ABSTRACT Transportation is a requirement for every nation, regardless of its industrial capacity, population size or technological development. The Nigerian transport systems, right from inception, were poorly designed and are unable to scale up to meet greater demand, a design flaw which causes traffic congestion on roads, overstressed railways, faltering airfields, and mass-transport blind spots. Overall there appear to be market impediments which operate to limit the extent to which Nigeri...
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. It causes inflammation of the alveoli making it fill with fluid, causing difficulty in breathing and reduces oxygen intake. It is the leading cause of deaths in children worldwide. In this study, secondary data on monthly pneumonia cases collected from the disease control unit from 2015 to 2020 of the Builsa North Municipality was modeled using discrete-time Markov chain modeling. The data was grouped into low, moderate and high states of the pneumonia ...
ABSTRACT Water as an essential commodity plays a major role in national development, the availability of water through pipe borne to individual, communities, and the country at large will help in achieving the New Millennium Development Goal (MDG7), hence the constant study, analysis and forecast for supply of water using past water supplied. The supply of pipe borne water from 2009 to 2015 was examined with the aim of developing a working model to forecast future supply of pipe borne water...
CHAPTER ONE 1.1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.2.0 The advent of computers has brought better and remarkable changes in the socio-economical activities of society. Right from invention computer application has evolved from restricted scientific fields to almost every sphere of life as a result of a series of modifications and/or addition to the system based on needs.

Abstract In Ghana, most junctions are managed by semi - Intelligent Traffic Systems with a fixed-time traffic control. This has become possible due to the advancement of the transport management. Despite these technologies, traffic control is still an issue as policemen sometimes direct traffic even when there are working traffic lights. This is so because the systems have not been adjusted properly to help with good traffic flow. This paper will not focus on exploring how to measure these in...
Abstract: Rice is among the most important cereals grown in different parts of Ethiopia as food crop. The country is characterized with immense potentials for growing the crop. This study was aimed at analyzing rice market performance and supply by smallholder farmers in Guraferda District, Southwestern Ethiopia. Primary and secondary data were used for the study. The data were collected from 120 rice producer farmers selected through three stage sampling technique and 35 traders selected pu...
ABSTRACT The growing population in developing countries has necessitated a shift in preference for indigenous food. Small ruminant meat being one of the preferred indigenous products has registered huge increase in demand over the last few years. Therefore, demand for sheep and goat meat is predicted to rise predominantly in Arid and Semi- Arid Lands (ASAL), thereby creating new meat markets as well as expansion of the existing small ruminant value chain. Isiolo- Nairobi small ruminant value...
ABSTRACT Demand for rice from developing countries is steadily increasing, replacing most of the coarse grains and root crops as the major source of dietary calories. Food insecurity in many Africa countries is inevitable if efficient procedures for boosting productivity, decreasing cost of production, and protecting the environment are not taken into account. The per capita consumption of rice in Ghana is currently about 24 kg per annum. Consumption of rice will continuing to go up due to ra...
ABSTRACT In rural areas, water availability in the right quantity and quality is an important step towards achieving socio-economic development. Thus, the provision of sustainable water supply has been a central issue in Kenya with priority on low-income rural communities and underdeveloped areas with poor water resources. This has forced many rural communities to embrace community management model in rural water systems. However, despite continued large-scale investment by the government an...
Abstract Deposit taking Savings and Credit Co-operatives (SACCO) are solution to social dilemmas like abject poverty, living standards and unemployment. Nevertheless, 14 percent do not maintain sound cash management practices despite SACCOs oversight authority in Kenya offering guidelines and supervision to the enterprises that would assist in maintaining their financial sustainability. This necessitated for the evaluation of the moderating effect of SACCO size on cash management practice an...
ABSTRACT Groundwater hydrology may be defined as the science of the occurrence distribution, and movement of water below the surface of the earth. Geochydrology has an identical connotation, and hydrogeology differs only by its greater emphasis on geology. Utilization of groundwater dates from ancient times, although an understanding of the occurrence and movement of subsurface water as part of the hydrologic cycle has come only relatively recently. SCOPE:Groundwater referred to without ...
ABSTRACT Solid waste management has become a daunting task for local government authorities who seem to lack the capability to deal with the escalating waste situation. Meanwhile, the design and implementation of municipal solid waste management systems require adequate analysis of existing behaviour patterns of key stakeholders, including their attitudes, perceptions, and values. The study therefore sought to investigate residents’ perceptions and attitudes towards urban solid waste manage...
ABSTRACT The programme of immunization against polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, tuberculosis, and measles has reached all the sub-districts of Nkwanta district, but it has not yet had a demonstrable effect on low EPI coverage. The study looked at the possible health service factors leading to persistent low EPI coverage in the district particularly on the adequacy of EPI supplies to the periphery and the strategies used in EPI in the district. Data were collected from all the Commu...
