This research proposes machine learning techniques to develop models that would facilitate decision-making in health informatics. It focuses on using efficient machine learning techniques to solve the pressing need in the ...

Traditional mathematical methods such as differential equations formalism have been used for centuries as the main tools for analysis of complex systems in varied areas. As opposed to the general solutions provided by ...

Simulation engineering employs the use of simulation models, simulation environments, and simulation execution platforms in providing applicable Modeling and Simulation (M&S) solutions for studying complex systems. Discrete ...

The goal of an oil field development project is to accelerate the hydrocarbon production and maximize recovery at the lowest cost. Optimizing the production of oil from thin oil rim reservoirs poses a major challenge in ...

The organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells have continued to attract serious research interest since the first introduction as solar light absorber by Miyasaka and co-workers with a power conversion efficiency ...

Nigeria ranks among the top ten petroleum producers in the world with over eighty petroleum Investors in its upstream sector. This creates an enormous challenge for the upstream institutions’ managers especially in the ...

Globally, 30–50% of hydrocarbon volumes in silici-clastic reservoirs are contained within the thin-bedded pay. In the Niger Delta deep water assets, over 30% of in-place volumes are found within the complex turbidites. The ...

Wax is often precipitated out of solution in waxy crude oil found in most oil reservoirs around the world, especially as the production of oil and gas has moved from on shore to more challenging terrains offshore. Waxes ...

Although there have been significant efforts in breast cancer treatment over the past many decades, current therapeutic approaches are limited by non-specific systemic distribution, inadequate drug concentrations ...

Due to the growing concern of deforestation, renewable materials such as recycled cellulosic waste and non-wood fibres provide an alternative solution for partial replacement of wood resources as a reinforcement agent in ...

The aim of this dissertation is to contribute to efforts towards increasing the use of Nigerian barites in drilling mud production and other industrial applications. In order to achieve the above objectives, three projects ...

This work presents the results of a combined analytical and experimental study of the effect of reinforcement on the corrosion and adhesion ability of epoxy coatings. Firstly the corrosion behavior of 5-hydroxytryptophan ...

Perovskite solar cell (PSC) has emerged as a promising photovoltaic technology due to their prospects for high efficiency and low cost. Despite the impressive improvement in their power conversion efficiency (PCE) over the ...

This thesis explores the cytoskeletal structures and the statistical variations in the cell-protein fluorescence intensities/volume densities, creep characteristics, and viscoelastic properties of non-tumorigenic breast ...

This study characterizes barite ores and uses environment-friendly and indigenous processes to develop technologies, methods and mineral processing tools for barite recovery from gangue minerals. The study is in four parts. ...

In the construction field, development of green, sustainable and renewable materials is the main focus of research. In that direction, alkali activation technique has attracted a lot of attention in the past few years. ...

Slope stability is of significant importance for sustainable development in mining, civil engineering, and urban planning as slope failures endanger public safety and continue to result in costly repair work. This study ...

Carbon-based materials are widely used for energy storage systems because of their unique properties, low cost, and availability. These include Graphite, graphene, activated carbon, graphene oxide, carbon nanotube, carbon ...

Most poor and vulnerable people such as the peri-urban, people living in poverty and some internally displaced people (IDPs) are prone to water borne diseases because they drink polluted water. In order to improve water ...

Monotone operators and accretive operators are essential to modern optimization and xed point theory. Monotone operators were rst discovered by Minty in real Hilbert spaces to aid in the abstract study of electrical ...
