Nano and Micro-Particles for Breast Cancer Detection and Treatment
(2015-03-15)
This dissertation shows the use of material science and engineering approaches in developing solutions to problems in the life science with focus in nano and micro-particles for the detection and treatment of cancer. It ...
Clay Ceramic Materials for Water Filtration: Properties, Processing and Performance
(2016-03-16)
Ceramic water filters are promising household water treatment technology, as they are capable of removing waterborne pathogens and thereby reducing diarrheal disease. Flow rates are the main quality control criterion for ...
Pressure-Assisted Fabrication of Organic Light Emitting Devices
(2015-06-15)
This dissertation presents an overview of the research work with the above caption. This research is divided into five major sections or parts. Part one deals with interfacial adhesion studies of the layers relevant to ...
Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Earth-Based Composites
(2015-11-23)
This study presents the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the strength, fracture toughness and interfacial properties of natural fiber-reinforced earth-based composite materials. The composites, ...
Iterative Algorithms for Single-Valued and Multi-Valued Nonexpansive-Type Mappings in Real Lebesgue Spaces
(2015-07-15)
Algorithms for single-valued and multi-valued nonexpansive-type mappings have continued to attract a lot of attentions because of their remarkable utility and wide applicability in modern mathematics and other reasearch ...
Algorithms for Approximation of Solutions of Equations Involving Nonlinear Monotone-Type and Multi-Valued Mappings
(2015-07-13)
It is well know that many physically significant problems in different areas of re- search can be transformed into an equation of the form Au = 0, (0.0.1)
where A is a nonlinear monotone operator from a real Banach space ...
Pressure Transient Analysis in Anisotropic Composite Reservoirs – A Three Dimensional Semi-Analytical Approach
(2011-12-20)
A composite reservoir is one with multiple lateral compartments; each having distinct rock and fluid properties separated by geologic discontinuities. Geologically, composite reservoirs separated by leaky faults are rife ...
Deepwater Petroleum Exploration and Production in the Gulf of Guinea: Comparative Analysis of Petroleum Fiscal Systems Performance
(2011-12-12)
Petroleum Fiscal System (PFS) is a major determinant of investment decision in the exploration and production of oil and gas in any country. It basically describes the profitability relationship between the host government ...
Implications of Production Decline Patterns, Cost Depreciation Methods and Fiscal Regimes on Offshore Profitability in Nigeria
(2011-12-20)
Upstream petroleum industry remains one of the most prolific industries in terms of technology and risk capital transfer. Consequently, governments all over the world try to formulate political as well as economic structures ...
Development of Breakthrough Time Correlations for Coning in Bottom Water Supported Reservoirs
(2011-12-12)
This research work mainly investigates the development and the behavior of cones (both water and gas cones) in oil reservoirs supported by strong aquifer, and from which analytical correlations are developed for quick ...
