soil and its application in medical field. Nitrate of lead solution of different concentrations were prepared (400ppm, 800ppm… 6400ppm). Each concentration of lead nitrate solutions was mixed with a known volume of clay. Slabs of regular dimensions were formed from the residue after it had gone through filtration. Each slab (dried) was irradiated with x-ray radiation at different energies; 40kev, 60kev, 80kev,100kev and 120kev. Linear and mass attenuation of each slab were determined. We did this in order to check shielding ability of the adsorption capacities of heavy metals in clay soil. The research works on clay soil used mainly in building construction and pot making. A PTM UNIDOS electrometer at National Institute of Radiation Protection Research (NIRPR), University of Ibadan, was used to record the counting .A Graph of logarithm of incident intensity versus logarithm of transmitted intensity was plotted to calculate mass attenuation of the slabs at different concentrations. An Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) was used in analyzing the concentration of heavy metals present in each sample. The results obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) show that attenuation coefficient decreases as the radiation energy increases. The linear correlation coefficient between the concentration of heavy metals and attenuation coefficient was approximately

    Proposed Non Invasive Detection of Malaria by Spectral Analysis of Light of Varied Wavelengths through the Blood
    (American Research Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 2022-01) Ajani Adegbenro Sunday; Ogunbode Olusoji Amos; Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde; Oyero Olaoluwa Peter; Adewumi Adebayo Segun; Ajani Oluwatayo Sandra; Galadima Abdullahi Nasir; Yirenkyi Paulina Funmi
    Malaria is a significant public health problem in many parts of the world. Accurate diagnosis and control currently relies on the invasive detection of parasitemias in the blood samples. This technique is invasive, increases risk of blood-borne disease transmission, and is uncomfortable for the patient. This research summarizes the diagnostic techniques that have been used to detect malaria in blood samples and their limitations. It is important to understand that noninvasive testing of malaria can provide adequate check and control high malaria rate by promoting early detection and treatment from mild to moderate to serve cases and noninvasive detection will never be achieved without good calibration approach. At this point, we are far away from reaching the aim of noninvasive detection of malaria through blood in the body, with many technical problems yet to be resolved. This research provides information that may be useful for future development of highly efficient non-invasive malaria detection methods.

    Structure and mineralization potential of the southwestern part of Sokoto Basin in Nigeria
    (Frontiers in earth science, 2025-05) Magawata Usman Zayyanu; Olasunkanmi Nurudeen Kolawole; Egbeyale Godwin Babatunde; Saleh A
    This study investigates the lithological boundaries, structural features, and mineralization potential in the southwestern part of the Sokoto Basin, Nigeria, using an integrated approach involving high-resolution aeromagnetic, radiometric, and Landsat 8 multispectral data. The aeromagnetic data were enhanced using tilt derivative, analytical signal, and first vertical derivative filters to delineate subsurface lithological units and structural trends. Depth to-source estimations were carried out using Euler deconvolution and Source Parameter Imaging (SPI), while radiometric data were analyzed to map potassium concentrations indicative of hydrothermal alteration zones. Landsat 8 imagery supported lithological and structural mapping through band ratios and false-color composites. The results revealed three major magnetic zones, high (53.3–120.2 nT), intermediate (27.0–53.2 nT), and low (-50.8–22.3 nT) corresponding to different rock units. Depth models highlighted complex basement topography with favorable zones for subsurface mineralization. Structural interpretation identified faults and NE-SE trending fractures that control fluid flow. Potassium anomaly zones were associated with metamorphosed rocks such as amphibolites and quartz mica schists, indicating gold-related hydrothermal alteration aligned with major structural features. The integration of geophysical and remote sensing methods provides a more detailed and spatially extensive understanding of the subsurface geology compared to traditional field-based mapping, offering valuable insights for future mineral exploration and a refined geological interpretation of the Sokoto Basin.
