Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles for Breast Cancer Targeted Drug Delivery
(2016-12-23)
Although there have been significant efforts in breast cancer treatment over the past many
decades, current therapeutic approaches are limited by non-specific systemic distribution,
inadequate drug concentrations ...
Genetic Units Based Reservoir Characterization using a Normalized Pore Throat Radius for the Clastic System: Niger Delta as Field Case Study
(2016-12-12)
Globally, 30–50% of hydrocarbon volumes in silici-clastic reservoirs are contained within the thin-bedded pay. In the Niger Delta deep water assets, over 30% of in-place volumes are found within the complex turbidites. The ...
Assessment of Beneficiation Process of a Nigerian Barite Source for Utilization as Oil Drilling Mud
(2017-12-12)
The texture and size distribution of various species of gangue minerals affect the beneficiation of barite and lower the specific gravity of barite as-mined. About 9% of the barite used in the oil industry in Nigeria is ...
A Model Driven Engineering Framework for Healthcare Systems Management
(AUST, 2017-12-05)
Traditional mathematical methods such as differential equations formalism have been used for centuries as the main tools for analysis of complex systems in varied areas. As opposed to the general solutions provided by ...
Towards a Unifying Framework for Engineering Devs Distributions Simulation
(AUST, 2017-12-10)
Simulation engineering employs the use of simulation models, simulation environments, and simulation execution platforms in providing applicable Modeling and Simulation (M&S) solutions for studying complex systems. Discrete ...
Structure and Properties of Organic and Inorganic Composites Materials: From Organic Photovoltaic Cells to Aerospace Materials
(AUST, 2017-11-15)
Pressure and contacts in materials and systems play crucial roles in their performance and also their eventual failures. Pressure application closes voids, bridges gaps and improves transport across interfaces. In thin ...
Iterative Algorithms and Existence Theorems for Solutions of Nonlinear Equations in Banach Spaces.
(AUST, 2013-11-05)
Let E be a q-uniformly smooth real Banach space and D be a nonempty, open and convex subset of E. Assume that T : D → CB(D) is a multi valued continuous (with respect to the Hausdorff metric), bounded and pseudo-contractive ...
New Frontiers for Solar Cells and Light Emitting Devices
(AUST, 2017-02-05)
Solar energy, with its abundance and availability, would ultimately replace dwindling fossil fuel reserves in this new era of cleaner and more efficient energy as the world surges on to new technologies and horizons. This ...
Optimization of Infill Wells in Heterogenous Reservoirs Using a Genetic Algorithm
(AUST, 2018-02-02)
Optimal positioning of wells has always been the priority of most reservoir engineers in the face of the dwindling global price of crude oil. As it is always the objective to maximize recoverable reserves over the years, ...
Measurable Set-Valued Functions and Bochner Integrals
(2017-12-12)
In this thesis, several concepts from Topology, Measure Theory, Probability Theory, and Functional analysis were combined in the study of the measurability of set-valued functions and the Bochner integral. We started with ...
