Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) are solar cell devices that work using electrochemical principles in which sensitive dyes are absorbed in the titanium dioxide (TiO2) photo-electrode layer. One of the key components of dye sensitized solar cells for developing high performance...
The stress field of a rectangular dislocation loop in an isotropic solid, which is in an infinite medium, is obtained here for a Volterra-type dislocation which has three non-zero Burgers vector components. Explicitly, the stress field of the dislocation loop in an infinite isotr...
The fundamental bases of liquid crystals and polymers–both widely employed in, and critically important to, modern society–apparently remain poorly understood. Hence, the need to explore alternative explanations to current paradigms. Thus, liquid crystals are viewed as partially...
Infant mortality is a challenge for third-world countries like Nigeria where there is little next to non-availability of conventional drugs, and if available, it is costly and out of the reach of the common populace. It is a fact that medicinal plant is a gift from Mother Nature,...
Our work expressed that compressed and stabilized clay with arabic gum is a suitable building material in regards to the mechanical properties. This paper presents an experimental study of the determination of thermal conductivity in a steady state cylindrical geometry configurat...
Incineration bottom ash is a form of ash produced in incineration facilities and this material is discharged from the moving grate of municipal solid waste incinerators. Geotechnical investigation is one of the effective means of detecting and solving pre, syn and post constructi...
Calcium Titanium Oxide or Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3-CT) and Zinc doped calcium titanium oxide (Ca1-xZnxTiO3-CT:Zn) Powder in a concentration of (0 molar ration of Zinc) were obtained by a simple method called solid-state reaction. Ceramics are based on CaTiO3-CT and (Ca0.5Zn0.5)...
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) tolerates relatively harsh climatic and soil condition in Arab countries. The annual total irrigation water requirements for Date palm trees in the Arab regions range from 73.0 to 95 (m3/tree). Also, approximately 70-80% of global freshwater consum...
This work reviews the concept of drilling mud corrosion by highlighting the major corrosion types associated with drilling operations, mechanisms and control measures. Fatigue stress failures (stress corrosion fatigue and Sulphide stress cracking) were explained while some proces...
Tin- Doped Barium Titanate Ceramics is a multiferroic substance that displays an important role in electronic devices. Manufacturing of energy storage devices with good efficiency and fewer losses has been a distinct topic. In the current study, Solid solution of Tin-doped Barium...
The aim of the study was to analyze nano and microbiological effects of EVODROP Silver and Copper Nanoparticle. Studies of the nanotechnological material Silver Nanoparticle and EVODROP Copper Nanoparticle with author Fabio Huether have been performed. EVODROP Silver and Copper N...
Given the rising building collapses within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the associated humanitarian consequences, this study evaluated materials management practices in building delivery process in build construction in Abuja, Nigeria. The study focused on analysis of...
Background: It is widely acknowledged that peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most devastating and challenging complication of total joint arthroplasty. As such, over the years, myriad aspects of this problem have been studied, among which are methods to increase the re...
Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF), as the part of a large productive system, based on the availability of fruits for the food industry, offer a large amount of possibilities in term of use of the fibers, which are almost exclusively dedicated to the field of materials, as the reinforc...
