This paper presents the results of a combined experimental and analytical/computational study of viscoelastic cell deformation and detachment from poly-di-methyl-siloxane (PDMS) surfaces. Fluid mechanics and fracture ...

In the past four decades, Nigeria has made impact on the global oil and gas exploration and production industry. As one of the lead exporters of crude oil and natural gas in Africa, an oil production model which tracks oil ...

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 ...

Chemical demulsifiers are routinely injected into the petroleum production system at several points to effectively resolve water-in-oil emulsion issues. Point of injection varies from downhole through wellhead and manifolds ...

The kinetics of degradation and sustained cancer drugs (paclitaxel (PT) and prodigiosin (PG)) release are presented for minirods (each with diameter of ~5 and ~6 mm thick). Drug release and degradation mechanisms were ...

Energy plays a significant role in life. Humans need energy to operate in industries, agriculture, transport and services. Due to increasing population and technological development, humans consume more energy than before, ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper gives a computational analysis of thin film thickness using the "Optical" software with refractive index data and results from optical measurements of an Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) with Poly-3-hexylthiophene: ...
