The popularity of the Internet has resulted in the demand for telecommunications networks that are capable of delivering high-speed data transfers which can meet the communication needs of today’s users. However, the rural community in Zambia has continued to suffer from social exclusion since...

As the Internet takes an increasingly central role in our communications infrastructure, the slow convergence of routing protocols after a network failure becomes a growing problem. During failures, the forwarding paths in a network change, the forwarding tables in the routers need to be updated....

Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) originates from the Regional Radio Communication Conference of 2006 (RRC06) and the subsequent Geneva 2006 agreement (GE06) of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendations which made a resolution that member states signatory to the agreement...

The construction industry in Zambia grew rapidly in the period between 2005 and 2015. The growth in infrastructure development resulted in a construction boom. The boom had catalysed increased demand for construction artisans. Hiring artisans with the right skills and experience has been an...

E-policing as a service is a newly extended research concept of e-policing. It strikes a balance on cloud computing or mobile cloud computing concepts and applied policing strategies in matters of public security. The recent past has witnessed extensive expansion in broadband networks and mobile...

Planet Earth is approximately spherical in shape, and is three dimensional. To map the Earth on a flat piece of paper, in two dimensions, a map projection must be carried out. A map projection is a mathematical technique of how to represent the Earth’s curved surface on a flat surface. In Zambia,...

Post-harvest Losses (PHLs) in fruits are high, in some cases, reaches 50 %. To reduce these PHLs, several technologies have been developed; among them is solar drying technology (SDT). Several SDTs are available including solar tunnel dryers. Solar tunnel dryers are described as relatively...

The aim of this study was to carry out an experimental investigation on drying fresh Kapenta (Stolothrissa tanganicae), in a Greenhouse Solar Dryer and to evaluate a suitable thin-layer drying model for fresh Kapenta. The nutritional constituents and quality of dried Kapenta produced from a...

Knowledge has been recognised as a resource that is critical to any organisation’s survival and success in the globalised market. This is even more critical for civil engineering consulting firms because they are knowledge centric and their products are all knowledge-based. The desirability of...

The objective of the research was to optimize memory usage in body sensor network (BSN) nodes during key agreement generation. In BSNs, it is important to secure communication between BSN nodes to ensure confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the information. The BSN node is faced with...
