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 ...
Strength and Fracture of Earth-Based and Natural Fiber-Reinforced Composites
(2010-12-15)
This study examined the mechanical properties of earth-based materials that are relevant to the future development of affordable housing. Earthcrete structures were produced by mixing various proportions of laterites, clay ...
Gold Nanoparticle for Medicine
(2010-12-15)
Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing aqueous chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) with three different bacteria. Various microorganisms were verified to see how feasible they will be in synthesizing gold nanoparticles. ...
Modeling of Cold Welding and Lamination of Organic and Hybrid Organic /INORGANIC Structures
(2011-12-15)
This research work presents the results of analytical studies of effects of pressure and adhesion energy on the interfacial properties of cold welded and laminated surfaces in organic and Hybrid Organic/Inorganic electronic ...
Abrasive Wear Studies of Pack Cyanided Mild Steel (PCMS)
(2011-12-15)
This work aimed at using processed cassava leaves to pack cyanide mild steel (MS) under different treatment conditions and investigating the wear properties of the pack cyanided mild steel (PCMS). Pack cyaniding (PC) of a ...
