ABSTRACT The Gladercom Freight Consignment Tracking System is a web based progressive application that allows consigners to book and pay for shipment, and track it till it reaches consignee’s’ destination. The consigner gains access to the system by using login details received via email. The administrator is responsible for viewing paid consignment that is awaiting delivery, drivers that have not been assigned delivery duties and assigning those drivers to deliver consignment. The driver...
ABSTRACT Synthetic acid-base indicators used in titrimetric analysis are highly toxic and harmful to human beings and aquatic organisms. Due to the presence of anthocyanins, some plant extracts have been proved to exhibit solvatochromism properties that can be exploited for use as acid-base indicators in titrimetric analysis. In this research Eichhornia crassipes (E. crassipes) root extract was applied as an acid-base indicator in titrimetric analysis in comparison to standard synthetic acid-...
ABSTRACT This study was on the significance of staff development in improving the quality education in three of the eight Hippo Valley Estates primary schools. Primary schools were targeted by the researcher because they provide the basic foundation in the education system. It is the quality aspect at this elementary stage that determines quality of the future. The descriptive survey was the research design used in the study. This design allows data collection for the purpose of making meanin...
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to find the factors influencing the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of O‟ level Geography in Chirumanzu District. It was significant for the researcher to carry out the study because there is need for provision of relevant technological equipment to enable students to develop skills that are essential for a technological age. The qualitative research design was used which allowed the generation of empirical data using thematic analysis a...
Abstract Failure to characterize autochthonous sheep breeds may result to the extinction of the important natural resource which can easily adapt to the local variation in climate change. Environmental factors and some human practices especially artificial insemination is leading to the evolving of different pedigrees.Price determination is an important aspect in designing pricing models, but what really contributes to the weight of autochthonous sheep breed remains as the major question whic...
ABSTRACT Aims: Poaching of wildlife is a major challenge in their conservation, including endemic ones like Procolobus gordonorum Matschie. Local communities in Udzungwa and Magombera poach for subsistence and small scale commerce. The Community poultry project adjacent to Magombera forest contributed towards enhancing the conservation of wildlife species through providing community with poultry as an alternative livelihood where meat and income can be generated in legal and convenient metho...
ABSTRACT Computing square roots over finite fields is a problem of interest, especially to understanding which algorithm is efficient, and how it works well. There are several known algorithms that computes square roots over finite fields, of all of them the shank’s algorithm is known to be the most efficient. The objective of this dissertation is to survey the square root computing algorithms over finite fields, particularly we consider the the Shank’s algorithm for computing square roo...
ABSTRACT Investigation on accumulation of selected heavy metals of Zinc, Mercury, Copper, Lead, Chromium and Nickel in sediment, water and muscle tissues of Clarias gariepinus (African catfish) and Oreochromis esculentus (Singida tilapia) fish was done in Lake Rukwa, Tanzania. Samples were obtained from transects of 100 m long extending from Luika and Songwe River mouths to offshore. Water and sediment samples were collected directly from the study sites while fish were obtained from fisherf...
Abstract : A simple replication-based mechanism has been used to achieve high data reliability of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). However, replication based mechanisms have high degree of disk storage requirement since it makes copies of full block without consideration of storage size. Studies have shown that erasure-coding mechanism can provide more storage space when used as an alternative to replication. Also, it can increase write throughput compared to replication mechanism. To i...
ABSTRACT In this thesis we shall be dealing with some basic known approximated solution of model problems involving Navier-stoke equations for incompressible fluid as well as linear elasticity theory.these include well known poiseuilleflow, Couette flow, flow between concentric cylinders, boundary layer flow over impulsively stated plate,simply supported beam with uniform distributed load, cantilevered beam with uniformly distributed load,linear membrane problems, where also an integro-diffe...
ABSTRACT Present work is concerned with solved a coefficient inverse problem of one-dimensional parabolic equation by a higher-order compact finite difference method and we used this a fourth order efficient numerical method to calculate the function u(x, t) and the unknown coefficient a(t) in a parabolic partial differential equation. Also discussed the accuracy and efficiency of the fourth order finite difference formula compare with other finite difference methods such as FTCS explicit sc...
ABSTRACT The corrosion inhibition efficiency of Adansonia digitata (baobab) pulp and seeds methanolic extracts on mild steel in acidic media is investigated using different standard corrosion methods at room temperature. Weight loss measurement, Potentiodynamic Polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were applied to evaluate inhibition efficiency in the presence of Adansonia digitata Pulp Extract (AdPE) and Adansonia digitata Seed Extract (AdSE) as corrosion inhibitors....
ABSTRACT In this study, a model to facilitate the establishment of sustainable ICT Hubs into the community was developed. In developing the model, a study was performed on the community and on the existing similar facilities of telecentres and living labs to identify community ICT needs and factors and challenges facing the existing facilities. The study comprised of 133 respondents of which 63 respondents were community members from four (4) wards of Dodoma municipality and 60 were benefici...
ABSTRACT Honey bee farming has been one of the earliest cultural and economic activity practiced by human being, dating back 15000 years ago in north of Africa in the times of the pharaohs. Honey is one of the most important natural products in the world which is produced by bees. However for decades honey bee farming monitoring in developing countries like Tanzania have depended much on cultural and traditional method of monitoring which cost time, money, and resources. Furthermore, efficie...
ABSTRACT This study has been conducted with the main objectives to investigate the pattern of students‟ performance in mathematics and to forecast the performance of students in mathematics in secondary schools in Zanzibar for next 6 years on the basis of best selected model. The study used secondary data of all 64,446 students from 123 schools of Zanzibar, who sat for final examination from 1986-2016. The yearly data of students' results were collected from Ministry of Education and Vocat...
