Crude oil spills resulting from the leakage from underground storage tanks, pipelines and other industrial operations are an important source of soil contamination. Bioremediation is an emerging technology that is used to recover contaminated soils. Laboratory scale experiments were carried out to bioremediate crude oil contaminated soil (COCS) usi
Numerous studies on bridging a nerve gap without using autologous nerve graft have been reported. Our study compares two models of nerve conduit; a porous PLGA sheet and acellular muscle stuffed vein with both models seeded with mesenchymal stem cells. The micro-porous PLGA sheet was fabricated by solvent casting/salt leaching technique using methy
Based on 1st author’s own participation and informal discussion with the inhabitants of coastal areas, these researchers attempt to know the impact of salinity on the socio-environmental life of coastal people. Bangladesh is a country which is slopped gently from the north to the south, where it meets the Bay of Bengal at its southern end. Becaus
Android platform has gained popularity in recent years in terms of market share and number of available applications. Android operating system is built on a modified Linux kernel with built-in services such as email, web browser, and map applications. In this paper, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) was designed and implemented on Android m
This study employed mixed method consisting qualitative and quantitative procedures to examine the impact of ICT in teaching and learning at a University in Nigeria. The survey data were drawn from 593 respondents (students and lecturers) and was analyzed using linear regression. For the qualitative part, one-on-one and focus group interviews were
Analysis of the tropospheric scintillation from earth to space at Ku-band has been carried out in order to obtain the required cut off frequency for the scintillation. This paper presents a comparison of scintillation amplitude and scintillation intensity between rain and non-rain event using data measured in Kuala Lumpur in December 2011. The find
Dilated spaces at intercellular junctions (DIS) in prickle cell layers are considered as early signs of acid-initiated damage to these esophageal epithelium. In order to enter the mucosal intercellular spaces, acid and pepsin have to penetrate the intercellular adhesion sites of the most superficial epithelial cells. The aim of this study is to exp
