This study aimed at characterizing and evaluating the viability of barite deposits within Ribi for industrial applications. There is an inadequacy of information as regards mineralization, chemical and geotechnical properties ...

This thesis is focused on fabrication of biodegradable implantable devices for extended localized drug release. Paclitaxel (PT) was used as cancer drug in the study. Poly lactic –co- glycolic acid (PLGA) is a polymer used ...

Epoxy, a thermosetting polymer due to its attractive properties, has been widely used in many industries as a coating material such as the oil and gas industries. This study provides an insight into the corrosion behavior ...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been identified as an effective technology for grid-scale energy storage because of relatively low cost and natural abundance of sodium, but the lack of suitable anode materials with high ...

Prodigiosin molecule, whose efficacy in the treatment of cancer has proven positive, has been studied using first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods as implemented in VASP - Vienna Ab initio Simulation ...

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 ...

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 ...

This research is focused on evaluating the geotechnical properties of lateritic soil stabilized with bone ash and hydrated lime to improve the strength and quality of Nigerian lateritic soil (acquired from Galadimawa in ...

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. ...

The demand for lithium-ion batteries is high because of their high energy and power density, which most time is influenced by the lithium-ion cathode chemistry. However, the need for expensive and scarce metals, such as ...

Many building collapsed cases have been reported throughout the West African regions. It is recorded that during some of these subsidences, many lives are lost and the vast majority end up in hospitals and clinics with ...

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 ...

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 ...
