In this research work, we study and analyse Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal system with time delay. Considering the fast sub-system of the model, all the possible non-negative equilibria are obtained and their local as well as ...

Appropriate selection of rheological models is important for hydraulic calculations of pressure loss prediction and hole cleaning efficiency of drilling fluids. Power law, Bingham-Plastic Herschel-Bulkley models are the ...

Data-driven analytical models are important tools employed in the petroleum industry to forecast production rates and reserves of petroleum assets. Studies have shown that existing rate forecasting models project future ...

Key to Escherichia coli (E-coli) bacteria survival is its ability to direct its movement to greener pasture and flee harmful environment - also known as chemotaxis. This thesis focuses on the modelling of E-coli chemotaxis ...

Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism is a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) framework that provides a means of specifying systems. It separates a model from its simulator. The former describes the structure and ...

This study examined the mechanical properties of earth-based materials that are relevant to the future development of affordable housing. Earthcrete structures were produced by mixing various proportions of laterites, clay ...

Let E be a real 2-uniformly convex Banach space with topological dual E∗. We established strong convergence for the class of variational inclusion for the sum of three monotone operators. More over, we give a variant of ...

Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach space and E ∗ be its dual. Let A : E → 2 E be a bounded maximal monotone map. Assume that A −1 (0) 6 = ∅. A new iterative sequence is constructed which converges ...

Despite the excellent properties of graphene, graphene based electronic devices are yet to be realized, one of the reason for such is the absence of band gap in graphene. Due to its large band gap, hexagonal boron nitride ...

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 ...

The development of inexpensive, non-toxic, high efficiency and earth-abundant solar absorbers is critical for terawatt scale implementation of photovoltaics. Cu 2 SnS 3 is a promising earth abundant absorber material that ...

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 ...

Since the pioneering report of the discovery of graphene in 2004 by Novoselov et al, scientists and researchers worldwide have carried out in depth investigations in this new family of carbon because of its myriad properties ...

This study was carried out under various experimental conditions and rate of dye adsorption such as the solution pH, the adsorbent preparation concentration, and contact time to assess the potentiality of Kentucky coffee ...

Many studies have shown that smart homes can use energy more efficiently than traditional buildings. Thus, several researchers have advocated building a smart home in order to reduce energy consumption. In the literature, ...

Slug flow along slightly inclined horizontal pipes is a major problem in gas-liquid transportation, it is very pronounced in chemical, oil and gas processing industries. In reality, there is no absolute horizontal pipe due ...

Recently, deep learning techniques have been used significantly for large scale image classification targeting wildlife prediction. This research adopted a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) and proposed a deep scalable ...

The effect of liquid flow rate, pipe size (diameter) and pipe orientation (inclination) on liquid hold-up was investigated. Liquid flow rate between 500 STB/day and 5000 STB/day was studied. An oil of 25 ̊API at an average ...

Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass from bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) to butanol is an important alternative energy source. In this work, bamboo was used as biomass feedstock for the production of butanol by the fermentation ...
