Online Vehicle Parking Reservation System A Case Study: People's Park Kyebando, Kampala Uganda

The Online Vehicle Parking Reservation System (OVPRS) is a system that enables customers/drivers to reserve a parking space. It also allows the customers/drivers to view the parking status at kyebando people’s park. It was developed because the congestion and collision of the vehicle, the system was developed for Kyebando People’s Park located in Kyebando Therefore the project aimed at solving such problems by designing a web based system that will enable the customers/drivers to make a r...

Impact of National Fadama Development Project on Agricultural Production in Taraba State, Nigeria

Specifically, the study identified the: patterns of distribution of the Project (NFDP); Factors responsible for the distribution of the project (NFDP); spatial impact of the project (NFDP) on agricultural production and trend in agricultural production within the period of implementation of the Project (NFDP). The study adopted a survey research, and the...

Impact of Abattoir Effluent on the Quality of Asata and Owo Streams in Enugu, South Eastern Nigeria

ABSTRACT  Abattoir activities are accompanied by some negative influence on the environment if not properly managed. The impact of abattoir effluent on the quality of Asata and Owo (a tributary to Asata) streams in Enugu was studied. Field observation revealed that the inhabitants of the study area make use of the stream water. Two sets of questionnaire were administered. Hundred copies of one set of questionnaire was administered to the people downstream to obtain information on the various...

Development of a National Social Security Numbering System

Abstract  This research work deals with the Development of a National Social Security Numbering System (NSSN). A typical Social Security Number (SSN) is a 9-digit number configured and assigned to citizens and legal migrants of a country for the purpose of uniquely identifying them to aid easy administration of a nation. In principle, a National Social Security Number can be used to track citizens, permanent residents, temporary residents, legal emigrants for the purpose of work, taxation, g...

Accident Information Management System with I-Report Facilities

ABSTRACT  This project is an accident information management system with i-report facilities. Accident information is necessary as accident rate has increased tremendously and lives and properties are destroyed every day in Nigeria by road accidents. In other to reduce its reoccurrence, proper documentation of accident information is necessary. An accident information system enables researchers, government and insurance companies who are interested in accident data to collect data from the d...

Geophysical Investigation of Abakaliki Area using Aeromagnetic Method

ABSTRACT  Aeromagnetic data over Abakaliki area of the lower Benue trough of Nigeria was interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively using Oasis montaj software (version: 6.4.2 H.J).The interpretation unveiled basic intrusive bodies like dyke, lacolyte and batholyte in the study area. It also showed fault zone which trends North East to south western (NE-SW) part of the study area. Quantitative interpretation of the area was carried out by source parameter imaging and forward and inverse mo...

Enhancement of Image Steganography Using Compression Techniques

ABSTRACT  In a world of digital technology, maintaining the security of the secret data has become a great challenge. One way to achieve this is to encrypt the message before it is sent. But encryption draws the attention of third parties, which may cause the third party to seek to break the encryption and to detect the original message. Another way is steganography, steganography is the art and science of writing hidden Messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended ...

ASSESSMENT OF DEPTH TO LEAD-ZINC DEPOSIT IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN BENUE TROUGH USING INTEGRATED GEOPHYSICAL METHODS

This study employed the techniques of electrical resistivity, induced polarization and aeromagneticmethods to investigate and quantify lead-zinc ore deposits. The electrical methods of geophysicalexploration were employed to measure thickness of overburden as well as width of the ore across thestudy area. IP method was used to investigate dissemination of lead-zinc sulphides. Aeromagneticdata over the area was acquired and processed to detect lead-zinc lode as well as magnetic anomaliespresen...

Query Processing and Optimization in Distributed Database Systems

Summary  Query processing is an important concern in the field of distributed databases. The main problem is: if a query can be  decomposed into subqueries that require operations at geographically separated databases, determine the sequence and  the sites for performing this set of operations such that the operating cost (communication cost and processing cost) for  processing this query is minimized. The problem is complicated by the fact that query processing not only depends on th...

Chemical Characterization of Some Flavonoids from Trianthema prot ulacstrum and phoenix dactylefrera and Their Biological Activity

Abstract  In the present work, the stems of Trianthema portulacastrum and Phoenix d actylefera pollens were extracted with 95% ethanol at ambient temperature. Qualitative tests on alcoholic extract of Trianthema portulacastrum stems re vealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, carb ohydrates and glycosides. The crude extracts of Trianthema portulacastrum and Phoenix daclylefera w ere initially purified by column chromatography. Further purification was ac com...

Credit Scoring Using Data Mining Classification Application on Sudanese Banks

Abstract  The main aim of this thesis is to develop suitable and high performance Credit Scoring Models (CSMs) to assess credit risk of personal loans for the Sudanese commercial banks using data mining techniques. Two Sudanese credit datasets were constructed. These datasets were provided by Agricultural Bank of Sudan and Al Salam Commercial Bank. In addition to these two datasets, a German credit dataset was also employed in this research as a benchmarking dataset. Three data mining classi...

Improving Soba Solar Contact Cover for Fixed PV Modules by Using Acrylic Sheets

Abstract  In this research specifications of acrylic plate had been examined to evaluate its reliability to be used as alternative for the glass cover in the SobaSolar fixed PV modules. The maximum power of a fixed PV module composed of × . solar cell panel in outdoor test was found to be about: 3.42 Watts, that is when acrylic cover was attached to the module replacing the normal glass. This results showed that no significant change in the maximum power was made by using acrylic glass cove...
