ABSTRACT, Family background has been enlightened as of great importance in molding the performance of academic performance of students in schools worldwide. This study therefore investigated the influence of family background on student’s academic performance in science subjects in secondary schools in Makindye division of Kampala capital city of Uganda. This study focused on the influence of parental marital status, level of education of the parents and family income on student’s academi...
ABSTRACT Data has increased at an exponential rate and has outpaced our capability to analyze it. However, new ways of data analysis, which thrive in big data such as Machine Learning (ML) have emerged. This study explores Machine Learning by creating a Machine Learning algorithm based on Support Vectors. This was done by converting mathematical formulations into a computer algorithm that was then used for data classification. The algorithm was evaluated and compared to other algorithms. The ...
ABSTRACT Malaria is endemic in Sanyati, accounting to approximately 3000 patients both outpatient attendance and admissions diagnosed of the disease yearly and 15% of all hospital deaths. The research analyzed the efficacy of prognostic risk factors in classifying malaria patients into low and high risk groups using discriminant analysis: a case study of Sanyati Baptist Hospital. Secondary data was extracted from the inpatient morbidity and mortality register available in the information depa...
Abstract Failure to characterize autochthonous sheep breeds may result to the extinction of the important natural resource which can easily adapt to the local variation in climate change. Environmental factors and some human practices especially artificial insemination is leading to the evolving of different pedigrees.Price determination is an important aspect in designing pricing models, but what really contributes to the weight of autochthonous sheep breed remains as the major question whic...
Abstract We perform a detailed physical analysis for a class of exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. The linear equation of state consistent with quark stars has been incorporated in the model. The physical analysis of the exact solutions is performed by considering the charged anisotropic stars for the particular nonsingular exact model obtained by Maharaj, Sunzu and Ray. In performing such an analysis we regain masses obtained by previous researchers for isotropic and anisotr...
Abstract Introduction Cultivation of spirulina at commercial-scales relies on analytical grade–based media, which are expensive and so are the product. Purpose This study assessed the biomass, proximate composition, and other useful compounds in Spirulina (Arthrospira fusiformis) produced with a cost-effective culture medium (LCMA), and the results were compared with those from a standard Zarrouk medium– grown spirulina. Methods The LCMA medium was formulated by using a commercial NPK10-2...
Abstract: In this article, a group acceptance sampling plan (GASP) for lot resubmitting is developed to ensure quality of the product lifetime assuming that the product’s lifetime follows the half logistic distribution. The parameters of the GASP are determined by satifying the specified producer’s and consumer’s risks according to the experiment termination time and the number of testers. A comparison between this proposed group sampling and the ordinary group sampling plan is discusse...
ABSTRACT The incidence of the print and electronic media reports on violence and abuse in the domestic setting heightened the interest for this study and has therefore served as a major source of motivation for this research work. The work seeks to investigate the causes of domestic violence vis-à-vis the consequences of such acts. The major findings indicated that domestic violence in Ghana can best be described as violence against women and children. It was also discovered that domestic ...
The purpose of this work is not to present a collection of routines that might appear in a professional software library; rather, the intention is to introduce a method of solving linear algebraic equations using Pascal Programming. This dissertation solves linear algebraic equations by Cramer's rule method using Pascal Programming. The basis for this method of solution was obtained from the knowledge of numerical method, such a method lies within the discipline of numerical analysis.
ABSTRACT My motivation to embark on this project work was triggered by the academic performance of the students in St. Joseph Senior High Secondary/Technical. The main objectives of this study were to compare the performance of male and female students, use principal components to determine indices for ranking the students in descending order. The Data used in the analysis were sourced from the students’ of St. Joseph Senior High Secondary/Technical third term terminal examination results...
