Despite playing a key role in most economies, building construction contributes significantly to climate change. Buildings consume energy, water, and raw materials, generate waste, and emit potentially hazardous air emissions during the course of their lives. These facts have prompted the...

The ability to assess the catchment potential to satisfy water demands is vital for the management of the water resources. The current water allocation system in Zambia sits under the Water Resources Management Act No. 21 of 2011. The system needed to encourage optimal use of water resources as...

Sustainable hydropower development provides a reliable and stable power source that is economical and environmentally friendly. However, its investment capital is huge and unbearable to third-world countries. Hence the requirement of an alternative power source that is manageable. Zambia’s main...

The agricultural sector in most developing countries encounters a lot of post-harvest losses due to a lack of appropriate drying and storage facilities for preservation. Though many drying technologies have been developed, there is an increasing demand for automation in drying. Concerning this...

In an effort to mitigate post-harvest losses (PHL) of agricultural products from farmers and the markets, greenhouse solar dryers (GSD) have been extensively employed by various stakeholders. The operation of these conventional GSD is though allowing cool or cold ambient air to enter them during...

This Dissertation investigates the effect of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks in Broadband- Wi-Fi networks involving public sector networks.

The continued pollution from the mining activities in Zambia both legacy and current operations is associated with the weak and unclear existing environmental legislation coupled with poor institutional arrangement of enforcement and monitoring. Implementing policies that are weak and not in line...

In general, the study focuses on Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Compression and Decompression of IP Packets in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). IP Packet Compression is the process of reducing the packet size before transmitting data in a Wireless Local Area Network...

A Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a fast-developing technology which can monitor, calculate, and communicate wirelessly thereby finding it’s place in areas such as defence, home automation, medical care and environmental sciences which demands better security, throughput, energy efficiency and...

In any company, the planning and scheduling process is unavoidable. This research investigated its effects in the electrical section of Anvil Mining Congo SA. In this company, the focus of planning and scheduling, particularly on equipment, is on preventative maintenance rather than actions such...
