The study examined framing pattern, direction of portrayal, space allotment and placement pattern in reporting avian influenza news in some selected Nigerian newspapers namely, The Guardian, Vanguard, Punch and Tribune were purposively selected between the periods of February 1 81 to August 31-" 2006. Result showed that majority (52.56%) of avian flu disease stories were reported in the month of February and Guardian newspaper had the highest frequency of reports (69.2%). Analysis of the fram...
ABSTRACT Population increase in Matungulu Sub-County in Kenya has led to pressure on arable land where agriculture is the main economic activity. This has caused a gradual shift in land use practices over the years from extensive to intensive agriculture. There has been a decrease in maize yields over the years despite the use of phosphate (P) and nitrogenous (N) fertilizers, which may suggest that the levels of potassium (K) in the soil may be low. Fertilizer application for maize farming ...
ABSTRACT Background: Myzus pe.rsicae (green peach aphids) are crop pests; they are among the most destructive insect pests on cultivated plants in temperate regions. Many of them are green in color, but others may be white wooly or black (McGravin,1993).Their damage to plants has made farming a complicated venture across the whole world. From the zo9logical standpoint, they are a highly successful group of organisms (Piper, 2007). The study was conducted to evaluate .the chemical composition ...
ABSTRACTNew interactive computing applications are continually being developed in a bidto support people’s changing work and recreational activities. As research focuses on oneparticular class of interactive systems, high level models of interaction are formulated andrequirements emerge that reflect shared features or common functionality among those systems.Within this seminar a new class of interactive syst...
An exergy analysis was performed to compare a conventional (1) two panel photovoltaic solar thermal hybrid (PVT x2) system, (2) side by side photovoltaic and solar thermal (PV + T) system, (3) two module photovoltaic (PV) system and (4) a two panel solar thermal (T x2) system with identical absorber areas to determine the superior technical solar energy systems for applications with a limited roof area. Three locations, Detroit, Denver and Phoenix, were simulated due to their differences in a...
Abstract: Network downtime is the period in which a computer system is unavailable or system fails to provide/perform its primary functions. System reliability and/or availability are very Key as an unavailable system is a failing system. It is very common is Botswana for government clients to forfeit being serviced because the government department system is down. The primary aim of this project was to investigate the causes of system/network downtimes in Botswana government department. Thr...
Abstract The purpose of this project was to find and address the challenges faced by visually impaired persons when trying to communicate electronically. An emailing system was proposed and built. Email System for the visually impaired is a software system that aims to empower the blind and the visually impaired. It makes use of artificial cognitive intelligence to mimic human intelligence by converting user supplied voice message into text and then creating an email message to send to the de...
Abstract In this digital age, it is unanticipated that some organisations and firms still use the manual book system to keep records. Research on the reasons why some organisations are still using the manual way proved that usability is an important aspect when developing a record keeping system. Most available record keeping or inventory systems are tailored for businesses involved in buying and selling goods. Since for such businesses there will be a designated person or few people responsi...
Abstract Ever since the invention of cars accident was introduced as a major cause of death and car manufactures has been developing new ways to prevent death by accident. Time is very important factor when it comes to saving a person’s life, any delay in detecting an accident or failing to locate its position life. The solution proposed by this thesis is to use a combination of collision detection unit and identify an accident and report it to the appropriate authorities and clear the roa...
INTRODUCTION A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a system of hardware, software and procedures to facilitate the management, manipulation, analysis, modeling, representation and display of geo‐referenced data to solve complex problems regarding planning and management of resources. Functions of GIS include data entry, data display, data management, information retrieval and analysis. The applications of ...
ABSTRACT: This project work is on the development of a solar powered car. It involves the design and fabrication of a solar powered car with a carrying capacity of two and a maximum speed of 30 km/hr, which runs entirely on a stand-alone solar system. The car is a unique prototype sedan car. It is designed with dimensions of 3 meters’ x 1.6 meters'. The maximum load carrying capacity of the vehicle is 700 kg and it requires a driving force of about 4.3 kW. The solar car uses a clean engine...
ABSTRACT This document was produced as part of the final (forth) year project for the BSc. (Hons) Information Systems Degree program. The project was done to present and develop an effective way to enhance the technology utilisation to the individuals with different disabilities at different levels in the education sector. The project involves five basic phases namely introduction phase, planning phase, analysis phase, design phase and the implementation phase. The introduction phase introduc...
ABSTRACT Despite the acknowledged importance of agricultural science and technology (AS&T), little is known about the structure and performance of AS&T policy system in developing countries. The structure and performance of this policy system in Kenya and Uganda was analysed using a preliminary ‘system components-shift effects’ framework. The system components comprised of agricultural research, extension, education and transboundary technology transfer. The impact of these components wa...
