Journal Article
Fubara-Manuel, I., Igoni, A. H., & Jumbo, R. (2017). Performance of irrigated maize in a crude-oil polluted soil remediated by three nutrients in Nigeria's Niger Delta. American Journal of Engineering Research, 6(12), 180-185

An in-situ simulated crude-oil polluted soil was remediated for 8 weeks by three different nutrients, and then used to plant maize (Farz 26) with a growth period of 14 weeks, with an irrigation depth of 4mm/day. Remediation consisted of the applicati... Read More about Performance of irrigated maize in a crude-oil polluted soil remediated by three nutrients in Nigeria's Niger Delta.

To determine mechanical properties, instrumented indentation is a non-destructive one where traditional methods (such as tensile test) are not accessible. However, there are several serious challenges when trying to correctly use this technique. H...

It is widely recognised that coastal flood events can arise from combinations of extreme waves and sea levels. For flood risk analysis and the design of coastal structures it is therefore necessary to assess the joint probability of the occurrence of...
