ABSTRACT The core aspect behind developing Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company Fault reporting and tracking android application was a result of inefficiency of the manual system that was used at the organization. The main aim was to develop a computerized system that will curb the problems currently encountered by using the existing manual system by integratinginformationsystemsprocess. The instruments which were used to come up with the system include MySQL database, n...
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 The architecture of government buildings built in the pre-modern days did not cater for the recent advanced technologies of the internet via fiber distribution or (unshielded twisted pair cables) UTP in their plans, therefore making it a bottleneck for the modern network technician installers to plan for clear routes within the buildings for the internet connections and resources being allocated to the diverse ministries. This problem also affected remote located sites of the MICTPSC...
Abstract This mini-thesis examines different socio-cultural norms and communication behaviours of indigenous communities. In spite of existing Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructural challenges, the software solutions that have been designed for rural communities have been a major concern. In this thesis, qualitative methodologies were used with deliberate sampling of two village populations to investigate verbal and non verbal behaviour. In order to design appropriate inte...
ABSTRACT Version Control Systems for quite some time present an integral part of development process and a must have tool for both individual developers and teams as well. However, use of version control systems and choice of proper workflow can at first be challenging. Developers and teams often do not invest enough time to get to know the possibilities of such systems, which results in these systems not being used to their full potential. The purpose of the study was to develop a framework ...
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to develop an online mobile application to perform the task of reporting IT related faults and issues that arise at Turnall Holdings so as to capture and store all these problems for future reference easily. The objectives of the system were to remove the use of manual paper as log sheets, which consumed a lot of resources and money. The system was to create a quick reaction on the IT stuff by showing dates and times of the report of a fault and the atten...
ABSTRACT The kinetics and mechanisms of the redox reactions of μ-oxo-bridged iron(III) complex ion Na4[(FeEDTA)2 O].12H2O denoted as Fe2 O4+, with the thiols-2-mercaptobenzothiazole(MBSH), 2- mercaptophenol(PhSH), 2-mercaptoacetic acid (MSH), and l-cysteine (RSH) have been investigated in aqueous perchloric acid medium at [H+]=1×10-4 mol dm-,3,I=0.05mol dm-3(NaClO4) and at T =27.0±0.1oC. The reactions were monitored under pseudo-first order condition .The rate of reaction was first-order i...
ABSTRACT The processing technique for production of alpha and microcystalline cellulose using Sorghum bicolor and Andropogon gayanus as starting materials was established. The effect of reagent type and concentration, pH, temperature, digestion and bleaching time on the quality and yield of the powdered cellulose grades &as studied. Acute toxicity test on the derived polymers was investigated using albino mice. The physicotechnical properties of the new polymeric materials were studied. A Car...
Abstract Some intrusive rocks of doleritic to dioritic compositions horn the Ejekwe-Wanikande and Okigwe-Ishiagu districts in the Lower Benue Trough have been studied using thin section microscopy and X-ray (powder) difiaction method. The rocks have intmded pre-Santonian sedimentary rocks which are predominantly calcareous shales. The exposures of these intrusive rocks generally have widths ranging from about 40m to 228 m. s The intrusive rocks are generally melanocratic to mesocratic (dark.t...
ABSTRACT Traffic signal breakdowns are a common problem in the CBD areas of cities and towns. When these breakdowns occur, unsafe road conditions for motorists and pedestrians emerge whereby there is chaos at intersections with each driver trying to proceed without considering other motorists. This leads to traffic jams, delays and collisions. This project aims to address the problem of prolonged traffic signal down time by designing a model traffic signal that uses SMS to automatically and i...
ABSTRACT Physicochemical and bacteriological analyses of underground water resources in Nkanu East and Nkanu West Local Government Areas of Enugu state, Nigeria were carried out to evaluate the potability and quality of the rural water supplies and to provide baseline data for future quality assessment. Underground water samples were collected from ten different boreholes in Nkanu East and Nkanu West LGAs. The parameters measured include temperature, colour, pH, electrical conductivity, turbi...
ABSTRACT There is a growing trend of using cloud environments for ever growing storage and data processing needs. However, adopting a cloud computing paradigm may have positive as well as negative effects on the data security of servicing consumers. The focus of this research is on the development of a proof-ofconcept system for security and integrity of result computations in a cloud computing environment by implementing a four level cloud based application security gateway methodology for r...
Abstract The purpose of this research was to develop a computerized process of applying for and paying for stamp duty. This is simply a change in the process of assessing, that is, knowing what you supposed to pay and for what instrument and actually paying for stamp duty. The study critically analyses the manual method of collecting stamp duty in Nigeria and uses ideas so gathered to design a new site (Electronic Stamp Duty Payment System) for use by the Tax Administrators in Federal Inland ...
