Characterization and Stabilization of Laterite for Sustainable Construction Applications
(2017-12-12)
Laterite is an eco-friendly construction material that has the ability of being re-cycled indefinitely. The research is aimed at achieving the effective utilization of laterite as a sustainable construction material by ...
Technical Assessment of Mining Site and Barite Quality in Nigeria
(2017-12-16)
Barite is an exceptional non-metallic mineral composed of barium sulphate and it is used mainly by the oil and gas industry as drilling mud in deep drilling, where high pressure is encountered. The specific gravity of ...
Effects of Prodigiosin on Breast Cancer Cell Viability
(2016-07-10)
The Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH); also known as a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone can be utilized for targeted therapy with cytotoxic analogs, in which prodigiosin is linked to the [D-Lys6] LHRH. Our studies ...
Investigation of Stress Corrosion Cracking of Storage Tanks used to Store Methanol for Gas Hydrate Inhibition
(2018-12-07)
Methanol is normally used in the oil and gas industries for inhibiting gas hydrate. Before use, the methanol is normally stored in tanks often made of carbon steels and stainless steels, and these tanks are prone to corrosion ...
Utilisation of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) in the Production of Magnesium Oxide (MgO)-BASED Cement
(2017-10-23)
The use of Magnesium oxide (MgO) cement as a full replacement and viable alternative for Ordinary Portland Cement was studied. Rice husk, an agricultural waste, was calcined and synthesised to be used as a source of silica ...
Fracture Toughness and Resistance-Curve Behaviour of Laminated Bamboo
(2017-12-12)
In this study, the fracture toughness and resistance curve behaviour of laminated panels, produced from the tropical Nigerian bamboo species Bambusa vulgaris, were investigated to assess its potential for use as an alternative ...
