Can the material for “Impact of Nano Particle on Thermal Conductivity of Composites” be used as a guide for Physics Project?

Yes it can be used — The study evaluates the impact of Nano Particle on Thermal Conductivity of Composites. It covers the Modeling of thermal conductivity in composites, and the applications would benefit from the use of polymers with enhanced thermal conductivity. Polymer nanocomposites are commonly defined as the combination of a polymer matrix and additives that have at least one dimension in the nanometer range. Thermal conductivity of polymers is an important thermal property for both polymer applications and processing. Polymers typically have intrinsic thermal conductivity much lower than those for metals or ceramic materials, and therefore are good thermal insulators. Further enhancement of this thermal insulating quality can be achieved by foaming polymers. This study will be of immense benefit to researchers who intend …

Is the topic “Human Resources Management as an Essential Tool for Attaining High Organizational Goals” recommended for Human Resource Management (HRM) Project?

The Acquisition of human resources in the organization, identifying the extent to which human resources are developed in the organization, identify how workers are motivated and recommend better motivation methods where necessary, Find out how human resources in …

Is the topic “Determination of Heavy Metals in Edible Palm Oil Adulterated with Plant Dye” recommended for Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) Project?

Yes it is highly recommended — Different oil samples collected from Edo state, Enugu State and Abia State were produced using different methods. Oil from Abia State was produced by mechanical processing and adulterated with local additive red plant dye. While one from Benin was produced by extraction using N-Hexane, the fresh oil from Benin was produce by mechanical processing and the oil from Nsukka Enugu State was produced locally by mastication prior to cooking. The samples were analyzed for their relative density, saponification value, iodine value, acid value peroxide value and free fatty acid value. The values of the analyzed parameters were compared with each other. The result of the analysis shows that adulteration and method of production do not affect density of oils. The adulterant …

Can this topic “Limitations to the Development of Insurance in Nigeria” be used for Insurance Project?

Yes it can be utilized for research — Regulation of Nigeria’s insurance industry has become substantially intensified in the last two decades. This paper critically evaluates the philosophy and challenges of insurance regulation in the context of post-authoritarian governance and increasing economic liberalization in Africa’s potential largest insurance market. The last two decades has witnessed among others, government regulatory intervention through the establishment of a regulator and mandatory recapitalization. Temporally, the trajectory of developments in the last decade which coincides with post-authoritarian military rule in the country is significant. As a developing economy, the Nigerian insurance industry presents an example of untapped and gross under-utilization of its boundless potentials. Adopting a qualitative approach, this paper explores the factors responsible for the industry’s slow growth in comparison with its huge …

Can this topic “Evaluation of Reference Services in Nigeria Academic Libraries” be used for Library and Information Science (LIS) Project?

Yes it can be utilized for research — Reference service deals with the provision of reference work by library staff. The study was carried out to evaluate the Reference Services in Nigeria Academic Libraries. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to determine the reference section of the academic library is well organized and identify the strength and weakness of the library's reference collection because any effective reference service may not be feasible without an appropriate and adequate reference collection. Investigation revealed that the library does not tackle the problem of acquisition of up-to-date reference materials like journals to keep the clienteles abreast of the new trends in their various field of study. The research design used in this report is descriptive design, utilizing …
