Dried cassava chips have varied applications by end users that include breweries, confectionaries, starch and flour for food. In Uganda, over 80% of Cassava farmers dry their products by open sun drying and direct passive ...

Mathematical models are believed to achieve good results in the prediction of disease prevalence. The progression of an infection within a host determines the capacity of a pathogen to spread to new hosts and to sustain ...

The occurrence of wet-weather accidents, from the perspective of the road surface characters caused by poor fluid friction obtained from the tire hydroplaning, has for many years been a challenge for various road authorities. ...

Purpose – The convergence of librarianship and information science to form library and information science (LIS) is seen as a recent phenomenon, with the term “information science” originally focused on the application of ...

The movement from online catalogues to search and discovery systems has not addressed the goals of true resource discoverability. While catalogue user studies have focused on user search and discovery processes and ...

In many iSchools, the convergence of professional education for Librarianship, Archival, and Museum (LAM) Studies is becoming relevant to the discussion of improving and expanding the iSchool curricula related to the ...

This theoretical paper aims to develop a new model for the assessment of LIS education courses, to prepare students with the fundamentals of librarianship so they are useful in their jobs locally and internationally. Arguing ...
