Diaper Dissolving Machine
Abstract: In landfills, there are approximately 3.5 million tonnes of disposable diapers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Currently, used diapers are disposed of through burning, burying in the ground, or improper disposal on the ground, including illegal dumping by caregivers. These careless disposal practices pose the risk of spreading infectious diseases and contribute to environmental degradation. To address this significant problem, we propose a suitable nappy waste management system. …

Effect of Surface Wettability on the Surface-Driven Capillary Flow in SU-8 Microchannels
Abstract: AbstractSU-8 microfluidic devices have been fabricated by the maskless lithography. Passive capillary flow is suitable to manipulate liquid in the lab-on-a-chip systems. The surface-driven capillary flow of dyed water in each microfluidic device has been recorded and analysed. The measured static water contact angles are 72.6°and 81.2° on the hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) deposited flat surface and Si-a:C:H deposited flat surface respectively. Either, a-C:H or Si-a:C:H has been deposited on …

Towards a Geo-Classification of the Niger Delta for Highway Investment Costing Applications
Abstract: The study carries out a quasi-experimentation, as a basis of devising a spatial quantitative concept, delineating distinct geologic settings which would have differing cost implications for highway infrastructure development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Three broad conceptual geomorphic boundaries, for the categorisation of Niger Delta soils in engineering geologic costing application, were discerned within this conceptual lens. The study further statistically explores the synthesised geo-zonation for differences in …

Cryptosporidium parvum Mediated Diarrhea in Immunocompromised Patients
Abstract: Cryptosporidium parvum is one of the important diarrheal agents, especially in malnourished children and immunocompromised patients. Of the many species, Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis are the two major species that cause water borne outbreaks. The geographic difference in the distribution of parasite has been attributed to sources and its mode of transmission. The parasite is able to survive in the environment for long time and is resistant to many …

Characterization of Laccase Enzyme from Dye Degrading Bacterial Strains Isolated from Natural Sources
Abstract: The continuous growth in globalization and industrialization has increased the environmental pollution and one such major contaminant is various types of synthetic dyes. Microbial decolorization and degradation of these dyes through secretion of various extracellular enzymes is gaining importance owing to their eco-friendly nature. One such enzyme is laccase, a multicopper oxidase enzyme which has the ability to oxidize both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds through reduction of molecular oxygen to …
