ABSTRACT The study examined the legal and institutional framework for combating gas flaring in Nigeria. The study considered the history, function, effect of oil exploratory activities of oil companies in Nigeria having caused gas flaring resulting in loss of lives and properties in the affected communities where gas is flared. The study relied on primary and secondary sources of infor...
ABSTRACT Recommender systems are web-based platforms or software that use various machine learning methods to propose useful items to users. Several techniques have been used to develop such a system for generating a list of recommendations. Multi-criteria is a new technique that recommends items based on multiple characteristics or attributes of the items. This technique has been used to solve many recommendation problems and its predictive performance has been tested and proven to be more ...
ABSTRACT Research was carried to explain the variation in the hydrological characteristics of river Nyakomisaro and its effect on water supply in the Kisii Municipality. The study determined the variability in rainfall and river discharge in the Nyakomisaro sub Catchment, established the relationship between rainfall and streamflow in the sub catchment, examined the extent for which River Nyakomisaro water was used in supplying water to the Kisii Municipality and examined the streamflow mana...

ABSTRACT Extensive literature abounds on the evaluating techniques of load-point reliability indices of electrical power systems. On the whole, all the efforts of the published works have been the establishment of conventional methods to evaluate load-point reliability indices from raw component reliability data. Any system change that warrants new set of load-point reliability indices would require the whole process of reliability evaluation to be repeated. That is an inherent characteristic...
ABSTRACT The Performance Management System (PMS) has evolved to enhance the performance of individuals and subsequently the entire organisation. The Government of the Republic of Namibia introduced the Performance Appraisal System in 1997. However, it was suspended in 1998 because of various problems. Nevertheless, there was still a need to evaluate employees’ performance, therefore, in 2010 the Performance Management System (PMS) was introduced in the Public Service including the Office o...
ABSTRACT SHEQ Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation System is a software application that was developed for Lobel’s Bread organization specifically for the SHEQ department. The software was developed to allow employees to be able to carry out activities such as electronic money allocation and analysis, event scheduling and tracking, instant communication through gaining access to the notifications platform giving feedback of activities and tests, publishing of the activities, report generatio...
ABSTRACT Value of information technology in online public share offering marketing information systems in capital market businesses and industry has never been greater and more significant than today. There is no one to ignore the role of new technologies of information in different social and organizational processes. This necessity is felt that the organization of our country, according to gradual process of moving towards global markets, considerer this technology. Success factors for orga...
ABSTRACT Soapstonequarryingactivitieshave immense effects on the physical and human environments. However, it is not clear how individual soapstone quarrying activities influence the occurrence of a specific geomorphic event. The effects of resultant soapstone residues on farming and whether soapstone rocks can regenerate from such debrisrequire deeper investigations. It is on these constructs that this study seeks to probe the influence of soapstone quarrying activities on geomorphic process...
ABSTRACT Cage aquaculture involves fish farming in floating cages in an existing water body that permits exchange of water, nutrients and waste materials between the cage and the water environment. While some experts claim that cage aquaculture negatively impacts on water quality, others found no significant impacts of fish farming in floating cages on water environment. While information on cage aquaculture abounds in some countries to enhance the industry, little information exist on the i...
ABSTRACT The main objective of the study was to examine farmers’ perceptions of the contribution of maize farming technologies to livelihoods in the Buea Sub-Division of Cameroon. The specific objectives dealt with farmers’ demographic characteristics and their use of maize technologies, farmers’ views of other factors that influence their use of maize technologies, a comparison of the yields, incomes and livelihood perceptions of farmers who use traditional technologies and those who u...
ABSTRACT A triple system is an absolutely fascinating concept in projective geometry. This project is an extension of previously done work on triple systems, specifically the triples that fit into a Fano plane and the (i, j, k) triples of the quaternion group. Here, we have explored and determined the existence of triple systems in Z ∗ n for n = p, n = pq, n = 2mp and n = pqr with m ∈ N, p, q, r ∈ P, and p > q > r. A triple system in Z ∗ n has been denoted by (k1, k2, k3) where there...
ABSTRACT In this work, sufficient conditions for the constrained controllability of linear and semi linear systems with delay in state and control are formulated and proved. For the linear delay system, necessary and sufficient conditions are developed by establishing the equivalence of a delay system without delay to show local relative controllability. For the semi linear delay system, sufficient conditions are also developed by using the associate linear dynamical system to establish ...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to come up with a system that allows online hybrid sales analysis The main contributing reason for the development of this system is that the company has no particular system which is used for predicting sales The research main objectives were to make a system which permits compilations of agents sales and calculating the revenue that have been collected at a particular time. Different alternatives where looked at and these include improving the current s...
Abstract: Napier grass remains an important strategic grass species in east African mixed crop-livestock systems. However, production of several varieties of the grass remains constrained by phytoplasmic disease, Napier stunt disease (NSD), which is transmitted by the leafhopper, Maiestas banda. For smallholder farmers of western Kenya who rely on the grass for livestock feed and pest control in push-pull farming systems, effective control strategies of the disease and the vector remain elus...
