Assessment of Radiofrequency Radiation Distribution around Mobile Base Stations in Makurdi, Benue State
Iortile, J.T.; Agba, E.H. - In: International Journal of Natural Sciences Research 2 (2014) 1, pp. 1-4
The radiofrequency field levels of selected MTN and ZAIN base stations in Makurdi were measured using electromagnetic field tester (EMF 827, Lutron). Measurements were done at distances of approximately 5.00, 10.00, 15.00 and 20.00 metres for each base station at the North, South, West, and East...

Combustion, performance and emission characteristics of direct injection diesel engine fueled by Jatropha hydrogen peroxide emulsion
Nguyen, Kim-Bao; Dan, Tomohisa; Asano, Ichiro - In: Energy 74 (2014) C, pp. 301-308
Recently, Jatropha, a fast growing tropical plant, has caught the attention of researchers because the oil produced from Jatropha is a non-edible. However, worse emissions, when using raw Jatropha oil in diesel engines, have been reported in the literature due to its higher viscosity and lower...
