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 ...

Organic-inorganic perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) have attracted a lot of attention as high- efficiency thin film PVs which are relatively cheap and easy to fabricate. Lead halide perovskites have shown a rapid rise in power ...

Titanium alloy is popular in biomedical application owing to its low density, good biocompatibility (i.e. biological and chemical inertness) and excellent mechanical properties. Due to the high disparity between the implant ...

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 ...

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 ...

Due to rapid industrialization, the demand for heavy metals is ever increasing, but the reserves of high-grade ores are diminishing. Therefore there is a need to explore alternative sources of heavy metals. Ore mine gangues ...

This research presents the design, construction, and analysis of the performance of a mixed-mode solar dryer for crops. A mixed-mode solar dryer utilizes direct solar radiation from the sun as well as input heat ducted ...

One of the unintended impacts of crude oil exploration is the pollution of agricultural land and aquatic resources when there is accidental oil spillage. The environmental effect of this has resulted in untold hardship to ...

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 ...

There is a need for efficient energy storage to meet the world’s continuous demand for energy. The electrical energy storage devices available are conventional capacitors, electrochemical supercapacitors, batteries and ...

This research focused on studying the suitability of a blend of plant extracts for sweet corrosion inhibition on carbon steel in 3.5% NaCl solution. A comparative study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of sweet ...

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 ...

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 study presents the results of an experimental study of the effects of cassava leaves carbonitriding on the microstructure, hardness and abrasive wear behaviour of AISI 1065 and AISI 1070 steels used for barite mining ...

The texture and size distribution of various species of gangue minerals affect the beneficiation of barite and lower the specific gravity of barite as-mined. About 9% of the barite used in the oil industry in Nigeria is ...

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 ...

Existing data show that Portland cement material production contributes ~8% to the global CO2 emissions. This is detrimental to the environment and can lead to global warming. It is therefore pertinent to develop alternative ...

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 ...

Organolead trihalide perovskite solar cells have shown success as light absorbers in photovoltaic cells due to their efficiency increasing from 3.5% to over 20% within only five years. However, pinhole formation and ...

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 ...
