The deformation behavior of commercial microhybrid resin based composite (20/20 composite) and nanofilled composite (Light Cured Universal Composite) cured with the conventional Light Emitting Diode (LED) and exponential ...

The effect of slice thickness on the dehydration and rehydration characteristics of yam was studied in a Refractance Window TM (RW) type dryer constructed from a laboratory water bath. Yam slices 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm thick ...

The drying characteristics of yellow carrots (Daucus Carota) were studied using a laboratory scale batch Refractance Window™ (RW) dryer. This study was performed to facilitate the understanding of the design on a continuously ...

This study aims to investigate the drying characteristics of cassava, yam, and potato slices using a laboratory scale batch Refractance Window™ (RW) dryer. The experimental dryer was constructed by modifying a laboratory ...

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of deaths globally. Continuous and regular monitoring of vital signs is necessary for patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases especially in low and middle income ...

Background: Cold application in the commonest cryotherapy method used in hospitals, homes and schools. In this paper, we present a simple electronic device for cooling biological tissues, which requires neither water nor ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of the roasted cashew nut during fracture, by subjecting the nut to varying impact load tests at different orientations to ascertain ...

Cashew nut centrifugal shelling machine was designed and constructed. Shelling efficiency and whole kernel recovery were evaluated for hot-oil roasted nuts on the machine. The design was based on the principle of the optimum ...

This paper examines the problems of maintenance in developing countries. It acknowledges poor maintenance culture as a worldwide problem but notes that the situation is at an alarming rate in the developing countries. ...

Oil palm trees are abundant in Nigeria but they are hardly used for structural purposes, except in some rural areas where they are used as roof trusses, floor joists and occassionally columns.' In this paper tensile ...
