A fallacy may exist regarding the availability of affordable houses due to rising inflation and high cost construction supplies brought on by struggling economy. Because this, most developing nations, including Nigeria, are dependent importation building materials. This study looked into how certain macroeconomic parameters affected supplies. The indicators interest rate, GDP, inflation. study'...

Two easily accessible local materials, kaolin, and sediments from the reservoir of a dam, were evaluated to compare their efficiencies as adsorbents for As. The kaolin sample was composed mainly by kaolinite quartz, while contained illite, montmorrillonite quartz. Also, iron, calcium magnesium minerals present minor components. adsorption experiments performed using batch equilibrium techniques...

Layered transition metal oxides are promising materials for high-energy lithium-ion battery cathodes. These materials offer high capacity and rate capability, good safety, and relatively low cost compared to many alternative materials [1]. Mixed oxides such as NCA (LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2) exhibit high capacity but suffer from a significant capacity fade with cycling [2]. The composition of alter...

What is the best distribution strategy to ship materials from a source to multiple destinations on a regular basis? This is a common question confronting logistics planners in many industries. This paper examines this issue in the context of the ocean freight industry. In particular, we tackle the economics of freighting raw materials through a transshipment hub, and propose a method to synchro...
