Determination of Heavy Metals in Young, Matured and Aged Leaves of Moringa setenopetala Tree Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy in South Ethiopia

Yeshanew Fikre Ololo & Kusse Gudishe Goroya · Physical Science International Journal · 2019

This study was aimed at concentration determination of some heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn and Cr) in Moringa stenopetala tree leaves at three growing stages (young, matured and aged). Determination was made on samples collected from Southern part of Ethiopia using flame atomic abs...

Spatial and Seasonal Variation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Ambient Air of an Open Dumpsite, Benin City, Southern Nigeria

J. M. Okuo & A. Ighodaro · Physical Science International Journal · 2019

Volatile organic compounds in municipal solid waste dumpsites are considered as one of the major issues in recent years. Open burning is also very common, which emits volatile organic compounds and pose a serious threat to the associated environment. Air samples were collected by...

Chirped Gaussian Pulse Excitation of a Harmonic Oscillator

R. A. Alharbey, H. Gasim, F. N. M. Al-Showaikh & S. S. Hassan · Physical Science International Journal · 2019

We investigate the basic problem of the interaction of a single quantised mode of the radiation field, modelled as quantised harmonic oscillator (HO) with a laser pulse of chirped Gaussian line-shape. The average photon number and the transient emitted spectrum are calculated ana...

A Semi-Qualitative Safety Assessment of the Central Radioactive Waste Management Facility in Tanzania Using Analytical Hierarchical Process

Vitus A. Balobegwa & Leonid L. Nkuba · Physical Science International Journal · 2018

This study identified normal and abnormal conditions, features, events and processes (FEPs) those potentially influence the integrity and safety of the facility that might originate outside or inside the facility. Four hazards, namely terrorist activity, fire outbreak, floods and...

Determination of Energy Levels of a Quantum Bouncing Ball with the Numerical Support of Maple Computer Program

E. Omugbe · Physical Science International Journal · 2018

The dynamics of the quantum bouncing ball under the influence of gravity has been studied. The Fourier transform techniques was first used to derive the wave function (Airy function) of the time-independent Schrodinger wave equation for a linear potential in the form of the well-...

Determination of Reverberation Time and Sound Pressure Level of Selected Lecture Halls in University of Agriculture, Makurdi-Benue State, Nigeria

A. A. McAsule, A. N. Amah, I. Ahemen & F. N. Gesa · Physical Science International Journal · 2018

Aim: Designing a lecture hall acoustics is a prestigious task which demands high accuracy of acoustical measures such as Reverberation time (T), Sound pressure levels (SPL) among other numerous parameters. In Nigeria however, little is considered about the acoustical environment...
