Polylacticacid (PLA), produced from annually renewable, natural resources is a potential candidate for the partial replacement of petroleum based polymers and also for its biodegradability. PLA is well known for its better mechanical, thermal property but unfortunately the brittleness and rigidity limit its applicability. For a great number of appl

Local drug delivery using drug-releasing implants located inside bone is recognised as a promising strategy to address the limitations of systemic drug administration to bone. However, the studies of drug-release kinetics are not possible to perform using existing in-vitro drug releasing systems and 2-D bone cell models. The aim of this work is to

The world has become a global village. This makes social interactions inevitable where people of different cultures and religions meet. Disputes in the course of such interactions become unavoidable. This is mainly as a result of cultural conflicts. Despites this, many nations do not put in place effective measures for resolving conflicts across cu

The modern world has increasingly witnessed paucity of people with impeccable moral standards. All forms of moral bankruptcy are being witnessed across nations of the world. Muslim nations are also not excluded from this. This ranges from homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion, suicide, euthanasia, and corruption to mention but a few. This ulti

Augmented Reality (AR) applications have become increasingly ubiquitous as it integrates virtual information such as images, 3D objects, video and more to the real world, which further enhances the real environment. Many researchers have investigated the augmentation of the 3D object on the digital screen. However, certain loopholes exist in the ex

The algorithms based on image feature detection and matching are critical in the field of computer vision. Feature extraction and matching algorithms are used in many computer vision problems, including object recognition and structure from motion. Each feature detector and descriptor algorithm’s computational efficiency and robust performance ha

The great demand for fermentable sugars derived from low-cost materials to produce several chemical products such as ethanol and lactic acid gave the lignocellulosic biomass considerable significance among other substrates. Alkaline pretreatment has been used widely to increase the enzymatic digestibility of fibers. However, this method encounters

Fe - 9 to 12%Cr alloys are a material for the thick sections boiler components and steam lines of a power plant. The role Fe - 9 to 12%Cr alloys is becoming more prominent in the development of a new generation of Ultra-Supercritical (USC) Power Plant due to the target operating temperature is reaching 620 °C (893 K), in 100% steam condition as we

Vascular intersection is an important feature in retina fundus image (RFI). It can be used to monitor the progress of diabetes hence accurately determining vascular point is of utmost important. In this work a new method of vascular point detection using artificial neural network model has been proposed. The method uses a 5x5 window in order to det

University campuses should create peaceful and pleasant learning environment for the benefits of campus community. The degree of transport use on-campus by both staff and student population is very important to achieve this noble target. It has been observed in the recent past that the alarming vehicle growth in the University would eventually not
