Nanotechnology is a field where scientific knowledge and ideas emanating from the sub-atomic, atomic and molecular levels are applied in the manufacture of new and smart materials. Nanotechnology makes use of the novel ...

Mycobacterium abscessus is intrinsically resistant to most antimicrobial agents. The emerging infections caused by M. abscessus and the lack of effective treatment call for rapid attention. Here, we intended to construct ...

The study investigated the effects of selected potential chemical activators on thermal resistivity of calcined clay based cement mortars. 0.5 M Na2SO4 and 0.5 M NaOH were used as activator solutions. The chemical ...

Conventional methods of making particleboards utilize wood chips. +is has resulted in a decrease in the tree cover due to the increase in wood demand. +e effect has been climatic change. Wood is bound using phenol ...

A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) seroprevalence and identify risk factors of exposure among cattle herds raised in three zones with different types of land use and ...
