Accurate meter readings, timely and correct bills have become an important aspect of water metering systems. Additionally, anomalies such as leakage and bursts in water pipelines have significant consequences to the environment and lead to financial constraints to the water companies. Since monitoring leakages and bursts in the water distribution networks, capturing accurate and dependable measurements for billing, troubleshooting and analysis is a challenging task, the need to develop a reli...
ABSTRACT In an academic setting, it is important for students to be well informed about their academic status and progress regularly. All first year students are provided with school catalogs which hold information about their majors and the courses required by them to pass for them to obtain their particular degrees. Students are given these catalogs only once and many of them tend to misplace them after a few semesters. Hence, they lose information on the requirements they need to obtain a...
ABSTRACT In the world we live in today, the reduction in data generally has seen a great rise. This is because of the numerous advantages that comes with working with smaller efficient data instead of the original large dataset. With this analogy, we can adopt Dimensionality reduction in computer science emphasizing on reducing computer memory in order to have more storage capacity on a computer. An example of this would be to reduce digital images which are then stored in 2D matrices. Dimen...
ABSTRACT American University of Nigeria (AUN) has many web application used every day both by students and faculty. For students, faculty and other staff to know about a course or department; they have to visit the AUN website and they can only have little information about them. This problem is faced by students, faculty and visitors that want know about the school of information, technology and computing in the American University of Nigeria. SITC is the second largest school in AUN and it...
Mobile banking technology has been widely adopted amongst all the commercial banks in Kenya. Currently Kenyan banks lose millions of shillings by means of online theft through mobile banking and other platforms. This study therefore intended to address the issues associated with mobile banking and was directed by the following objectives: to understand the mobile banking architecture, to establish the technological risks arising for commercial banks in Kenya as a result of mobile banking, to ...
Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Nairobi city residents encounter a myriad of problems on the roads every day, thanks to the increasing population in the city and also due to the influx of motor vehicles in the city using a const...
Knowledge management is a field with a lot of potential that can benefit individuals as well as different types of organizations. Despite this fact, most organizations in Kenya have focused on knowledge storage, but have not adopted sharing of the stored knowledge. This study examined the adoption of mobile technology for knowledge management in Mahashakti Kenya Limited, Athi River. The study was guided by the following objectives: To assess the extent of adoption of mobile technology fo...
ABSTRACT In this project, we shall implement the hierarchical clustering algorithm and apply it to various data sets such as the weather data set, the student data set, and the patient data set. We shall then reduce these datasets using the following dimensionality reduction approaches: Random Projections (RP), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Variance (Var), the New Random Approach (NRA), the Combined Approach (CA) and the Direct Approach (DA). The rand index and ARI will be implemented ...
Abstract There are several obvious observable evolutionary evidence among all the population of known pulsars, but a consistent description of this evolutionary trend is generally lacking in the literature. In this study, we provide a consistent interpretation of this evolutionary effect, on the ground that the exchange of moment of inertia with time between superiud component and the solid crust component as the temperature of the neutron star drops is a signicant process of energy loss in ...
ABSTRACT We re-examined the phenomenon of rotational instability in radio pulsars on decadal timescales using a sample of 315 radio pulsars whose spin-rates [rotation period (P) and spin-down rate ( P) ] have been measured on, at least two different epochs. The first stage of our analysis involves a direct comparison of the measured values of P and P at two epochs that are ~ 10 - 20 years apart in order to estimate the fluctuation in the parameters. The results show that the fluctuation in t...
ABSTRACT Customer service is the most important aspect of every business that builds its processes on the basis of customers going through the queue before receiving any service from the organization. These businesses become ineffective and inefficient if the queues are not moving well or the queues are not fluid. This research was inspired by the customer service of MTN Sokoto branch. System Dynamics was used in order to solve the overcrowd problem of the organization. System Dynamics is a ...
ABSTRACT In our present society today, it is clearly seen that garbage cans are being placed in open environments because it needs to be accessed by the public. It can be observed that those garbage cans usually get filled up and overflow and litter the environment. Patil (2015) claims that this uncontrolled littering can lead to a gradual encroachment of diseases that can be very harmful to the human health. Littered trash can also produce bad and offensive smell around the surroundings. To...
The main goal of healthcare sector worldwide is to provide quality and efficient health services to citizens. As the threat landscape on healthcare continues to escalate, many hospitals still lag behind in terms of protecting its critical infrastructure and electronic protected health information (ePHI).This research provided solution by designing a web application that will help the healthcare determine its Cybersecurity Readiness Index (CRI). The research targeted 55 respondents from 1...
This study sought to assess the existing state of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment in Kenya, to improve on the methods of disposal, recycling, and facilitation of a circular economy by households through the use of ICT. The study was driven by the following objectives on how they influence a circular e-waste economy; sociodemographic factors, consumer behaviour, level of access to information and ICT infrastructure. The target population for the study was households within Nairobi Co...
ABSTRACT Petroleum – polluted sites are disturbed ecosystem with scanty plants. Study was carried out in such sites to assess the area of its rhizobacterial status, particularly comparing that of the rhizospheres and non-rhizospheres in the site. The samples were suspended and serially diluted in physiological saline and inoculated on nutrient media by spread plates method. After incubation and isolation, the isolates were characterized by morphological examination, gram staining, biochemic...
