ANALYSIS

The golden ratio breaks

Zhen-hua Mei

Based on El Naschie’s relation, it was found that the golden ratio is slightly broken at subatomic scale. That takes significant physical meanings. However it is nothing if its energy was as high as about the magnitude of MeV; there are almost no consequence are caused, otherwise as energy down lowed at or below KeV, the symmetry would break at all.

RESEARCH

Estimation and characterization of aquifer production using Dar-Zarrouk parameter in crystalline basement terrain, southwest, Nigeria

Cyril Chibueze Okpoli, Abel Idowu Olayinka, Michael Adeyinka Oladunjoye

The estimation and characterization of aquifer productivity of thirty six vertical electrical soundings were applied to hydrogeological and geophysical data. The data was acquired, digitized and analysed; which was aimed at characterizing the productivity of the aquifer system using Dar-Zarrouk parameter

REVIEW

Red meat consumption and cardiovascular disease

Neil K Agarwal, Shashi K Agarwal

Several epidemiological and meta-analytical studies have concluded that consumption of red meat and processed meat leads to an increase in several chronic diseases. These include type II diabetes, colorectal cancer, and cardiovascular diseases
