(International Journal of Engineering Research, 2016)Most people in rural Africa and other developing countries take in food that is not sufficiently rich in nutrient. The reason for this deficiency is because of poverty, specifically lack of money to buy proper dietary ...
-
(ASME, 2016)Lubricant film-forming viscosity index improvers blended with commercial engine oil have been developed and studied by using optical interferometry. The influence of the viscosity index improvers (PTFE and MoS2) mixed with ...
-
(Meat Science, 2016)Rich nutrient matrix meat is the first-choice source of animal protein for many people all over the world, but it is also highly susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and microbiological activities. In this work, we ...
-
(Food Analytical Methods, 2016)Total viable count (TVC) of bacteria is one of the most important indexes in evaluation of quality and safety of meat. This study attempts to quantify the TVC content in pork by combining two nondestructive sensing tools ...
-
(International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT), 2016)Many people, especially the youth, are also turning to the internet for news at the expense of Newspapers. Financial viability for newspapers, at least for now, requires retaining as many existing print readers as ...
-
(2016)The prediction of the pressure-viscosity coefficient, α, is one of the most important properties for Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) condition; thereby, the need for improvers to aid its measurement and performance ...
-
The use of lean thinking in managing productivity; a case of crystal-clear filtered drinking water. (International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT), 2016)
-
(International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 2016)Pulse electrochemical sawing micro-machining (PECSM) is a non-conventional process. Having features of no tool wear, no cutting force, and good surface quality, this process is suitable for machining micro-grooves on the ...
-
(Vacuum, 2017)Composite TiN-Ag films with various Ag content (Ag/(Ti + Ag)) were deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering and the influence of Ag content on the crystal structure, mechanical and tribological properties were ...
-
(Materials, 2017)Inspired by some typical plants such as lotus leaves, superhydrophobic surfaces are commonly prepared by a combination of low surface energy materials and hierarchical micro/nano structures. In this work, superhydrophobic ...
-
(Surface and Coatings Technology, 2017)W-Si-N composite films were deposited on both stainless steel and silicon wafers using a reactive magnetron system. The silicon content of the film was varied to evaluate the effect of silicon on films' elemental composition, ...
-
(Measurement, 2017)The acid value (AV) is an essential parameter for the quality and safety evaluation of peanut oil. In this study, for efficiently and real-time monitor of acid value (AV) in peanut oil, a portable spectroscopy system was ...
-
(Procedia Manufacturing, 2017)The problem with cavitation and possible pitting in internal combustion diesel engines is studied here. Both theoretical and numerical simulation studies are carried out in order to understand the noise and vibration sources ...
-
(Analytical Methods, 2017)In this study, a paper-based microfluidic surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) device was employed for the determination of trace level thiram. The paper-based microfluidic device was fabricated by cutting a hydrophilic ...
-
(Powder metallurgy-fundamentals and case studies, 2017)A novel Cu-based composite frictional train brake material composed of several elements such as Al, SiO2, Fe, graphite, Sn, Mn and SiO2 re-enforced with other elements was treated under Powder Metallurgy (P/M) route. The ...
-
(Surface and Coatings Technology, 2017)In this paper, yttrium was incorporated into titanium nitride matrix to deposit Tisingle bondYsingle bondOsingle bondN films using a reactive magnetron sputtering system and the microstructure, mechanical and tribological ...
-
(Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science, 2017)This paper seeks to outline good practice in the design, installation and operation of building cooling systems. It encompasses the discussion on the different types of cooling systems that must be applied for particular ...
-
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2017)Abstract: Flood in Ghana is growing from bad to worse. Many Ghanaians for the past years have lost their lives and properties, and other displaced from their homes through flood. The main course attributed to the flood ...
-
(Conversion and Management, 2017)A three-dimension model of an asymmetric valve covered orifice (VCO) nozzle and an asymmetric blind hole nozzle (SAC) used in two valve engines were developed for investigating in-orifice flow characteristics. Two fluid ...
-
(Applied Surface Science, 2017)It has been shown that enhanced electric field intensity (0–4.0 kV/cm) has an obvious effect on accelerating atom diffusion in Cu/Ta/Si interconnect stacks at 650 °C. The theoretical deduction proves that diffusion coefficient ...
