About the Cover

The study was carried out to access the level of availability and extent of utilisation of resources as correlates of academic performance of students in Ondo State secondary schools. The research design adopted for this study was the descriptive type; the population for the study consists of 304 public secondary schools in the state. A sample of 400 teachers and 40 public secondary schools were selected, multistage sampling method was used to select the sample. The study focused on the academic performance of students in 2018/2019 academic session. Two instruments was used to select the data, these were an inventory and a questionnaire. The validity of these instruments was ascertained for face and content validity, the reliability of the questionnaire was established using a test re-test method. Mean scores, Percentage scores, t-test and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation method were used to analyse the data, all hypotheses tested were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The major findings of the study revealed that resources provided by government were insufficient and the available ones were old and outdated, there was a positive and significant correlation between resources and academic performance of students.

Structural control of Fe-Mn mineralization in Buya-Taka Lafia and their environs, Northwestern Nigeria

Nnabo PN, Bamigboye OS, Adekeye JID, Adedoyin AD, Owoyemi OO

The schist hosted Fe-Mn mineralization in the southernmost part of Zuru schist belt has not been appraised structurally, this work therefore aimed at evaluating the control of these mineralizations. To achieve this aim, the area was mapped geologically; structural data were taking, processed and interpreted. From the Rosset plots of the joints, fault and foliation plane direction, NW and NE directions were conspicuous. These directions were in line with the observed mineralization directions on the geologic map. From the integration of field mapping observation, it is concluded that the brittle structures control the Fe-Mn mineralization in Kaoje and its environs.

Harmonic Impedances and Resonances in Oil and Gas Field Power Systems with Wind Energy Integration

Ekperi NI

The causes of harmonic resonances in oil and gas production field are presented. The presence of harmonic impedance at point of common coupling (PCC) resulted in the generation of harmonic currents and voltages emanated from nonlinear loads, which has adverse impact on the systems performance
