Structural and Mechanical Properties of Termite Soil as a Partial Replacement to Cement
(2016-03-22)
Materials selection is done regarding to the availability, cost and performance of the candidates. In buildings, cement is the material that is widely used, even though it is releases co2 (estimated about 7% of the worldwide ...
Effect of Sintering Time on Mechanical Properties of Porous Ti-6al-4v Implant
(2016-07-12)
Titanium alloy is popular in biomedical application owing to its low density, good biocompatibility (i.e. biological and chemical inertness) and excellent mechanical properties. Due to the high disparity between the implant ...
Group Mutual Exclusion in Opportunistic Network
(2016-06-23)
The Opportunistic network is an interesting development in the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) environment. It has no end-to-end connectivity among nodes. Unlike MANETs, the nodes in Opportunistic network are independent on ...
Performance of a Nigerian Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer as a Sustainable Building Material
(2017-12-17)
Existing data show that Portland cement material production contributes ~8% to the global CO2 emissions. This is detrimental to the environment and can lead to global warming. It is therefore pertinent to develop alternative ...

(2016-03-15)
Topsoil stripping, drilling and blasting extraction, waste rock dumping, loading, and unloading, crushing and screening, and materials transport are among other activities involved in iron ore mining. These activities ...
Adsorption of Dissolved Ions in Mine Wastewater with Laterite and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
(2016-06-20)
This work studies the adsorption capacity of laterite and iron oxide nanoparticles for dissolved ions in solution and therefore its ability to reduce conductivity of mine waste effluent. Three laterite samples were prepared ...
Effects of Prodigiosin on Breast Cancer Cell Viability
(2016-07-22)
The Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH); also known as a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone can be utilized for targeted therapy with cytotoxic analogs, in which prodigiosin is linked to the [D-Lys6] LHRH. Our studies ...
A Framework for Nation-Wide Integration of Biometric Information
(2017-12-12)
Having a central database for Nigeria which organizations can rely on for identification/verification purposes has been a plan in the pipeline for many years now. This has become urgent because of the nation’s current ...
