    Effects of Emission Characteristics on Elemental Composition of Selected PVC Ceiling Materials
    (American Scientific Publishers : Materials Focus, 2018) Dirisu, J. O.; Oyedepo, S. O.; Fayomi, O. S. I.; Okokpujie, I. P.; Asere, A. A.; Oyekunle, J. A.; Afolalu, S. A.; Abioye, A. A.
    This research work determined the emission characteristics and elemental composition of selected PVC ceiling materials common in Nigerian markets especially during service. This research work determined the emission characteristics and elemental composition of selected PVC ceiling materials common in Nigerian markets. The emission data and elemental structure gave insight to appraise their suitability as ceiling materials. Three PVC ceiling materials were used for this analysis: Nigerian made PVC, layered Composite PVC and white PVC. Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) was performed to obtain the elemental structure of the ceiling materials using Ion Beam Analysis facility. 0.05 kg of the samples were combusted in a controlled fire chamber and the gasses emitted; CO, SO2, NO, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) were identified using four gas analyzers. Elements were detected in total and data collected from the experiment were analyzed. Results showed that Nigerian made PVC has the highest total noxious gas among the three samples with value of 3732.5 ppm while layered composite PVC has the lowest among the PVCs with the value of 1477.5 ppm. The elemental make-ups of the samples influence their emission characteristics. The study established that PVC samples were noxious in terms of their emission characteristics due to the effects of their elemental basis.

    Examining the roles and challenges of human capital influence on 4th industrial revolution
    (AIP Publishing, 2020-12-15) Fayomi, O. S. I.; Akande, I. G.; Esse, Ugwunwa C.; Oladipupo, S.
    Industrialization is an improvement of existing manufacturing processes through invention or the creation of new technologies to make activities easier for human to execute. The fourth industrial revolution has several technical factors that needs to be studied properly to ensure it safety and feasibility, however the inclusion of the human component as the central and main focus in this revolution is rarely mentioned. This overview critically examines roles and challenges encountered by man in the new industrial revolution. The collaboration of human-machine component and their performance was also in this paper.

    Winning research through ideal research laboratory
    (Elsevier, 2019-09-21) Fayomi, O. S. I.; Akande, I.G.; Esse, Ugwunwa C.; Fayomi, G.U.
    Research is evolving due to the availability of plethora of enablers such as technology, information, data, communication, research outcomes and publications. This study is a review on ideal research laboratory in 21st century. The aim is to highlight the features of an ideal research laboratory in the conceptualization of ideal breakthrough research in 21st century. The report examines what research looks like in the 21st century and the things expected in an ideal research laboratory in 21st century. The concept of research was explained, the skills needed in the 21st century were stated, the research development trend was highlighted and the guidelines for the ideal research laboratory which is expected to produce ideal breakthrough results were also be presented.
