Clay Filtration of Microbes and Fluoride
(2010-06-07)
Consumption of contaminated water may result in several water-borne diseases, including hepatitis, typhoid, cholera, dysentery and other diseases that cause diarrhoea. One of the ways this problem can be prevented is by ...
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 ...
Improving the Wear Resistance of Barite Mining Tools
(2014-12-15)
Wearing of mining tools leads to high replacement costs, machine downtime and loss of business opportunities. This work was however, aimed at improving the wear resistance of AISI 1065 and 1070 proeutectoid steels used for ...
Annealing Heat Treatment of Organic Material for Controlled Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
(2013-05-15)
The morphology of active layers of organic solar cells plays crucial roles in achieving good performing devices with longer life span. The process of fabricating these devices involved post deposition thermal annealing, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Paclitaxel Loaded Polylactide-Co-Glycolide Acids for Coronary Artery Disease and Cancer Treatment
(2013-04-07)
The number one killer disease in the world is Cardiovascular Disease1. The most serious element of Cardiovascular Disease is Coronary Artery Disease. Currently, the main treatment for Coronary Artery Disease is stent ...
