Effects of Bending and Stretching on Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Trihalide Perovskite Solar Cells
(2014-12-15)
In the recent decade, hybrid organic- inorganic trihalide perovskite solar cells have attracted significant interest from the scientific community due to their unique optoelectrical properties, ease and low cost of ...
The Role of Potassium Sorbate in Multi-Layer Chitosan-Based on Aspergillus Niger
(2014-12-12)
This paper presents the use of multilayered chitosan films incorporated with antimicrobial agent, potassium sorbate to enhance effective food packaging. In this study, potassium sorbate was incorporated into multilayer ...
A Study of the Pre-Treatment Temperature of Lignocellulosic Butanols an Alternative Fuel (BIOFUEL) Produced from Bamboo using Clostridium Acetobutylicum
(2013-05-12)
Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass from bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) to butanol is an important alternative energy source. In this work, bamboo was used as biomass feedstock for the production of butanol by the fermentation ...
The Role of Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria on Corrosion of X65 Low Carbon Steels and its Mitigation Using Sodium Tungstate and Nickel Biocides
(2013-05-12)
Metals in service often give a superficial impression of permanence, but all except gold are chemically unstable in air and air-saturated water at ambient temperatures and most are also unstable in air-free water. Corrosion ...
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 ...
Numerical Modeling of Wellbore Instability (SHEAR Failure) using Fracture Mechanics Approach
(2013-05-12)
Wellbore instabilities are responsible for 10-20% of the total drilling cost. It has been estimated that wellbore instability causes an annual economic loss of US$ 500 - 1000 million in the oil industry across the world. ...
Controlled Release of Fungicidal Antimicrobials on Packaged Foods
(2014-12-15)
This paper presents the effect of polymer concentration on the release of fungicidal antimicrobial (AM) agent to prolonging the shelf life of packaged food. This project aimed to produce and test AM films with varying ...
Numerical Modeling of Wellbore Instability (TENSILE Failure) Using Fracture Mechanics Approach
(2013-05-12)
When a well is drilled, the equilibrium in-situ stress is changed. In order to support the stress relief induced by the drilling and to prevent hydrocarbon influx into the cavity, the borehole is filled with a fluid. These ...
Oxidation of TBC Coated Nickel Based Superalloys and Gamma Titanium Aluminides for Land-Based Engines
(2014-12-12)
Our ability to power modern airplanes and land based engines depends largely on the thrust generated most importantly by aero engines. Over the past 30 years material cost has become an important factor, especially in ...
