Abstract: It is currently estimated that 347 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes with more than 80% from low and middle income countries. In the past twenty years the global death rate from diabetes has doubled (Lancet). WHO is predicting that this will increase by two thirds by 2030.(WHO). Global Morbidity and Mortality associated with Diabetes:According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Report 2009 it was around four million deaths in the age group of 20-79 years in 2010 accounting for 6.8% globally. IDF in 2006 reported >50 million diabetes people in South East Asia. (IDF 2009) (Indian express, Wed Nov 14 2012)

| Title | : | OverpressureEstimation Using Combined Wireline data and Seismically-Generated Acoustic Impedance with Tectonic Evidences in aNiger Delta field |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Aigba, Paul I. || Nwankwo, Cyril N. || Ekine, Anthony S. |
Abstract: Overpressure issues in prospecting for hydrocarbon arecritical, constituting an all-important input in drilling campaigns for economic and safety purposes. Estimation of overpressure using a combined approach is more reliable. Wireline log data and derived acoustic impedances (AI) of the seismic volume of this field were applied. The Eaton's modified model that converted compressional velocities to Vertical Effective Stresses were used to obtain the subsurface pore pressure (PP). The AI of a Prestack Depth Migration seismic volume was generated as its amplitudeshows some tectonic issues. In well 1,2132.8ms and 2268.6ms correspond to depths of between 2600m and 2800m on the log panel with a pore pressure gradient of 0.67psi/ft. From about 2700ms (above 3400m),

Abstract: The aim of the research is to determine the water balance of Tunggaoen Boa water catchment area in Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The rain falls as an important factor in water balance to supply water for domestic consumptions and farm-agricultural sectors were calculated and recommendations to develop proper water management and conservation to countermeasure water scarcity were proposed. Field survey was done in Tunggaoen Boa water catchment area. Field survey was done to generate data related to population distribution, livestock, and agricultural lands inside the modeled water catchment area. These data was calculated and analyzed to identify the standard of minimum water requirement. The mathematical model was performed to identify waterfall input.........

| Title | : | Slope Stability Evaluation of a Failed Slope in Electric Sub-Station Site at Reckong Pio, Himachal Pradesh, India |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Bagri D.S. || Anbalagan R || Safeer Ali E |
Abstract: The Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (HPPTCL) has constructed two buildings for housing 660kV and 220kV sub-stations close to Reckong Pio town in Himachal Pradesh, India. These buildings were constructed on two terraces constituted of glacial moraine deposits. A major landslide occurred during the rains of 2013 with the scarp face of landslide being located close to the building site. After geotechnical studies, the slope was treated adequately with grouted anchors and other required measures. The paper discusses the stability of the slopes in natural condition as well as after taking into consideration the effects of control measures.

| Title | : | 1-D Assessment of Formation Pressure from Transit Time and Shale Diagenesis of an Onshore Field in Niger Delta |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Aigba, Paul I. || Nwankwo, Cyril N. || Ekine, Anthony S. |
Abstract: Modeling formation pressures as an input by the engineers into drilling programs come in different styles and reliability. Kicks, loss of circulation, blowouts and even loss of lives are some of the major tragedies associated with poor modeling. The use of 1D has proved to be a sufficient tool; however, it has fallen short of modeling inflation in formation pressure alongside other pressures. The integration of 1D and clay diagenesis to infer formation pressure is robust. Gamma ray logs were loaded into the log panel for correlation, normal compaction was generated from sonic log while overburden stress (OBS) was estimated from density log. Transit time from sonic was used in obtaining Vertical Effective Stress (VES) by applying an exponent and deducting VES from the OBS to obtain formation pressure (FP)..........

| Authors | : | L.I. Nwosu || G.O. Emujakporue |
Abstract: Seismic refraction survey was carried out using 12 channel Terraloc Mark 6 seismograph to obtain data in Emohua, River state in the Eastern Niger Delta, Nigeria. This study aimed at determining the thicknesses and velocities of the low velocity layer in four different locations. The velocities and thicknesses were calculated from the critically refracted arrivals using the Time-intercept method of interpretation. The thickness of the low velocity layer in the study area varies from 1.60m to 1.89 with a regional average of 1.98m. Also, the velocity of the weathered layer ranges from 255.55 to 312.00 m/s with an average of 267.56m/s. The sub weathered layer velocity ranges from 346.94 to 368.00m/s with an average of 354.90m/s..........

| Authors | : | Okonkwo A.C || Ezeh C.C || Amoke A.I |
Abstract: The Evaluation of the groundwater potential status in Nkanu-west Local government area of Enugu State has been undertaken. The project area lies within latitudes 060 25I 00IIN to 060 38I 00IIN and Longitudes 0070 13I 00IIE to 0070 24I 00IIE with an area extent of about 489.4sqkm, over two main geological formations. A total of Seventy-Eight Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) were acquired, employing the Schlumberger configuration. Resistivity and thickness of aquiferous layers were obtained from the interpreted VES data. Contour variation maps of Apparent resistivity, depth, traverse resistance, Longitudinal conductance, Electrical conductivity, aquifer transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity were constructed. Computed aquifer transmissivity from VES data, indicates medium to low yield aquifer. The latter was used to evaluate the groundwater potential status. Two groundwater potential were mapped; the moderate and low potential zones. The various contour maps and groundwater potential zone map will serve as a useful guide for groundwater exploration in the study area.

Abstract: Mineralized pegmatiteshave been studied in Iludun area of southwestern Nigeria, with a view to determine the geochemical features that may be related to Ta-Nb mineralization and economic potentials of these pegmatites. A total of eighteen samples comprising whole rock pegmatites and muscovite extracts were analyzed for major, trace and rare earth elements using (ICP-AES) geochemical method which show the pegmatite samples to be generally highly siliceous with SiO2 values ranging from (71.49-97.77%) with an average of 86.43% in the whole rock samples, and it also ranges from (41.88-57.99%) with an average of 48.70% muscovite extracts, while Al2O3 content is as high as 27.27% in the muscovite extracts and 6.86% in the whole rock samples depicting the complexity of the pegmatite rock. Most of these pegmatites are mineralized while few are barren.

| Country | : | USA. |
| Authors | : | Eric M. Baer || Mushtak T. Jabbar |
Abstract: This research integrated selected soil degradation indicators (physical, chemical, and biological degradation) with geo-information techniques (RS, GIS and GPS) to assess the severity of soil degradation risk in south King County, Washington, USA. Landsat TM images from July 1988 and a Landsat ETM+ image of July 2014, were used to produce land use/cover maps of the study area based on the maximum likelihood classification method. These maps were then used to generate the land use, land cover change, vegetation change, and land degradation maps for the study area. Results showed that, assuming a 10% risk, this impact has increased by 20.1, 17.7, and 4.7% for medium, high and very high soil degradation risk on the study areas respectively. The map of degradation risk is a valuable resource for planners to minimize soil degradation problems caused by future and ongoing development projects in the study area.
