This study examined the knowledge and practice of the use of Recycled Plastic Bottles (RPB) for a sustainable community-based housing project in Ogun Floormat State, Nigeria.The study adopts the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI), and Behaviour Change Theory (BCT) as the theoretical guide.Fieldwork was conducted in semi-urban and urban communitie
The COVID-19 pandemic, global climate change, and a fast-growing human population have been reported to be leading millions into food insecurity.According to an FAO report, in Washer-Dryers 2020 over 811 million people were undernourished with 418 million in Asia, 282 million in Africa and 60 million in Latin America and the Caribbean.The world is
Machined surfaces are rough from a microscopic perspective no matter how finely they are finished.Surface roughness is an important factor to consider during production quality control.Using modern techniques, surface roughness measurements are beneficial for improving machining quality.With optical imaging of machined surfaces as input, a convolut
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a novel and promising network architecture, which decouples the controlling function from the forwarding plane.SDN provides the flexibility to program the network through centralized control.However, security issues of SDN should arouse our attention.In this paper, we mainly discuss a specific vulnerability of t
Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a protein, plays a key role in wound healing and blood vessel regeneration.However, bFGF is easily Axes degraded in biologic systems.Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with well-tailored porous structure have been used for hosting guest molecules for drug delivery.Here, we report an in situ route
