With the growth of the Internet and the increase in number of online devices, IPv4 address space approaches exhaustion. This has led to the deployment of IPv6. However, IPv6 has not been widely adopted, particularly in Kenya. According to Akamai (2016) IPv6 has an adoption rate of 0.02% in Kenya despite recent studies showing that adoption is increasing in some parts of the world. Some of the shortcomings of the current methods of measuring IPv6 adoption are: (a) There is limited informa...

E-learning has enhanced the way students think and learn over time. Different studies show that students appreciate facilities offered through the e-learning process. It has also proven to be a very useful tool by bringing education closer to the learner, hence, learner-centred. A point to note about e-learning is the ability to offer a wide range of information access, storage and education curriculum. Institutions of higher learning moderate and harmonize this information between instr...
The proliferation of Android smartphones has propagated negative societal issues that resulted in successful arrests of the culprits, forensic examination and prosecution. Other such cases have collapsed due to alteration of forensic evidence as a result of inadequate forensic sound frameworks. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate an enhanced forensic framework for Android smartphones with a key focus on data integrity. The research objectives included exploration of roo...
Abstract The systematic status and geographic distribution of spiny mice of the genus Acomys I. Geoffroy, 1838 in northern Tanzania is uncertain. This study assesses the systematic and geographic distribution of Acomys from northern Tanzania using a multidisciplinary approach that includes molecular, cytogenetic, traditional and geometric morphometric analyses, and classical morphology of the same individuals. The molecular analysis was based on 1140 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial cy...
ABSTRACT Public participation and visitor satisfaction in museums are directly related to the experience of learning, discovery and involvement in motivating learning behaviours. In most cases, visitors’ experiences are significantly improved if they gain substantial knowledge on each artefact of interest from the museum guides and this is critical to user satisfaction, however, the ratio of human guides to visitors is grossly inadequate. A visitor touring in a group is hardly taken care o...
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 ICT tools are continuously changing business processes while the Zimbabwe’s public health sector still lags behind. The commercial industry has completely evolved because of eCommerce business models but an e-Health strategy has not yet been implemented in the health sector. The need for a tool to track the areas in the country with critical shortages of public health care professionals and ease manipulation of health practitioner’s data stirred the development of the National H...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if the Boophilus species spectrum of ticks infesting cattle owned by resource limited farmers in the state owned communal land areas of Zimbabwe, are resistant to Amitraz. The study was also aimed at finding a concentration of the acaricide that the tick species are susceptible to, and can give at least 99.9% mortality. Five districts were selected from the Matabeleland South province and five farms were randomly selected from each district...
ABSTRACT A novel biosensor for hydrogen peroxide was constructed based on the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase on zinc oxide-multiwalled carbon nanotubes matrix. The model redox enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was physically (physical adsorption) immobilized on the ZnO/MWCNT modified electrode surface. UV-Visible spectra of HRP and HRP/ZnO/MWCNT displayed soret bands at 407 and 390 nm, respectively and thus the immobilised HRP retains its native structure. The modified electrode...
