This work deals with the assessment of particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) over Dire Dawa during the month of May 2021. In the study, purple sensor (PS) and gravimetric methods (GM) were used. The purple sensor was to provide real-time measurements of PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 particulates. The GM instruments were constructed using wood with 1 m height (distance to ground), with flat board on t...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractNew chemically amended (sodium periodate cellulose nanoparticle (NaIO4-CNP) adsorbent material was synthesized from dried fibers of cotton. The synthesized NaIO4-CNP adsorbent material was characterized for functional groups, crystallite size, surface morphology, morphological structure, and particle size) by using ...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractMany recent studies have indicated that some modified silicate glass–ceramics are considered and recommended to be part of the process of dental applications. Examples from the recommended glass–ceramics include modified lithium silicate with various dopants (ZrO2, CeO2), mica-based glass–ceramics, and leucite-based...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractUltrasound image velocimetry (UIV) is a technique that enables non-intrusive whole-flow field velocimetry measurements in opaque fluids. It gained interest in experimental fluid dynamics to study the flow mechanics of, amongst others, sediment-laden fluids. Further customisation of this technique is required to make it a reliable asset for experimental rese...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractWith respect to geology, most coastal terrains are underlain by problematic soils, some of which are liquefiable in nature and may cause sudden failure of engineering infrastructures. Against this background, this study was carried out to investigate the subsurface geology of some Lagos coastal areas and their engineering implications using geophysical and ...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe burden of bacterial infections and the failure of antimicrobial agents are increasing worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This raises the need for novel therapeutic agents to combat bacterial infectious diseases. The sensitivity of several common pathogenic bacteria to essential oils from the peels of three species of citrus plants was investig...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe present study aimed to analyze and spatially model maximum rainfall in the southern and southwestern regions of Minas Gerais using spatial statistical methods. Daily data on maximum rainfall were collected from 29 cities in the region. To obtain predictions of maximum rainfall for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 50, and 100 years, Bayesian Inference was emp...... hiện toàn bộ
