ABSTRACT This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of dairy cattle managed under different production systems of smallholder dairy cattle keepers in Kilolo district. The breeds involved in the study were Friesian and Ayrshire crossbred cows. Also a survey was conducted on the production environments of Kilolo herds of crossbred dairy cattle. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire in which a total of 176 farmers in Kilolo district were interviewed. Statistica...
ABSTRACT The study on contribution of valley bottom cultivation (vinyungu) to poverty alleviation in Mtitu River Basin in Kilolo District was conducted in order to examine the role of this type of agriculture to rural livelihood. This type of agriculture has been practiced over many decades. In Mtitu River Basin almost all valley bottoms are used by small farmers who practice farming in lowlands, usually called vinyungu, a type of farming practiced in dry season. Tanzania Government has been...
ABSTRACT This thesis focused on factors affecting diffusion and impact of internet banking. It was based on the theory that when a cost-saving innovation, such as internet banking, is initially introduced, large banks have an advantage to adopt it first and enjoy further growth in size. Over time, due to environmental changes (demand change, technology progress and banking deregulation); the innovation diffuses into smaller banks. As a result, the aggregate bank size distribution increases s...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the Identification of Difficult Teaching and Learning Topic in Junior Secondary School in Integrated Science and Computer Science Curriculum in Nigeria, (A Case Study of Junior Secondary School Class 3). Five Research questions were formulated to guide the study. These include; the extent to which lack of use of instructional materials in integrated science and computer science bring difficulties in teaching and learning of topics in t...
ABSTRACT A computer is an electronic device that accept data as input, processes it into information which is them display on the screen as an output. The important of information to the general success of any organization should not be over emphasized. This is because information is a imbricate that keeps business organization going, hence no information, no organization. The chapter one of this project work will deal with the introductions, statement of problem, s...
Abstract During the past few years, technology has significantly reshaped the method of assessment. Educational measurement has been moving towards the use of CBT. The underlying purpose of this research is to evaluate the significance of students‟ access to a computer; students' attitude; students‟ perception; computer literacy skills and CBT acceptability as it affect secondary school student‟s preparedness for UTME-CBT. Data were collected with questionnaires distribu...

ABSTRACT Sand production is a major issue during oil and gas production from unconsolidated reservoirs. In predicting the onset of sand production. it is important to accurately determine the failure mechanism and the contributing parameters. The aim of this study wa to determine sand failure mechanism in the Niger-Delta. identify the major contributing parameters and evaluate their effects on sanding. Completion and production data from 78 strings completed on 22 reservoirs in a Niger Delta ...
Abstract/Overview Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents (N = 1,330; Mages = 15 and 16; 50% female), mothers, and fathers from nine countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, United States) reported on adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems, adolescents completed a lab-based task to assess tendency for risk-taking, and adolescents reported on their well-being. During the pandemic, participants (Mage = 20) reported on changes in thei...
ABSTRACT This study was carried out with objectives of developing a proper decision aid for irrigation indenting of multiple crop rotation based on Penman- Montieth equation( 1994) and amenable for the format of meteorological data of the Sudan. Consequently the study developed a mathematical simulation of canal operation for the purpose of optimization of water allocation within such a canal. Linear programming algorithm was made to optimize irrigation water allocation between different outl...
ABSTRACT Renal blood flow evaluation during malaria illness is rarely done despite the high incidence of kidney injury from malaria and availability of Doppler Ultrasound in malaria endemic areas.
ABSTRACT Water resources have become scarce in most tropical areas of Tanzania due to climate change. Any changes to the hydrological cycle may have significant effects on the water resources in the river basins of Tanzania. The impact of climate change on water resources in Tanzania have been studied using General Circulation Models (GCM) which run at low spatial resolutions of 100-300 km. The resolution is too coarse to provide useful information about climate change impact in small catchme...

ABSTRACT The study was to design a sanitary landfill in Kapchorwa central division to curb the problem of improper solid waste disposal. According to the study that was conducted within the municipality; it was found out that the municipality majorly had four main sources at which the solid wastes are generated; Residential wastes, Commercial wastes and Institutional wastes Qualitative data was collected to know the characteristics of solid wastes whereas quantitative data was used to measu...
The objective of this study was to contribute to dairy cattle improvement in Kenya through optimization of breeding systems that incorporate reproductive technologies and milk quality traits in the dairy cattle breeding programme. Specifically, the study: 1) compared response to selection realized in a closed two-tier nucleus breeding system utilizing different reproductive technologies, 2) estimated the economic values for milk protein yield and mastitis resistance, and 3) compared resp...
