1. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION OF NIGERIA BITUMEN AND HEAVY OIL: Oil is the single and most important commodity in the entire world today and also the largest resource for man’s demand for energy. Crude oil or petroleum is the oil believed to have originated from plants and animals remains over a long period of time. The proceeds from oil production in Nigeria have no doubt contributed to the social, economic and political development at the same time causing negative impact to both the environment and those living in that environment. It has rendered the ecosystem nearly useless due to oil spillage. It is not peculiar to Nigeria alone but the distinguishing mark is its management where there are found. Now the question is on the Future of Nigeria without crude oil.
Bitumen and heavy oil are unconventional oil resources that are characterized by high viscosities (i.e. resistance to flow) and high densities compared to conventional oil. Most Bitumen and heavy oil deposits are very shallow. They originated as conventional oil that formed in deep formations, but migrated to the surface region where they were degraded by bacteria and by weathering, and where the lightest hydrocarbons escaped. Bitumen and heavy oil are deficient in hydrogen and have high carbon, sulfur, and heavy metal content. Hence, they require additional processing (upgrading) to become a suitable feedstock for a normal refinery...{read more to download full material}
2. THE USE OF MICROBES AS MOBILITY CONTROL AGENTS DURING MEOR: This project work is titled the use of microbes as mobility control agents during MEOR.
Oil is an energy source that drives industrialization and continued economic growth. In many industrialized nations such as the United States, domestic oil production is in decline and the likelihood of discovering large, new oil reserves is low. This makes it essential that the remaining resources are to be used wisely. Microorganisms will play a pivotal role in determining the quality and effective use of petroleum resources. The problems encountered with petroleum exploitation should be viewed with microorganisms in mind.
Microbes BioSciences has over twenty years experience in the microbial enhanced oil recovery business. Its technology was developed and proved in the US and projects have been successfully completed in China, Argentina, Indonesia, Ecuador, Venezuela and the former Soviet Union. Its technology is based on isolating and culturing natural hydrocarbon reducing microorganisms and introducing these microbes into petroleum reservoirs through production and injection wells...{read more to download full material}
3. MICROBIAL ENHANCED HEAVY OIL RECOVERY BY THE AID OF INHABITANT SPORE-FORMING BACTERIA:Crude oil is the major source of energy worldwide being exploited as a source of economy, including Oman. As the price of crude oil increases and crude oil reserves collapse, exploitation of oil resources in mature reservoirs is essential for meeting future energy demands. As conventional recovery methods currently used have become less efficient for the needs, there is a continuous demand of developing a new technology which helps in the upgradation of heavy crude oil. Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is an important tertiary oil recovery method which is cost-effective and eco-friendly technology to drive the residual oil trapped in the reservoirs. The potential of microorganisms to degrade heavy crude oil to reduce viscosity is considered to be very effective in MEOR. Earlier studies of MEOR (1950s) were based on three broad areas: injection, dispersion, and propagation of microorganisms in petroleum reservoirs; selective degradation of oil components to improve flow characteristics; and production of metabolites by microorganisms and their effects. Since thermophilic spore-forming bacteria can thrive in very extreme conditions in oil reservoirs, they are the most suitable organisms for the purpose. This paper contains the review of work done with thermophilic spore-forming bacteria by different researchers.
5. STERILIZATION OF MICROORGANISM FOUND IN FOOD ITEM (TOMATOES) USING UV LIGHT: The source of a large outbreak of food borne disease related to Salmonella-contaminated tomatoes has been traced to Nigeria. Although the microbiological quality of tomatoes sampled was similar to that found in markets from developed countries, the presence of pathogens causes a risk of infection for consumers.
There are many ways to sterilize surfaces and materials to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms that attack tomatoes. One way is through the use of ultraviolet, or UV radiation, also called UV light. UV light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the microbiological quality of tomatoes using UV light...{read more to download full material}

7. EFFECT OF INSECTICIDE ON MANGO AND ITS CONTROL: Mangoes are an important smallholder and commercial crop in Nigeria, and one of the most important commercial crops in Nigeria. To achieve good yields with top quality fruits, mango growers currently rely on regular insecticide applications. This leads to increased costs, the reduction of natural predators and parasitoids that help control the insect pests, increased pest resistance to insecticides residues in the fruits and environmental pollution.
Green ants are efficient predators of a wide range of insect pests in many tropical fruit crops and they are abundant and widely distributed in Southeast Asia. Previous work in Indonesia and preliminary results from cashew crops in Nigeria indicate that green ants can control some of the main pests of mangoes...{read more to download full material}
8. ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF SOME ELEMENT CONTENT IN LINSEED OIL: This work is on elemental analysis of some element content in linseed oil. Linseed oil is a kind of biomass with high edible and medical value. It is rich in many kinds of nutrients and mineral elements. In order to explore the main characteristic constituents of mineral elements and fatty acids in Linseed oil, the study of analyzing the mineral elements and fatty acid composition from 10 different regions was carried out. The contents of seventeen kinds of mineral elements in Linseed oil were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The contents of fatty acids of the Linseed oil obtained under the same conditions were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The principal component analysis (PCA) method was applied to the study of analyzing the mineral elements and fatty acid compositions in flaxseeds. The difference in mineral elements and fatty acids of Linseed from different regions were discussed. The main characteristic constituents of mineral elements and fatty acids were analyzed. The results showed that K, Sr, Mg, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Se, Zn and Cu were the main characteristic constituents of the mineral elements. At the same time, C16:0, C18:0, C18: 2, C18:3, C20:0 and C20:1 were the main characteristic constituents of the fatty acids. The combination of ICP-MS, GS-MS and PCA can reveal the characteristics and difference of mineral elements and fatty acids from different regions. The results would provide important theoretical basis for the reasonable and effective utilization of flaxseed...{read more to download full material}
9. FUNGAL MICROBIOME IN FOOD, HEALTH AND DISEASES: Fungal microbiome includes some fungi, algae, and certain animals, such as rotifers. Many macroscopic animals and plants have microscopic juvenile stages. Some microbiologists also classify viruses as microorganisms, but others consider these as nonliving.
10. THE EVALUTION OF THE OPERATION OF NIGERIA IMMIGRATION SERVICES IN THE CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF EXOTIC DISEASE IN NIGERIA
(A CASE STUDY OF PORTHACOURT RIVER STATE):The researcher investigated in to the operation of Nigeria Immigration service to determine its suitability in the control and prevention of exotic discussion with portharcurt Immigration Commission as a practical case study. Without hesitation the research presented the projection and focus of this research in an introduction chapter while all already existing information about the research topic was addressed under the literature review.
11]. ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH SELECTED PASTEURIZED DRY MIL POWER: The bacteria quality of four (4) commercially available dry sachet milk powder (peak, cowbell, Blue boat and Nunu) were analysed in this study usinf the pour plate method. The result showed that peak, cowbell and blue boat were free of all forms of bacteria which Bacillus and Lactobacillus species were isolated from the Nunu brand. Although the microbial count was low, the fact remains that their presence in the product would certainly compromise it shelf life and there by constituting an health hazard especially to children and lactase intolerance people. In view of this result , there is need for the manufacturers to tighten in –process quality control checks and for government food regulatory agencies such as National Agency for food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFSAC) to carry out routine checks from time to time on these milk producing companies to ensure consumer safety standards are not compromised...{read more to download full material}
