Abstract: The application of analytical software in live sciences especially in DNA and protein sequences has been on the increase. When aligning sequences, introducing gaps in the sequences allows an alignment algorithm to match more terms than a gapless alignment. Gap penalties are used to adjust alignment scores based on the number and length of
Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging network architecture that has many advantages such as programmability, flexibility, cost effectiveness and dynamicity compared to traditional networking. Software-defined network technology is a physically distributed but logically centralized network that is centrally controlled by controller software. SDN allows network administrators to manage the network service through decoupling

Abstract: Cyber-attacks targeted at critical infrastructure (CI) are now on the increase. This is because as assets, the value or relevance of CI to the society and economy is not quantifiable. CIs are even more vulnerable since failure or disruption in one may cause serious cascading effects in others due to the interconnectivity and interdependencies
Abstract: Criminal intelligence (CI) is an analytic process of examining criminal data in search of patterns, relationships or networks between different crimes and its associates. The impact of impairing behaviours on health of the predisposed individual criminal results in patterns which need to be investigated intelligently for the discovery of pieces of knowledge required for
Abstract: The swift adoption of electronic learning prior to the lockdown and within the COVID 19 pandemic era, has facilitated teaching and learning in tertiary institutions. On the other hand, it has exposed these inst itutions to cyber attacks. Recent figures indicate an upsurge of online electronic learners in the tertiary institutions in Africa. This
Abstract: A wireless sensor network is a network of many small nodes that are capable of sensing relative data in a particular environment and geographical location and can perform some computations on these data. The ability to sense and read data in environments where some factors are monitored has made WSN prominent and increase in
Abstract: One of the primary concerns of any government is to provide security of lives and properties to her citizens. Poor management of armouries by the security agencies has been identified as a major contributing factor to insecurity in Nigeria. Inadequacies in management and record keeping of armoury weapons have led to smuggling and theft
