1. MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE RADIATION LEVELS AT THE TAKE-OFF SITE
Background of study
Radiation refers to any sort of energy that may be transmitted as rays, waves, or a stream of particles. Radiation can be either ionizing or nonionizing. Ionizing radiation is more dangerous than non-ionizing radiation because it causes ionization to...

BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The radiation burden of the environment is constantly being enhanced by ionizing radiations from natural sources and their transfer to flora and faunas have been noted by many researchers...
3. EVALUATION OF GAMMA RADIATION-INDUCED MUTANT LINES OF SESAME (SESAMUM INDICUM L.) FOR GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF SOME DESIRABLE TRAITS
ABSTRACT
The creation, evaluation and selection of mutants with desirable traits have served as source of genetic variability for breeding programmes of many crops. Thus, eleven mutant lines of sesame developed through induced gamma irradiation were evaluated in the M4 generation alongs...
4. RADIATIONS FROM DAPPLING TELECOMMUNICATION MASTS- ASSESSMENT OF RISK PERCEPTION AMONG RESIDENTS WITHIN RANGE OF TELECOMMUNICATION MASTS IN SOUTH-SOUTH NIGERIA
Background to the Study
According to Akintowa et al. (2009), more than 100 years ago, scientists discovered that many elements commonly found on earth occur in different configurations at the most basic (atom) level. These various configurations (called isotopes) have identical chemical...
