To match the relentless pursuit of three research hot points - efficient solar utilization, green and sustainable remediation of wastewater and advanced oxidation processes, solar-mediated thermo-electrochemical oxidation of surfactant was proposed and developed for green remediation of surfactant wastewater. The solar thermal electrochemical process (STEP), fully driven with solar energy to el...

Management of municipal solid wastes (MSW) in most developed societies now involves the use of thermo-chemical conversion methods. This leads to energy and material recovery while also protecting the environment. However, till date most of the wastes generated in Nigeria (including plastic wastes) are either land-filled or openly burnt. These methods are not sustainable and environmentally non-...

The problem of partial exact controllability for linear thermo-viscoelasticity is considered. Using classical multiplier techniques, a boundary observability inequality is established under smallness restrictions on coupling parameters and relaxation functions. Then, via the Hilbert Uniqueness method, the result of partial exact controllability is obtained with Dirichlet boundary controls actin...

formulation by using chemical penetration enhancers and to study the effect of pulsed current on permeation through guinea pig, Wistar rat and human cadaver skin. Modified Franz diffusion cell was used to study the in vitro permeation across various types of skin by iontophoresis. The thermo-reversible gel was prepared and optimized by cold method using poloxamer 407 as a gelling agent. Thermo-...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of thermo-cycling and curing mode of composites (light and chemical curing) on dentin bond strength of one all-in-one and an one-bottle bonding systems. Methods and Materials: Occlusal enamels of eighty caries-free third molars were ground with a model trimmer to create flat surfaces in superficial dentin for bonding, and random...
