Injectivity as a Critical Factor in The Performance of Water Flooding Operation
(AUST, 2021-04-02)Petroleum exploration, development and operation usually involves large capital investments that requires maximum reserves be recovered, so as to compensate for initial investment efforts. To achieve such a goal, where the ...

Feasibility Analysis of Ethane and Flue Gas Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery With a Niger Delta Case Study
(AUST, 2021-05-13)Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using ethane gas or flue gas has proven to be successful in some regions of the world, but these methods have not been implemented in the Niger Delta. This work investigates the technical and ...

The Effect Of Osteogenesis on the Mechanical Properties of a 3-D Polylactic Acid Scoffold
(AUST, 2021-06-10)Poly-Lactic Acid is used widely in biomedical applications due to its good biocompatibility (i.e. biological and chemical inertness) and biodegradability. The area of tissue Engineering has been explored for the regeneration ...

Ensemble Learning for URL Phishing Detection
(AUST, 2020-07-13)Phishing is a social engineering attack that has been perpetuated for long and is still a prominent attack with an attending high number of victims. The adverse effect of this allows phishers easy access to sensitive ...

Bidirectional Search in a String Using Wavelet Matrix and Burrows Wheeler Transform
(AUST, 2020-08-02)Wavelet tree is a data structure which permits the representation of sequences of symbols over an alphabet of size σ. It recursively partitions a string into two halves until homogeneous data is obtained. An increase in ...

Modeling of the Origin and Interactions of Multisoliton Solutions of the (2+4)KdV Equation
(AUST, 2019-06-05)Most of the relevant research work has addressed the properties of internal solitons in a greatly simplified environment, usually in the framework of different versions of the two layer fluid. The simplest equation of this ...

Femtosecond laser pulses interacting with atoms
(AUST, 2019-09-16)We theoretically investigated a phenomena arising from the interaction of femtosecond pulsed lasers with an Hydrogen atom. The phenomena of interest to us, is the High or der Harmonic Generation (HHG) of soft and hard-Xray ...

Structural and electronic properties of a two-dimensional hybrid system of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride: A first-principles study
(AUST, 2019-06-02)Despite the excellent properties of graphene, graphene based electronic devices are yet to be realized, one of the reason for such is the absence of band gap in graphene. Due to its large band gap, hexagonal boron nitride ...

Buoyancy Effects on Human Skin Tissue Thermoregulation due to Environmental Influence
(AUST, 2019-06-05)This paper theoretically examines the impact of thermal buoyancy on human skin tissue’s blood flow, heat exchange and their interaction with the surrounding environment using a two phase mathematical model that relies on ...

Coherence Control of Tunneling
(AUST, 2019-06-14)The phase space representation of quantum mechanics are well known as powerful tools for studying the correspondence between the density operator and classical distributions in phase space. This representation, known as ...

Stability and Bifurcation Analysis of a Hindmarsh-Rose Neuronal Model With Time Delay
(AUST, 2019-07-20)In this research work, we study and analyse Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal system with time delay. Considering the fast sub-system of the model, all the possible non-negative equilibria are obtained and their local as well as ...

Iterative Methods for Approximation of fixed Points of Certain Multivalued Mappings in Hadamard Spaces
(AUST, 2019-06-09)Let (X,d) be a Hadamard space and let D be its closed convex nonempty set. We studied countable family of multivalued demicontractive mappings {Ti} from D to C B(D) with constants {ki} ⊂ (0,1) and developed an iterative ...

Attractive Point Approximations of further 2-Generalized Hybrid Mapping in Hyperbolic Space
(AUST, 2019-06-20)In this research work, we propose a viscosity type iterative scheme and showed that the scheme converges strongly to the attractive point of further 2-generalized hybrid mapping in hyperbolic spaces. The result presented ...

Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse and Applications.
(AUST, 2019-06-10)An underlying theorem due to Gauss and Lengendre asserts that for an over determined system, there are solutions that minimize kAx − bk 2 which is given by the generalized in-verse of the matrix A even when A is singular ...
