Methane in Kano-Nigeria atmosphere
ABSTRACT Methane concentrations in Kano municipality have been attributed to the burning of solid and fossil fuels and industrial processes. Using an automatic gas sampling system, methane in the Kano atmosphere was determined. Its distribution in the municipality was skewed towards high frequency of low concentration with a mean and standard deviation of 0.61? 0.39 ?g/m3. Similarly the distri...
متن کاملNumerical probabilistic analysis for slope stability in fractured rock masses using DFN-DEM approach
Due to existence of uncertainties in input geometrical properties of fractures, there is not any unique solution for assessing the stability of slopes in jointed rock masses. Therefore, the necessity of applying probabilistic analysis in these cases is inevitable. In this study a probabilistic analysis procedure together with relevant algorithms are developed using Discrete Fracture Network-Dis...
متن کاملAssessment of respiratory symptoms and lung function among textile workers at Kano Textile Mills, Kano, Nigeria.
BACKGROUND The number of textile industries in Nigeria with large work force is on the rise. There is thus the need to assess medical challenges of its workers, one of which is respiratory ailments. Although much has been written about the subject globally, only few studies have been done in Nigeria. This study aims to address this gap. OBJECTIVE A cross-sectional study was undertaken to dete...
متن کاملPediatric HIV in Kano, Nigeria.
BACKGROUND Pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is still an important public health issue despite a decrease in global, national, and local seroprevalence rates. DESIGN A prospective, hospital-based study was conducted. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred and sixty children presenting for the first time to the hospital were studied. Each child had a detailed physical examina...
متن کاملCross - borehole slug test analysis in a fractured limestone aquifer
This work proposes new semi-analytical solutions for the interpretation of cross-borehole slug tests in fractured media. Our model is an extension of a previous work by Barker (1988) and Butler and Zhan (2004). It includes inertial effects at both test and observation wells and a fractional flow dimension in the aquifer. The model has 5 fitting parameters: flow dimension n, hydraulic conductivi...
