Chemical and physical methods for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles for cancer detection and treatment often involve toxic chemicals, high cost and the formation of non-stable nanoparticles. This prompted the development ...

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 ...

Improper disposal of commodity plastics e.g. polyethylene (PE) in the environment causes land pollution, soil infertility, is unsightly and poses dangers to plant and animal life. The current effort describes the bacteria ...

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 ...

Most countries in Africa are faced with difficult challenges in terms of providing safe, clean drinking water for their citizens. The world Health organization estimates that approximately 500 lives are lost per day 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. ...
