ABSTRACT Integrated aerogeophysical datasets (aeromagnetic and airborne radiometric) were used for the litho-structural and depth characterisation and to assess the environmental radiation risks in part of Igarra, southwestern Nigeria. The total magnetic intensity (TMI) reduced to the magnetic equator gridded data were enhanced using first vertical derivative, analytic signal, tilt derivative, and spectral and Euler deconvolution analyses to improve and enhance the subsurface rocks’ textura...

ABSTRACT Aeromagnetic data over Abakaliki area of the lower Benue trough of Nigeria was interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively using Oasis montaj software (version: 6.4.2 H.J).The interpretation unveiled basic intrusive bodies like dyke, lacolyte and batholyte in the study area. It also showed fault zone which trends North East to south western (NE-SW) part of the study area. Quantitative interpretation of the area was carried out by source parameter imaging and forward and inverse mo...
ABSTRACT In a world of digital technology, maintaining the security of the secret data has become a great challenge. One way to achieve this is to encrypt the message before it is sent. But encryption draws the attention of third parties, which may cause the third party to seek to break the encryption and to detect the original message. Another way is steganography, steganography is the art and science of writing hidden Messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended ...
