Despite the potentials of dual reinforced particulate polymer composites to produce outstanding composite with enhanced wear properties, scholars have devoted insignificant attention to them. This paper introduces five ...

The activities of man affect the environment which in turn influences the climate. This study assesses these human activities by determining the perceived impact of oil spill and its attendant explosion and fire has on the ...

The study on the physio-mechanical behavior of aluminum dross has been carried out. The amount of aluminum dross used varied between 50 and 90 wt %, while bentonite added to the dross varied from 10- 50 wt % with a fixed ...

Physical and numerical simulations study of heat input dependence of cracking in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) in a nickel base superalloy, IN 718, was performed. Gleeble thermo‐mechanical physical simulation showed ...

The quest for quality brake pads employed both in civil and military aircrafts to ensure safety continues to attract attention. Mill scale reinforced silica-magnesia hybrid composite represents a potential new generation ...

This paper studies the physico-mechanical and thermal properties of insulating refractory bricks developed from selected Nigerian fireclays and agroforestry wastes. The as-received clays and agroforestry wastes were air ...

The overall safety of an aircraft requires that structural parts meet operational aerodynamic critical mechanical characteristics. This paper evaluated two critical mechanical properties of iron millscale (IMS) particles ...

In this work, Picard iteration method is used to obtain analytical expressions for the prediction of molar concentration of native and denatured jack bean urease (EC 3.5.1.5) through the three-reaction steps kinetic model ...

Tissue engineering is a field that has gained a lot of advancement since the discovery of biopolymers. Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms; that is, they are polymeric biomolecules. They consist of monomeric ...

This paper presents the results of a study on the potential use of pulverized bone (PB) as a pozzolanic material and supplementary cementing material in the production of concrete. Tests were ...

Concrete is an important construction material, and presently the production cost is becoming unreasonably higher and increasing exorbitantly, which was believed to be the result of high price of cement. These suggested ...

This work employs the T6 heat treatment process to aluminium-clay (Al-Clay) composite consisting of 15 wt% clay. The samples were solutionized at 500°C, 550°C and 600°C, and were quenched in air, oil and water. Selected ...

Nigeria's Niger-Delta province has been identified as one petroleum system- The tertiary Niger-Delta (Akata- Agbada) petroleum system. Almost all the petroleum resources currently are produced from the sandstone species ...

The complexity of the multiple interactive reactions of various cells/proteins and biochemical processes during phagocyte transmigration for foreign body responses to subcutaneous biomaterial implants have been studied ...

Engineering education is the process of training engineers for the purposes of initiating,facilitating and implementing the technological development of a nation. In Africa, the training of engineers has witnessed formidable ...

An Environmental Impact Assessment study was performed using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique for a range of plastic packaging waste disposal technologies, to determine which waste management strategy has the ...

This study is an attempt to exemplify the possible application of Geoinformation technology for identifying vulnerable settlements within crude oil pipeline corridor in Nigeria. Selected communities had been affected by ...

The physico-chemical, thermal and mechanical properties were used to evaluate coal samples from Udane-Biomi, EmeweEfoppa and Okobo, Kogi state, Nigeria. The results of the proximate analysis of the coals showed higher ash ...
