The Role of Potassium Sorbate in Multi-Layer Chitosan-Based on Aspergillus Niger
(2014-12-12)
This paper presents the use of multilayered chitosan films incorporated with antimicrobial agent, potassium sorbate to enhance effective food packaging. In this study, potassium sorbate was incorporated into multilayer ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Transport of Encapsulated Drug Through a Lipid Bilayer
(2014-12-15)
Most anticancer drugs are polar, cytotoxic and have complicated structures which cause difficulty in their penetration through the cell membrane. This presents a serious problem in chemotherapy. Is it possible to use carbon ...
Petroleum Reserves Growth Trend and Pattern: A Case Study of the Niger Delta Basin in Nigeria
(Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), 2014-08-05)
For the purpose of this paper, reserves growth is classified into three main categories: new pool discoveries, reserves revision and reserves extension. For each category, there are distinct factors affecting positive and ...
Simulation-Based Model Thermal Ablation of Prostate Cancer Using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
(2014-12-20)
The use of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the medical treatment of cancer has attracted scientists and engineers with interest in achieving the most financially affordable but yet curative methods of curing ...
Controlled Release of Fungicidal Antimicrobials on Packaged Foods
(2014-12-15)
This paper presents the effect of polymer concentration on the release of fungicidal antimicrobial (AM) agent to prolonging the shelf life of packaged food. This project aimed to produce and test AM films with varying ...
Oxidation of TBC Coated Nickel Based Superalloys and Gamma Titanium Aluminides for Land-Based Engines
(2014-12-12)
Our ability to power modern airplanes and land based engines depends largely on the thrust generated most importantly by aero engines. Over the past 30 years material cost has become an important factor, especially in ...
Model and Development of Non‐Predefined Query In Information Retrieval System
(2014-12-13)
The amount of information available today is extremely large. The increasing need for easier and faster information discovery demands optimal information retrieval techniques. A measure of performance of any ...
Improving the Wear Resistance of Barite Mining Tools
(2014-12-15)
Wearing of mining tools leads to high replacement costs, machine downtime and loss of business opportunities. This work was however, aimed at improving the wear resistance of AISI 1065 and 1070 proeutectoid steels used for ...
Fracture Mechanics Approach for the Maintenance of Offshore Oil and Gas Pipeline
(2014-12-15)
Failure of offshore oil and gas pipelines occurs under certain conditions due to some applied mechanical forces. These conditions constitute a potential
threat to the integrity of in-service life span of the pipelines ...
Prodigiosin Encapsulated Poly Lactide-Co-Glycolide (PLGA)- Coated Stent for Coronary Cardiovascular Interventions
(2014-12-15)
This research focuses on the design of a robust but flexible prodigiosin eluting stent coating for possible coronary cardiovascular implant. When coated with the drug embedded polymer matrix, the stent would be expected ...
