Item 6TH INAUGURAL LECTURE RADIATION RAIN, RUIN BUT REIGN, -MAN IN THE RING(Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, 2024-09-05) Agbalagba,E.OPhysics is a branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. It has several branches. It is declined as the science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe (Einstein's 1926 Britannica essay on space-time). It dwells more in the course of this lecture on Radiation Physics, as it affects and relates to the environment, human health, and radiation protection. The term "radiation" can be defined as the energy that is emitted as electromagnetic waves or particles and travels through the atmosphere or a material medium. Radiation is felt when we work in the field on a sunlit day, or when we stay by the fireside. Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. The word "radiation" arises from the phenomenon of waves radiating (i.e., traveling outward in all directions) from a source. This aspect leads to a system of measurements and physical units that apply to all types of radiation. Radiation is a natural phenomenon of emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic that obeys Pauli's exclusive principle, travels through space or medium, and impacts man and the environment. Radiation is always around us all the time, and as such, man is constantly exposed to it. This exposure has influenced our survival, reproduction, and evolution.Item A Contingent Claim Approach to Bank Valuation(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014) Okedoye, Michael Akindele; Owoloko, Enahoro Alfred; Omoregbe, Nicholas AmienwanIn this paper, the model formulated incorporated stochastic variables such as bank loans and deposits as well as some deterministic variables: cash available, depreciation, capital expenditure, tax and costs, comprising variable costs and fixed costs. This paper assumes that the dynamics of bank loans and deposits at time t follow a geometric Brownian motion, therefore, it satisfies certain stochastic differential equations (SDEs) formulated on some probability space. On the other hand, the growth rate μL(t) in loan at time t, growth rate μD(t) in deposit at time t, and the variable cost η(t) at time t are assumed to be driven by mean-reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. The SDEs of the dynamics of bank loans, growth rate in loans, bank deposits, growth rate in deposits and variable cost arising from the model were solved by means of the ItÔ Lemma. Discrete time approximations of the exact solutions of the SDEs were derived and used in a Monte Carlos simulation software.Item An Assessment of the Contribution of Municipal Solid Waste Dump Sites Fire to Atmospheric Pollution(Scientific Research Publishing(SCIRP), 2014) Rim-Rukeh AkpofureMunicipal solid waste open dump site operation is an important element of waste management in Nigeria, both today and in the future. Dump site fires are common occurrences in the study area. The contribution of municipal solid waste dump site fires to atmospheric pollution in the Niger Delta, Nigeria has been assessed experimentally. Five (5) municipal solid waste dump sites where fire incidence is a frequent and regular occurrence were chosen for the study. At each of the identified municipal solid waste dump site, eight (8) air quality monitoring parameters, suspended particulate matter (SPM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) were determined using a series of hand held air quality monitoring equipment. Results indicate the levels of SPM ranged between 773 and 801 µg/m3 and the levels of CO ranged between 133.7 and 141.6 ppm. The levels of CO2 ranged between 401 ppm and 404.5 ppm while that of NO2 ranged between 21.0 ppm and 27.3 ppm. The levels of SO2 ranged between 27.7 ppm and 37.1 ppm while that of NH3 ranged from 14.7 to 19.5 ppm. The levels of methane in the study area ranged between 2310 ppm and 2771 ppm and within the vicinity of dump site fires H2S concentration ranges from 3.4 to 7.7 ppm. Levels of SPM, CO, CO2, and CH4 within the vicinity of the dump site fires were above regulatory limits. Dump site fires in the study area could threaten the health of anyone especially the dump site workers that are regularly exposed to the thick smoke and can be implicated in climate change debate. There is a need to develop better practices with regard to municipal solid waste open dump site operation and emission control.Item Assessment of Solid Mineral to Soil Radioactivity Contamination Index in selected Mining Sites and their Radiological Risk Indices to the Public(International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry ·, 2021-06-11) Agbalagba,E.O; Chaanda,M.S.; Egarievwe,S.UThis study examined the radioactivity levels of soil samples within selected solid mining sites in Nigeria using high purity germanium (HpGe) detector. Sixty soil samples in all were collected from the ten solid mineral mining sites investigated and six samples were collected as control samples from non-mining environment for analyses. The results of the activity concentration values obtained for 40K, 226Ra and 232Th are 100.22 Bq kg-1, 33.15 Bq kg- 1 and 77.31 Bq kg-1 respectively. The 226Ra and 40K activities were found to be within the United Nation Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) acceptable permissible limit, but the 232 Th mean value was above the permissible limit of 30 Bq kg-1 for the public. In comparison, 40K, 226Ra and 232 Th soil samples 20 mean activity concentrations were higher than the control soil samples values by 48.6%, 43.7% and 62.3% respectively. The results of estimated radiation hazard indices indicate average values of 150.72 Bq kg-1 68.40ηItem Biodegradation Potential of Oil-based Drill Cuttings Encapsulated with Cement in the Soil Environment(Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management (JASEM), 2011-12) Rim-Rukeh AkpofureBiodegradation potential of slabs made from oil-based drill cuttings encapsulated with cement in a soil environment has been experimentally investigated. Results of soil analyses show that physico-chemical and biological characteristics of the soil environment as; pH (5.6 – 3.9), temperature (27.7 – 39.5 oC), redox potential (-114mV – (-80mV), total organic carbon (12.7% - 7.3%), sulphate (0.7 – 0.2mg/l), nitrate (6.7 – 2.2mg/l), moisture content (82-89%) and total microbial count (105 – 1013 cfu/g). Experimental results shows a mass loss of oil base drill cuttings encapsulated with cement slab during the period of the study, indicating approximate linear relationship between mass loss and time. When the log of mass-loss is plotted against time, an approximate linear relationship is obtained confirming a first-order chemical reaction for the biodegradation process. Results of the analyses of the soil sample indicate an environment that has the potential to degrade cement encapsulated oil based drill cuttings.Item Consideration of phthalates distribution in underground water in some selected regions in Delta State, Southern Nigeria(Sciendo, 2020) EDJERE, Oghenekohwiroro; OGWUCHE, Ene Christina; BASSEY, Uwem; RIM-RUKEH, AkpofureThe choice of phthalates as plasticizers have been on the increase especially in household products. They are ubiquitous environmental pollutants due to their physical attribute. This study was carried out to determine the occurrence and level of phthalates in the groundwater in some regions of Delta State. Groundwater samples were collected from fourteen sampling points and analyzed using standard procedures. The obtained results showed that the concentration(µg/l) of six phthalate ester compounds present in the water samples was of the order: < 0.05 - 0.05 BBP, < 0.05 - 3.71BEHP, < 0.05 - 0.54 DBP, < 0.05 - 0.55 DEP, < 0.05 - 0.13 DMP, and < 0.05 - 0.48 DnOP. BEHP was observed to be the major compound of the phthalate acid esters present in most sampling stations, whilst others, especially BBP, were found to be in low concentration and does not pose any immediate threat to human health. The presence of BEHP in most samples from different locations suggests an inflow of the phthalate to underground water, hence it becomes imperative for continuous monitoring and a call to various governments and environmental regulatory agencies to establish standards for phthalate esters in order to monitor its presence in the environment.Item DE-RISKING "SEARCH" FOR THE BLACK GOLD: GEOPHYSICS, ANSWER TO QUESTIONS UNKNOWN(Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, 2024-11-20) OGAGARUE, D.O.E"Black Gold" is another word for petroleum. Petroleum is derived from the words petra (rock in Greek) and oleum (oil in Latin). Hence, petroleum is simply rock oil and is more often called crude oil. The word “crude oil” is, however, limiting because crude oil has some natural gas in it when it is produced. For example, a single barrel of crude oil extracted from the earth may contain enough natural gas that can fill our homes. Therefore, in general terms, petroleum refers to crude oil and natural gas. Perhaps the realization of this fact was the reason for the change of name from the Nigerian National Oil Corporation to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in 1977. Petroleum is often called black gold because when crude oil is extracted from the ground, it is mostly black in colour, and because of the oil and gas in it and due to their value, it is often described as gold.Item Determination and Risk Associated with Phthalic Esters Distribution from the Ekpan River, Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria(European Journal of Environment and Earth Sciences (EJ-GEO), 2022-07-28) Oghenekohwiroro Edjere; Daniel Igiegie; Rim-Rukeh AkpofurePhthalates are additives or plasticizers added to make plastics soft. However, they could leach into the environment and cause harm to human health when contacted. Sites along the Ekpan river have been used for open dumping of refuse. The river also serves as a point source for the disposal of effluents from the Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company Limited (WRPC). Hence, the need for a preliminary study of phthalates across the river system. Surface water samples were collected from six points along the Ekpan river. Phthalates were extracted using USEPA standard method 3535 and EPA method 8061. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) was used for the analysis of six PAEs including di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP or DPX), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (D-n-OP)), Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), and Diethyl phthalate (DEP) in the river system. Analysis of phthalates in the Ekpan river system showed that DEP across the Effurun river system ranged from 4.22 – 13.81 μg/L, DPX; 3.03 – 11.5 μg/L, BBP; 0.11–1.39 μg/L, DEHP; 0.12 – 3.33 μg/L. D-n-OP and DMP were below the limit of detection of the analytical instrument used (0.1 μg/L). The distribution of PAEs along the network of the river revealed that the sampling sites in the urban region were more contaminated with PAEs due to urbanization and an increase in population across the river network. Human health risk assessment revealed that the hazard quotient (HQ) for DEP, DPX, DEHP, and D-i-NP were below 1, indicating an acceptable risk of PAEs via ingestion or bathing of the river water. In addition, the Hazard Index (HI) via ingestion and bathing of the river water was less than 1 indicating acceptable risks. According to this study, these PAEs congeners are safe for toddlers, adolescents, and adults to eat and bathe in tap water. Even DEHP, the only PAEs congener designated as a carcinogenic agent by WHO, was shown to have a tolerable cancer risk. These findings indicate that there is no harm to children, adolescents, and adults from DEHP in the river water studied.Item Effect Of Nonlinear Radiative Heat And Mass Transfer On Mhd Flow Over A Stretching Surface With Variable Conductivity And Viscosity(Journal of the Serbian Society for Computational Mechanics, 2019) Akindele M. Okedoye; Sulyman O. SalawuA theoretical investigation on the flow of nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), laminar, viscous, incompressible boundary layer fluid with thermal radiative heat transfer and variable properties past a stretching plate was carried out. The liquid is taken to be gray, absorbing, emitting but with non-scattering medium. The main nonlinear equations governing the flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity variables and quantities. The obtained nonlinear equations are computationally solved by applying shooting techniques coupled with Nachtsheim-Swigert method for asymptotic satisfaction of boundary conditions by fourth order Runge Kutta scheme. The computational results for momentum and heat distribution are obtained for various values of the emerging parameters. The results for the coefficient of skin friction and dimensionless heat gradient are likewise obtained for different physical parameters values. From the study, it was observed that the parameters which enhanced the heat source terms decreased the fluid viscosity and caused increase in the flow rate. Also, parameter that reduced heat source terms encouraged viscosity which resulted in retardation of the fluid velocity.Item Effects of New Year Eve’s Fireworks on the Ambient Air Quality inWoji Community, Port Harcourt,Nigeria(FUPRE Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research (FJSIR), 2019-06-27) Rim-Rukeh AkpofureGlobally, celebrations of public holidays, religious and traditional festivals, sporting events, political and military victories, and other occasions often include pyrotechnic displays, or fireworks. The effects of fireworks display on the air quality of Woji community, Port Harcourt metropolis during the 2016 New Year Eve celebration has been determined experimentally. Four (4) monitoring sites where firework display is a yearly occurrence were chosen for the study. At each of the identified monitoring site, five (5) air quality monitoring parameters, particulate matter (PM10and PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO)and sulphur dioxide (SO2)were determined using a series of hand held air quality monitoring equipment. Average value of PM10, PM2.5, NO2, CO and SO2was395.98(μg/m3), 311.38(μg/m3), 22.64ppm, 20.23ppm, and 7.32ppm respectively. Levels of measured parameters across all monitoring sites were above regulatory limits. Hourly measured levels of PM10, PM2.5, NO2, CO and SO2across all monitoring stations are higher than on four previous air quality studies. Air quality index (AQI) indicates that the air quality in the study area within the study period can be described as unhealthy for active children, women and adults, and people with respiratory disease such as asthma. The federal, state, and local governments must make use of the findings of this study to protect the Nigeria environment.Item Genetic Algorithm Rule-Based Intrusion Detection System (GAIDS)(Journal of Emerging Trends in Computing and Information Sciences, 2012-08) Ojugo, Arnold Adimabua; Eboka, A.O.; Okonta, O.E.; Yoro, R.E; Aghware, F.O.This study examines the detection of attacks or network intrusion by users referred to as hackers (whose aim is to gain illegal entry as well as access to a network system and resources. Network and data security has become a pertinent issue with the advent of the Internet; though the Internet comes with a lot of merits on its own. Traditional used methods for data security includes the use of passwords, cryptography to mention few. The approach considered here is Intrusion Detection System, which is a software, driver or device used to prevent an unauthorized or illegal access to data in a networked system. Most of the existing IDS are implemented via rule-based systems where new attacks are not detectable. This study thus, presents a genetic algorithm based approach (with its driver implementation), which employs a set of classification rule derived from network audit data and the support-confidence framework, utilized as fitness function to judge the quality of each rule. The software implementation is aimed at improving system security in networked settings allowing for confidentiality, integrity and availability of system resources.Item Impact Of Cassava Processing On The Water Quality Of Selected Tropical Streams In Delta State Southern Nigeria(Journal Of Chemical Society Of Nigeria, 2016) Rim-Rukeh Akpofure; Irerhievwie, GEffects of cassava processing on the water quality of selected tropical streams (Atochi, Inyite and Iyida) in Southern Nigeria have been experimentally studied. The study was carried out on a weekly basis for a period of four months within the rainy season (June-September) in the year 2013. Three sampling stations were established along the river courses (upstream, midstream and downstream of the cassava processing site). Results of physico-chemical analysis of the water samples showed that cassava processing caused a decrease in dissolved oxygen and pH and an increase in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total microbial count (TMC), temperature, phosphates, sulphates and nitrates. Using a water quality index (WQI) in classifying water quality of the streams show that the values of the index are generally greater than 2 at sampling points A (downstream) and C (upstream) across the three streams indicating that the water quality at sampling points A and C in the three water bodies is acceptable. However, at sampling point B (mid stream) across the three water bodies the water quality index ranges between 0.6 and 1.06 indicating that the water quality at sampling point B across the water bodies is poor.Item Investigating The Unexpected Price Plummet and Volatility Rise In Energy Market: A Comparative Study of Machine Learning Approaches(2020) Ojugo, Arnold Adimabua; Otakore, Oghenevwede DebbyEnergy market aims to manage risks associated with prices and volatility of oil asset. It is a capital-intensive market, rippled with chaos and complex interactions among its demand-supply derivatives. Models help users to forecast such interactions and give insight with empirical evidence of price direction to investors. Our study sought to investigate the unexpected plummet in price of the energy market using evolutionary modeling –which seeks to analyze input data and yield an optimal, complete solution that are tractable, robust and low-cost with tolerance of ambiguity, uncertainty and noise. We adopt the Gabillon‟s model to: (a) predict spots/futures prices, (b) investigate why previous predictions failed as to why price plummet, and (c) seek to critically evaluate values reached by both proposed deep learning model and the memetic algorithm by Ojugo and Allenotor (2017).Item Investigation Of The Microbial-Induced Corrosion Potential Of Soils In Southern Ijaw LGA In Niger Delta, Nigeria(Bachudo Sciences Co. Ltd., 2008) PUYATE, Y. T.; RIM-RUKEH, AkpofureInvestigation of sulphate-reducing bacteria induced corrosion potential of soils along 18-inch 45km Tebidaba/Brass underground oil pipeline in Southern Ijaw LGA of Bayelsa State, Nigeria, is carried out experimentally. The analysis involves determination of some physico-chemical parameters of soils in the pipeline route, and testing corrosion products formed on the surfaces of X60 steel coupon buried in the soils for one year. It is shown that the soils are clayey in nature and highly corrosive with high population of sulphate-reducing bacteria (104 – 106 cfu/g). The ranges of other measured properties of the soils (pH (4.8 – 5.2), temperature (17– 21oC), water content (79 – 89 %), organic matter (10.7 – 15.6 % dry wt), redox potential (–79 to –95mV), sulphate (0.8 –13.6mg/l)) favour growth of sulphate-reducing bacteria. Black deposits on the surfaces of the buried coupons are iron sulphide resulting from attack on the metal by sulphate-reducing bacteria in the soils.Item Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion Of S45c Mild Steel In Cassava Mill Effluent(Research Journal in Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2012) Rim-Rukeh AkpofureIn the cassava processing mill S45C mild steel is used as the construction material for the grating. The S45C mild steel exposed to the cassava mill effluent faces possible corrosion action due to the microorganisms. In the present study the role of microorganisms in cassava mill effluent on the corrosion of S45C mild steel has been experimentally investigated. Outcome of this investigation provides opportunities for material selection in the construction of cassava mill. Chemical and biological characterises of cassava mill effluent was also experimentally determined. Corrosion rate has been estimated by weight loss measurements. Results indicate the cassava mill effluent exhibits the necessary qualities of an environment suitable for the promotion and sustenance of microbiologically influenced corrosion. The corrosion rates of S45C mild steel in the cassava mill effluent were 1.37, 1.41, 1.60, 1.85, 1.88 mpy at 10, 20, 30 40 and 50 days respectively. Pseudomonas sp., Streptococcus sp., Micrococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Neisseria sp. and Lactobacillus sp. were identified in cassava mill effluent.Item Oil Spill Management in Nigeria: SWOT Analysis of the Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) Process(Scientific Research Publishing(SCIRP), 2015-03-27) Rim-Rukeh AkpofureThe Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) process of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) have been analysed using the Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) methodology. The oil spill Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) is empowered by the Oil Spill Recovery, Clean-up, Remediation and Damage Assessment Regulations, 2011 Section 5. The strength of the JIV process lies within its participatory nature and the well defined legal structure of the process. The oil spill Joint Investigation Visit process in Nigeria has several weaknesses—lack of independence and oversight, lack of technical competence on the part of regulatory bodies, lack of technical competence on the part of community representative, lack of transparency on the part of oil companies, lack of general procedure for determining the actual cause of spill, lack of general procedure for determining the actual volume of oil spilled, determination on the size of the impacted area and exclusion of women from the JIV Process. The JIV process for oil spill presents a number of opportunities such as; increasing community awareness, growing consciousness through Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and capacity building of stakeholders. Possible threats to the JIV process include; poor governance and corruption, manipulation of the Process by the spiller through the start date of an oil spill and obvious lack of transparency. Improved effectiveness of the JIV process will depend on strengthening of government agency coordination, integrated decision-making adequate training to various stakeholders and supporting infrastructure for purposeful monitoring and enforcement.Item ON THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROMISES AND CHALLENGES FACING E-BUSINESSES IN NIGERIA(International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE): E-Journals, 2012-12) UGBENE, Ifeanyichukwu Jeff; UGWU, Ejike; EZE, Everestus ObinwanneThis paper attempts to address the technological promises and challenges facing e-business in Nigeria. E-business represents a major opportunity for developing nations that can access it effectively and a threat to those that cannot. E-business holds great promise and challenges for Nigeria in ten areas: what is really e-business, potential benefits of the internet in Nigeria, the development context in Nigeria, e-business: towards a conceptual understanding, strategies to encourage the ICT infrastructure in Nigeria, technology requirements and components for e-business in Nigeria, technology services, the challenges faced by Nigerians in the use of e-business, the policy challenge for Nigeria and finally, the impact of information technology upon productivity in Nigeria.Item Optimizing CdZnTeSe Frisch-Grid Nuclear Detector for Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy(IEEE Access, 2020-08-06) AGBALAGBA, Ezekiel O.; EGARIEVWE, Stephen U.; UTPAL, N. Roy; HARRISON, Benicia A, ; GOREE, Carmella A.; SAVAGE, Emmanuel K. ; JAMES, Ralph B.Wide bandgap semiconductor materials capable of detecting X-rays and gamma-rays at room temperature without cryogenic cooling have great advantages that include portability and widearea deployment in nuclear and radiological threat defense. Additional major applications include medical imaging, spectroscopy, and astrophysics. Most current room-temperature ionizing radiation detector devices are fabricated from cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe). Cadmium zinc telluride selenide (CdZnTeSe or CZTS) can be grown with high crystal yield compared to CdTe and CdZnTe. Thus, CZTS has the advantage of lowering the cost of room-temperature nuclear detectors. Thick CdTe based detectors are prone to the trapping of charge carriers, thus limiting energy resolution and efficiency. A Frisch-Grid configuration helps to solve this problem. This research is focused on optimizing the Frisch-grid configuration for a CZTS detector. The CZTS was grown by traveling heater method. Infrared images of the CZTS matrix largely showed the absence of tellurium inclusions. The resistivity of the CZTS obtained from a current-voltage plot is of the order of 1010 .cm. The charge-transport characterized by measuring the electron mobility-lifetime product is 4.7×10−3 cm2/V. Detector resolution was measured for various Frisch-ring widths. For a 4.8 × 4.9 × 9.7 mm3 detector, the best Frisch-ring widths were found to be 3-4 mm. A detector resolution of 1.35% full-width-at-half-maximum was obtained for the 3-mm width at −2300 V bias voltage for the 662-keV gamma peak of 137Cs. A resolution of 1.36% was obtained for the4-mm width at −1800 V applied biasItem ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION Open Access Phytochemical screening, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Acalypha ciliata plant(Springer Open, 2016-06) ODEJA,Oluwakayode; OGWUCHE, Christiana Ene,; ELEMIKE, Elias Emeka; OBI, GraceBackground: Phytochemical screening, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of hexane, ethylacetate and methanol crude extracts of Acalypha ciliata plant was studied in this work. This plant according to folk medicine has been reported to be used for treatment of female sterility, dressing of sores and schistosomiasis. Methods: The preliminary screening of the various extracts was carried out using standard methods and the results revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, reducing sugar, anthraquinones, resins and glycosides. The antimicrobial screening was carried out using the following organisms; Staphylococcus aureus, Eshericha coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruguinosa, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiellae pneumoniae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium notatum and Rhizopus stolonifer. The free radical scavenging capacity using hydrogen peroxide was equally determined to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the extracts. Results: The result obtained showed that Acalypha ciliata extracts have interesting pharmacological active compounds and antimicrobial effects, and as such could be used in ethno medicine for treatment of bacterial infections and ailments. Conclusion: The extracts of Acalypha ciliata plant contains notable chemical compounds that are responsible for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Further investigations on the chemical compositions and possible isolation of active ingredients would be carried outItem PHYSICS AND THE THEORY OF VIBRATION – THE CAUSE OF CREATION AND EXISTENCE(Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, 2024-12-11) Enaibe, A, EPhysics and the theory of vibration are responsible for the creation and existence of the universe. The theory of Vibration studies the biomechanics of vector-borne human infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS. The creation myth is a supernatural mytho-religious explanation that describes the beginnings of the existence of humanity, earth, life, and the universe(cosmogony). A myth is an imaginary or fictitious thing or person, an unproved or false collective belief that is used to justify a social institution. The creation myth, therefore, is the symbolic narrative of the beginning of the world as understood by a particular community.
