(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2018-07-06)
This paper analyses the image of women in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall
Apart and Anthills of the Savannah to bring into focus on the shifting of the
canon through Achebe’s depiction of female characters in the two novels. ...
Extraction of Scene Text Information from Video
(Modern Education and Computer Science, 2016)
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 ...
Localization of Overlaid Text Based on Noise Inconsistencies
(2015-04)
In this paper, we present a novel technique for localization of caption text in video frames based on noise inconsistencies. Text is artificially added to the video after it has been captured and as such does not form part ...
Performance Evaluation of Internet of Things Prototype for Preeclampsia Monitoring in Antenatal Care
(2020-12)
Globally, Preeclampsia has been an alarming
condition, thus creating a major concern in its prevention and
monitoring. Software developers have implemented several
Internet of Things systems to transform human society ...
Universal Health Coverage
(2020-09)
Universal Health Coverage has attracted global attention as an ideal vehicle that will drive health care
services to the individuals, families, and communities globally. Good health systems are capable of
serving the ...
Parameterization and Forecasting of Childhood Pneumonia Model Using Least Square Approximation, Lagrange Polynomial and Monte Carlo Simulation
(2020-09)
espite a study by [1] proposing a simple model of under five years pneumonia, doubt lingers
regarding its reliability, sufficiency and validity. The research question is whether the model is valid
for use or not? The ...
A Theoretical Model of Corruption Using Modified Lotka Volterra Model A Perspective of Interactions between Staff and Students
(2020-09)
Corruption is the misuse of power or resources for private gain. This undermines economic development,
political stability, and government legitimacy, the society fabric, allocation of resources to sectors crucial
for ...
Simulation of a Deterministic Model of HIV Transmission between Two Closed Patches
(2020-09)
Numerical simulation of a deterministic model of HIV transmission between major cities in Kenya is
carried out. The model considered two closed patches connected by the commuter movements of truck
drivers being 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 ...
Tuberculosis model, a case study of tigania west, Kenya
(2016)
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. Many mathematical models for TB have been developed but not specifically for Kenya. This study develops a deterministic model based on ...
