Natural fibers have sparked the interest of researchers for the applications in polymer composites due to their "greener" character and influence on environmental sustainability. In this research, the hand lay-up method was used to produce the brewed tea waste reinforced jute pol...
Shelter as vital as it is to man necessitates the strong urge of man in providing shelter for himself and his family. The first issues to be noted and appreciated in Buildings are the aesthetic, functionality, building materials used and the possible structural stability of the b...
Absorbent bleaching of crude groundnut oil was performed using activated rice husk as an adsorbent. The study focused on refining the oil by eliminating unwanted components. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the bleaching process by analyzing the impact of tim...
Globally, sources of natural aggregate such as sand and quarry dust as fine aggregate, and crushed granite, sandstone, dolomite and basalt as coarse aggregate for concrete are fast getting depleted or exhausted. There is therefore the need to look for alternative sources to repla...
The dependence of maximums of figure of merit ((ZT)max) on thermoelectric quality factor (B) for thermoelectric SixGe1-x of n- and p-type conductivity with a charge carrier concentration of 3.21026m-3 has been considered. The values of x are: 0.7, 0.72, 0.76, 0.8 and 0.83. For al...
In order to further verify the accuracy of Ground Penetrating Radar in practical engineering, this article takes the quality inspection of a water conveyance tunnel in Henan as an example. By analyzing and verifying the defect images such as non compaction and voids in the inspec...
In this study, a multi-functional dryer utilizing electric and solar energy sources was designed and fabricated. Its performance and efficiency were evaluated at 55°C, 60°C, and 65°C using cassava and red pepper. The blower, solar chamber, heater, and heating chamber were the maj...
The present study aimed to investigate the corrosion resistance of Al-Zn-Mg alloy under different times of heat straightening, utilizing the intergranular corrosion (IGC) and electrochemical testing. The results indicated a decrease in the IGC resistance of the Al-Zn-Mg alloy as...
SAMPLE ABSTRACT: The 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT precision increase in the Biochemical Recurrence (BR) cell detection brings new challenges in the patients clinical management, specially on RT. Although the RT treatment is a well established practice in 70% of the Prostate Cancer (PCa) pati...
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) stands as a vital II-VI group compound semiconductor material characterized by its wide bandgap, high electron mobility, and remarkable chemical stability. Its versatility is widely recognized across domains including photocatalysis, optoelectronics, semiconduc...
Due to the growing population and automobiles, there has been a massive growth in the number of petrol stations worldwide. The oil and gas sector is quickly becoming one of the largest employers in Nigeria, particularly in urban and peri-urban regions where it has drawn a sizable...
In this work, nanocrystalline TiO2 thin films have been prepared by the sol-gel spin coating method at different spin speeds. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy, and UV–vis spectroscopy were used to investigate the structural and optical properties of the depos...
The Pearl River Delta Water Resources Allocation Project aims to solve the water conflict in this area and ensure the water use in water scarce areas and eastern Guangdong. The water conveyance tunnel project adopts a multi-layer lining structure to improve the bearing and deform...
The country depends largely on foreign insulating and refractory bricks even though researches have shown that the necessary raw materials which are Ball clay, kaolin, saw dust, charcoal, and rice husk were used for the production of refractory bricks are prevalent and available...
As the core component of underwater intelligent equipment, the ballast tank plays a role in pressurizing and protecting internal precision instruments in the entire structure. The design of a more lightweight, stable and stronger ballast tank has become the focus of research. In...
