Implantable Biomems Devices for Localized Breast Cancer Drug Delivery
(2011-12-15)
Implantable Bio-Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (BioMEMS) represent a new class of devices that can provide localized cancer drug delivery by the combined effect of chemotherapy and hyperthermia which gives it an advantage ...
Modeling of Cold Welding and Lamination of Organic and Hybrid Organic /INORGANIC Structures
(2011-12-15)
This research work presents the results of analytical studies of effects of pressure and adhesion energy on the interfacial properties of cold welded and laminated surfaces in organic and Hybrid Organic/Inorganic electronic ...
Abrasive Wear Studies of Pack Cyanided Mild Steel (PCMS)
(2011-12-15)
This work aimed at using processed cassava leaves to pack cyanide mild steel (MS) under different treatment conditions and investigating the wear properties of the pack cyanided mild steel (PCMS). Pack cyaniding (PC) of a ...
Modeling and Simulation of Stress Distribution and Crack Configuration of the Geometry of Ceramic Water Filter
(2011-12-15)
Most countries in Africa are faced with difficult challenges in terms of providing safe, clean drinking water for their citizens. The world Health organization estimates that approximately 500 lives are lost per day in ...
Biosynthesis of Magnetic Nanoparticles for Cancer Detection and Treatment
(2011-12-15)
Chemical and physical methods for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles for cancer detection and treatment often involve toxic chemicals, high cost and the formation of non-stable nanoparticles. This prompted the development ...
Bacterial Remediation of Polyethylene
(2011-12-15)
Improper disposal of commodity plastics e.g. polyethylene (PE) in the environment causes land pollution, soil infertility, is unsightly and poses dangers to plant and animal life. The current effort describes the bacteria ...
Waterflood Optimization using Streamline Simulation
(2011-12-12)
Waterflooding is a secondary recovery process in which water compatible with the reservoir of interest is injected into the reservoir to displace residual oil. The goal of waterflood management is to maximize oil recovery ...
Thermal Transient Testing Using Tds Technique
(2011-12-12)
In the estimation of most reservoir parameters in well test, the reservoir is assumed to be isothermal which is practically not true due to the fact that there are heat sources due to friction in the wellbore, works done ...
Temperature Prediction Model for Flowing Distribution in Wellbores and Pipelines
(2011-12-12)
Down-hole temperature and pressure data are important information needed to understand flowing conditions and production optimization. For example, knowing the wellbore temperature profile is useful in predicting the wax ...
