Previous research work has shown that sand production with hydrocarbons has helped to increase the
productivity of oil wells. However, this poses difficulties during shut down and start-up operations due
to sand deposition and are aggravated when the pipelines are undulating. The hilly-terrain geometry of
pipelines strongly affects multiphase flow regimes hence the need to study sand transport characteristics
as it is vital in efficient pipeline design. The aim of this research work is to experimentally investigate the
flow hydrodynamics…

Producing sand during oil and gas production is unavoidable. Sand is produced along with oil and gas
and its deposition in pipelines is a significant risk as it can cause pipe corrosion and flow assurance
difficulties. It is therefore key that flow conditions are sustained to guarantee lack of deposition of sand
particles. The minimum combination of mixture velocities that guarantee continuous sand motion is
known as the minimum transport condition (MTC). Here, we investigate the effect both of sand READ MORE Download Staff Profile

Slug translational velocity, described as the superimposition of the maximum mixture velocity in the
slug body and that of the drift velocity, is a critical parameter for two-phase pipe flow. Accurately
determining it is important for the energy-efficient design of oil and gas pipelines. A survey of the
literature revealed that existing prediction models of this parameter were developed based on observation
from low viscosity liquids (of 1 Pa.s or less). However, its behaviour in pipes transporting higher viscosity

CELL DIVISION CYCLE
Cell division cycle is the process by which
a cell grows, replicates its DNA and then
divides to give two daughter cells.
In prokaryotes, the cell cycle occurs via
binary fission.
In Eukaryotes, the cell cell cycle can be
divided into two brief period-------
1. Interphase----------during which the cell
grows, accumulating nutrients needed
for mitosis and duplicating its DNA
2. Mitosis (M) phase-----------during
which the cell splits itself into daughter
cells.

CANCER
• The cell is the basic building block of all living things. All cells
normally grow and divide (multiply) to replace old cells to keep the
body healthy. A cell becomes cancerous when it grows quickly and
uncontrollably.
• Cancer is a type of a neoplasm or tumor.
• A tumor is a swelling or lesion formed by an abnormal growth of
cells (called neoplastic cells).
• The term tumor is now used as a synonym for a neoplasm. READ MORE Download Staff Profile

INTRODUCTION

Flocculants, or flocculating agents are chemicals that promote flocculation by causing colloids and other suspended particles in liquids to aggregate, forming a floc (1). Thus they are widely applied in different industrial processes, including wastewater treatment, downstream processing, food and fermentation processes (2). Although chemical flocculants have been used widely due to their effective flocculating activity and low cost, some of these synthetic flocculant have threats to public health and increase environmental risks (3).

In recent years, utilization of…

Abstract

Magnetron sputtering was employed to deposit 0.5 µm of chromium (Cr) film on a sintered NdFeB–based magnet. The corrosion performance of the Cr–coated magnet was analyzed, compared with an uncoated magnet, in 3.5% NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization analysis revealed that the Cr film could shift the corrosion potential more positively and reduced the anodic dissolution of the magnet in the 3.5% NaCl solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further showed that the Cr film could increase the charge transfer…

INTRODUCTION

Zinc oxide varistors are voltage dependent resistors which exhibits nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. The non ohmic property, current handling capability, transient energy absorption capability, response time and high nonlinear coefficient make it more suitable for voltage surge suppression. Varistors are produced by advance ceramics technology. Different kinds of techniques for its production are available elsewhere (Lagrange, 1991; Harris, 1999).

INTRODUCTION
The protection of electrical appliances, installations and personnel against surge voltages resulting from lightning and switching of reactive loads is not new. Benjamin Franklin is a pioneer scientist in the study of lightning (Gupta, 2007). After his famous experiment of flying kite in thunder cloud in 1745, he proved then that lighting stroke is caused by the discharge of electricity. He invented lightning rods for fixation on tall building and grounding it for protection against lightning strokes.

INTRODUCTION

The production of lightning arresters using locally available materials in Nigeria was carried out Usifo and Edeko (1998). They used a mixture of haematite and calcium carbonate to produce the arrester. Usifo (2001) conducted s further work on these materials which resulted in the present day Oriaghe (named after the inventor) lightning arresters which have the same characteristics as that of the silicon carbide based lightning arrester. It would be interesting to note that these lightning arresters were the spark gap…

ABSTRACT

Aim: To determine indices of insulin sensitivity and oral disposition index (DIo) derived from 30 min of glucose challenge in adults with sickle cell anaemia; a group in whom there is chronic inflammation.

The concept of globalisation implies that the world has become a single place, a global village, with both geographical boundaries and time and space becoming meaningless. Before the 1980s, the notion of globality was strange; concepts such as ‘global governance’, ‘global political economy’, global gender relations’ and so on were virtually unknown. However, today, the idea of globality has pervaded the lexicons of politicians, journalists, social scientist, researchers and even bankers. Their language of discourse…

The theoretical sources of the Marxist framework emanated from three disciplines. These are classical German philosophy, English political economy and French socialism. In the medieval storehouse of social knowledge, the three disciplines represented not only the fulcrum of radical change activism but also, were regarded as the foundation of deep social learning and fundamental epistemology or theory of knowledge of society and human interactions. Hence, a brief excursion is necessary in these universally acknowledged sources…

Even though the term biochemistry, after about 100 years of use, has become commonplace in our language, a precise definition is difficult and depends on who you ask. Most scientists will agree with the straightforward definition, the study of life at the molecular level. The word ?biochemistry? has two components, biology and chemistry, and students of the discipline must be well versed in the fundamentals of both subjects. Biochemistry can also be defined as:

During data collections in on-farm research, one encounters situations where there are large numbers of variables comprising the dataset. One of the key steps in data analysis is finding ways to reduce dimensionality without sacrificing accuracy. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a multivariate technique in data analysis. It can be used for compressing higher dimensional data sets to lower dimensional ones (Davis, 1986).

INTRODUCTION

Infectious diseases such as malaria, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis have huge health, social and economic impact on major populations particularly in endemic regions (Parsons et al., 2015). They are responsible for a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Globally, about 50% of deaths attributed to these diseases occur among the poorest countries of the world (Fuller et al., 2015). In addition, some of these pathogens infect domestic and wild animals, consequently, leading to zoonotic infections (Cook, 2015). Although…
