ABSTRACT Shannon introduced error detection and correction codes to address the growing need of eciency and reliability of code vectors. Ideals in algebraic number system have mainly been used to preserve the notion of unique factorization in rings of algebraic integers and to prove Fermat's Last Theorem. Generators of codes of ideals of polynomial rings have not been fully characterized. Ideals in Noetherian rings are closed in polynomial addition and multiplication. This property has been u...
Abstract This study investigates barriers to a successful IT governance implementation. The paper is not purely theoretical but a practical means of looking at ways to increase IT governance efficiency as a guideline to serve as a best practice of IT for better competition in the market.
ABSTRACT Over the weekend while chatting way forward with friends, on how we could invest or venture into business, someone mentioned something about the table banking concept. Interestingly I realized from the conversation, most of us didn’t understand it at all. I mean, what is it anyway? How does It work? How is it different from the chama (informal saving and investments groups) concept we know so well here in Kenya? I remember for example some of my friends in Campus who had Chama’s ...
ABSTRACT The impact of industrial effluent discharged into Khami Dam was assessed through physicochemical parameters and also by bio-monitoring of benthic macro-invertebrates. Samples for physico-chemical parameters were measured at three sites over a period of six months and sampling was done once each month. Composite samples of 1000ml for nitrates and phosphates were collected using a beaker on all sites and placed on schott bottles and placed on ice filled cooler boxes and were then take...
Abstract In this paper, comparison between the use of botanical methods of pest control and dipterex 25% grounded in controlling maize stem borer was done. An experiment was carried out at Midlands State University main campus during the rainy season of 2015-2016. A split-split plot design was used with two nitrogen levels as whole plot factor (0kg/ha and 100kg/ha), two varieties of maize as subplot factor (SC627 SeedCo and Pioneer 30G95) and six treatments of maize stem borer control method...
ABSTRACT Sustainable exploitation of renewable resources such as marine sh has been a con- cern to both ecologists and economists with threats of species extinction due to over - exploitation a stark reality. Fish exhibits co-operative and social characteristics among individuals which increases its survival through predator surveillance and enhanced spawning. Overshing compromises this con - specic interactions and socialism. In this study, a mathematical model of a shery with an Allee eect ...
ABSTRACT Zimbabwe has a fairly developed maternal-care delivery system that is served by public and private hospitals at district, provincial and national level. The public health-care system is the largest provider of maternal-care services and caters for the majority of the population but this is done in a resource-restricted context, typical of a developing context. In this context, this research sought to establish the potential of Mobile Health Technologies in Zimbabwe‘s maternal hea...
Abstract This project report outlines the development of Maasai Mara HR Management system whose main goal was to analyze some of the challenges faced by the Human resource department and come up with a system which could automate the operations. The report has seven chapters and the first one being an introduction part which details the background of the system, the problem statement, objectives, scope, justification, budget, time schedule and the system requirements. The report also...
ABSTRACT Trackforce Safety Compliance System is a system that will be used to ensure that all the contractors and employees who are contracted to perform different task are qualified and in good health to perform the assigned tasks. The system will ensure that before the contractor or employee commences their work, they have undergone the necessary physical checkup, test including environmental awareness of the different hazards that they are exposed to in the heavily mechanised environment...
ABSTRACT One of the most popular languages in the web domain is Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). The language has evolved over time with the latest development being the introduction of CSS preprocessors which has made it possible to write CSS codes in a faster and efficient way. Therefore, the migration from CSS to CSS preprocessors by the frontend developers has been tremendous. There are several CSS preprocessors available in the industry with the Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (SASS) beco...
ABSTRACT A measure of dispersion is a statistical tool used to define the distribution of various datasets mainly from measures of central tendency. Some notable measures of dispersion from the mean are; average deviation, mean deviation, variance, and standard deviation. However, from previous studies, it has been established that the aforementioned measures are not absolutely perfect in estimating average variation from the mean. For instance, variance gives estimates which are of different...
ABSTRACT Sugarcane production is important in our day to day life though it causes water pollution which reduces the water quality. Despite its threat to water quality, not much is known about the impacts of agronomic inputs on macro invertebrates in Nzoia sugar Company Nucleus ecosystem. Nzoia sugar company nucleus receives water from Kuywa River which is a tributary of Nzoia River and discharges a diverse array of pollutants to the river. Studies on Nzoia sugar company nucleus to determine ...
ABSTRACT Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic solids and crystalline amorphous materials whose molecules are held together by covalent bond and /or ionic bonds. They are usually; hard, brittle, stable to high temperatures, less dense than metals, more elastic and have very high melting points. Ceramics are mostly made from clay soil. Ceramic water filtration involves the use of a porous ceramic (annealed clay) medium to filter microbes and other contaminants from water. The ceramic water filte...
ABSTRACT Thermodynamic properties of the multiband high critical temperature superconductors have been describedpreviously with simple standard BCS expressions corresponding to and bands, but the microscopic mechanisms that allow superconductivity to persist at high temperatures remain unknown. Studies on two band superconductors have previously been described through one band model; this approach has not adequately addressed cases of inter-band scattering for superconductors at high temperat...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to develop a system that can help farmers and garden enthusiasts to manage their greenhouses by the use of a network of sensors connected together and controlled by a central hub. This complies with the world vision of connecting as much devices together as possible that has been dubbed the Internet of Things phenomenon. The system makes use of sensors that a controlled by a central controller that sends the data to a server that streams the data to an ...
