Synthesis of the Conventional Phenomenological Theories with Marginal Fermi Liquid Model
(2011-11-20)
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 ...
Stochastic Modelling of a Chemotactic Microswimmer
(2011-11-20)
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 ...
Qualitative Modelling and Simulation of Free Running Semiconductor Laser
(2011-11-15)
The thesis presents the modelling and simulation of free running semiconductor laser. The rate equations which were derived on the basis of the fact
that there must be a balance between carriers that undergo transition ...
Modelling of Contact and Adhesion at Interfaces in Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
(2011-12-15)
The study of the structures and properties of organic materials for organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications and their interrelationships is a rapidly growing field of research, involving interdisciplinary efforts at the ...
Mechanistic Models for Predicting Sand Production: a Case Study of Niger Delta Wells
(2014-12-12)
Niger Delta Province is predominantly a friable, unconsolidated sandstone terrain suggesting the expectation of sand production while developing hydrocarbon reserves in such terrain. In this study, a simple and easy-to-use ...
Ultrafast X-rays Imaging For Medical Physics
(2016-06-17)
In this thesis we explored the production of highly coherent and energetic extreme ultra violet(XUV) radiation through the process of high harmonic generation(HHG). HHG is a process by which a ultrashort laser pulse interact ...
Detailed Analysis of Pressure Drop in a Large Diameter Vertical Pipe
(2014-12-15)
With the ever increasing need to optimize production, the accurate understanding of the mechanics of multi-phase flow and its effect on the pressure drop along the oil-well flow string is becoming more pertinent. The ...
Material Balance Application for Brownfield Development
(2016-06-12)
The need to re-develop one of the Brown fields located in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria was necessitated by the fact that there are still three undeveloped reservoirs in the field. A total of six stacked reservoirs, A100 ...
Spontaneous Flow Transitions in Active Polar Gels
(2011-11-20)
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 ...
