Natural Gas Gathering and Transportation Systems: A Case Study of Nigeria

Gas is oe of the main resources if Nigeria. Therefore, the process behind its gathering and transport to the main centres of the country is crucial. Our member @tomlee addresses this topic in his last post, discussing a topic he presented at the university last year.

Honey as Wound Dressing: Does it Really Work?

Honey can help with wounds. This is by far not a myth and there is solid scientific grounds behind that. Honey has several properties that helps with any wound, concerning the bound itself but also the bacteriological dynamics around it. However, we should be careful and read the fineprints... @mike961 tells us everything on this topic this week!
