Abstract Diabetes Mellitus is one of the fatal diseases growing at a rapid rate in de- veloping countries. This rate is also critical in the developed countries, Dia- betes Mellitus being one of the major contributors to the mortality rate. De- tection and diagnosis of Diabetes at an early stage is the need of the day. It is required that a classifier is be designed so as to work efficient, convenient and most importantly, accurate. Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing Techniques mimic ...
Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the quantity of Solanum dubium seeds oil and study some physio-chemical properties of the extracted oil. The results show the oil yield was (50%), fatty acid composition was (75%), phytochemical screening of the seed powder show higher Alkaloids contents (+ + +), moderate Flavinoid composition (+ +), low tannin content (+) and free of Saponine, Cumarin, Steroids, and Anthraquinones. Investigation of the chemical properties show the Saponifica...
Abstract Nowadays, speech recognition plays a major role in designing a natural voice interface for communication between human and their modern digital life equipment. It is presenting an easy way to cross the language barrier between monolingual individuals. But the obvious problem with this field is the lack of wide support for several universal languages and their dialects; while most of the daily interaction is done using them. This research comes to ensure the viability of designing the...
Rampant cyber incidences in Kenya targeting banks call for mediations beyond existing cybersecurity principles. This quantitative study sought to collate multi-domain variables from previous works to develop a framework for measuring cyber-resilience in Kenyan banks known as the Cyber-resilience Framework for Banks (CRF4Banks). The framework consists of eight key cyber-resilience constructs and their constituent variables, identified from empirical research and literature. Cyber-resilien...
ABSTRACT Vehicle license plate recognition is a computer vision method that aims to automatically recognize the vehicle’s identification number from the vehicle image. Therefore, it is an important component for automating many control and surveillance systems, such as: road traffic monitoring, private and public entrances, highway electronic toll collection, red light violation enforcement, and theft control. Although, considerable researches have been carried out for vehicle license plate...
Abstract In this work, zinc oxide nano particles were synthesized by sol-gel method, from Zinc Acetate dehydrates (ZnC4H6O4). 2H2O, then the aluminum oxide was also prepared by sol-gel method from Aluminum acetate C6H9AlO6. Then ZnO was mixed by Al2O3 with concentration ratio of (0, 25, 50) % to get four samples of AZO, these samples were characterized with UV-VIS spectrometer, and the optical properties of AZO were studied. It is clearly seen that the energy gap decrease with increasing of ...
ABSTRACT The occurrence and distribution of the resources of southwestern Nigeria are intimately associated with the geology of the area. The basement complex of southwestern Nigeria lies to the east of the West African Craton, an area that has undergone late Precambrian to early Palaeozoic orogenesis. To the east and south, the Mesozoic-Recent sediments of the Dahomey and Niger Coastal Basıns cover the Basement Complex, The mineral resources of southwestern Nigeria are grouped into thre...
Abstract A Study Has Been Made On A New Type Of Wear Resistant/High Strength Iron-Manganse-Molybdenum Steel. This Study Includes The Influence Of Composition And Heat Treatment On The Mechanical Properties. The Exceptional Work-Hardening Rate Is Due To Strain-Induced Formation Of Lath Martensite Which Itself Also Takes Part In The Work-Hardening Process. The Influence Of Higher Molybdenum Contents Was Evident In Preventing Brittleness Of The Solution Treated Steels. An Optimum Composition Ran...
ABSTRACT A study has been made on a new type of wear resistant/high strength iron-manganse-molybdenum steel. This study includes the influence of composition and heat treatment on the mechanical properties. The exceptional work-hardening rate is due to strain-induced formation of lath martensite which itself also takes part in the work-hardening process. The influence of higher molybdenum contents was evident in preventing brittleness of the solution treated steels. An optimum composition ran...
Digital crimes have increased in number and sophistication affecting the networks quality of services parameters like confidentiality, integrity and availability of resources. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are deployed to optimize detection and provide comprehensive view of intrusion activities. However, NIDSs generates large volumes of alerts mixed with false positives, and repeated warnings for the same attack, or alert notifications from erroneous activity. This prevents ...
The pervasiveness of the internet and available connectivity solutions brought about by cloud computing has led to an unprecedented increase in technologies built based on information technology infrastructures. This has improved the number of cloud users and substantially increasing the number of incidents related to the security of infrastructure and data in the recent past. Most organizations consider the deployment of different types of protection systems to curb various malicious ac...
Investigation of social media using social network theory is a new powerful tool that will aid and ease law enforcement agencies in multi-faceted ways in this ever evolving digital landscape. It is against this backdrop that this study focused on identifying and investigating selected individuals on Facebook and Twitter social media platforms. In particular, selected respondents from University of Eldoret, Kibabii, Moi, Kisii and Rongo Universities were involved in the study. The objecti...
Abstract A magnetic property of matter plays an important role in modern technology. This need intensive research to satisfy technology need for new magnetic properties of matter. This motivates to do this research on the effect of change of nano size of Aluminum on its permeability. Three different nano sizes were prepared. It was found that increase of Aluminum nano size increases its magnetic permeability.
Accurate meter readings, timely and correct bills have become an important aspect of water metering systems. Additionally, anomalies such as leakage and bursts in water pipelines have significant consequences to the environment and lead to financial constraints to the water companies. Since monitoring leakages and bursts in the water distribution networks, capturing accurate and dependable measurements for billing, troubleshooting and analysis is a challenging task, the need to develop a reli...
