Defining visualization operations for temporal cartographic animation design
(Elsevier- Science Direct, 2002)Cartographic animation has emerged as a potentially effective visualization technique that has an intuitive power in representing dynamic geographical phenomena through its ability to show interrelations amongst geospatial ... -
Evaluation of Software Visualization Tools
(IEEE, 2009)Many software visualization (SoftVis) tools are continuously be- ing developed by both researchers as well as software development companies. In order to determine if the developed tools are effec- tive in helping their ... -
Measuring Levels of End-Users’ Acceptance and Use of Hybrid Library Services
(International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2010)This study concerns the adoption of Information Communication Technology (ICT) services in libraries. The study collected 445 usable data from university library end-users using a cross- sectional survey instrument. It ... -
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Implementation: A case for User participation
(Research Gate, 2013)The introduction of an information system such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in an organization brings with it changes on how users work. An ERP system cuts across the different functional units of an ... -
Modeling and Mapping Crime in Eastern Nairobi, Kenya
(Research Gate, 2013)This working paper provides a description of the phases of my PhD study. Drawing on assumptions from various theories of environmental criminology, this study applies various crime mapping methodologies to observe geographic ... -
3-Category Pedagogical Framework for Context Based Ambient Learning
(IEEE, 2013)Mobile phones have taken centre stage in transforming people’s lives in all sectors of African economies. With regard to Education sector, studies show that, there is high prevalence of mobile phones among learners in ... -
Importance of the Neutral Category in Fuzzy Clustering of Sentiments
(Research Gate, 2014)Social media is said to have an impact on the public discourse and communication in the society. It is increasingly being used in the political context. Social networks sites such as Facebook, Twitter and other micro ... -
Evaluating the Accuracy and Effectiveness of Criminal Geographic Profiling Methods: The Case of Dandora, Kenya
(The Professional Geographer, 2014)Criminal geographic profiling (CGP) prioritizes offender search, extensively reducing the resources expended in criminal investigations. The utility of CGP has, however, remained unclear when variations in environmental ... -
A Spatial Approach to Surveying Crime Problematic Areas at the Street Level
(Research Gate, 2014)Reaching far beyond the realm of geography and its related disciplines, spatial analysis and visualization tools now actively support the decision-making processes of law enforcement agencies. Interactive mapping of crime ... -
Open mobile ambient learning(OMAL): The next generation of mobile learning for 'mobile-rich' but 'computer-poor' contexts.
(Research Gate, 2014)By the end of year 2011, Africa had over 620 million mobile connections, overtaking Latin America to become second largest mobile market after Asia. According to Ilona Buchem in 2012, since mobile devices and applications ... -
Culture Aware M-Learning Classification Framework for African Countries
(Research Gate, 2014)African countries are currently experiencing proliferation of mobile phone subscriptions but no prevalence of personal computers or electricity (Parker, 2011). It is estimated that, by the end of 2015 in Sub-Saharan Africa, ... -
Ambient Learning Conceptual Framework for Bridging Digital Divide in Higher Education
(Research Gate, 2014)According to ITU (2012), digital divide is the difference between countries in terms of levels of ICT development. This difference remains significant. In 2011, the ICT Development Index (IDI) value of developed countries ... -
Supporting E-Learning in Computer-poor Environments by Combining OER, Cloud Services and Mobile Learning
(Research Gate, 2014-12)Research supervision is an important type of support for advanced students when engaged in study projects or in writing their final theses. One of the most common complaints from research students is erratic or infrequent ... -
Communities as neighborhood guardians: A spatio-temporal analysis of community policing in Nairobi's suburbs
(Research Gate, 2015)The efficacy of citizens to participate in neighborhood-watch activities and report signs of trouble is important for safeguarding communities against crime. Community policing is a key policing strategy for utilizing the ... -
Construction Of Some Balanced Asymmetrical Factorial Designs
(ICASTOR Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2015)Two distinct methods of obtaining high efficiency balanced asymmetrical factorial designs that are resolvable have been discussed. One of these methods uses pseudofactors and factors of asymmetry while the other method ... -
Crime Risk Estimation with a Commuter- Harmonized Ambient Population
(Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 2016)Residential population data are frequently employed to link the crime incidence of an area with the number of residents to estimate the underlying risk. Human mobility patterns cause shifts in the baseline population, ... -
A contextualized and personalized model to predict user interest using location-based social networks
(Research Gate, 2016)The accurate determination of user interest in terms of geographic information is essential to numerous mobile applications, such as recommender systems and mobile advertising. User interest is greatly influenced by the ... -
Analysis of community properties and node properties to understand the structure of the bus transport network
