In this thesis work, a method to align multiple DNA sequences is designed. The proposed designrnis an intelligent system based hybrid algorithm of two optimization algorithms: GeneticrnAlgorithm (GA) and Tabu Search (TS). GA phase is used to find new region of solution whilernTS explores regions of...
The electrochemical and optical properties of a series of low band gap alternating polyfluorenerncopolymers and polythiophene derivatives with quinoxaline units were characterized optically andrnelectrochemically for use in polymer solar cells. The polymers have band gaps ranging from 2.1-0.8...

In this thesis, we rst study the lagrangian formulation of gauge theories, QED, Yang-rnMills theory and the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model for Electroweak interaction. Wernthen, we use the framework of Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) under Covariant Instan-rntaneous Ansatz (CIA) to calculate the...
The main focus of this paper is assessing the perception of shareholders towardsrnthe benefits of investing in shares. A questionnaire was answered by 86 respondents inrnAwash International Bank S.C. The sample of this study is relatively heterogeneous,rnwhich allows the researcher to have an...
Grid computing, which is a type of parallel and distributed system that enables the sharing,rnselection, and aggregation of geographically distributed "autonomous" resources, is one ofrnthe currently emerging computing technologies gaining much attention from bothrnresearchers and end-users. This...
An accurate and up-to-date knowledge of landuse/landcover features and their relative risk forrnenvironmental hazards represents the foundation for effective sustainable land resourcernmanagement. It guides local managers in managing land resources in a more sustainablernmanner and to implement...
The multi-faceted processes of globalization have been associated with the increasingrninterconnectedness of the world or the creation of a global village. These processes are,rnhowever, full of ambiguities in that they challenge human freedom, dignity, rule of law andrndemocratic...
A hierarchy of power exists in each society whereby certain groups of people have greater access to power than others do. The dominating group members use this power to create and maintain societal structures that intrinsically benefits them. On the other bottom side of the hierarchy reside...
Nowadays about billions of sensors are deployed for different applications. The numberrnof sensors is expected to be even much greater in the near future. These sensors are of differentrntypes and produced by different vendors. Most of the sensors are deployed with much effort in arnproprietary...
The major purpose of the study was to investigate the practices and problems of educational resource management and possible solutions or the utilization of material facility in government TVET colleges in Nifas Silk and Akaki Kaliti sub cities. To this effect, out of five two government TVET...
