Design of Locally Produced Activated Carbon Filter from Agricultural Waste for Water Purification
(2014-06)
This paper presents basic design and fabrication of activated carbon filters from agricultural wastes (coconut and palm kernel shells) for water purification in the Northern Region of Ghana. The content of the activated ...
Design of Thermally Reliable Environmental Barrier Coating for a SiC/SiC Ceramic Matrix Composites
(2013)
Silicon carbide-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (SiC/SiC CMCs) have been proven to possess greater high-temperature strength and durability. These materials are usually used in air breathing engines due ...
Theoretical And Computational Modeling Of An Implantable Biomedical Device For Localized Hyperthermia And Drug Delivery
(2011-10-23)
The advent of nanotechnology together with Biomedical Microelectro-Mechanical Systems (BioMEMS) for improved efficacy in treatment of cancer has resulted in the development of an implantable biomedical device for localized ...
Influence of Molecular Polarizability on the Active Layer of Organic Photovoltaic Cells: A case study of Poly(3-hexylthiophene)
(2013-05-23)
The complexity of the microstructure of the active layer in organic photo-voltaics (OPVs) poses a unique challenge in improving the efficiency of OPV devices. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides a direct route ...
Effects Of Bending On The Optoelectronic Properties And Failure Mechanism In Organic Photovoltaics
(2011-12-15)
This research investigates the effects of bending on the electrical, optical, structural and mechanical properties of flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Bulk heterojunction organic solar cells were fabricated on ...
Simulation Of Carbon Nanotube Growth
(2013-05-28)
The basic understanding of the underlying techniques of growing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) with a specific chirality is still obscure and needs to be understood so as to properly harness its potentials. Using both Classical ...
Spontaneous Flow Transitions in Active Polar Gels
(2011-11-21)
Active polar gels are a type of viscoelastic soft material formed by polar filaments which are constantly driven out of equilibrium by the consumption of chemical fuel such as ATP. Following the approach of Voituriez et ...
Calculations Of Phonons And Phonon Dispersion In Lifep Pnictide Superconductor
(2010-12-15)
Not too long ago(2008),a new pnictide Superconductor free from arsenic was discovered –LiFeP. It belongs to the family of the so called ‘111’ type iron Superconductor. It has unique characteristics in its normal state which ...
Synthesis Of The Conventional Phenomenological Theories With Marginal Fermi Liquid Model
(2011-11-23)
The high temperature superconducting cuprates show some non Fermi liquid behaviour in their normal state.
Also there is no generally accepted theory of high temperature superconductivity. The BCS theory has failed to ...
Quantum Simulation Of A Transverse-Field Ising Model
(2010-12-15)
A popular model that have been used to study ferromagnetism is the Ising Model which is an arrangement of spins along a particular direction and with discrete values of +1. 1-D Ising model doesn't show a phase transition ...
