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 ...

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, ...

This thesis presented the surface modification of polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) to enhance surface wettability and surface roughness. Physical and chemical modifications were performed on cured surfaces of PDMS and PDMS-based ...

Access to cheap and reliable electricity is a requirement for improved quality of life and industrialization. Solar energy harvesting for electricity generation has been a promising area where solar cells are combined into ...

This research focused on studying the suitability of a blend of plant extracts for sweet corrosion inhibition on carbon steel in 3.5% NaCl solution. A comparative study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of sweet ...

Nanomedicine has gained a lot of attention as a potential solution in theragnosis of cancer. With the introduction of nanoscale metallic oxide materials, imaging techniques, disease detection, and treatment modalities could ...

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 ...

Barite is an exceptional non-metallic mineral composed of barium sulphate and it is used mainly by the oil and gas industry as drilling mud in deep drilling, where high pressure is encountered. The specific gravity of ...

The main challenge of heavy oil (bitumen) is the high viscosity making it not flow easily to production wells at normal reservoir conditions. Thermal recovery methods are used to exploit heavy oil reservoirs, where oil ...

Increasing oil recovery has been one of the issues enlisted for attention in oil producing countries around the world for past decades. So many forms of oil recovery techniques have been considered; infill drilling of new ...
