Extraction of Scene Text Information from Video
(2016-01)In this paper, we present an approach for scene text extraction from natural scene video frames. We assumed that the planar surface contains text information in the natural scene, based on this assumption, we detect planar ... -
Approaches for Testing Uniformity Hypothesis in Angular Data of Mega-Herbivores
(2016-03)Circularstatistics is an area not used verymuch by ecologists to describe animal movement patterns.Nevertheless,the connection betweenthe evaluation of temporalrecurring events and theanalysis of directional data haveconverged ... -
Spatial Modelling and Mapping of Socio-Demographic Determinants of Infant Mortality in Kenya
(2016-03)This paper addresses the problem of monitoring the infant and child mortality from point referenced data. Indicators of the determinants of child survival based on Mosley and Chen framework are derived and used to model ... -
Modeling Influence Tribal Coalitions in Kenya Presidential Politics: A Case Study of Kikuyu-Kalenjin versus Luo-Kamba
(Science Domain International, 2016-04)A deterministic model was developed to describe the two dominant tribal coalition based voting bloc (A and B) and other tribes (C). The first order nonlinear ordinary differential equations were deduced using predator-prey ... -
Application Of Multiple Circular-Linear Regression Models To Animal Movement Data With Covariates
(2016-04)In a many biological and physical sciences studies, a set of techniques have been developed to analyse the relationship between the circular and linear data derived from the geographical positioning system (GPS) telemetry ... -
TELECOMMUTING MODEL FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMES) IN KENYA
(2016-07)The aim of this study was to use adaptive structuration theory as a tool to come up with Telecommuting model that can be adopted by SMEs in Kenya. A survey was done to understand the extent of telecommuting and the ... -
Direction Finding with the Sensors' Gains Suffering Bayesian Uncertainty — Hybrid CRB and MAP Estimation
(IEEE, 2016-08)The paper analyzes how a sensor array's direction-finding accuracy may be degraded by any stochastic uncertainty in the sensors' complex value gains, modeled here as complex value Gaussian random variables. This analysis ... -
Moderating Effect of Government Policies on the Relationship between Mobile Technology Services and Performance of Deposit-Taking Saccos in Kenya.
(2017-02)The study sought to determine the moderating effect of government policies on the relationship between mobile technology services and performance of Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in ... -
Moderating Effect of Government Policies on the Relationship between Mobile Technology Services and Performance of Deposit-Taking Saccos in Kenya
(IJSET, 2017-02)The study sought to determine the moderating effect of government policies on the relationship between mobile technology services and performance of Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in ... -
On Analytical Approach to Semi-Open/Semi-Closed Sets
(2017-03)The concept of open and closed sets has been extensively discussed on both metric and topological spaces. Various properties of these sets have been proved under the underlying spaces. However, scanty literature is available ... -
A Lower Bound of Estimation Error of an Emitter's Direction-of-Arrival / Polarization, for a Collocated Triad of Orthogonal Dipoles/Loops That Fail Randomly
(2017-04)For a triad of short dipoles (or of small loops), in perpendicular orientation relative to each other but collocated in space, this study derives a lower bound for their error in direction-of-arrival estimation and ... -
An L-shaped Array with Non-Orthogonal Axes – Its Cramer-Rao Bound for Direction Finding
(IEEE, 2017-08)If a nominally L-shaped sensor-array's two legs are not exactly perpendicular, its azimuth-polar direction-of-arrival estimation would be degraded. This paper quantifies this degradation via a deterministic Cramér-Rao ... -
Determinants of Mobile Apps in C++ Programming Course: A reviewed Literature
(2017-10)In recent times, the use of mobile applications (mobile apps) has become undeniable where it permits people perform thousands of tasks through the use of smartphones, tablets or other related devices. The purpose of the ... -
Analysis of Static Code Techniques for Vulnerability Detection: A reviewed Literature
(2017-10)Web applications have become an integral part of the daily lives of trillions of users. These systems are usually complex and are developed by different programmers. Regularly programmers make mistakes in the code which ... -
Effects of Culture Conditions on Growth of Kefir Grains using Milk for Nutrition and Health: An Application of Response Surface Methodoly with Box-behnken Design
(IISTE, 2018)This combined process was successfully modeled by response surface methodology method with a Box– Behnken design. In this work, Box-Behnken Design of response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of ... -
The Impact of Labor Contract and Labor Union on Social Security Right
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2018-04-23)Based on ten cities’ workers data about the employment situation of the worker in 2010, the paper analyzes the influence of labor contract and labor union on social security rights by using binary logistic regression ... -
