Abstract: In this study, Cadmium (Cd) concentrations were measured in soils and food crops (carrot and cabbage) harvested from two separate locations (Dakace, largely an industrial and Jushi, predominantly residential and commercial) in the Kubanni-Galma River Basin of the Zaria metropolitan region, Nigeria. The results obtained showed that soil Cd levels dropped with increasing depth and distance towards the basin's downstream.

Abstract: The global goal to obtain food security is hampered by the most salient yet mostly ignored global food waste and losses. This situation is in total contravention of target 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals 12. The study's general objective was to assess the carbon footprint of food waste in classified star hotels in Nairobi City County. Specifically, the study was designed to determine the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from food waste produced in the classified star hotels.

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of women's education on the probability of using Unsustainable Biomass Cooking Technologies (UBCT) as the household main fuel of cooking instead of clean energy. Combining data from four rounds of Nigeria DHS conducted in 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018, the paper takes advantage of a natural experiment, the implementation of Universal Primary Education policies in 1970 to obtain an exogenous variation in women's education levels. Using an instrumental variable approach to control for the endogeneity of education, we find that one additional year of schooling reduce the probability of using UBCT. This result suggests that, for both policy makers and researchers, improving girls' access to schooling is a major prerequisite for increasing the use of clean energy in the context of the current debate on protecting the environment from climate change.

Abstract: This study investigated the geotechnical properties of tin mine tailings for its potential use, using particle size analysis, oedometer consolidation test, quick undrained triaxial test, compaction test and permeability test. The results showed that tailings from Caha1 and Kantoma1 have higher percentage of coarse than fine grains, lower moisture and optimum moisture content and higher coefficient of permeability. The most well graded materials of the mine tailings is CahaC. KantomaC and CahaC showed higher percentage of fines, high plastic, liquid and shrinkage limit, high plasticity index, high moisture content and optimum moisture content, higher shear strength, and lower coefficient of permeability. However, compression and swelling index of all the tailings are of low plastic clay and have very low swelling potential. Based on degree of plasticity, all the mine tailings in the study area are below the range of 1-5 hence, they are non-plastic material.

Abstract: This paper is based on numerical simulations in order to improve the total oil production of field A123 by using an Alkaline-surfactant and polymer (ASP) injections method. The main objective of this paper is to carry out reservoir simulations job that will further permit to conclude if producing oil and gas in this field will be rentable or not. To achieve this objective, the computer Modelling Group software version 2015.10 (CMG 2015 software) is used to carry out the field numerical simulations. Based on the tests run, one injection well is selected and used as a main injector in order to execute the chemical injection schemes in the field.
