Dimensionnal stability and strength appraisal of termite hill soil stabilisation using hybrid bio-waste and cement for eco-friendly housing.

Dimensional stability and compressive strength are key factors to consider when modelling earth-based materials. It defines the volumetric performance of earth-based materials upon wet and dry environment. Meanwhile, the deformation under compression loading is accessed with the compressive strength testing.

Molecular dynamics simulation of strengthening dependence on precipitate Cr composition in Fe-15at.%Cr alloy.

Molecular Dynamics simulation was employed to study precipitate composition dependence on strengthening. Edge dislocation interaction with pure, 80at.%, and 60at.

Enhancing transit polio vaccination in collaboration with targeted stakeholders in Kaduna State, Nigeria: Lessons learnt: 2014-2015.

Introduction: In Kaduna State of Nigeria, the high influx of people from neighboring states with eligible children for polio vaccination represents a significant proportion of the target population. Many of these children are often missed by the vaccination team. The purpose of the study was to determine the contribution of targeted stakeholders in transit polio vaccination.

Mass immunization with inactivated polio vaccine in conflict zones--Experience from Borno and Yobe States, North-Eastern Nigeria.

The use of Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) in routine immunization to replace Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) is crucial in eradicating polio. In June 2014, Nigeria launched an IPV campaign in the conflict-affected states of Borno and Yobe, the largest ever implemented in Africa. We present the initiatives and lessons learned.

Progress toward poliomyelitis eradication in Nigeria.

Background: Transmission of wild poliovirus (WPV) has never been interrupted in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria. Since 2003, infections with WPV of Nigerian origin have been detected in 25 polio-free countries. In 2012, the Nigerian government created an emergency operations center and implemented a national emergency action plan to eradicate polio.
