Science/Technology / Re: Xenobots, World’s First Living Robots, Can Reproduce, Scientists Say by techmatas: 11:08am On Aug 19, 2022 |
Xenobots, also known as the world’s first living robots, have the capability to reproduce, according to a recent study from the University of Vermont, Tufts University and Harvard University. Researchers published their study earlier this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Xenobots are made up of a collection of frog egg cells that can function as one tiny unit. They are engineered inside of a petri dish and can be programmed to move. Researchers recently found out that when they sprinkled more cells inside a petri dish, the existing xenobots, acting as bulldozers, push the cells together to create a separate xenobot. Although the tiny organisms can't feed themselves or respond to stimuli, scientists describe them as "lifeforms" or "living machines" due to the fact that they can feed off of energy supplied by their cells, move with intent and repair their injuries. The xenobots were first designed in 2020 on a supercomputer at the University of Vermont and then assembled and tested by biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaECoSx3jTc Although the tiny organisms can't feed themselves or respond to stimuli, scientists describe them as "lifeforms" or "living machines" due to the fact that they can feed off of energy supplied by their cells, move with intent and repair their injuries.

Science/Technology / Xenobots, World’s First Living Robots, Can Reproduce, Scientists Say by techmatas: 11:07am On Aug 19, 2022 |
A xenobot is a robot made up of skin cells of frog eggs instead of metals or plastics. The xenobot, which is on millimeter wide, is described as a "reconfigurable organism," according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "At the moment they don’t do much," Kriegman said. "We can get them to walk across the petri dish very, very slowly or swim through watery fluid very, very slowly."

Politics / The Dangote Petroleum Refinery by techmatas: 6:43am On Aug 01, 2022 |
The Dangote petroleum Refinery is a 650,000 barrels per day (BPD) integrated refinery project under construction in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos, Nigeria. It is expected to be Africa’s biggest oil refinery and the world’s biggest single-train facility. The Pipeline Infrastructure at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery is the largest anywhere in the world, with 1,100 kilometers to handle 3 Billion Standard Cubic Foot of gas per day. The Refinery alone has a 400MW Power Plant that is able to meet the total power requirement of Ibadan DisCo. The Refinery will meet 100% of the Nigerian requirement of all refined products and also have a surplus of each of these products for export. Dangote Petroleum Refinery is a multi-billion dollar project that will create a market for $11 Billion per annum of Nigerian Crude. It is designed to process Nigerian crude with the ability to also process other crudes. source http://advanxis.com/blog-news/the-dangote-petroleum-refinery for similar stories visit: http://advanxis.com/blog-news/news

jjxxx:Its a very good one that you have already developed all of these skills as well as some basic safety training for embarking on an offshore trip. That said, you need to expand your networking skill both online(social media---LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) and offline. Gain more specific skills like Instrumentation, controls, et al. They are really hotcake in the industry and a training in any of those will even expand your network further. |

tensazangetsu20: some relevant training/certification and focus on search of job within the maritime sector may just pull the magic. grow your connection through LinkedIn and other relevant social media groups. there are a whole lot of jobs in the maritime/offshore location but you need to be qualified for it. The maritime/offshore covers a whole lots of fields and involves many disciplines ranging from engineering, logistics, artisans, catering, etc. |

saintkeppy: Deepwater has thrown some light on this and I think I agree with here in a lot areas. modern Shipbuilding involves a lot of technology and requires some time to get it rights. fixing our steel industry will also provide an economic of scale to the shipbuilding industry and propel it faster. |
Politics / Re: Largest Oil FPSO In The World; Nigeria Egina, Makes Top Of The List by techmatas: 10:41pm On Jun 12, 2022 |
deepwater: quite an insightful expose you've made. just as you pointed out the availability of cheap steel, we may start by addressing the fundamental issue of providing steel for the local shipbuilder. We have the raw material and relatively cheap labour to make available the cheap steel. Sadly, our steel industry is a not really coming by and I don't really know why that industry is not attractive to investors both local and foreign. Steel is a common denominator for massive Industrialization. Talking about local content, it does not necessarily means local technology because a profit oriented investor may not like to experiment unproven technology with his money. local content provide a means of allowing the indigenous companies and local to participate in a project where they can learn and acquire experience and competency with the hope of building capacity and independence. Though there are still a lot of areas need to be strengthen in the local content policy in other to make it more effective. Also note, you need to build industrial base before you can keep engaging people after each project. those Koreans in SHI, HHI, etc., before the end of a project they will be telling you that they are gearing up for another project whereas the Nigerian counterpart does not know where he would head to after the present project. the difference is that they already have the base and advantage. It is not late we can start building the base by encouraging investors in the steel industry, encouraging and having some level of confidence to our indigenous technology. As you rightly pointed out we just need to start from somewhere and the earlier we did the better |

saintkeppy: yeah FPSOs are actually for the big boys in the game of oil and gas production. In fact the cost of the vessel itself (FPSO) is change compare to the field development which can be more than five times the vessel's cost....The indigenous oil operators may not have the necessary will withal and experience to attract investors into FPSO and Deepwater field development. Korea has taken over the Business of FPSO building in recent time Both SHI and HHI seems to dominate the industry. I wish Nigeria industries will wake so that we will no just be extraction base for crying out loud, we have been in the oil and gas business for over 60yrs lets begin to tap from all the value chains the oil and gas industry has to provide |
Politics / Re: Largest Oil FPSO In The World; Nigeria Egina, Makes Top Of The List by techmatas: 9:01am On Jun 12, 2022 |
deepwater: Woooow! did'nt know that we have some experienced deepWaterians in the building. Am really enjoying the quality discussion and I think it is high time we have more Nigerian professionals and indigenous companies get involved in the deep water business because that is the way to go. Thanks though to local content that is encouraging local participation in the deep water projects and activities. |
