ABSTRACT: The complete eradication of corruption may be difficult to achieve, however mechanisms must be in place to curb or reduce it in governance. The paper presents a review on the role of Smart governance as a potent tool in reducing corruption in the public sector. It delineates the role of IT as an anti-corruption
ABSTRACT: The conventional systems in pension administration such as possession of identity card, paper documents to verify pensioners by the respective pension fund administrators is prone to a lot of inadequacies, such as fraud and identity theft. In order to overcome this problem, this research proposes an alternative method in the area of Biometrics technology
ABSTRACT Identity theft is a growing concern in this age of digital technology and applications. Traditional authentication methods such as passwords, passphrases, identity documents etc. are not sufficient to combat this menace. Biometrics lends itself as a better and alternative security measure to fight this problem. However, a major challenge to biometric system is the
ABSTRACT: Election is a formal decision-making process by which a populace chooses an individual to hold public offices. The paper-based voting system is common and insecure from many politicians to manipulate the results of elections; leading to bad governance. Existing biometric voting systems used technical type of steganography to secure election results. However, technical steganography
ABSTRACT: Operations research or mathematical optimization is the selection of a best element (with regard to some criteria) from some sets of available alternatives. An optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed sets and computing the value of the function. Linear programming (LP)
ABSTRACT: In this paper, a combination of dimensionality reduction technique, to address the problems of highly correlated data and selection of significant variables out of set of features, by assessing important and significant dimensionality reduction techniques contributing to efficient classification of genes is proposed. One-Way-ANOVA is employed for feature selection to obtain an optimal number
ABSTRACT: The need for pattern recognition system cannot be over emphasized as it cuts across many fields. Majority of the work on fabric pattern recognition focuses on determining the nature of the wefts and wraps in a given cloth. Others are more concerned with defect detection of hand woven fabrics and a few consider recognizing
ABSTRACT: This paper critically examines the current state of the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) framework as administered and published by the World Economic Forum through its yearly Global Information Technology Report (GITR) series since its inception in 2001. The newly published Adjusted Weighting Function (AWF) is a model specifically designed to overcome the inadequacies reported
ABSTRACT: In the face of rising pressure from climate change, rising populations and decreasing crop yields, Nigeria is faced with the task of confronting the critical challenge of efficiently delivering sustainable and healthy diets for her citizens. However, the poor performance of Nigeria’s agricultural sector has been attributed to the insufficient application of Information and
ABSTRACT: The importance of stop words list generation helps in the elimination of stop words, which contribute to reduce the size of the vector space of the corpus and indexing structure considerably to obtain a high compression rate, speed up calculation and increase the accuracy of information retrieval systems. The proposed system focuses on the
