The AK field is an oil field draining the Agbada Formation, one of the three units of the Niger Delta Province, which started forming about 50 million years ago. Reservoirs from the AK field are sandstones and are located ...

This study aimed at characterizing and evaluating the viability of barite deposits within Ribi for industrial applications. There is an inadequacy of information as regards mineralization, chemical and geotechnical properties ...

This project concerns Evolution Equations in Banach spaces and lies at the interface between Functional Analysis, Dynamical Systems, Modeling Theory and Natural Sciences. Evolution Equations include Partial Differential ...

In this study, Flexy energy analysis taking exergy analysis and heat recovery into account on performance has been performed. The effects of wasting heat on exhaust gas temperature and cooling engine, is analysed in terms ...

Let X be a real Banach space, X ∗ its conjugate dual space. Let A be a monotone angle-bounded continuous linear mapping of X into X ∗ with constant of angle-boundedness c ≥ 0. Let N be a hemicontinuous (possibly non-linear) ...

Formation of water-in-oil emulsions are among the major challenges encountered by production and surface facilities engineers during the recovery of crude oil, especially in a large multi-wells system in both onshore and ...

This thesis is focused on fabrication of biodegradable implantable devices for extended localized drug release. Paclitaxel (PT) was used as cancer drug in the study. Poly lactic –co- glycolic acid (PLGA) is a polymer used ...

Research in computer vision and machine learning is a significant part of research in computer science departments of many leading institutions resulting in ideas and products that have direct applications in different ...

Epoxy, a thermosetting polymer due to its attractive properties, has been widely used in many industries as a coating material such as the oil and gas industries. This study provides an insight into the corrosion behavior ...

There have been several improvement in object detection and semantic segmentation results in recent years. Baseline systems that drives these advances are Fast/Faster R-CNN, Fully Convolutional Network and recently Mask ...

Nigeria is blessed with mineral resources but unfortunately many have been poorly exploited. This has resulted to spending huge sums of money to import these minerals rather than taking advantage of available local natural ...

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using ethane gas or flue gas has proven to be successful in some regions of the world, but these methods have not been implemented in the Niger Delta. This work investigates the technical and ...

We theoretically investigated a phenomena arising from the interaction of femtosecond pulsed lasers with an Hydrogen atom. The phenomena of interest to us, is the High or der Harmonic Generation (HHG) of soft and hard-Xray ...

Femtosecond lasers represent an electromagnetic field with field intensities approaching and even exceeding atomic binding field. When irradiated on a target, the material responses change from linear to nonlinear within ...

The thesis presents the modelling and simulation of the rachet effect created by a spatio temporal asymmetry potential. The potential is a coupled spatial asymmetry sin wave and a rectangular pulse train. The effective ...

We present theoretical results of the study of H 2 S adsorption on gold cluster Au n (n = 1, 5) using density functional theory with Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation energy functional. Minimum energy ...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been identified as an effective technology for grid-scale energy storage because of relatively low cost and natural abundance of sodium, but the lack of suitable anode materials with high ...

Prodigiosin molecule, whose efficacy in the treatment of cancer has proven positive, has been studied using first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods as implemented in VASP - Vienna Ab initio Simulation ...
