Fracture Mechanics Approach for the Maintenance of Offshore Oil and Gas Pipeline
(2014-12-15)
Failure of offshore oil and gas pipelines occurs under certain conditions due to some applied mechanical forces. These conditions constitute a potential
threat to the integrity of in-service life span of the pipelines ...
Prodigiosin Encapsulated Poly Lactide-Co-Glycolide (PLGA)- Coated Stent for Coronary Cardiovascular Interventions
(2014-12-15)
This research focuses on the design of a robust but flexible prodigiosin eluting stent coating for possible coronary cardiovascular implant. When coated with the drug embedded polymer matrix, the stent would be expected ...
Corrosion Behavior of Epoxy (SIGMALINE) Coated X65 Steel in some Selected Corrosive Media
(2014-12-15)
Like any industry, the economic success of the oil and gas industry can be no swifter than its success in corrosion control/prevention. Some oil and gas industries operate in hostile offshore environment that harbors ...
Cell Surface Interaction on a Multi - Scale
(2014-12-15)
The increasing rate of cancer patients worldwide, and especially Africa has led to numerous efforts to battle it. One approach to this has been localized drug delivery to reduce the quantity of drugs needed for therapeutic ...
Investigation of Cement Mortar and Steel used in Reinforced Concrete in Nigeria
(2014-12-15)
The study explores the investigation of the chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of steel and cement mortar used in reinforced concrete. The compositions and mechanical properties of the locally ...
Co2 Corrosion of the Welded Joint of an X65 Steel: Analysis of Surface Film Formed
(2014-12-12)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion, also known as sweet corrosion of steels has increased in recent years due to the injection of CO2 into oil wells in order to increase oil recovery and production. Despite the fact that carbon ...
The Impact of Low Density Polyethylene (water sachets) on the Mechanical Property of Cement Mortar
(2014-12-12)
Many building collapsed cases have been reported throughout the West African regions. It is recorded that during some of these subsidences, many lives are lost and the vast majority end up in hospitals and clinics with ...
Corrosion Behaviour of Low Carbon Steel used in Oil and Gas aboveground Storage Tanks
(2014-12-15)
The cost and losses associated with corrosion annually is approximately $ 276 billion or 3.1% of the GDP in the USA, 3 - 4% of GNP in Australia, Great Britain, Japan and other countries. The associated cost and losses ...
Induced Sickling of Erythrocytes Via Bending and the Effect of Mechanical Properties on Cell Pore Entry
(2014-12-15)
Patients living with sickle cell disease are perpetually plagued with painful crisis episodes, caused by vascular occlusion. Over time, this leads to oxygen deprivation and the eventual damage of starved tissues and organs. ...
Investigating the Impact of Pressure Depletion on the Estimation of Reserves and Recovery Factors in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
(2014-12-20)
The complexity of naturally fractured reservoirs poses constrains on reservoir engineers in estimating reserves and recovery factor in naturally fractured reservoirs. Naturally fractured reservoirs like all other hydrocarbon ...
