Abstract The renewed quest to boost Nigeria’s dwindling reserves through aggressive search for oil and gas deposits in Cretaceous sedimentary basins has re-ignited the need re-evaluate hydrocarbon potentials of Dahomey Basin. Aeromagnetic data are a low-cost geophysical tool deployed mapping regional basement structures determination depths thickness frontier basin exploration. In this study, h...

The classification of mineralized areas into different groups based on mineral grade and prospectivity is a practical problem in the area of optimal risk, time, and cost management of exploration projects. The purpose of this paper was to present a new approach for optimizing the grade classification model of an orebody. That is to say, through hybridizing machine learning with a metaheuristic ...

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease in which genetic determinants are modulated by hormonal, environmental and nutritional factors. An important clinical risk factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis is the presence of genetics polymorphism in/around susceptibility genes/regions. This study explored whether the region of 4q22.1, which confers risk of developing osteoporosis in some popul...

Carbon mineralization and storage in basaltic rock sequences is a developing technology but faces challenges with uptake increases scale. Northern Ireland (UK) useful analog for many parts of the world where thick basalt could be used to aid reaching carbon reduction removal targets. Here I reanalyze reinterpret available lithological, geochemical, geophysical data assess potential. The physica...

This report describes the preliminary re.wlts of surficial geological mapping during the 1992 field season in the Chilanko Forks (93Cil) and Chezacut 193CiX) map areas (Figure 4. IO-1 ). As part of the Canad;~ f3ritish Cofumhia Mineral Developme~~t Agreement, the British Columbia Geological Survey Rranch proposed to map the surlicial geology of these weiis to deriw drift exploration potential m...
