In this work several approaches of a stable method for construction of the diagnostic matrix for gas turbine engine are being researched, when initial data are given inexactly, and their maximal deviation estimation is known. The essence of the problem is the following: the equations in minor deviations describing the gas turbine engine give us system of linear algebraic equations AC=B, where the matrix C is called a diagnostic matrix, the mat...

The book was designed to investigate and identify the efficiency of the public surveillance devices in the UK in fostering security and the level it infringes the right to privacy. On the one hand, the more technology develops, the more significant becomes the right to privacy and on the other hand, the more security is placed as a national priority, the more privacy as a fundamental human right shall be protected.

The study adopted survey research design and purposive sampling technique to select two Geo-political Zones in Nigeria. Disproportion stratified random sampling technique was used to select specific markets for the study. One thousand and six hundred (1, 600) respondents were randomly selected from 22 markets within 11 states from Southern Nigeria.

Software vulnerabilities can lead to monetary and information losses. Moreover, detecting vulnerability is very resource intensive. Due to limited human and financial resources, prioritization of vulnerabilities is a crucial task. Very little attention has been paid to textual information hidden in vulnerabilities databases like CVE and OSVDB. This research explores how to use from the information hidden in these texts to vulnerability predict...

This study aimed at investigating factors influencing provision of education for pastoralists' children in mobile primary schools in Marsabit North District, Kenya. Mobile schools provide a critical alternative link to provision of education services to communities in arid and semi-arid lands in Kenya. Despite efforts to promote pastoral education by the government and educational stakeholders, over 80% of the school going age in nomadic pasto...

In an era of frequent travel, safe food handling practices are imperative given the potential for widespread outbreaks of food-borne illness. Data on risk factors for food-borne diseases indicates that the majority of outbreaks are the result of faulty food handling practices and cross contamination of enteric related pathogens from surfaces like coin and dish washing water to food. Thus, Lack of personal hygiene among food handlers, poor hand...

Oromo Language is one of the fairly well-studied languages in Ethiopia. There are various works on the phonology of the different Oromo dialects. This book is focused on the syllable structure and syllable related phonological processes of Oromo (Harar dialect) based on moraic approach. Accordingly, it attempts to describe the syllable types which are: CV, CVC, CVV, and CVVC. In view of moraic theory, the CV and CVC syllables on one hand the C...

We are on the eve of a truly momentous occasion. A full one hundred years since 1914 when the followers of Charles Taze Russell prophesied that Armageddon would occur.It of paramount importance also to advance the contention that this book also seek to advocate the contention that it not for the first time we exist. In other words, we have lived before. This therefore stand to reason that , if we ask a question at all about whether we lived be...

The work employed Magnetic data obtained from the Magnetometer at University Of Nairobi together with data from Kenya Power Company. The research was conducted for the sola...

Recently, telecommunication system requires high performance, low noise, low power and high linear RF circuits. Since the digital modulation design requires highly linear front end circuits, the linearity requirement of the LNA becomes more rigorous. Due to possible large interference signal tones at the receiver end along with the carrier, LNA is expected to provide high linearity, thus preventing the intermodulation tones created by the inte...
