I really appreciate your advice Engineer GP,

I would go for the Rugged serie.

Thanks

Gptech:

Generator is similar to the SPG 3000E2 in fuel consumption. They have similar engine. I think the Rugged has a more turns on its coils because it's slightly more powerful than the spg3000. My neighbour uses it, just try and get the original fakes everywhere.

Hello Engineer GP,

I would like to buy a Sumec Rugged 3910EX.

How much will it cost and what's the fuel consumption and quality ?

Cons/Pros ?

Thanks, I patiently await your reply.

The following reasons can be it dear;

Please Note:
This are all from a different school of thought, take it with a pich of salt.

1) He probably has ed a deadly virus like AIDS/HIV and had transfer into to you through sex. After he noticed what has happened, he bailed out of the ship and gave you a life jacket, so you won't drown, he has a soft heart and don't want to have a guilty conscience.


2) You have Favour on your head, that's to say you are fertile ground, when he sows a seed of financial favour into your life/Bank he reaps a bountiful harvest. Please get this point, I'm not taking about yahoo or ritual, just the biblical of seed time and harvest time.

3) Diabolical means or method.
E.g Yahoo, Yahoo +, Rituals, Destiny thief/exchange, etc.

He is feeling guilty and ended the relationship and keeps sending you money as part of his social responsibility to you, a little form of compensation to aid you in the battle ahead.

Please get an experience solicitor to handle her case.

Moral lesson;

LiveWIRE Nigeria has recruited and trained 34 lead trainers to enable the programme to expand nationally. A special two day 'Train the Trainer' programme was held for the new trainers, representing 17 training organisations from the states of Rivers, Delta, Lagos and Federal Capital Territory.

Up to now, the LiveWIRE Nigeria programme has only been available within the Niger Delta, however in response to the overwhelming demand from young people outside the region, the decision has been taken to deliver the programme nationally during 2014.

In addition to facilitating the national expansion of the LiveWIRE Nigeria programme, the training enabled the participants to understand and buy into the Shell LiveWIRE v2 approach to enterprise development, including using Shell LiveWIRE's 'Value Chain Briefings' which young entrepreneurs to align their business model to take up opportunities in the various value chains of Nigeria's growing economic sectors, namely: agriculture; manufacturing; oil and gas; retail and wholesale; and telecommunications.

Delivered in Port Harcourt by Karen Bellis and Dr Dawn Cranswick of the Shell LiveWIRE International team at PNE, with from the LiveWIRE Nigeria team, the 'Train the Trainer' course introduced Shell LiveWIRE v2 using various exercises and examples. The training comprised numerous activities to encourage participation and maximise learning including: SWOT analysis; Q&A sessions; group discussions; experiential training techniques; role play; short presentations on value chain identification; tips on facilitation; and, participatory learning techniques.

As a result of the training the LiveWIRE Nigeria trainers will play a key role in providing budding young entrepreneurs across the country with access to the essential business knowledge and customised they need to transform their enterprising ideas into viable and sustainable growing businesses that create employment.

The training was well received by the participants, whose comments included:

"I better understand why businesses fail: lack of a comprehensive business plan; lack of a business continuity initiative (sustainability); and, lack of a value chain idea.”

"I appreciate the creative atmosphere in which everyone was involved in sharing their different ideas in the value chain.”

Emmanuel Anyim, Head of Social Performance, Shell Nigeria, said, "The LiveWIRE 'Train the Trainer' course holds the key to the success of future LiveWIRE programmes, especially the v2 which seeks to leverage on the value chain of the top five sectors contributing to the nation's GDP.”

Karen Bellis of the Shell LiveWIRE International team at PNE said, "The 'Train the Trainer' workshop enabled the best trainers from 17 organisations to develop an excellent understanding and buy-in to Shell LiveWIRE v2.

This will enable many more young people across the country to access the they need to start and grow businesses which will create employment and contribute to the country's economic growth.”

NIGERIA IS ONE COUNTRY THAT Doesn't VALUE ENGINEERING, THE NIGERIA FACTOR IS KILLING ENGINEERING BODIES LIKE COREN,NSE,NIMECH ETC

DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE PLEASE HELP TO THE GROWTH OF ENGINEERING PRACTICE IN THIS COUNTRY, THE OP COMPARISON IS NOT PERFECT BUT IT HAVE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THE POINT OF DEBATE, HEALTHY DISCUSSIONS SHOULD EMERGE TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM FACING ALL PROFESSIONAL DISCIPLINE IN NIGERIA.

I Have list some benefits of ENGINEERING, since medicine is the focal point of the debate.

note: Am only going to use some area of mechanical engineering like robotic engineering and biomechanics engineering to prove a point
only for people who can read and digest information.

SIX APPLICATION OF ENGINEERING TO MEDICINE
According to a recent report by Credence Research, the global medical robotics market was valued at $7.24 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to $20 billion by 2023. A key driver for this growth is demand for using robots in minimally invasive surgeries, especially for neurologic, orthopedic, and laparoscopic procedures.

As a result, a wide range of robots is being developed to serve in a variety of roles within the medical environment. Robots specializing in human treatment include surgical robots and rehabilitation robots. The field of assistive and therapeutic robotic devices is also expanding rapidly. These include robots that help patients rehabilitate from serious conditions like strokes, empathic robots that assist in the care of older or physically/mentally challenged individuals.

Below are six top uses for robots in the field of medicine today.
1. Telepresence
Physicians use robots to help them examine and treat patients in rural or remote locations, giving them a “telepresence” in the room. “Specialists can be on call, via the robot, to answer questions and guide therapy from remote locations,” writes Dr. Bernadette Keefe, a Chapel Hill, NC-based healthcare and medicine consultant. “The key features of these robotic devices include navigation capability within the ER, and sophisticated cameras for the physical examination.”

2. Surgical Assistants
These remote-controlled robots assist surgeons with performing operations, typically minimally invasive procedures. “The ability to manipulate a highly sophisticated robotic arm by operating controls, seated at a workstation out of the operating room, is the hallmark of surgical robots,” says Keefe. Additional applications for these surgical-assistant robots are continually being developed, as more advanced 3DHD technology gives surgeons the spatial references needed for highly complex surgery, including more enhanced natural stereo visualization, combined with augmented reality.

3. Rehabilitation Robots
These play a crucial role in the recovery of people with disabilities, including improved mobility, strength, coordination, and quality of life. These robots can be programmed to adapt to the condition of each patient as they recover from strokes, traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, or neurobehavioral or neuromuscular diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Virtual reality integrated with rehabilitation robots can also improve balance, walking, and other motor functions.

4. Medical Transportation Robots
Supplies, medications, and meals are delivered to patients and staff by these robots, thereby optimizing communication between doctors, hospital staff , and patients. “Most of these machines have highly dedicated capabilities for self-navigation throughout the facility,” states Manoj Sahi, a research analyst with Tractica, a market intelligence firm that specializes in technology. “There is, however, a need for highly advanced and cost-effective indoor navigation systems based on sensor fusion location technology in order to make the navigational capabilities of transportation robots more robust.”

5. Sanitation and Disinfection Robots
With the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and outbreaks of deadly infections like Ebola, more healthcare facilities are using robots to clean and disinfect surfaces. “Currently, the primary methods used for disinfection are UV light and hydrogen peroxide vapors,” says Sahi. “These robots can disinfect a room of any bacteria and viruses within minutes.”

6. Robotic Prescription Dispensing Systems
The biggest advantages of robots are speed and accuracy, two features that are very important to pharmacies. “Automated dispensing systems have advanced to the point where robots can now handle powder, liquids, and highly viscous materials, with much higher speed and accuracy than before,” says Sahi.

Future Models
Advanced robots continue to be designed for an ever-expanding range of applications in the healthcare space. For example, a research team led by Gregory Fischer, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, is developing a compact, high-precision surgical robot that will operate within the bore of an MRI scanner, as well as the electronic control systems and software that go with it, to improve prostate biopsy accuracy.

To develop robots that can work inside an MRI scanner, Fischer and his team have had to overcome several significant technical challenges. Since the MRI scanner uses a powerful magnet, the robot, including all of its sensors and actuators, must be made from nonferrous materials. "On top of all this, we had to develop the communications protocols and software interfaces for controlling the robot, and interface those with higher-level imaging and planning systems," says Fischer. “The robot must be easy for a non-technical surgical team to sterilize, set up, and place in the scanner. This all added up to a massive systems integration project which required many iterations of the hardware and software to get to that point."

In other research, virtual reality is being integrated with rehabilitation robots to expand the range of therapy exercise, increasing motivation and physical treatment effects. Exciting discoveries are being made with nanoparticles and nanomaterials. For example, nanoparticles can traverse the “blood-brain barrier.” In the future, nanodevices can be loaded with “treatment payloads” of medicine that can be injected into the body and automatically guided to the precise target sites within the body. Soon, ingestible, broadband-enabled digital tools will be available that use wireless technology to help monitor internal reactions to medications.
“Existing technologies are being combined in new ways to streamline the efficiency of healthcare operations,” says Keefe. “While at the same time, emerging robotic technologies are being harnessed to enable intriguing breakthroughs in medical care.”


MECHANICAL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE


Engineering as a professional has been on the backbone to the development of the world and co
Mechanical engineering, with its scientific theories and mathematical analysis methods, have found itself in other disciplines and has become an essential core in understanding several problems. One of those disciplines is medicine and biology.

What does mechanics serve as other technologies, particularly medical and biological sciences? Mechanical engineering covers a wide variety of subjects and its relation to medical technologies started when engineers wanted to use mechanical engineering principles to solve certain problems in medicine.

These technologies range from small individual parts to large systems that can be involved in almost every aspect of technology. Mechanical engineering covers topics related to energy, fluid mechanics, dynamics, robotics, solid mechanics, heat transfer, design and manufacturing, maintenance and control. This diverse background helps mechanical engineers, as well as scientists in the mechanical field, to play a critical role in solving global issues and challenges of many areas of interest outside mechanical technologies.

Medical areas such as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics would not have emerged without the principles of mechanical engineering. In fact, mechanical engineering principles are now deemed fundamental in the understanding areas in immunology, orthopedics and cardiovascular physiology. The combination of new techniques and disciplines have paved the way for the merging of mechanical engineering and medicine. Such notion would be hard to imagine two decades ago.

Current Technologies
Biomechanics is the application of mechanical principles in the study of living organisms including their kinematics (description of motion) and kinetics (actions of forces associated with motion), it views the human body as a collection of levers, made of bones which are moved by its muscles. In sport and exercise, where mechanics can be involved to analyze the performance of athletes based on their interaction with the equipment.

According to the scale in which the study or the application is done, we can distinguish between biomechanics and mechanobiology. Biomechanics focuses more on body segments and its interaction with the surrounding environment while mechanobiology is concerned more with the level of cells — it dwells on the behavior of physical forces and transfer in cell and/or tissues.

Nanotechnology is the understanding the behavior of matter at infinitesimal dimensions called nanometers (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter; a human hair is about 75000 nanometers in diameter), where incredible properties enable emergent applications. Considering combination between nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, nanotechnology covers sensing, imaging, measuring, manufacturing, control and manipulating nanoscale matter. In mechanics, the integration of nanotechnology is focused on three main topics including nanostructures (carbon nanotubes), Nano-fluids and microfluidics, and nanorobotics. In following, we present the application of these Nano-mechanics topics in medicine and biology.

Carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanoscale structures made of pure carbon that are long and thin and shaped like tubes. These molecules are same sized and structured in chemical bonding and aligned by Van der Walls forces into ropes. The length of CNTs can reach a few millimeters while its diameter is in the order of a few nanometers.


Cancer is arguably one of the most complicated diseases in the world. World Health Organization (WHO) declares cancer as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million cases in 2012. Anticancer drugs like Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy often have physiological, biochemical and cellular toxic side effects. Several methods in many fields, including carbon nanotubes, is a subject of many efforts to reduce this problem. Carbon nanotubes have unique mechanical properties that strongly minimize the effects of many therapeutics.

Taxoid is a chemotherapeutic agent to block proliferating cancer cells. Carbon nanotubes have been explored as a tool in nanocarriers for the exploration of novel drugs. There are large varieties of nanoscale drug delivery vectors like single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). As CNTs are needle-like shape, they have been involved in injection and integration into target cells. Also, CNTs are combined with the anticancer agent toxoid as a cleavable linker. In order to ensure the target cell, the drug is transported via endocytosis and released into the cell. Microtubules interact with the drug as evaluated by flow cytometry thus formatting a stable microtubule-toxoid complex.

Another novel application of carbon nanotubes is a drug delivery method called smart drug delivery. This is a method of high recognition of cancer cells or cancer tissues in order to deliver medication with high precision. It is efficient for the lymphatic system; metastases of certain cancers can be effectively inhibited by subcutaneous injection. Adsorption on the PAA-CNT surface is possible through coprecipitation of Fe3O4-based magnetic nanoparticles, polyacrylic acid (PAA) can be added to CNTs to become highly hydraulic.

In the “longboat” anticancer system, carbon nanotubes are used for cancer treatment based on a functionalized single-walled nanotube attached to a complex mixture of cisplatin and folic acid derivative via covalent or noncovalent bonding to comprise the “longboat” which has been reported to be taken up by cancer cells via endocytosis.

Computational Fluid Dynamics
Another area where mechanics show promise in medicine is computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an engineering tool that connects mechanics to mathematics and software programming to execute simulation performing how a fluid (liquid or gas) flows based on Navier-Stokes equations which are the main mathematical formulation modeling all phenomena of fluid mechanics.



The solution of these equations is elaborated by implementing structured and unstructured meshes using numerical methods such as (finite volume method, and finite element method). CFD has been around since the early 20th century as a tool analyzing air flows around cars, aircraft and performing the cooling systems of data centers and electronic chips.

CFD software like Ansys, Solidworks, OpenFOAM, ADINA, etc. are playing a key role in medicine and biology, where researchers create virtual reconstructions of different human organs, surgical options, and blood flow system. It is common to combine fluid dynamics results with a simplified model of the human body such as the vascular and pulmonary systems. Simulations can help determine, with an acceptable accuracy, the distribution of blood across the arteries including possible energy losses at surgical connections.

Challenges and Outlooks
Nanotechnology has advanced in theoretical and practical research in all fields of biomedicine. Cancer treatment gained new grounds as the line between nanotechnology and immunotherapy continue to blur. Carbon nanotubes antibodies now exist that can identify and destroy tumor cells. Many experiments have been done to show the possibility of anticancer immune reaction increase of tumor cell by using CNTs as delivery Media.

The ongoing development of computer technology allows the increase the mesh resolution of numerical models used in computational fluid dynamics. Indeed the blocker that inhibits the growth of such promising technology is the technology of computers. But as long as Moore’s Law is true, we can expect more advancement in this field in the future. This is also true for mechanical engineering in biology and medicine as a whole.

“ Four years are not enough to show what the President can offer . We believe that another four years will bring out the best in him . The first four years are a very difficult period , and we believe that as things are stabilising , he will take Nigeria to the next level''


Shameless Governors!, I'm certain by the time he's through taking us to the 'next level' only half the population will be alive to tell the story. Four more years in Aso rock will be CATASTROPHIC!.

The reasons for the governors asking the president for a second tenure, is simply because most of them are corrupt and have skeleton in their cupboard and if they lose the top postion of the country to PDP (Newton third law will take place) just as PDP never expected APC to be in power right now. Karma is a bitch and is best served cold

Everyone of them is fighting for their future and don't have the interest of the people at heart.

The problem of this country starts with leadership and ends with corruption.

Because what we have in this country since 1960 till date have been rulers and not leaders

pls help! I was mistakenly mobilized for service 2016 while I still had an outstanding course. Now(2017) , I have cleared the outstanding and results are out. I have also done my clearance. when I checked the Nysc portal today, I saw my name there but my date of graduation is 2016, what can I do? should I go ahead with registration?

Before you take any further step to It would be best to NYSC through their details , ignorance is no excuse because the registration will not end till on the 12th of November because after submission on the portal it would be difficult to rectify all the hotspot like Lagos and FCT might be occupied by now. calm down and get to the root for proper solution.

Note- just my personal opinion

Good evening guys, pls I av done the email registration, received a mail in my box. I clicked the message for confirmation, I then did the registration in which I entered my jamb reg number and matric number with email and . Nysc confirmed my details. Everything was OK, but since morning av been trying to but all am getting is invalid email or code. Pls help

Just go back to the previous mail sent by NYSC and click the link and start the process from there , it happen to me today after filling the form the first time
Good luck

What is he saying , the world is moving towards greener energy you still dey mention generator . Mr fashola since he said no more generator for your house and office i suggest you go for solar s till you raise our peak level to 30000MW rocket science

In my opinion when issues relating to violence and killing happens in our communities, especially in the northern part of Nigeria the perpetrators roam the street freely because the law or police always fail to do their job right from the Sharia killing (kano,Kaduna, jos e.t.c) to the recent herdsman, no one has been booked or arrested. The families of the victims feel the pain all through their life time from one generation to another and the government keep telling us not to take action, due to their lack of ignorance of people fundamental human right. I am not in of violence but I believe a generation whose Fathers,brothers,uncles,nephews and sons have committed the crimes still roam feely everyday this issues will not end.
