    Abstract: This work is on measurement of automobile performance on Nigerian roads using the method of fuel economy. The current located area is the road linking Maiduguri city to Bama town all in Bono State, Nigeria. The emphasis is made on performance of automobile in relation to fuel consumption with fuel economy. Road safety enhancement is also highlighte... Show More

    Abstract: When a magnetic film is excited by a femtosecond laser pulse, either with THz or with optical frequencies, then there is at least a partial demagnetization within a few hundred femtoseconds, followed by a remagnetization to the original state on a bit longer time scale. This phenomenon is caused by a complex interaction of light with quantum matter... Show More

    Abstract: A simple method for characterizing the flow curve of a polymer solution (PEO) in shear in Couette geometry is developed. It consists in considering a priori the fluid in Newtonian flow with the assumptions related to the influence of the rheological and geometrical parameters, then to evaluate the shearing speed characteristic of this partially and...

    Abstract: This work presents a multidisciplinary mathematical model, as a set of coupled governing equations and auxiliary relations describing the fluid-flow, thermal, and electric fields of partially-ionized plasma with low magnetic Reynolds numbers. The model is generic enough to handle three-dimensionality, Hall effect, compressibility, and variability o... Show More
