Random Phase Approximation and neutrino-nucleus cross sections
The Random Phase Approximation theory is used to calculate the total cross
sections of electron neutrinos on C nucleus. The role of the excitation
of the discrete spectrum is discussed. A comparison with electron scattering
and muon capture data is presented. The cross section of electron neutrinos
coming from muon decay at rest is calculated.Comment: 6 pages, 5 eps figures, Presented at the XX Max Born Symposium,

Short-range correlations in finite nuclear systems
Recent results concerning the use of the Correlated Basis Function to
investigate the ground state properties of medium-heavy doubly magic nuclei
with microscopic interactions are presented. The calculations have been done by
considering a Short-Range Correlation between nucleons. The possibility of
identifying effects produced by Short-Range Correlations in electromagnetically
induced phenomena is discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 10 Postscript figures, Contribution to the International

Model calculations of doubly closed shell nuclei in CBF theory III. j-j coupling and isospin dependence
Correlated Basis Function theory and Fermi Hypernetted Chain technique are
extended to study medium-heavy, doubly closed shell nuclei in j-j coupling
scheme, with different single particle wave functions for protons and neutrons
and isospin dependent two-body correlations. Central semirealistic interactions
are used. Ground state energies, one-body densities, distribution functions and
momentum distributions are calculated for 12C, 16O, 40Ca, 48Ca and 208Pb
nuclei. The values of the ground state energies provided by isospin dependent
correlations are lower than those obtained with isospin independent
correlations. In finite nuclear systems, the two--body Euler equations provide
correlation functions variationally more effective than those obtained with the
same technique in infinite nuclear matter.Comment: 29 Latex pages plus 6 Postscript figure
Effect of Dennettia Tripetela (MMIMI) Seed intake on the IOP of Normotensive Emmetropic Nigerian Igbos
Dennetia Tripetala is a well known forest fruit from the family annonacea and spicy indigenous plant and has been found to contain lots ofminerals, vitamins, alkaloids and trace elementswhich are ofmedicinal importance. The study was aimed at investigating the effect of DennetIaTripetala (D. Tripetala) on the intraocular pressure of normotensive emmetropic Igbos of Eastern Nigeria. Forty volunteers (meanage 23.36±3.60yrs) were usedfor the study.The 10P of each subject was measured pre and post ingestion of 0.75g of seed at 30mins interval for 120 minutes.The findings showed peak reduction of IOP after 60mins (11.20mmHg, representing25.64% reduction) of consumption and increased towards baseline (15.6mmhg). Results also showed slight reduction of IOP at the 90mins (12.96mmHg induced value) and 120mins (14.40mmHg induced value) post ingestion.The peakeffect of D. Tripetala was found to be statisticallysignificant (p>0.05). It is recommended that intake of seed be encouraged especially among glaucomatous individuals.
