ABSTRACT Yellow maize is used as a raw material in many food industries but its use as an adjunct in beer brewing has not received much attention. This study was carried out at Delta Beverages Southerton Plant, Harare, to determine the suitability of yellow maize as an adjunct in larger beer brewing in terms of proximate analysis of its milled grits and wort analysis. The proximate composition of the yellow maize milled grits was determined through analysis of moisture content, gelatinization...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to reduce fraud at toll collection points by ensuring that all toll fee revenue is collected at one central point and also to reduce the risk of theft and loss by doing away with the handling of cash at tollgate stations. To get an insight into the operations of ZINARA, a number of methodologies were used by the researcher which included interviews, questionnaires, and observations. The use of these methodologies helped to get detailed information, in...

ABSTRACT Contamination of luncheon meats by bacteria has resulted in premature product spoilage and food poisoning outbreaks as well as major product recalls. A quantitative microbial assessment of air, surfaces, equipment and personnel hands (swabs), and finished product was conducted on 3 batches during separate visits at various processing stages during production of sliced vacuum packed French polony at a large meat processing plant in Zimbabwe. The aim was to determine the routes of micr...
Abstract It seems that during the last decades, no research was done which is related to the Steinitz exchange theorem. However, the generalised Steinitz exchange theorem has been investigated in books and articles . The generalized Steinitz exchange theorem is not a theorem of linear algebra but for reaching generalization of the Steinitz exchange theorem which has applications for example in field theory, in the theory of abelian groups and in module theory. The objective of this study was...
Abstract Information Technology (IT) is taking on greater significance and importance for bringing a lot of benefits to educational institutions such as schools. The benefits IT brings include enhancing productivity, improving efficiency, providing better service and knowledge sharing, increasing competitiveness, reducing costs, just to name a few. This has also led to a rapid development of school information systems. The aim of this research work was to analyse schools administration proce...
ABSTRACT The purpose of the gender based violence monitoring system is to have accumulative statistics on the cases reported in each province for the purpose of eradicating the challenges which cause the gender based violence. The objectives of the system are that there should be easy allocation of officers to the relevant provinces and to provide the sufficient funding for each program. The data collected is then aggregated to sum up the totals per province and have a collective figure of a...
Abstract The performance in mathematics by students has persistently been poor. Students‘ attitudes towards mathematics have been a factor that is known to influence students‘ achievement in mathematics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors contributing to negative attitudes towards mathematics resulting in poor performance at O‘level and also establish the strategies that can be adopted to improve performance in mathematics by students in secondary schools in Kwekwe...
ABSTRACT Voice over IP has been driven by the convergence of voice and data on a single transport medium. This means cheaper service usage fees for the user if the offering is costed properly. But for a service provider there is still an increase in expenditure, solely related to spending on infrastructure such as call servers, phones and gateways. This study is aimed at analysing a different strategy of deploying VoIP, by starting at a lower base, meaning hosting the VoIP application on ine...
ABSTRACT This study which was conducted at Chifedza High School in Chivi District of Masvingo Province of Zimbabwe sought through a survey and quasi-experimental, to investigate the role of diagrams in problem-solving in Mathematics at form four level. The exploratory approach was chosen to guide the methodology of the study because of its pragmatic nature and ability to produce desired, practical, workable and more justifiable results. One secondary school in the district was visited for th...
ABSTRACT The need to develop an Inspect to Connect Mobile Application (ZETDC ITC) was necessitated by the lack of a facility that was convenient in the operations of electrical inspection to the connection procedures. Clients had to incur expenses of travelling from one point to another for them to get inspection and connection services, despite having to travel long distances to ZETDC offices they also had to wait for hours in queues waiting to be attended to. Employees also ended up having...
Abstract The research sought to comprehensively examine challenges and opportunities of biogas technology adoption for sustainable household energy in rural areas of Zimbabwe. Focus was on Domboshava Communal Area, Ward 4 where potential of the technology is hundred folds higher than the present status. The research adopted both qualitative and quantitative research techniques to answer the objectives. Total enumerative sampling technique (census) was used and 56 biogas adopters within the st...
Abstract Application containerisation has been introduced to mitigate the discrepancies of the execution environment conguration and set up a complex application goes through from development to production, including other steps such as testing, staging, etc. Through an isolation mechanism, containers bundle into one package (binaries plus all their dependencies) the entire runtime environment required for an application or any of its components. Depending on the complexity of the adopted arc...
