Is the topic “Statistical Characterization of Performance of Biopolymer Drill-In Fluid for Different Rheological Models” recommended for Petroleum Engineering Project?

Yes it is highly recommended — Appropriate selection of rheological models is important for hydraulic calculations of pressure loss prediction and hole cleaning efficiency of drilling fluids. Power law, Bingham-Plastic Herschel-Bulkley models are the conventional fluid models used in the oilfield. However, there are other models that have been proposed in literature which are under / or not utilized in the petroleum industry. The primary objective of this study is to recommend a rheological model that best-fits the rheological behaviour of xanthan gum based biopolymer drill-in fluids for hydraulic evaluations. Ten rheological models were evaluated in this study. These rheological models have been posed deterministically. Obviously this is unrealistic so these deterministic models are replaced by statistical models by adding an error (disturbance) term and making suitable …

Is the topic “The Impacts of Privatization of the Productivity of Formerly Owned State Firms / Businesses” recommended for Education Project?

Yes it is highly recommended — Despite an impressive level of privatization activity across Africa and the upsurge in research on the operating performance of privatized firms in both developed and developing economies, our empirical knowledge of the privatization programme in Africa is limited.

The specific indicators examined are profitability, productive efficiency, employment, capital investment, and output. The study measures the change in any given indicator of performance by comparing its average value some years before and some years after privatization. Pearson’s rank correlation was deployed to assess the relationship and level of technical efficiency in the selected enterprises. The results show significant increases in these indicators. Privatization is also associated with increase in technical …

Can the material for “Effect of Sprouting on the Proximate Composition and Thickening Properties of the Two Varieties of Cocoyam (Ede Ocha and Ede Ofe)” be used as a guide for Food Science and Technology (FT) Project?

Yes it can be used — The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sprouting on the proximate composition and thickening (functional) properties of two varieties of cocoyam “ede ocha” (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) and “ede ofe” (Colocasia esculenta). The two varieties were processed using standard methods and the nutritional and thickening properties analyzed. The result obtained was further subjected to statistical analysis (standard deviation and ANOVA). The result of the analysis revealed that in “ede ocha”, sprouting significantly (p<0.05) decreased moisture content (from 23.51- 11.77%), fibre (2.2- 1.85%), protein (12.01- 7.85) and bulk density (0.59 – 0.53 %) while it significantly (p<0.05) increased ash (1.78- 2.08%), fat (0.91- 0.98%), CHO (59.6-75%), WAC (1.96- 2.91%) and OAC (1.61- 1.86%). Whereas, in “ede ofe”, sprouting significantly (p<0.05) decreased …

Is the topic “Design and Implementation of a Computerized Information System for Livestock Management” recommended for Computer Science (CS) Project?

Yes it is highly recommended — This project deals with the network of livestock but focuses on the information of the livestock and how they interact with the physical environment. This new design is meant to given the public information on livestock making use of the computers. This project will also focus on animal husbandry, breading, feeding, and management of animal for the production of food, fibre, work and pleasure. Modern method concentrates on ones types of animal in large, efficient farming units that general animal product as the highest rate of return for investment. Intensive husbandry conditions includes large numbers of animals in small lots, enriched feed, and growth stimulation by various means, and vacci-domestic animals, however, are raised in small units under less efficient …

Can this topic “Feasibility Studies a Requirement for Starting a New Cooperative Business in Nigeria” be used for Economics Project?

Yes it can be utilized for research — The project is focused on feasibility studies: a requirement for starting a new cooperative business in Nigeria.
